Title from a song by William Fitzsimmons - By My Side.
Marian was so used to being alone. When people stopped asking, she stopped caring. So now, her present life has no communication, no connection, and melancholy.
It's not the happiest, but it's what she's used to. And to disrupt that orderly (but melancholic) way of life was to commence change.
Marian didn't like change.
But then Anne decided to show up in her life, her town, and her school. And in the bland graph of her life, Anne becomes an anomaly.
And an anomaly that is strangely similar to her. Melancholic and deep down, in pain. She's just hiding it behind a smile and a high-pitched voice.
As Marian & Anne get to know each other, secrets are revealed and burdens are lifted. As life gets better for them, a dark ending cares enough to sabotage it.
Or the story where Anne shows up just to leave Marian.
A/N:
HEY! It's Nico, from OtakuAndGamer! The duo of Dianne & Nico is presenting you with this lots-of-angst/hurt/kinda-fluff multi-chapter story!
Would you be so kind to try and read this? On some chapters, I will provide pictures and music to listen to that is appropriate for it.
If you notice a difference in Writing Style between chapters, that's because we are different people and write a little differently.
Thanks, and love,
Dianne & Nico

Percy gets cursed along the way and has to make it back to Camp to save a life. This story is about Percy self harming, and Nico helping him, there are mentions of dizziness, the feeling of starving, graphic self harm/injuries, blood, graphic thoughts of a person with depression, and probably something like psychological horror. If any of that makes you uncomfortable, don't read!!! I don't think I'm going to get any backlash for anything but if you comment, I'm probably not going to answer you! To the people who leave nice comments, I do read all of them and it is appreciated! this is my first published work, I just wanted to add something to this cool community and maybe live a little vicariously through the characters. So if any of this resonates with you, awesome, you're NEVER alone!!!! If your disgusted for whatever reason, GO READ SOMETHING ELSE, I don't want to hear you!! This story is also on Archive of Our Own. Its called Saving A Hero, enjoy! ((My first fanfiction, sorry if it's not that good!!))Complete

"I don't have time to waste with you, my husband is waiting for me." She laughed out loud making me look at her in confusion, is she loosing her senses or what? She looked at me with pity. "I feel sorry for you that you believe he loves you. If he loves you as you say why was he at my place every night for the past three days." To say i was shocked would be an understatement.

Will they be able to come together and find love in each other or would they break by the circumstances surrounding them. Join Kartavya Raichand and Anika Raichand in their journey.Complete

But Phoenix will soon find out there is more to himself, the captain, and this story, than it seems. - - - This is the first draft of my novel, which took about a year to write. As such, this is somewhat unedited, and needs improvement. Constructive criticism is both wanted and appreciated. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it. Cover is mine, made with AutoDesk Sketchbook and BeFunky photo editor. - - - - Content warnings: Kidnapping, Violence, Cursing, Fighting, Torture, Death, mentions of past s*xual assault, and slavery. Please let me know if there's any other warnings that you think should be added! (I swear that makes it sound so much worse than it actually is. This is a lighthearted story about friendship, self discovery, family, and freedom.)Complete

Especially when hiding a death wish. When her aviator husband finds out, Nanyehi must choose between fight and flight. My 2nd practice novel... (Note: there are no sexual, violent, nor vulgar themes or scenes in this story, but Wattpad says it is Mature, I suppose due to the presence of suicidality in some of the book? Imho this is Women's Fiction, as it has a strong female protag. who saves herself and has a hopeful ending. -ShiraDest, 5 November, 12015 HE) (Started on 4 November 12015 for the 2015 November 50k word story #SuperCharged #JustWriteIt challenge. Rough Draft done 29November, Posting 2nd draft chapter by chapter now...) Update: 18 September, 12017 HE: I don't think I ever did give much backstory for any of my MCs. As for clarifying the setting, I sat down to edit for setting, and realized that my problem with this practice novel is that it was written for one particular person, which is why I had so much trouble making the place definite at the start. I also thought about Marie's entrance: I'd meant to convey that expected noises were identified, and thus less likely to set off panic.Complete
