18 year old Florence Remy has three things that mean the world to her: Twizzlers, her best friends Ade and Clancy, and her parents' coffee shop the Espresso House in downtown Brooklyn, New York. As a small business amongst huge corporations, Florence and her parents struggle to make ends meet. However, they remain optimistic and happy. The coffee shop may not bring in much, but it's enough to keep them on their feet. But what happens when a group of dangerous Brooklyn mobsters force Florence's parents into giving them co-ownership of the shop? Crime boss and leader Wolfe Sterling takes a great interest in the tunnels that lead past the Espresso House cellar. Dirty business is what he's best at and dragging people into his dangerous (and illegal) activities are no bother. But things go sideways when he also takes a strange interest in Florence. And it really doesn't help that he's hotter than freshly brewed coffee...

***THIS STORY WILL BECOME FREE ON JULY15th!*** Beverly Curie only lives for herself (and maybe ice cream). When her three nieces are suddenly put under her care, she must do the impossible: think about someone other than herself. Beverly is the only member of her family left in Chestnut Ridge, where she's kept the same routine for eight years: do as little work as possible during the day, marathon sitcoms in the evening, and try (for the life of her) to get everyone to leave her alone. When she loses her position at Red Ribbon's Craft Store, Beverly is left without a job and without a paycheck. Then her estranged sister, Aimee, calls with an impossible favor: Could Beverly take care of her three nieces for six months? It's insane. But then there's the thirty thousand dollars that Aimee offers to pay and Beverly can't resist. Suddenly, she's stuck taking care of three little girls, trying not to kill the soccer moms at the snobby Percival Academy, and joining the PTO. Now Beverly--self-serving, sarcastic, and problematic--must take on the role of a loving parent. And she is anything but.

There were always 8 members. From the beginning till now, it was always the lucky 8 number. You were hiding in plain sight, in each and every music video, Bangtan bombs, series etc; you were there in all the cut out scenes, in all the fancams and making ARMY think that you were apart of the main staff. In fact only the most trusted employees knew off the two versions of every dance, one with you and one without you. And this was all a big surprise bomb, just like what the company did with V, only you were the main hidden treasure. As the era of HYYH ended, BigHit finally decided to unlock the chest, but unlike how they suddenly showed V, they slowly opened the cover, slowly slipping your character into the storyline of WINGS. They thought ARMY would have noticed, considering how over analysing they are. But not one theory was made about a possible 8th member. No one had noticed the shadows in backgrounds, no one had noticed you were the key to connecting all possible ARMY theories, but most importantly......no one had noticed that Jeon Jungkook had a twin brother.

WATTY 2019 WINNER Hale, a state of the art android, can do nearly anything a human can. He cooks meals, cleans and organizes the house, repairs broken appliances, and runs errands. He can even provide for the more carnal needs of his owner. None of these tasks should present any challenge for Hale, and they don't-until he meets his next door neighbour, Rayner. Rayner seems like an unassuming gardener, but he asks Hale a lot of questions. Does Hale wish he could smell or taste food? What would he look like if his appearance hadn't been chosen for him? From the moment they meet, Hale runs into errors in otherwise simple tasks. He experiences bizarre sensations that none of his diagnostic tools can explain, and struggles to appease the people in his owner's social circle. As the errors in his programming begin to wear on his owner's patience, Hale faces the most difficult decision yet. If he can't evolve to meet her needs, he'll be returned and recycled into parts for future androids. If he does evolve, is he still just an android? Or something more? In all this, Rayner is the only man who can help him, and Rayner only has one question left for Hale. What does he want? Hale wasn't designed to want anything, but perhaps he can find the answer in the man with all the questions.

"But if that accident is inevitable," I murmur, eyes softening. "Would you want me to let go?" Jeongguk pauses for a moment. "Leave the guilt and regret to me," he replies softly. "Once you start a journey, you finish it. It's only right for you to let go because-" "Because you want me to be happy?" She cuts him off. He smiles. "That's right." Or: She met him at an ungodly hour when her life was falling apart. With a backpack full of snacks, a bucketlist, the clothes on their backs, a stolen car, and a hundred secrets, they make a little escape together. Even if it wouldn't last forever.

This story is as equal parts beautiful as it is heart-breaking." - sugakookie20O1 "I've read a lot of sad Jungkook fanfics but this one really put me into a bunch of tears and I think this book would always remain in my heart and I could wait a hundred and twenty-five years for a sequel." - jjungkookimnida "Being honest, I'm not a crier. I don't usually cry when reading books. But the plot twist and how you've written the book... I'm literally lost for words and I broke down sobbing." - Moonlightreadings1 I can't even begin to explain how many feelings this book has brought me. It's just one of the best things I've ever EVER read. It could honestly turn into a movie and it'll be one of the greatest movies of all time and honestly deserve an Oscar." - BtsTrash_12 ACHIEVEMENTS 1st place in BTS BT21 AWARDS 2018 3rd place & Best Book Cover in 21ST CENTURY BTS AWARDS 2nd place in SERENDIPITY AWARDS 2nd place in COFFEE K-FICS [COMPLETED] Story format in note form © whippednation 2017
