Ballet is a lifestyle, not a hobby.

Anastasia has known that since she could walk, and has never wavered from her personal regimen of hard work, sweat, and constant practice. The way she sees it, she has an all but assured victory at the United Ballet Association Youth State Finals.

Allison has spent as many hours on the balance beam as Anastasia has on the dance floor, but ballet had never really crossed her mind. Sure, she can hold a handstand on the beam for upwards of an hour, but she's never worn a tutu in her life, and she certainly can't keep a rhythm.

When Allison becomes entrenched in the ballet world, the two girls will face each other head to head in a battle for recognition, glory, and the favor of a certain young man.All Rights Reserved

A BEAUTIFUL TRAGEDY by anita_adrianna

Anastasia must navigate the turbulence of first love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. As secrets unravel, emotions intensify, and hearts are tested, she will learn that love isn't just about finding someone. It's about finding herself.

Expectations || Completed but unedited by BriannaVore

Anastasia is an island five miles off the southern coast of Florida with a population of around fifteen hundred. It's also the only home eighteen-year-old Sophia Quincey has ever known. Her summer is all about getting ready for college, spending time with her friends, and helping plan her dads' wedding. Sophia's plans go astray when her older sister Ariel comes home from L.A. with slightly life-changing news: their mother is her plus one at the wedding. The woman abandoned Sophia at a mall when she was six. She also hasn't contacted them other than sending divorce papers to their dad. It's safe to say Ariel's welcome home isn't the warmest. The cherry on top? Sophia is going through a reading slump as a booktuber and is failing to find a way to ask her crush out. ***Sexual Content and Language*** Published: March 29th, 2017 Completed: November 24th, 2017

Secret Time by GalaxyMusic1

Anastasia was known to be a social butterfly and spent her life walking into her best friend's house without announcing her presence. That was until something tragic happened. Her guard was up and she only spilt surface level qualities to anyone she encountered. Soon she's walking into a new school with her brother, Nick, and his best friend, Noah. When their parents leave for business she finds herself tagging along with Nick and Noah. She discovers how they spend their time-outside of school and football- and finds a new family along the way. Her old life is soon left in the dust and she grows closer to someone she never expected to be close to. Even though she promised to never open up again, it seems to be easy with him. The tension rises but Anastasia is unsure how to feel about Noah and a new side of him. She realizes he's not who she thought he was and he's always there when she needs him most, as a friend. But can they stay friends? And if they're only friends, why does she keep pulling away?

Letters to Nowhere #1 (Completed!) by juliecrossauthor

I've gotten used to the dead parents face. I've gotten used to living with my gymnastics coach. I've even adjusted to sharing a bathroom with his way-too-hot son. Dealing with boys is not something that's made it onto my list of experiences as of yet. But here I am, doing it. And something about Jordan--being around him, talking to him, thinking about him--makes me feel like I can finally breathe again. That's something I haven't been able to do lately. He knows what it feels like to be me right now. He knows what it's like to wonder--what now? I think about it constantly. I need answers. I need to know how to get through this. In the gym, if you're struggling, you train harder, you do drills and conditioning. How do I work hard at moving on? At being on my own? And what happens if I might be...maybe...probably falling for Jordan? I mean we live together now. That can't happen, can it? But kissing him...well, let's just say it's not an easy activity to forget.

"What does it feel like to be a heartless bitch?" "Cold." . . . Everyone loves Katherine Hartley - or at least, they love the illusion. Katherine reigns both on campus and at the elite ballet academy founded and owned by her father. She's every warning wrapped in silk. Elegance carved in ice, she's a girl raised to be disciplined, untouchable and most of all; perfect - a swan sculpted by years of brutal training and emotional isolation. Love was never meant for her. Especially not the kind that lingers - obsessive, aching... wrong. Especially not from the boy she's known since childhood. He's the one who sees through her mask, sees everything she tries to hide. And for the first time, Katherine starts to wonder what it would be like to fall - even if it ruins everything. He knows loving her may ruin him. But letting her go would destroy him. He's everything she can't want. And the only thing that makes her feel alive. She's the only thing he wants, but can't have.

Strawberries & Cigarettes by vcw226

She has obsessive-compulsive disorder. He finished all the required classes for graduating by his freshman year. She trains in ballet four hours a day, five days a week. He doesn’t understand people. She’s scared of waking up. He’s scared of not knowing the right answers. Two entirely different people, both driven together by their fear… of life. (Cover by GoldLipstick) A/N: Moet is pronounced Mo-ay.
