Anya Brody's Secrets - A snake...

Draeme Saekyr

In a world filled with couples, regardless of gender or species, there are always a few misfits that don't quite belong. In this story, there are at least five, if not more, significant misfits that finally create their niche, the Loner's Niche, where outgoing narcissists aren't welcomed. 
The five individual stories that'll be intertwined are as follows and begin with Kiernan Prawl, and he's an exciting persona indeed. While he is entangled in a situation beyond his wildest expectations, Anya wonders why she even bothered to get involved in this mess. 
The second story is about a female, Anya Brody, recovering from a horrible tragedy. She also has some unexpected secrets that slowly get revealed when she's one of the first to learn of Kiernan's predicament. While she does accept Kiernan's issues with his male identity, Anya hadn't anticipated the possibility that she'd become so close to him that he'd reach out to her when he got into trouble. 
Not only that, but she's too familiar with the area he wound up in for comfort. It is where her trauma has driven her out to try and overcome her past. Now, she not only has to face her past, but she'll have to decide whether to become deeply involved with Kiernan and the others or remain a superficial acquaintance that is only good for the occasional chitchat in passing.

Killing Elton John

Phil McNamara, Chris Clements

Stan, an Elton John tribute act, has always believed his music career was destined for greatness. But with every missed opportunity and closed door, frustration mounts. One night, after a few too many drinks, Stan stumbles upon a startling theory: his lack of success isn’t bad luck—it’s because Sir Elton John himself is standing in his way. Desperate to change his fate, Stan concocts a reckless plan to take down the music legend and reclaim his own future. 
Enlisting his friends George and Ziggy, Stan sets out on a mission that quickly spirals beyond anything they imagined. What starts as a wild, half-baked scheme soon draws them into dangerous territory, where murky figures from the underworld take an unexpected interest in their plan. Blackmail and threats escalate, leaving the trio no choice but to press on, even as the absurdity of their quest becomes undeniable. 
As word of their intentions spreads, they find themselves caught between law enforcement, obsessive fans, and their own growing doubts. With every step, the line between fantasy and reality blurs—are they really chasing fame, or have they become pawns in a game they don’t understand? 
Killing Elton John is a darkly comic and twisted tale of ambition, delusion, and the lengths we go to rewrite our own stories. Will Stan and his friends succeed in their impossible mission, or are they destined to unravel before they even reach the legend they seek to slay?
