Soulmates, written by Soneforever2

This story was nicely written and very introspective, which I loved. The way the characters were written and the fresh take on the soulmate connection was great and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

we are no gods (an eye for an eye), written by BangMind

This story was very interesting and just the kind of psychological thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. The way the story twisted and turned, with a even, surprising end was fantastic! I loved it. 

Thank you all, and I hope you have a safe, happy new year!
