『We're not just our failures. As much as they hurt, we learn from them. Then we go out there and do our best to make up for them-- Even though we never will. We save people. We save as many as we can to make up for the ones we couldn't. That's all we do. 』
I remember it like you'd remember
breaking your arm or riding a bike for
the first time‥
‥it was terrifying‥
‥but for the first time‥
‥I felt real.

Forgiveness Is The Hardest ┊Bucky Barnes X Reader
Everything that happened to us was nothing short of brutal. Falling for you hurt but it was excruciating when you left me there. I'd imagined our life after escaping but I'd never imagined it'd be spent hating each other. Lovers to enemies. Will it ever be as it was?

They kept me for too long behind the back of the See. But now that I have empowered more than the darkness in which I was immerse; anonymity is no longer an option and it the time for Erst to know me has finally come.Complete

Childhood Sweethearts
#1 Teen Fiction | #1 Young Adult | #1 Romance "We all need someone to drive us mad." - The Wombats. He stared arrogantly down at me, a smirk plastered across his face. I sneered up at him with distaste, wanting to wrap my fingers around his neck and strangle that smirk off of him. He brushed my golden hair from my face, his long, slender fingers sparking electricity in my skin, making my knees wobble together. "Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine. His face was only mere inches from me. I just needed to reach out a little further to kiss him... "Yeah. Over my dead body." I snapped, before throwing my arms out forcefully, shoving my hands into his chest, pushing him from me. -*-*-*- He, is Carter Williams. I, am Lacey Adams. We were once, inseparable. The 'Golden Couple'. The unbreakable best friends, that everybody envied. Nothing could get between us. A part from being tighter than white on rice, we updated our status from friends to being in a relationship, frequently. We were neighbours, which meant our families were all close and even co-owned houses around our town. This, all is, until the day of my sixteenth birthday. Everything changed. The loving relationship we shared, was severed and torn apart. I couldn't hardly stand to look at him any more, without spitting fire that is. Every day is torture being around him. He was in all my classes at school and the window in my room was even directly aligned with his. So, what happens? My mother's mum gets sick, so dad and her fly out. Just them. Leaving me to stay with Carter and his parents, who are never home. We would be alone. In one house. Under the same roof. If I was insane before, I have no idea what I am now. © 2016 by LaurenJ22.

Cheer Spider (Miles Morales x OC)
I'm known as "Cheer Spider", and I've been Spider-Woman for almost a year now. I got bitten during a winter basketball game while cheering. I still didn't hesitate to show up for practice the next day, even though three girls got stuck to me during our pyramid stunt. That wasn't pretty. But, I embraced my powers quickly. And I'll be honest with you, it was fun at first. Taking a swing through the city at night, especially when it was snowing or raining, was a form of therapy for me. I never intended to become a superhero; my plan was to move forward with my life and continue being myself, but this time with spider powers. Everything changed for me after I met another individual with spider-like abilities, and in fact, it was more than just one person.Complete
