The Palmer Pool by AnnaWestley
36 parts Complete
[Wattys 2022 Winner!] Vanessa Brooks, an anxious and cynical seventeen year-old, discovers she can travel to the summer of 1953 through the run-down community pool in her rural Michigan town and risks her future as she falls for a boy who lives in the past. ****** On the last day of junior year, Vanessa Brooks joins her friends for a traditional jump into the city pool to celebrate the beginning of summer and the last year they plan to spend in Palmer, Michigan; a dead-end riverside town with an eerily abandoned historic main street and decaying Victorian mansions. But when she resurfaces her classmates have been replaced by girls in retro swimsuits and bathing caps and guys in thigh-baring briefs with cigarettes tucked behind their ears. When Pete Harrison, an unfamiliar face who seems somewhat familiar with hers, offers a dizzy and confused Vanessa a towel and a ride home, she discovers her house and family missing. She has somehow slipped into 1953, the year her grandparents graduated high school. Using the pool and vivid imaginings of her grandfather's memories, Vanessa continues to escape to 1953- and to Pete, who, despite his unaffected kindness and optimism, has a mysterious bad reputation around town. But as she dives deeper into the summer her grandparents fell in love, she finds herself unable to return to the present without venturing even further into the past to correct a mistake that threatens her family and future. *Content Warning: this story contains scenes of near drowning and other perils on the sea, swearing, smoking and alcohol use* This story is complete at ~90,000 words.

An Unpredicted "Us" by brandon61386
45 parts Complete Mature
***Updated and re-edited August of 2024*** Lots of "F-bombs", but an incredible love story of the unpredicted. Very Mature. Very intense. 18+ Ryan had just turned fourteen when he discovered his girlfriend Brenda was pregnant. He gave up everything to stay with her and raise the child. Lacey is nineteen and Ryan's now grown-up daughter. Lacey and her lifelong friend Hannah move into an apartment together. Ryan is now thirty-three and finds out Brenda has been cheating on him. Ryan moves in with Lacey and Hannah temporarily. Lacey gets stuck going with her mother and her mother's new boyfriend on Vacation for two weeks. Hannah, Ryan, and their friends have a wildly drunken night. Mistakes happen and open a wild world of confusion and seduction between Hannah and Ryan. The problem? If Lacey finds out, lives will be destroyed, so they fight to stay away from each other, yet the universe keeps bringing them back together. Neither Ryan nor Hannah had ever felt an attraction to each other in the past, but now? Now the heat is turned up and feelings are at an unpredicted strength between these two. Ryan had recently turned thirty-three. Hannah is days away from twenty. Neither one of them find that to be an issue. Why would it when he's your best friend's dad? A relationship is impossible when you'd lose everything if you tried. But the two of them feel something they have never felt before when they end up in each other's beds. The heat is there. The dirty secrets are there. How do you hold a secret so huge from the people you care about most?
