'There's something beyond the mirrors...'

She should probably be choosing her majors for college, considering a career, and the direction for the rest of her life. Instead - she's still working at the small town coffee shop where she got her first job. And while commuting from a bigger city to the much smaller town of Briarsfield where she grew up is a pain, Evie likes the stability. The normalcy. Because the dreams or nightmares that Evie had started having a little over a year ago now are anything but normal.

Dreams of an endless void of fog. They've persisted and refused to leave her alone now for months. And Evie is haunted by the chilling feeling that she is not alone in the fog.

But when the fog suddenly becomes real, weather completely uncommon for Briarsfield at this time of year, Evie wakes up to a sensation of dread. And that something is very different. And very wrong. That something has changed and she's been suddenly put at the epicenter. At the precipice of something life altering.

Hope and Destiny (and everything in between). by whyismae_soannoying

"Whoever coined the term 'love' as a sign of endearment was an absolute idiot, and I mean that in the most polite way possible." Julia, like most seniors, is somewhat ready to face the final year of high school before she plans on achieving one of her two goals; to pursue her dreams in the field of journalism. The other dream, you ask? The one she's dead set on crumbling up and throwing aside? To experience romance worth the songs, the stories, and the sonnets. So, transferring to a new high school a year before passing out seems too short to want to live and love, but, unfortunately, fate has other plans in store. And the plan involves one sun-eyed boy with hopes bigger and beyond the world, and every intention to crash into a certain eager, future journalism student's life and break her walls. "Nobody focuses on the story anymore. It's always the beginning and the conclusion. The depth is all in the middle - the body, the 'long-ass narratives'." "Is it, now? Oh please, pray tell?" "Sure, you have your hope and destiny, but what about everything else in between?" "Like these small moments where I tell you how much reading helps me fall asleep? Or the moments where you punch my arm in return?"

The Aid by funkystyles

❝In sickness and in health, to love and to cherish...❞ Evie Stanton dreamed of playing the bass for a living before a fateful winter night hurled her into adulthood at the age of eighteen. Three years later, the former wild child hasn't let her past define her and does her best with what she's learned from it - be there for others as much as possible. Harry Moran had it all - a beautiful girlfriend, good looks, popularity. What no one could see behind his charm and sense of humor was a middle child who kept all of his problems to himself, even after receiving a heartbreaking diagnosis, so as not to be a burden to anyone around him. And then, the two meet. Art meets sports, heavy metal meets alternative rock, but more than anything, stubborn meets stubborn. Big-city girl with a savior complex meets small-town boy who simply refuses to be taken care of. Unstoppable force from Manhattan meets immovable object that has come to get on her nerves all the way from Colorado, and what better way to deal with it than to make her life all about saving his? // TW: serious illness, strong language, alcohol, mentions of substance abuse, mentions of physical abuse

Stolen Voices ✓ by daviesbaby

Playlist for the Apocalypse by Lauryn_Low

It was not noticed exactly when people began to fall victim to the broken life of routine and monotony but by the time humanity realized that witnessing strong emotion triggered violence in the infected, it was too late... In a world, where showing emotion is a dangerous weakness, love becomes the only beacon of hope. Evelyn Li is not a fan of risk. Confined to the safety of an underground bunker for the past two years, when Evie stumbles upon a radio broadcast hosted by a mysterious boy with a sharp tongue and an impressive record collection, she's inspired to embark on a mission fuelled by the belief that her family might still be out there (and definitely not because she's desperate to finally meet the boy whose voice has been her sole companion since the darkness descended). Jonathan Johnson is not an optimist and definitely not a romantic. He wasn't at all surprised when the world ended or even when the Soulless took over the streets. With the weight of rising tensions in the colonies, an absentee father, and heart-breaking tragedy resting on his shoulders, Jonathan would much rather escape into his record collection and secret radio broadcast than deal with the general bleakness of life in the apocalypse. As he is reluctantly roped into Evie's search for links to her past, Jonathan begins to wonder if he can ever truly escape his. Together, the unlikely pair must navigate the treacherous landscapes of both the unforgiving world around them and the complicated emotions within. Will their connection withstand the trials of a world consumed by darkness, or will it become just another casualty of the apocalypse? - Wattpad @ScienceFiction "Ambassadors' Picks," July 2024 - Wattpad @ScienceFiction "18 SciFi Romance Stories We're Obsessed With," November 2024 - #4 Dystopian - #1 Cure

Clackers by Arundel2000

There is nothing as powerful in life as your first love. When this happens after clacking to a strange new world where people reverse age-let's say it's complicated. Demalynn is a seventeen-year-old girl from a small town who one day hears a loud 'clack' and is transported to the planet Saffire. Naked. Then things really get weird. No child has ever been born on Saffire; clackers make up the entire population. All people who clack under thirty reverse age: each year they grow younger. As an awkward teenager plagued by panic attacks who dabbles in comedy, Demalynn just wants to go home to be re-united with her family. Citizens over thirty grow old and are forced to mine the mineral that powers giant cooling stations to keep the planet habitable. Citizens solve disputes with gladiatorial combat. The prophesy of The Coming In Saffire's time of greatest need, a child will be born to a special woman, the Gravidarum. The child, who has no father of this planet, will be known as the Unum, a child to lead Saffire. The Helper will battle to keep the Gravidarum safe until the Unum is born. The people of Saffire have been waiting to see The Coming fulfilled. Demalynn assembles a group of clackers to get her home, the most important of which is a fellow clacker: eighteen-year-old Aiden. It is not long before Jago, the ruler of Saffire, learns that a woman on Saffire is pregnant and he unleashes all his power to prevent the birth. Jago will not give up power. Demalynn is surprised to find out she is the Helper, but is astounded to learn the identity of the Gravidarum. Demalynn must battle to stay alive and fumbles towards the realization that Aiden is much more than a close friend. She is certain, with the certainty that only a seventeen-year-old can possess, that Aiden is her only true love. Demalynn is desperate to find a way back home until she must make a choice: stay with Aiden on Saffire or go back home and re-unite her family. There's no place like home.

Cynical Souls by DramaQueenforreal

COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.

The Boy in the Gray Hoodie by DoubleJinxBuyMeSoda

I was never meant to leave that room. I had spent my whole life in there, imagining what it was like on the outside. I looked forward to the day when I would finally be allowed to leave. But that day was never supposed to come. Until James decided to keep his promise. He had always been there, on the other side of the glass. Waiting. The experiment wasn't over. He was still waiting for me to change. But I didn't change. Not until that night. It was dark, and there was rain. The sound of the car engine was loud, but the crash was louder. In the crash, I became something different. I changed. But not for James. This new part of me emerged for one reason; to save her. This story is a first draft and will contain typos and grammatical errors. I apologize for these in advance, and hope you can see beyond them to the story beneath. Happy reading!
