A prequel for 'A Rose for Emily' by William Faulkner
Miss Emily was not what she seemed to be.
She was not insane.
She was not submissive.
She was not isolated.
She was just, Miss Emily Grierson.
And she was broken.

Along the Dotted Line
I'm sorry, this is just gonna be short because for some reason, this description just keeps deleting itself and I'm tired of it's nonsense. Emily Jones is a girl who no one understands. Abused, hurt, broken. At least, that's all she sees when she looks in the mirror. Mark is sweet, caring, and optimistic. He won't go down without a fight, and he won't let anybody tell him he should give up. When he meets Emily, he's enthralled. He wants to know everything about her. What makes her tick. When he sees Emily, he sees someone with a big heart who's both afraid and not afraid at all. He sees talent in her singing, and passion for the arts. He sees a fighter who won't give up, no matter what hell life seems to throw in her face. He wants to know Emily Jones. He wants to know all the lines and strokes that make up her picture. Even the dotted ones she thinks she erased.Complete

Emily Willows longs for passion, but only with the man of her dreams: the brilliant and dashing Edward Jones. If only her oblivious, dreaming neighbour can stop with all his gentlemanly-ness and just pin her into the nearest solid obstacle available. And then, perhaps encircle her whimpering body into the solid rippling confines of his warmth to show her the greatest pleasure of being alive and breathing, and moaning beneath his- But no, he would not. He could not-he would not even want to. As they've been best friends for, well- ever. And life as Emily knows was already over when the fates showed her the blandest stars in the already sinking cargo of her unrequited love life- by producing the gorgeous product of her gender, as opposed to her own mediocre Tomboy self, the one who'd bring shame to even the finest cream of their species. Lara Williams. It was hard to pretend not to predict what happened after she crossed paths with Edward and yet even harder to pretend that the man of hot blood, desires and virility such as him would not succumb to her charms, and even go as far as to fall in love with her. While it was no secret Emily would rather run away than to stay by Edward's side as a supportive friend as he sees her to be, or rather expects her to be, it becomes extremely challenging for her when he provides her to bear the responsibility of their friendship by asking her the biggest favour he could ever ask. The one favour she was sure no friend would ever ask their own. The one she was sure to lose herself to. The one she knew she shouldn't say yes to. But it would indeed be the one to make her crazy all the way. Oh, dammit, all to hell. __ [ 𝐀𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 ] ➵𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞 "𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐞" 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲'𝐬 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟗, 𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐇Complete
Emily's Protectors
(Edited 12/04/2022) Emily's whole world was about to come crashing down, a life she had worked so hard to build for herself, shattered all because she looks like a 600-year-old vampire's dead wife. Will she survive a life full of vampires, werewolves, and other immortals. But then again would she really want to. The story contains some very mild sex scenes and some cursing. *Hi guys this is my first book on Wattpad (Well also the first thing I have written in many years) please vote and let me know what you think.

Love Isn't A Void
Your family has had a connection to the outsider for some time now, your grandmother was the infamous "unknown woman". What will happen when you get chosen to bare the outsiders mark, how will it affect you or the people around you. The world you live in has been in and out of chaos for most of your life and now you find yourself falling for the man who some think may have started it all. This story is as close to the low chaos plot of the first two games as I could write it, you're a descendant of the character the unknown woman the diary that depicts her belonged to your father. The story may have brief flashbacks but the present time as of the first chapter is a few days after Emily retakes the throne in the second game in the month of nets. The only thing that really definitely does not stick to the story (besides you) is the outsiders age I made him 20 because I'd feel weird if he was his real age anyways this story will cover sensitive topics there's a reason it's mature. THERE WILL BE SPOILERS AND OBVIOUSLY I DON'T OWN DISHONORED so yeah let's get into it, you know the drill YN= your name EC=eye color and yadayadayada if you want an assigned name it's Linet I personally connect better when I can plug in my own name and stuff okay all formalities are out of the way you're good to go c:Complete
You Deserve Better (Book 1)
**Book 1 Completed** ************************ I've had this idea for a story spinning around in my head for a while and have finally decided to sit down and start writing it. Emily (is a fictional character I've made up) and is in a horrific domestically abusive relationship with a guy called Jason, when eventually James Arthur walks into the coffee shop she works in one day and love blossoms. It's also become a random crossover with 30 Seconds to Mars, because... why not 🤷🏻♀️ Hoping this will work out and that I will actually finish a story for once. Hope you guys enjoyComplete

Outcast Reject
I was never appreciated for who I was. I was tossed aside and left to rot for a mistake I made many years ago, a mistake that haunted me my entire life. I thought he would be the one to save me, how wrong I was. My story is not an easy one but it is one that shaped me to be the person who I am today. *Extended summary inside* ******** DISCLAIMER... This book was written a while back ago when I was younger and did not understand proper English grammar. It is not the best written book out there but I hope that does not discourage you from reading the book. Although it is not the best, it does have a somewhat decent, yet a little cliche, storyline.Complete
