For what reason does one wake up every day? People had always thought the life of ISAAC RUIZ couldn't be more perfect. Everything he wanted, he could get with his money and influence. What anyone didn't know was his real motivation to keep on living--something that was silly to others, but a salvation for him. For office employee FLORENCE VILLENA, there was no longer any meaning to his existence. Nothing could fill the void he had been experiencing inside him anymore, and he was convinced the world was better off without him in it. At twenty-eight years old, LAURENCE VILLEGAS had a lot of reasons to wish to just sleep forever. Since losing his home and family, the universe had rarely been kind to him. And yet, he chose to survive, time and again, if only for the hope of seeing his life get a little better. On Friday the thirteenth of January 2023, fates began to entangle as Laurence met with an accident, Florence tried to kill himself, and Isaac lost his reason to live. Nine months after the incidents, a new dawn fell upon those three lives when someone reawakened in a stranger's body. Set in a fictional Asian City called Perlientas. Mature topics: mentions of suicide (actual scene not depicted) and death, mental health and other societal issues, character thoughts that some may find disturbing or triggering, few sexual chapters later in the story Despite those themes, the overall story's pretty tamed.

IMPORTANT: Once in a Lifetime has been removed from Wattpad and is preparing for publication on Amazon. The first two chapters remain available as a preview. Please read the "READ THIS FIRST" chapter for more information and future updates. They say some loves only happen once. For Ody and Mano, that once changes everything. Mano doesn't do vulnerability. Aggressive, tattooed, cold, and impossible to like, he plays the villain on purpose, because being hated is safer than being seen. And losing someone again isn't a risk he's willing to take. Ody is the opposite. Bright, extroverted, charming, and painfully sincere, he notices when you're hurting, even when you pretend you're not. He remembers your birthday, offers you the last slice, and apologizes even when it's not his fault. For someone like Mano, that kind of softness is dangerous. When their lives collide, nothing about them makes sense, except the way they keep gravitating toward each other. What starts as tension becomes something neither of them can name, and soon, something they can't stop. But between secrets, buried trauma, and a world that won't let them exist without consequences, wanting each other comes at a cost. One keeps pushing him away. The other keeps reaching past every warning sign. Together, they burn. But when everything catches fire, love may not be enough to save them.

Briar had no idea that the relationship he was in was unhealthy. Damaging. He could barely tell that everything he was, and wanted to be, had been repressed and kept away by the person he loved more than life. Or maybe he did know- did see- and just didn't want to acknowledge it. Content to suffer silently if it meant keeping his boyfriend happy. And what it took for him to see the love he could have, the acceptance he could experience and the freedom he could thrive in, were three people. Three amazing, gorgeous and polyamorous people who used a cheeky fox to sneak their way into his life, a daddy he never knew he needed to break down his walls, and a sadistic dominant to lead him into a lifestyle he had always been afraid of. And afraid, Briar was. Afraid that the person he became around them, the person he could see himself thriving as... he was terrified that it was all too perfect for someone as imperfect as him. Briar; a Little lost in a big, cruel world. *******************

Knox has spent years perfecting the art of not giving a damn. He has spent his whole life keeping people at arm's length, working late shifts, smoking through the exhaustion, and surviving each day with the numb detachment of someone who learned too young that caring only leads to pain. The art club he joins for extra credit is supposed to be just another chore. Instead, he founds a new obsession and four artist that, turns out, aren't as bad as he thought. Knox doesn't want redemption. He doesn't believe in healing arcs or clean endings. But as the weight of his past presses closer, and the present demands choices he can no longer postpone, he's forced to confront a question he has never allowed himself to ask: What happens when running is no longer enough?

Evan was a shameless womanizer. Both handsome and charming, he'd never had a problem getting a girlfriend and never cared about losing one. So when he met Sascha, the simple but pretty florist, he didn't have to try too hard to get a date. Unfortunately for him, Sascha wasn't exactly his type of "girl". He still finds himself drawn to the florist and refuses to give up on his quest to gain Sascha's affections, no matter how many times he's rejected! A short, sweet story about a jaded florist, afraid to fall in love again after having his heart broken one too many times and the stubborn man trying to show him that some things are worth the risk.

A celestial rom-com about one sunshine angel, one grumpy demon, and one very poorly thought-out PR stunt. When idealistic angel Aristodemos "Ari" is chosen to promote peace between Heaven and Hell, he is beyond excited, hoping to spread light, love, and maybe even get cozy with humans and his new hellish partner. Instead, he's assigned a very unwilling roommate: Razahar "Raz" a leather-jacket-wearing, chain-smoking, harley-riding demon who gave Hell the middle finger a long time ago. He has zero patience for heavenly nonsense-and even less for chirpy angels with big dove eyes and bigger ideals. The only way to get his peaceful life on Earth back is to put up with the bubbly cherub until this whole divine cherade is over. They're opposites. They're roommates. They're not supposed to fall for each other. Too bad no one told their hearts. Think Good Omens meets Red, White and Royal Blue

• NSFW: Not Safe For Work • • • • In the world of love and crunching numbers, Benjamin had a lot to learn. Already taking a leap of faith by moving to New York City to work as an accountant at a prestigious company, he has his plate full. But a longing for love inside the closet comes knocking, and he won't be able to ignore it for long. The handsome, egregiously-tall and vulgar CFO of the company, Calvin, has Ben lovestruck. But the Scottish-born man is as straight as a board. At least, Ben assumes from passing interactions. By fate, curiosity, or simply a childish challenge, the two collide in a clumsy, haphazard way that is, needless to say, Not Safe For Work.
