I never thought it would end like this. I always thought I had a home. I always thought I had a family, but as it turns out, my past is darker than the lies they told me and the truth they kept from me.

DISCONTINUED Flynn D. Raya. Sixteen, hotheaded, stranded on a small island where simply mentioning the taboo word pirates will earn you a slew of reproachful glares and an unyielding silence. For years, she's dealt with it, understanding that any dark thoughts are unproductive, that they won't unbind her from this prison. But when she happens upon a small boat docking at her island's shabby harbor, she wonders if she'll be allowed to want again - for a life where her dreams aren't meaningless, a life where she'll be able to sear her existence into the memory of the World Government once and for all. COVER MADE BY THE WONDERFUL 7Panda7! (Oh and one more thing. I don't own One Piece only Raya, her dialogue, and changes to the plot. But I don't own the majority of the dialogue given to the other characters of the One Piece universe. That honor goes to the creator of this amazing manga/anime, Eiichiro Oda!)

Marc's only job was to keep an eye on his worst enemy, Kip Pulman and make sure the rest of the school didn't murder him. All while trying to attract the attention of the girl of his dreams, Christie Claythorne. Christie Claythorne is afraid of men. After years of relentless torture at the hands of Kip Pulman she would do anything to escape the deadbeat suburb of Astwright. Armed with her intellect and a plethora of Agatha Christie novels, she waits. When Kip Pulman dies on a drama excursion Marc and Christie are drawn together with only a fifty dollar bill and a few crime scene photographs as clues. Together they hope to bring justice to the boy they once hated (even though Marc believes that hate is a strong word). Hopefully they both get out alive and Marc will win over the girl of his dreams.

COMPLETED I am powerful. I am strong. I am fire. Rose Everett never intended to be destructive, it just sort of happened. She never knew why she was chosen to be the fire elemental, why she had to be different, and how would she ever find out. If it wasn't for the fact that her powers killed her family, maybe she would know the answers. For no one knows how long, she was afraid of her burning touch. She tried to stay away from physical contact. But, naturally, she eventually started longing for it, especially when her stunning mate comes into the picture.
