Locked up in a tower comprising of her fears, sorrows and her broken past, Ivy Rivers doesn't know how to escape. Even worse, she doesn't know if she wants to.
Twenty-three minutes.
Twenty-three minutes was all it took for a troubled kid to blow up the school she'd grown to love.
Twenty-three minutes was all it took for her to lose the ones she loved the most.
Twenty-three minutes was all it took for her to succumb to the depression and anxiety that threatened to vanquish her existence.
Diagnosed with agoraphobia, Ivy Rivers hasn't stepped out of her house in over six months. Even the thought of going back into the world sends shivers up her spine. But when Ivy starts receiving letters from the boy who was the reason her world fell apart, she starts uncovering mysteries she didn't know existed. She realizes the world doesn't know the full truth about what happened that day.
With the help of her next-door-neighbor, Flynn, can Ivy conquer her fears and move on from her past? They say that the higher the tower is built, the harder the fall. Can she make it out on time?
In this retelling of the beloved fairytale, Rapunzel, join Ivy as she learns to embrace her weaknesses and fight her fears, as well as piece together what really happened that day.
Rapunzel tells us one thing about life. Climbing the tower becomes less difficult if someone at the end gives you reason to hold on.

The Bad Boy Saved Me
Do you ever wonder what life would be like if it were a movie? Or some sappy romance novel that you wish your life could be like but it's not? Sometimes you may even get to caught up in the fictional world that you don't realise it IS fictional. Then when you do realise life isn't what you convinced yourself it would be, there is only one possible outcome. Depression. Which may lead to anxiety, self-harm, low self esteem, and worst of all, losing the people you love. Life works in weird ways. Not just for you but for others too. Take Cassidy Rivers for example. Her life is far from perfect. No parents, over protective big brother, few friends, and Asher Norman, the bad boy who won't stop picking on her. Could life get any worse for Cassidy?Complete

Hate Me | Once Upon a Time
"Do you ever see someone and think wow, God must hate me?" Rapunzel never expected to leave the tower. She never knew anything else. Mother Gothel kept her hidden, and the world beyond was a mystery-one she was told she didn't belong in. Then, Flynn Rider crashes into her life. A thief. A liar. And someone who doesn't belong in her world. But when he hides in her tower, everything changes. „ I don't know why I'm even doing this," Flynn mutters, glancing over his shoulder. "But I can't just leave you here." "I don't belong out there," Rapunzel replies, her voice trembling. "I've never belonged anywhere." Just when they think they've found their way, the curse strikes. And suddenly, everything they knew-and everything they thought they wanted-feels like a lie. season 1 - season 7 fem!oc x male!oc
Every Day in May (grand prize winner) ✔
***WINNER of the "BREATHTAKING: A FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL WRITING COMPETITION!" "You are a secret kept from the world, but not from me." So begins the peculiar message found slipped under a bedroom door on the morning of May first. Theo is the heir to a powerful dictatorship. The number of people allowed to know he exists is few. He has spent his entire life walled up in the Tower, the looming stone monolith from which his father rules over the Land. Merryn is the daughter of political prisoners. She's known who Theo is longer than he would think possible, and she is taking a great risk contacting him via handwritten notes in order to convince him he deserves more than the fate his father has designed for him. She has one month to exchange daily messages with him, to answer his questions and open his eyes to the realities of a world he has never been allowed to see. A revolution is coming to the Land at the end of the month, and if Merryn's notes fail to get their point across, Theo may never live to see the sunrise on June first. A/N: The following letters were originally published each day from May 1st-31st, 2014. As you will see,Theo is allowed to write down a question for Merryn each evening, but you, the reader, won't see these within the body of the story. It may or may not be obvious from Merryn's response what Theo is asking. Part of the fun is guessing what his questions might be, but if you really want to know what they are, a list of those questions is at the end of the story. This story is a re-imagining of Rapunzel. Now, without further ado-I believe a young heir is about to unfold a slip of paper found on the tile floor near his door... Let's see what it says!Complete
