She wasn't a bad kid.
She never snuck out, she always did her chores, she had good grades....
So, what had she done to deserve this? Never has she once doubted God - If He was really up there. And that is what sixteen-year-old Aliana Karson begins to wonder when she wakes up in the hospital room 406. 
If God was up there, and was really as fair as people preach, then why had he chosen her for this terrible fate? She was a perfectly good person; kind, beautiful, smart, talented.
Though, if you asked her what the one thing was that she wanted out of everything - her answer would be simple. Easy. Quick. To dance. That's all she wanted. She breathed for it, she lived for it. She loved it. 
But what happens when that is all shattered? What happens when the one thing she loved since she was three is ripped from right under her feet... literally?

Solar Eclipse by renriorson

Alina Valoria once believed in the goodness of the world-believed in friendship, in faith, and in a future filled with warmth and safety. She believed in him too-the boy she was never meant to love, her brother's best friend, the one her heart chose long before she understood the cost. But war has a way of turning belief into ash. When war and tragedy tore her from her family and the boy she loved, Alina learned how merciless the world could be. How a heart can shatter quietly and still be forced to carry on. How someone raised to shine with hope can be remade by grief and survival. She vowed never to depend on anyone but herself again. Entering the Riders Quadrant to honor her family's legacy, Alina expected hardship, loss, and the brutal truth of war. What she didn't expect was to face everything she once mourned as if it had died-alive again, altered by war, and no longer the people she remembers. Time and battle carve new versions of us, and not all of them survive with their humanity intact. Least of all the boy she once loved. Within a kingdom trembling under ancient prophecies and the truth of fables, Alina finds herself caught between duty, faith, and a fate whispered about since before she was born. Here, loyalty can ruin, love can destroy, and belief is a dangerous thing to hold. As the gods turn their gaze back to the mortal world, Alina must decide which pieces of herself she is willing to sacrifice-and what she will fight to protect, even against destiny itself. This is a story of war, faith, and forbidden love-of a girl hardened by fate and a boy forged by loss, bound to a prophecy that could save their world... or end it.

Everything in Between (Fall Series #1) COMPLETED by WanderVee

At a young age, Alita already know the basic principles of life, well, according to what her parents taught her. It's to love life, to be mindful, to be a good person, to be helpful, to make peace with the past and present, to let happiness come from within, and to be a moralistic. It was all good, everything was going smoothly for her, her parents love her and she is loved by many as well. But her life is no fairy tale. Just by the time she thought that she found forever, it was also the moment she realized that being a good person does not make those around you the same. Her perfect life was shattered into pieces when the only man she ever loved broke her and left her. Questions filled her mind and soul. She was questioning her worth as a person. What did she did wrong? Where did she did wrong? Does she deserve this? She tried moving on, but life gave her something that will forever remind her of her failure as a daughter in the past. But that doesn't make it a curse, because that reminder helped her live her life to the fullest. But what if love comes after her? Will she be able to fight for it? Or will she end up being alone again because of everything in between? °°° Fall Series 1: Everything in Between

My Own Way by strength0629

*This is the spin-off to Runaway Bride. I recommend reading it before starting to read this one.* Locked in a small room with her mother since birth, Amanda quickly learned the dark side of life. Her mother Angela, chained by her ankle, was only able to walk around the small space. When the day came and they were freed, Amanda being 4 years old, her life turned upside-down. She had to learn to trust others, believe in them, put her life, emotion and heart on the line. She made so much progress with Emily, her psychologist of 12 years but she's having trouble with the next 'homework' Emily wants her to do, befriend Blake and learn to trust him. Being 20 years old and still only trusting her family and her only friend, Lisa, she doesn't know where to start. Sex doesn't need emotions and doesn't need for her heart to be involved. As for Blake, he'd seen Amanda for years without her giving him a glance. Working with her father as a mechanic, and her coming around now and then, made him curious about her. When they started sleeping together, he thought he had her but always waking up alone, he realized she had other things in mind. Amanda's finally an adult. What has become of her? Will she ever fully trust a man with her heart? Will she find happiness or will she continue to live her life being cold, heartless like some people call her?

The Crown Between Us by ClarkeCollions

Princess Clarke Tauri has always been a symbol - the jewel of the Serran Empire, second in line to a throne she never asked to inherit, trained in diplomacy, etiquette... and how to weaponize a smile. But when war bleeds across the continent and rebellion ignites in the shadows, her father sends her to Basgiath War College with one order: Watch. Learn. Do not bond a dragon. But Clarke has never been good at following the rules. Thrust into the brutal world of Rider Quadrant, she enters under her true name - publicly royal, infamously spoiled, and far more dangerous than anyone expects. Her peers whisper that she's a pawn. A liability. A crown with no place on the battlefield. Until she starts proving them wrong. With a sharp tongue, secret scars, and a fire that won't stay buried, Clarke begins to carve her own legend - and catch the attention of two very different men: Dain Aetos, the golden boy with loyal hands and a wounded heart... and Garrick Tavis, the scowling wing leader who sees too much and trusts nothing. But dragons don't bond to pretty titles or whispered threats. And as tensions rise between rebellion and regime, Clarke must decide what she's willing to burn to become more than a symbol - to become something real. Because in Basgiath, surviving is a choice. Becoming fire is a declaration.

I asked breaking the silence. He stared at me and said "No, I wouldn't" shocked would be an understatement, I was astonished his 3 words made my heart jump but I wasn't prepared for what came next, " I wouldn't treat you the same way not because no woman deserves it, but because I would never, EVER bend to anyone because I won't beg for anyone to stay, because I don't NEED anyone" he said, coldly. That day I realized one thing, whatever this guy had gone through was beyond repair but I wasn't aware that with him, even I' d have to go through the same hell.

Back to the Plains by KristalKlearSky

What do you do when you are ripped from the only life you know? How do you move forward when you have nothing left to live for? Ali awakens one afternoon, dazed and injured in the middle of nowhere with no help in sight. She has no memory of this place, but it feels familiar. Staring death in the face, Ali is ready to give in, but God might have a plan for her after all. She finds herself crossing paths with a reenactment that confuses her as much as it intrigues her. She is suddenly surrounded by strangers who, in their foreign ways, want to help her. After a devastating loss in her past, Ali is skeptical of finding happiness regardless of her location. However, something about a pair of dark eyes captures her attention and she cannot seem to keep herself at a distance. He challenges her in ways she thought no one ever could and he gives her the safety she did not know she needed. With no one left to miss her back home, Ali creates a bond with those around her, while remembering the life she was taken from and the people she has lost. Is it possible to find something she did not know she longed for in such a strange place? Can Ali let go of her pain and allow herself to heal? What if it is all just a dream? What if it is not?

Fourth Wing (Summer's Version) by summcp

Ivy Sorrengail always knew she would be a rider. It didn't matter that she was tasked with keeping her sister alive in the quadrant. It didn't matter that the marked ones hated her for her mother. It didn't matter that the others hated her because they couldn't beat her. And it didn't matter that her own wingleader was hopping she failed. She wasn't just going to survive, she was going to thrive. ** This is my twist on Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yaros. I do not own the story.

Before the Answers by SayeshaL

Every year on her birthday, Ahana opens a list. A list of questions. Some are silly. Some are sharp. Some feel like wounds pressed too hard. She answers the ones she can. She rewrites the ones that changed. And she adds more questions - because life never stops demanding answers. Because growing up doesn't come with closure. Because some questions linger year after year, waiting. ****** Ahana was always the girl with big dreams, perfect grades, and the kind of ambition that made adults smile and other teenagers step back. But at seventeen, she makes a choice no one expected. Not even herself. She walks into classrooms that don't inspire her, laughs with people who don't know her, and stares at the ceiling at 2 a.m., wondering if this is all she'll ever be. There are toxic friendships that drain her, and boys who don't stay. There's guilt for not loving someone back. And heartbreak from someone who couldn't choose her. There are late-night breakdowns, and moments of insane happiness. And always - always - there's the list. Through it all, Ahana keeps writing. Because the questions still matter. Because she's still trying to become the girl her seventeen-year-old self believed in. 'Before the Answers' is not a story of perfection. It's a story of almosts, quiet strength, and learning to be okay with not having all the answers.
