Sometimes all you really need is a place to call home. *** Claire is lost and scared and utterly alone. Her family is in shambles after the death of her older sister Ina, and she's left to pick up the broken pieces of herself as her life heads into a downwards spiral of loneliness. Her heart leads her to 5:48, a little cafe by 33rd street, where she finds her new home. With a broken heart and a speech disability, Jasper has his heart and mouth sewn shut by the winding threads of hurt and fear. Painting and serving coffee in cafe 5:48 are one of his last few saving graces, but the smile he's been painting on himself will soon fade away as everything he's ever held dear slips away from his grasp. Ezra is out-of-sync and oddly cold by the way life has treated his young self. Abandoned by his single mother at an early age, he has grown up thinking that he is a mistake. His constant shaking hands are a reflection of what he often thinks of himself, but the delightful pastries he bakes for 5:48's customers are a reflection of what others see of him. Drew is a quirky rarity. He is a dash of loud, a pinch of exuberant, and a cup of eccentric - just like the meals he serves in the cafe as the only chef there. Behind his playful grins and outlandish clothes, however, are his jutting ribs, hollowed cheeks, and too-thin arms. Sometimes he cannot stomach being in his own skin as much as he cannot stomach food. This family has gone a long way from finding each other, and they'll be going a long way together too as reality comes catching up to them, threatening the newfound happiness they've found with each other. Secrets are revealed, pasts become presents, and lives are changed. Slowly but surely, they find their way back home. *** NOTE AS OF 08/2026: This is the old version of the story from 2012, posted in FULL.

"This time I'm ready to run, escape from the city and follow the sun." "Well, I should probably get going." He said. "Me too." She hummed along in agreement. "Where are you off to?" "I'm going on a road trip." He grinned. "And you?" "My wedding." © Copyright 2017. All rights reserved.

What happens at camp stays at camp. // est. July 26th, 2014 - #1 in fanfiction [cover by lex]

{Third book in the 'Adopted By Elounor' series} "We've been through so much... And the last thing I want to do is let you go. Alex Tomlinson, will you do me the honor of being my wife?" I looked down at Niall with tears in my eyes. I nodded my head yes and he slid the diamond ring on my finger. Our lips met in a passionate kiss as everyone around us clapped and cheered. Almost two years have passed since Niall proposed to me. I am now finishing up my last week at university, Niall right by my side the entire time. I've been keeping a secret from him for over two weeks. I don't know how I should tell him, or how he'll react... My doctor said it's going to change mine, and everyone else's lives drastically. I never expected, that on one walk with my fiancé, I would discover such a tragic secret my enemy has been hiding from everyone. Never had I thought, I would finish university and almost immediately, start my own business. Niall and I have already planned to live on our own when I return home, so I won't really be seeing my parents. Under all this stress, the last thing I wanted was to have Niall leave for tour. What am I going to do without him? Will I be able to get through this difficult period of time, all on my own? I guess I'll just have to see what the future holds.
