"Smoking is bad, you know." The placid voice speaks up from the distant dark corner, nothing to see but a tall silhouette and an orange glow of a cigarette cherry. "It's the least of my problems," I murmur with my own between my lips, proceeding to feel the stagnant debris valley my throat when I suck delicately. He exhales a chuckle of cynical amusement, his footsteps getting every step clearer to my eardrums until I eventually sense body heat burning my back. "And why is that?" He whispers over my shoulder, hands inviting themselves to grip the railing in front of me so I become a prisoner between his inked arms. I swallow. "Because you'll be the one to kill me first." // Aven Brooks is hired to take pictures for the world-renown punk rock band known today as Duplicity; hoping the experience gets her into her most elite-dreamed university.

Wren Jacobs has always loved a good surprise. It could be a party, gift, or even just her favorite cup of coffee- nothing made her smile more than that. Until one surprise ruins them all. When she finds herself crying in a dingy supply closet and trying to figure out how to sneak out unnoticed, the last thing she wanted to do was come face to face with her boss. Niall Horan has seen a lot of things since he took over the ownership at Willow Lake, a prestigious golf course- In fact, he was pretty sure he had seen it all. That was before he found his employee tucked away during a party with tears running down her face. Before he knew it, he was standing in front of people he had never met with his hand laced with hers, acting as if he knew everything there was to know about her. A single night of pretending turns into an invitation that neither of them can turn down no matter how hard they try, giving no other option but to fake it until they make it. However it's no surprise when things start to get a little hazy, blurring the lines they've drawn and bending the rules in more ways than one. Niall and Wren manage to find themselves exactly where they told themselves they wouldn't. A place where pretending doesn't quite feel like pretending. At least not anymore.

The 3rd and last story of the IILYK series. All you thought you knew. All the things you didn't. From Dan's POV.

Sequel to If I Let You Know... It's a completely different story and you can read it without having read the previous one (although you'll be able to understand some things better if you have read it)... but do as you please! Copyright © All Rights Reserved

If I told you this story begins with a contract to be one of the members of One Direction's girlfriend, you probably wouldn't even press the 'Read' button. I wouldn't do it if I were you. But although this may look like ANOTHER "fake girlfriend" fanfic, I can promise it isn't like any other story you've read about the boys; and you won't regret pressing that orange button. And I always keep my promises. Same way I kept my promise about being Niall Horan's girlfriend for the summer. But that turned out quite differently...

Violet is a usually quiet, book loving girl with a fable for online book blogs, tattoos and obsessing over Cole Sprouse and Dylan O'Brien while dealing with stress and anxiety. Niall is known for his skill in bed but also his reputation to break hearts like a stone breaks glass and his parties. No one ever misses his parties. Violet doesn't really like Niall but what when he starts trying to come closer? High School is a great place to experiment and find love. - I trace my hand down his hard chest, over the inked skin and over his abdomen, until I reach his belt. My fingers lock around the slightly cold metal clasp. I bite my lip, breathing steadily. He sucks in a deep breath, tensing under my touch. I look up at him and bring my lips to his ear, quickly letting them graze his earlobe. "You're too easy, Horan", I mumble, as I let go of his belt and push him away with a smirk on my face.

This story starts at the beginning of season 3, right after Stefan leaves town with Klaus. It follows Elena and Damon's friendship as they look for stefan. Will Elena realize she wants to be more than friends with Damon? Will Damon be able to hide his love for her? Loosely follows the show and is canon up until 3x08, but AU after that. I obviously don't own these characters

This is the story of the happy human life Damon & Elena planned to have together at the end of season6. Alaric & Jo's wedding was never destroyed by Kai who is still stuck in the prison world. Told in Damon's point of view but many other characters guest star like Bonnie, Enzo, Stefan, Caroline, and Alaric. (Rated Mature only for one scene in chapter 11)
