When most people find out they have a gift, a certain ability nobody else has, they become some sort of Marvel superhero, fighting crime and saving the world.

This isn't exactly the case for Emerson Kelly, a twenty-year old living on the coast of Brighton.

After discovering his gift as a kid, and figuring it had no use, he mainly ignored it. Until one day when he meets a detective. Detective Seamus Murphy.

The two now go around solving murder cases, and Emmie has made enough money to be able to afford his own bakery as well. Everything is going great.

That is, until a familiar name flashes across the news program one day.

"Fleur-De-Lis Clark has been found murdered."

And thats how Emmie, Fleur, and Seamus begin their next case of finding whoever murdered Fleur.

The man keeps visiting Maggie over the years. And when Margaret turns sixteen their father gives them a gift that will change their life for the better. Chp. 4 Preview: She was able to see what the paper had on it immediately after taking it from the shelf, and it made her heart immediately drop. Her blood sugar fell, and her face became pale, feeling dizzy. Her heart began racing as she saw me staring at her. The drawing she just found was a realistic depiction of myself smiling at the person who saw it. Unlike myself, who felt joy and inspiration from seeing father draw me this, mother was scared witless. Her legs became jelly, her body was paralyzed. All she could do was stare at the drawing, knowing that no one could have drawn this except an adult. And she knew I did not talk to any adults- or did I? Now she couldn't be too sure. This picture was from someone who knew how I looked, even getting the dimples on my cheeks and small birthmark on the side of my neck. It was someone that had to know me very well.

She loves sitting in her favorite cafe-La Tasse Chaude-and sipping on a festive beverage while watching the snow gracefully fall outside. There's only one problem; she's sixteen and still doesn't know her soulmate. Her tattoo-a hot beverage with a pile of whipped cream on top-will match her soulmate's. Most of her friends have already got their soulmates. Finding him would be the greatest Christmas gift she could ever receive. Now, switch to Michael Mell: A cute, cassette-loving, surprisingly social employee at La Tasse Chaude. Unlike y/n, he had already found his soulmate: Clair Frock. Don't get him wrong-Clair is a flirtatious, smart, destined-to-be-baker that was a fine person. Heck: her parents owned La Tasse Chaude and got him a job as a barista. He just had maybe fell for their number-one-customer: y/n l/n. Knowing she doesn't have a soulmate and maybe flirting a bit too much with her: he sets out to find a way to change their fates. When he hears from an employee at Spencer's Gifts about some special blue sprinkles that change you and someone else's tattoos to match each other's, Michael immediately inquires about these special sprinkles. Messing with someone's fait: what can go wrong?

Phenomenal by RenaFreefall

I'm Brilliance. I'm Gifted. I'm Phenomenal. ~~~ Clarissa has a new neighbour. He's charming - in that Irish way (even if his name is French). She's only thinking in terms of being 'a good neighbour' and a friend, of course. She has a boyfriend who she loves - even if her roommate DESPISES him. (He's really not so bad.) But as friends, she and her neighbour might just work. Especially when he comes home one night looking like he'd fought a frying pan and lost, and she ends up patching him up. Not that he'll tell her what happened. He just dismisses it, brushes it off and changes the topic. And then it happens again. And again. What the heck is he involved with? He says it's not illegal. His brother says that he's special. And Clarissa knows he's lost him somewhere along the way. But in what way has he lost himself? And can she help get him back on the right track? And in doing so, maybe she'll admit that she's also a little lost and needs help finding her feet again. ~~~ Phenomenal (Love and Other Catastrophes Book 1) ~~~ ~~~~ Please note: Mild Language Cover Photo by: (Locating Photographer's name)
