school life

The classroom was alive with the hum of excited chatter, desks scraping against the stone floor as students moved around, exchanging gossip, jokes, and last-minute complaints about anything, including the heavy workload, tiring weather, and institutional restrictions. Sunlight filtered through...

Do you prefer private vehicles or public transport? Maybe both? For me, it’s neither. I actively do my best to avoid them. It certainly takes a toll on my frail body to walk forty minutes each day, twice in fact, back and forth from my rented apartment to the office. But I like it very much. Not...

I opened my eyes instantly, the alarm clock blaring by my ears. This was the day, the big one. Throwing the covers aside, I pressed the off button on my alarm and swung out of bed. It’s hard to stay calm, but I know that getting overly excited or panicked won’t help. Besides, it’s not like I...

"Happy Birthday to You..." Zaydas heard voices in the background. They were voices he was familiar with; however, they grew increasingly quieter until there was complete silence. In Zaydas's mind, memories of an entire lifetime flashed before his eyes. Eighteen long years in the blink of an...

‘I am an Eldritch entity?’ Eryndor found himself questioning his existence after an accident which tested the limits of human endurance. His sealed consciousness burst open, expanding and covering the entirety of the Earth before receding abruptly. Subconscious use of Telekinesis controlled...

The Killing School Life was over. Monaca could barely believe it. Well, that was a lie for the other's benefit more than anyone else's. In truth, she had foreseen this ending by the fifth investigation even as Kotoko and Masaru cheered at Monokuma's return. Big Sis underestimated her classmates...

Magic Gloves are not for Luna Throughout the ages, many heroes sought to end a darkness, for there was always some would-be tyrant to put down. From Arthur and Mordred, to Albus and Gellert, a hero and villain rose together. To aid them in their duels, these heroes sought out the Potters, a...

He could hear his heartbeat in his chest. He could feel the venom of the Basilisk before him. He did not know how he had survived for so long, or how he had his wand in his left hand. Nor did he know how the Sword seemed to grow lighter as he grew more tired. What he did know was that some force...

"Welcome, Director. Welcome to Lahti Academy. I apologize for the vagueness of your interview, but now that you're hired, I can explain it all. As you may know, approximately one in a million people develop professional-strength superpowers, and there's no way to predict or guide it. Genetics...

In the average, boring neighborhood of Privet Drive, Little Wington, Surrey, a strange looking man suddenly appeared. He had black hair that suddenly shifted to straw blond halfway through, a close cropped goatee, and a red long coat Azazel knew he stood out like a sore thumb and didn't...

Everything starts with Dreams. Dreams you hold in your heart, the Dreams others force upon you, and the Dreams you chase until you die. To lose the ability to Dream is equivalent to death. So I spent my life in a Dream. Stories, games, music, and my own imagination. Until one indiscernible day...

This is a collaborative setting construction forum thread. The objective is to combine our shared talents to build an magical school setting. The school in question will probably be pretty large - more of an university with labs and dorms for adult students than a Harry Potter-style boarding...

England [Mundane] 23-08-1969 Horace Slughorn The thin clouds of autumn veiled the blue skies of dawn in the quaint city of Ely, a gray shroud of mist cast in the shadow of the Great River. The pleasant chills of autumn were there too, a barely perceptible breeze its forebear. Moist air...

Wool Orphanage, Orphan Dormitory The alarm rang, waking up the boy on the top bunk first. He got ready for school, but there were no signs of the boy on the bottom bunk waking up for another half an hour. When the alarm buzzed for the second time, the boy on the bottom bunk woke up in a panic...

A lone figure shambles through the twilight darkness, the streetlights casting a long shadow as it lurches up the road. It stumbles over the curb, groaning weekly as it hauls itself unsteadily to its feet, drawn toward the sound of footsteps at the corner. It reached out a hand in anticipation...

This is a rewrite of one of my earlier projects: The Infectious High School AU. And this is the index, where I sort the cast for each chapter. One of the problems, I feel, with multi-crosses is that it becomes overly bloated. It's why I segmented my other big project into short, standalone...

The Year is 20XX. The 21st century, once thought to be a time of peace and hope, now teeters at the edge of a knife. Mutants, once people known only in the shadows of our world, now have had the opportunity to live, and to grow old in our modern society. The chemicals and radiation of the modern...

Being involved in a bike accident along with his girlfriend, Spencer was barely able to regain consciousness after going through an emergency procedure in a hospital. What greeted the orphan wasn’t an empty ward but a black robed woman. Informed that he had awakened a talent, he was selected...

Tai nimbly flipped over the school's barbed-wire fence with his friends' help. Not even a second later he sprinted across the open field, making a beeline towards Block C and dove into the thick foliage by a windowsill. He shifted, careful not to make any noise, and made himself comfortable as...

You had begun to give up hope on ever developing magic. Most people came to discover their magic when they were teenagers, around 15 or 16 years of age. That's how it was for your closest friend, that's how it was for your parents, and that's what all the websites online say it is. When your...

"Calling number twenty-six!" The buzz of chatter in the courtyard ceases for a moment, hundreds of applicants falling silent at the moment the woman's voice cuts through the din. It only lasts for a moment, though, once they realize it's not their number, and they resume their chatter. Save, of...
