DISCONTINUED (probably) "calling it a metaphor is easier than admitting that im lying to myself." someone's too much and another's not enough. eventually the edges are going to crack. highest rankings - #1 in laurroth and #3 in mcd. also on ao3!!

Garroth still remembers the day when Aphmau and Aaron started dating. It hurt him very much then, but doesn't hurt him as much anymore. You see, he has moved on. (Even though he keeps on denying it) To someone else. Someone who he knew would never return his feelings for him. But what if they did??? Laurance wasn't as devastated as he should have been on the day that Aphmau and Aaron started dating. He had always known that he liked Garroth, but didn't want anyone to know. Besides, Garroth would never like him back, would he? Travis...... Well let's just say he has liked Zane for a while now. Everything about Zane is perfect in his opinion. Zane can't have feelings for him, could he? Zane, the lonely emo. His favorite color is black. His clothes are black. Pretty much everything about him is black. Until he starts to develop feelings for someone. Then some white and green comes into his life. But will it stay? Dante likes Vlyad. He really does!!! But what if Laurance's annoying sister tries to take him away? Oh boy, this will be interesting. Vlyad is stuck. He really likes both Dante and Cadenza!!! But he can't choose. Will someone have to choose for him? Cadenza is not really supposed to have a paragraph of her own, but we will keep it. She likes Vlyad a lot, but she sort of has feelings for her best friend Lucinda... (Hey, if Garroth and Laurance can be together, Lucinda and Cadenza can too.) Who does she choose? Who does she want to choose? This is a fanfiction story about the characters as if they were in real life. This was written by the following lovely people: - @lizzerlou -Liz (The one with the idea and Laurance's Pov Writer) - @cupcakeyum0211 - Cassie (Garroth's Pov writer) - @NoelleAphmauFan1003 - Noelle (The writer of random Povs) - Jade - Jade (Zane and Vlyad's Pov Writer)

~Disclaimer~ -May contain slight use of profanity. ~~~ "His name's Garroth- I found him, during my hike through the woods..." "...Dante...care to explain why there is a shirtless stranger...in our living room." "Thank you, for your graciousness. Honestly, I'm not sure if I would've been able to last, if it weren't for you." "We aren't living in some medieval, or fantasy, era. This is real life. Snap out of it." "I am suffering from memory loss. I have no recollection of events prior, to your friend Dante finding me." "Even if you are cute, I'm not letting that get in the way of how I feel towards you. You're obnoxious." "So, you figured that kissing me would solve that conflict?!" "...The world keeps moving around us. We can either stay here, or move with it. That's the true hard part." "Stop toying with my emotions, damn it! One minute you say you hate me, the next you're flirting with me?! I don't know what to think of you, anymore." "Miss Aphmau, you have to help me... I think I'm falling for...him..." "You're all I have left in this world that has forsaken me. Even if we don't get along all the time, I'm glad I have you with me..." "If I am the moon, does that make you the sun? We both may be different, but we have our unique ways of lighting up the world. And, you help me with that part..." "I...I think I have fallen in love..." "Does he really care about you? Or, is he using you? Just look at how he can act towards you." "...This isn't your universe..." "You can't leave me!" "I'm sorry...but I can't stay here any longer. This isn't my home. I wish I could take you with me, but I can't..." "I have to go now..." ~~~

Sam is the most promising swordsman among this year’s crop of Paladin trainees...and knows it. Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam is the kingdom of Thule’s best hope against the violence wrought by demons. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she’ll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one. But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn’t recognized her as Lady Samantha--yet-- but if he does, he’ll take away her sword and send her packing. Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable. Sam, Braeden and Tristan set out for the western coast, charged with rooting out an infestation of demons that has made the West unlivable. As they travel, they uncover a deep-seated corruption of power that threatens to derail everything they stand for. Rebellion stirs, led by a rival faction of warriors who tempt Sam to join them with an irresistible offer. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life -- or just her heart? Reminiscent of Mulan, but with a medieval fantasy twist, Paladin is a tale of adventure, action, and romance.
