Archer Morales has never believed his life was meant to be anything other than pure hell in which every minute feels like a struggle to keep breathing. That's why he's so keen on ending it. Not because he wants to, but only because he has no idea how to stop the dark, intrusive thoughts or the crippling depression that's always kept him in a chokehold. At this point, Archer has all but accepted that this is simply how he is - broken. He doesn't know if he even wants help or how to ask for it, and admitting he needs it when Archer's own mother has demons of her own to battle doesn't seem like an option. Things are hard enough keeping the family coffeehouse running and making sure Archer's little sister, Rosie, never learns the horrid truth about what happened to their father - or how much Archer feels responsible for it. Just as he's sure he's mapped out his next steps to permanently solve his problems, the last person in the world Archer expects to make him think twice enters the picture: Hadley Jamison. He doesn't know what to make of the popular girl who always seems to be smiling and is way too determined to become his friend. Archer is overly suspicious of Hadley and her intentions at first, but the walls he's spent so long building to keep himself safe start coming down much quicker than he would've thought. Despite all the change - and some of that change Archer can admit is good - there's still one thing he's certain of: nothing good lasts forever. At least, that's what he's always told himself. But now that the blinders are coming off and Archer realizes he's not as alone as he'd thought, he can't help but be terrified of what will happen if the very thing he never really thought existed - love - is snatched away from him. And possibly the hardest lesson Archer is about to learn is that while you can't run from your past, you can change your future - even if you always felt like you never deserved one.

She only has twenty-seven days to do it. And if Hadley doesn't succeed? Well, she doesn't want to think about that.

My Immortal, something many claim as the first modern fanfiction published onto the internet. Oddly enough, this trainwreck of a story has an author whose identity remains a secret to this day. My Immortal follows the adventures of Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way in the gothic alternate universe of Harry Potter, so in many respects, My Immortal is also the first instance of AUs being introduced into established works. Originally posted on Fanfiction.net 2006-2007, the story was once taken down, only to be brought back from the dead by a user named: xXMidnightEssenceXx on the same website. Which then reignited the internet in a fiery explosion of parodies, serious book readings and much more. The story ended as mysteriously as it had begun and is considered an example of what NOT to do when you're writing fanfiction.
