IF YOU WISH TO READ THIS STORY IN ITS ORIGINAL, SAFE FORM, PLEASE GO TO WATTPAD * Unlike others around her, Arisa Lee was special. She was different, a child of darkness shunned by society because of her special ability, her power of alchemy. She chose a life of isolation when she grew because of that, and for a job that needed her to keep her identity and very existence a secret. And she loved it. A moment of recklessness and a dangerous mistake turns her life upside down though, throwing her into a world where alchemy is nothing uncommon. She is quickly surrounded by things she never expected to have existed - State Alchemists, Homunculi and the Philosopher Stone - though is quick to adapt and begin her journey to look for a way back home. While she meets many she comes to care for on her journey, she also meets with trouble, especially from a sadistic Homunculus who cannot leave her alone for more reasons than one. It is a test of time, emotions, bonds and secrets that Arisa must face on her journey, to protect those she wants to protect and achieve what she wants to achieve. But perhaps there is much more at stake and to be considered during her search for a way home - secrets, revelations, wishes and perhaps even love. ~~~~~~~~~~ Fullmetal Alchemist and all its franchise (C) Hiromu Arakawa KDrama Healer and all its franchise (C) Song Ji-Na OC and creative plot (C) Midnight_Lilac

Our Own Summer. by fwjoogie

Personally, I never saw myself as an optimistic person. I never really had any friends, I didn't share feelings for people, I never really had any social life whatsoever. My life was always boring. Especially when I was younger. My parents were sucked up alcoholics, we never had the money to do anything due to my mom quitting her job and my dad being a selfish prick. Though, I'm now an adult; 18 years old. No longer in school. I have job at Walmart as a nightshift stocker; my mother's friend gave me the job. It's summer, so I'm not working as much. I have a small friend group, containing people of 4. Me including, Nathan, Carly, and Dalton. We've known each other since early middle school. I, Kyle, have known Carly and Dalton since grade school. It is rolling up to be Summer. Us 4, have decided to make this Summer year the best of our lives. Join me and the others in our journey, exploring our emotions and different places. Getting into tight scenarios. Explore it through our different pov's. It's definitely a train ride! kyle..wyaa - tiktok enjoy my story! im not an experienced wattpad writer, and im not natively english, so just try your best to make up with my language. I will most likely be making a sequel to this story with different endings and scenarios. And, probably a copy but in my native language. ( Русский ) This story does have NSFW in it, and some trigger warnings. I, of course, will make sure to put the TW at the start of the story of what could possibly be triggering to some. + A lot of songs are used in this story, which some include with the title. Some artist's like, Deftones, $lothboi, Glass Animals, Nirvana, even some rappers song's are included! So, if you noticed anything related, drop a comment on the chapter to tell me you noticed! I try to keep each chapter a single word name as well, sometimes I add a subheading to the chapter :). thank you for reading lovelys<3.

Adelaide did not expect to fall in love with Nolan and end up pregnant while he went away to join the military. ~*~ Nine-teen year old Adelaide Burke wanted a fun get away.

A month after Adelaide returns home, she finds that she is pregnant. Throughout most of his life Nolan Marcos has wanted to join the military.

When Nolan arrives he is met with a little girl with dimples and curly brown hair, that resembles Adelaide and Nolan. What will happen when Nolan meets his Unexpected Gift? ~*~ "Mommy!" A little girl came running around the corner. "Mommy, I need to potty." She was adorable and pouting. She had blond hair that was up in pigtails, she looked to be about two years old. Adelaide shot me a side glance and knelt down to face the little girl. "Okay, baby. Let's hurry." She picked her up and quickly turned to me, biting her lip. "Come in, Nolan. We'll talk in a minute." Then she walked off with the little girl.

Aymee Parker B2 - The Cursed Mark by 0reoblanc

English version of the second volume of Aymee Parker's serie. Aymee returns for her second year at Hogwarts and, contrary to what she thought, the tensions between the houses are far from being appeased. On the contrary! Since this damn mark appeared, everyone is looking for a culprit! Not to mention the return of Annelise Chevalier, who seems determined to discover her secret. "Dear students, we present to you the Mark of the Loser. Whoever wears it will be the victim of their karma. Friendship will be your salvation or your end here. Justice will be done: you are solely responsible for your misfortunes." On the side of the colony, it is not better! Relations are just as catastrophic: everyone is choosing sides, there are even spies! Aymee fears that the great prophecy will come true and destroy the closest thing she has to a home. Sources for this volume: - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (for lessons and all) - Percy Jackson 2 - Sea of Monsters - The Demigods diaries (especially Son of Magic, which follows Alabaster) (It's set in 1989-90. The universes belong to JKRowling and RRiordan respectively. I just created the story and some characters. There are some jokes that are inspired from Pinterest or Tumblr. Please do not plagiarize!)
