Joy has spent the last ten years running. From cold towns and worse apartments. From men who raised their voices too quickly. From motel rooms with broken locks and memories that still wake her up at three in the morning. By twenty-seven, she's learned how to survive quietly: keep moving, keep smiling, never stay long enough to belong anywhere. Oceanside, California was never supposed to be permanent. Neither was The Drop. After walking into the bar looking for work, Joy unexpectedly finds herself pulled into the orbit of the Cody family - a dangerous, volatile crime family held together by loyalty, violence, and Smurf Cody's suffocating control. Deran gives her a chance behind the bar, and what starts as an easy friendship slowly turns into something far more complicated as Joy becomes entangled in the family's lives. Especially Pope's. Quiet, observant, and deeply unsettling, Pope sees too much too quickly - the scars hidden beneath Joy's tattoos, the exhaustion she disguises with humour, the careful way she keeps one foot permanently out the door. As the lines between survival and belonging begin to blur, Joy finds herself becoming attached to the worst possible people she could ever learn to love. But nobody enters the Cody family untouched. And nobody leaves unchanged. A slow-burn fanfiction. This book will include heavy descriptions of drug use and addiction, self-harm scars/references, childhood abuse, domestic violence, emotional manipulation, mental illness, violence, trauma, sexual themes, and mature language. The feedback you guys gave me after i wrote my Jack Abbot books was AMAZING, thank you so much! I don't feel terrified sharing things i've written now, this will be VERY different to the other two books and a lot darker but i hope you enjoy it as much!

Things had gone down hill and your life had taken a turn for the worst, but when you bumped into a famous but familiar face things began again for you with a little more spice than you were used to. Henry moves you both backwards towards the plush sofa that is situated against the back wall. As Henry sits himself down, he pulls you on top so you are now straddling him. Suddenly aware you are naked beneath the robe your eyes go wide and you try to lean up on your knees. "What are you doing?" Henry whispers. "Well I'm, kind of naked beneath the robe." You reply coyly. "That's a shame." He pulls you down onto him roughly and wraps his hand round the back of your neck to pull you into him again.

Nora Robinavitch grew up in the Pitt. Now she's back-not as Robby Robinavitch's daughter, but as a medical student determined to prove she belongs. Between impossible patients, chaotic shifts, a fiercely protective father, and Trinity Santos calling her Traffic Cone, Nora has enough to worry about. Then there's Dennis Whitaker. He's sweet. He's anxious. He's helpful. And he's absolutely terrified of her dad. What starts as friendship slowly becomes something neither of them expected. Because apparently surviving the ER is easier than falling for your boss's daughter. 🏥❤️ OC X Dennis Whitaker.

Reader falls into the Witcher universe. _____ Your head pounds. The world around you spins, the ground beneath you uneven and damp. You blink hard, trying to clear your vision, but the dim light does little to help. Trees loom overhead, their twisted branches clawing at the sky, and the wind whispers through the leaves in a language you don't understand. This isn't right. You push yourself up on shaking arms, hands sinking into mud and brittle leaves. "Where am I?"

When Edward Cullen enters the bloodstained halls of Volterra prepared to die, his sister Nora ends up making the ultimate sacrifice. Before any threats can be made, Aro is searching her mind and discovering her power. It's more rare than mind reading and far too dangerous to set free. But of the three kings, it is Marcus who takes the greatest interest in her. A king who has mourned for centuries. A king who had forgotten what it meant to want. Until her. Nora came to Volterra to save a life. She never expected to become the fixation of an immortal king.

A collection of reader-insert one-shots full of slow burns, soft moments, angst, and all the complicated ways of loving Dr. Abbott.

Garrett Graham is the golden boy of Briar University-captain of the hockey team, arrogant, and used to getting whatever he wants. Ella Monsen is his equal in every way-captain of the volleyball team, just as confident, just as untouchable. They don't believe in love. They don't follow rules. And they definitely don't fall for people like each other. But one reckless moment turns into a dangerous game neither of them knows how to win... Because this time, it's not just about playing. It's about losing control. All rights to Elle Kennedy for the characters!

///Starlight - New Version\\\ Evangelina 'Eva' Swan had never given much thought to how she would die, she was eighteen with her whole life ahead of her. At least that's what she thought. Until one day she went out onto the Arizona desert to take some pictures and didn't return home that night. Missing for almost a month, when Eva finally returned home, she wasn't the same girl that she had been: something about her had changed, she had changed. After days of keeping herself locked in her bedroom with the curtains closed and the door locked, only coming out once the sun had set and everyone else had gone to sleep, Eva finally convinced her mother that a change of scenery was all that she needed to heal from her mysterious ordeal. So it was Goodbye Phoenix, Arizona and Hello Forks, Washington. (Jasper Hale/Original Female Characters)

Camryn Wells wasn't trying to rebuild her life so much as outrun the version of it that nearly destroyed her. After a year and a half off the grid, nursing wounds no one could see and some that still ached like hell, she's back in Pittsburgh. Sort of. She's here for Gwen, the woman who adopted her, who's now fading into early-onset dementia. She's on night shift, working trauma at PTMC, trying to remember the nurse she used to be-and to convince her small army of overprotective siblings that she's fine now. That she's not the broken girl they saw in that hospital bed in Boston. Camryn is sunshine incarnate: bright-eyed, too kind, stubbornly hopeful, and despite everything, still believes in second chances. What she didn't plan on? Her new next-door neighbor just happens to be the gruff, quiet, unflinchingly calm ED attending who runs her shift with surgical precision... and dry quips that cut sharper than a scalpel. Dr. Jack Abbot doesn't do distractions. Not from interns. Not from administration. And definitely not from the impossibly cheerful nurse who crash-landed into his backyard and, somehow, into his life. Guarded, fiercely competent, and more at ease in chaos than comfort, Jack prefers solitude-until Camryn. With her pastel mugs, man-hating cat, and maddening habit of calling him out with a smile, she worms her way into every corner of his neatly boxed-off world. She's not what he expected. And he's exactly what she wasn't ready for. But on the night shift, where everything broken comes through the door eventually, maybe they'll both learn healing doesn't always look like what you thought.
