Welcome to Wattpad's yellow pages, your go-to source for community, opportunity, and fun. Wondering what awards are open? What about the status of those awards you entered three months ago? Is that even still happening? Well, lucky for you, I've done the work, so you don't have to. Within these pages are awards that have been active within the past six months, organized alphabetically, with dates of entry deadlines, judging windows, expected results announcements, and latest updates from the organizers. This will always be a work in progress. If I've missed something or you'd like me to add a new chapter, drop me a comment here or a message on my profile and I'll look into it. This is a one woman show, so I can't cover as much as I would like, but I'll do what I can. Graphics created by me using resources and tools in Canva Pro.

There's only one problem: Skating at that level means doing away with everything his family stands for. Can Winter find the courage to say "no" and forge his own path?

What if... the SPECIALISTS went behind the WINX's backs and met with their EXes? Now, hanging out with the Velvyns (their EXes) was never a pleasing thought. But if it was the price for keeping the WINX safe... What's the consequence? What's the price to pay for keeping their beloveds safe? Only if they knew what the future held... They would've said no. They wouldn't have played their cards. But they didn't. So remember, my readers; Every Move Has Consequences... --------------------------- Hello! I'm YSVYXZ, or you could just call me Vyxz 😉. Anyhow, I am fully aware that there are many books that have the concept and plot of the Specialists dating their exes for a mission or so, but MOST of their endings are usually involved with having sex out of marriage or so. So I wanted to show what's been going on in my head. Now look, I'm still growing in writing-so you will be finding typos (especially from my early chapters) and grammar mistakes. !! Be aware that only Vivian Blackwood, Zayn Williams, and four of the members of the Velvyns are my property and are not to be used without my consent !! - Author YSVYXZ (updated December 17, 2025) **Some chapters have been edited, and will be edited (depending on my mood)**
