Classical Stories

Will their pasts allow them to have a future together? Elizabeth "Esi" Solomon is an Afro-Caribbean British girl studying at an Ivy League University in Connecticut with big dreams to make the world a better place. Porte Danvers could not be any more different- there was his perfectly tamed blonde hair, grey eyes, and the way that he approaches life and her-intentionally. He is a wealthy Architecture alum at the same university, but hard losses have made him adopt a distant attitude to others. When the two surprisingly hit it off at the campus bookstore, Esi and Porte bond over a shared love of classical literature. As their friendship deepens to something more, both of their pasts threaten to pull them apart. When push comes to shove will their pasts hamper a shared future or will their friendship be lost forever? Imaging Us is a modern story of love, knowledge and learning self-acceptance despite life's obstacles.

"I don't want to go amongst mad people!" Margaret wailed in dismay. "Oh, you cannot help that, dear. And so you see, we're all made here." The cat answered, calmly. Margaret was always the perfect child. Well-educated. Polite. Responsible. And sane. Alice was the opposite. She spoke thoughtlessly. She was flighty. And not sane. Margaret has been keeping her little sister Alice's dwindling sanity a secret for years. But one fateful day when the secret slips, the two girls fall into a rabbit hole in an attempt to escape and everything changes.... Margaret and Alice find themselves in the nonsensical world of Derekrum. A place of terror (and steampunk architecture) led by the Red Queen. And Alice is taken in by the Resistance, a force rebelling against the Queen. Whereas Margaret is reduced to working in the Queen's palace. But when the Rebellion's time begins to run out, they may have to take extreme measures for victory. Find out more in this hilarious and dark slowburn romance based on the classic story, Alice's Adventures In Wonderland!

Southfield High was like any other ordinary school. So why was it like Hell for Max Rivas? Not only was it the only high school in the city, but it also housed the world's greatest number of social cliques and classes. You would have the rich kids who ran the place, the middle-income ones who stayed out of the way, and those from the slums -- loners, freaks, and basically every popular student's favorite punching bag. Max belonged to that last group. All his life, Max had only known survival. Whether it be finding ways to scrounge for money in his rundown house, or walk paranoid in the halls of school. It had gotten worse during high school -- until his senior year. When a new factor entered his life. Asher Grayson. The boy who made it worse before he could make it better. Everyone's dream friend, boyfriend, and basically Southfield High's resident pretty boy, Max found himself Asher's sole victim. But what if this one was different? What if, this time, he found an interest in his aggressor? And surprisingly so, what if those thoughts were reciprocated? Max had always thought lowly of those living the upper class lives. The ones who'd sneer down at him as they walked by. So why was this Hell suddenly not so bad when his life was turned upside down by the one he least expected? (WARNING: lots of swearing. takes place in a high school. you should expect it lol minor acts of violence/aggression as well)

Pollyanna Grows Up is a 1915 children's novel by Eleanor H. Porter. It is the first of many sequels to Porter's best-selling Pollyanna (1913), but is the only one written by Porter herself; the numerous later additions to the Pollyanna franchise were the work of other authors.

Carina was one of millions left to die. She fought back. She found the secrets of her enemies and exposed them. They tried to kill her for it. When that didn't work they sent her off into space. Now, even though it was what she had thought she wanted, she has to survive a new planet, new dangers, and what feels to her like a whole new reality. Trigger Warning: There are scenes of battle and death, emotional and physical descriptions of grief, and loss. Religious trauma is also something that is mentioned though not in direct relations to the characters at this time. I am also posting this as I write it and may miss adding triggers to this list. Please note that this is meant to be a sci-fi romance with paranormal themes and mentions of religion, war, and captivity. If these themes are not for you I understand and hope you find the story you are looking for, but please put your mental health first.

Intrigue, revenge, disastrous results. One of Shakespeare's masterpieces that deals with race, class, and the deadly sin of envy.

Some people enter your life through the front door. Autumn Harlow came through the back passage, sat down across from me, and never really left. I grew up learning which rooms were mine. As the butler's son, the rules were simple: side entrance, measured voice, and correct amount of gratitude. My father taught me to maintain myself with precision. To want things quietly. To understand, without being told, exactly where the line was - and never cross it. I followed every rule. Then she started appearing in rooms where I was trying to study. She never knocked. She never explained herself. She just sat across from me with those impossible dark eyes and asked questions no eight-year-old had any business asking and watched me work like it was the most interesting thing in the world. I told myself she was bored. I told myself it was nothing. I told myself proximity isn't belonging - and I believed it for a long time. Why I Hate Autumn is a slow-burn literary romance told across four seasons. WINTER - the boy who learned to make himself small. SPRING - the girl who refused to let him. MONSOON - the distance that almost finished them both. AUTUMN - the return. The reckoning. The cost of all those years of silence. This is not a love story that announces itself. It's the kind that builds in the margins - in shared silences, in library books covered in brown paper, and in a girl who sat on a cold stone bench and waited for a boy too disciplined to admit he was already there. By the time he understood what she meant to him, she had already known for years. For everyone who loved someone slowly, without meaning to, and realised it far too late. Updates weekly. Slow burn. Worth it.
