He never knew life could be this way, but truly if he did, he wouldn't have cared. He cared about nothing, not even himself until her. Before her, he was empty/ Before her he knew nothing of joy or completion, and this is his journey to his life After her.

Tessa Young is an 18 year old college student with a simple life, excellent grades, and a sweet boyfriend. She always has things planned out ahead of time, until she meets a rude boy named Hardin, with too many tattoos and piercings who shatters her plans.

This is the sequel (continuation) of After. Hardin and Tessa's relationship will be tested in ways she never expected, but he knew of all along.

The passionate story of Tessa and Hardin continues as family secrets, deep betrayals, and career opportunities threaten to tear them apart.

When thirteen-year-old Maddie's world is shattered by her mother's sudden death, she discovers the existence of six older brothers she was separated from at the age of three. As she grapples with the unravelling of her once-familiar life, her brothers strive to protect her from lurking dangers. Amidst a dangerous terrain rife with secrets and threats, Maddie draws strength in the unbreakable bond of family as she navigates the shadows of her past to forge a new future. This the rewrite of 'Their Sister, Their Strength'. You'll notice that despite the same characters and world, there are several key differences. This is inspired by @werkapisze's Rodzina Monet which I'd highly recommend to read if you haven't already.

After everything fell apart, the court made a choice Claudia never would have made for herself. At fourteen, Claudia Salinger is forced to leave behind the only version of home she has ever known and move in with her older sister, Julia, and Julia's husband, Griffin, after they are granted full custody of her. But this is not the life Claudia wants, and she makes that clear from the start. Julia and Griffin have built a steady home together. They have rules, routines, and a four-year-old son, Rainer, who does not understand why his new big sister is always so angry. Claudia feels shoved into a life that already existed without her, and no matter how much Julia loves her, love does not make the resentment disappear. This story is an AU of Party of Five, where Julia and Griffin become Claudia's full-time guardians while she is still a teenager, and Rainer exists much earlier as their young son. It keeps the heart of the original characters, but changes the family timeline and living situation to explore a different path - one where Julia is no longer just Claudia's sister. She is the one raising her. Claudia is grieving, furious, defensive, and hurting in ways she does not always know how to name. Julia is loving, strict, and trying to hold the line even when it costs her. Griffin is steady, protective, and fully part of the family Claudia is now stuck inside. And Rainer, too young to understand the history behind any of it, somehow still sees every crack in the room. This is a story about custody, anger, rules, aftercare, belonging, and what it means to be kept even when you fight it. Sometimes love is soft. Sometimes love is the person who says no and means it.
