This is for TFiOS. A short story inspired by the book.
I hope John Green reads it someday.

Peacock is a brunette braider. Mostly she scribbles, looks around and leaves a note. A flightless bird searching for wings. She is reading her late Grandmother's diary.
Flick is a curious boy with curious blue eyes. He looks at the girl on the bench scribbling something and gets curious. He likes to flick a smile.
Together Peacock and Flick go through the pages of an old blue notebook and fall in love along the edge of word and relive the lives of those they read about.
Its more than just a love story, it's more about how the world has the same pace, the same casualties, the same white roses, the same curious minds, the same heartbeat accelerating adventures even when time is not the same. It's more about how people can be so much same without even being same. It's love a little backwards and love a little forward. It's less than a love story and more a self discovery coming of age short story.

MY NOTE: steal it, i'll burn down your house and build a library. No kidding. If it wasn't illegal. 
*you'll be the next character in my book to die... slowly... and ruthlessly*

Chemistry Matters! TMNT 2012 Donnie x Fem!Reader by flowersbabygirlluv
11 parts Ongoing Mature
Dear Diary, Me and April are finally starting to hangout again! You see what happened was: I was hanging out on the rooftop of my apartment building when these men came and tried to kidnap me. I fought as hard as I could but I accidentally fell off the rooftop. However this green dude with a purple bandana saved me! He gently brought me to the ground and checked to see if I had any injuries. While he was checking, I saw April on the rooftop with some other green dudes and she was fighting off those weird men! Eventually they disappeared and the whole group came down to me and the purple guy. She apologized to me for not keeping in contact for the entire year. She said she's been training to be a fighter with the help of her friends, which are apparently mutant turtles. They all introduced each other, red is raph, blue is leo, orange is Mikey, and purple is 𝒟ℴ𝓃𝓃𝒶𝓉ℯ𝓁𝓁ℴ I don't know what it is about that guy but.... I think I might have a crush on him, or at the very least it's limerance. I mean the guy saved me so it's probably just infatuation because of that. Anyway, April said that tomorrow she's gonna take me to the turtles lair so we'll see how that goes! Maybe I can even become friends with them! Especially 𝒟ℴ𝓃𝓃𝒶𝓉ℯ𝓁𝓁ℴ..... TW: This is gonna be a pretty angsty story and it will have sad themes such as parental loss, grief, unrequited love (which gets requited...eventually), and obsession (but not too much) I'll post warnings at the beginnings of chapters for some of these themes but I hope you enjoy! Edit: I'm marking the story as mature for the time being just because of the themes I have written above. There will be no smut in this story or super graphic violence

⚡caution : this isn't a story of happily-ever-after love & heartwarming romance. this is a story of heartbreak. ⚡ all the graphics in this book are made by me!! the pictures, although, are taken from pinterest and belong to their rightful owners. ⚡ attention : this is a very unedited piece of work!!! i'll edit it someday in 2023, though, don't worry. ⚡please note that this book is exclusive to only wattpad for now, so if you see it somewhere else, please inform me! • ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ • Not all love is meant to last. • ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ • Elaine Black doesn't wear her heart out on her sleeve. Or so had she thought until she collided with the cheeky green-eyed boy, Kayden Lawson, who had the most charming tricks up his sleeve - tricks just smooth enough to make Elaine realise, that maybe, indeed, she did wear her heart out on her sleeve. Maybe, for a few late night talks, stolen glances and shy flirty exchanges - Elaine was completely willing to change everything about herself - to fit in. To make Kayden keep looking at her. But unfortunately, every person does not know how to keep care of another's heart, and often end up breaking them. And spoiler alert, Kayden turned out to be one of them. Too bad that even after her heart was abandoned, Elaine's heart kept singing Kayden's name like a long-forgotten song. Too bad that, undoubtedly, heartbreak weather had come. • ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ • unedited. ©2022 to Aishi Mitra @aishixwrites.
The Unexpected Bloody Love by lonelymoon279

Best ranking in, #1 in oceanblueeyes #1 in mexicanmafia #1 in miamor As the dimly lit room cast eerie shadows across the table, I snatch a sleek black pistol from the table, its weight reassuringly firm in my grip. With a devilish grin, I point it squarely at Aiden's forehead. "You told me coming here would be risky for me, "I taunted, my voice dripping with confidence, "but guess what, Aiden, I am the danger myself." In response, he swiftly retrieves a gun, his movements precise and unwavering. He levels it at my forehead, not even a trace of hesitation in his eyes. The room crackles with tension as the two loaded guns lock onto each other, the standoff reaching its climax. The room seemed to hold its breath as shadows danced ominously on the walls, and the outside world remained oblivious to the high-stakes showdown within these walls. ♡♡♡ Amelia Wilson, who is 17 years old, is a simple, cute, and funny girl. She is broken from the inside but does not show it to anyone. She hides all her sadness using her jokes. Her belief in love has been shaken for some reason. To her, love only brings pain. During Amelia's senior year in high school, she meets a kind-hearted and charming boy named Aiden, who is 18 years old, whose intention was to use Amelia to fulfill his desire for becoming the mafia king, but God had other plans for them. As a result, Aiden ends up falling in love with Amelia. The plant that Aiden planted in her heart, called 'LOVE,' died a long time ago. What will happen when he waters it again? Will she let him do that or continue to resent him until the end of her life because he made her life more miserable? To find out why Aiden used Amelia to fulfill his desire and how Aiden will succeed in watering the plant called love, you should start reading the book, "The Unexpected Bloody Love". *The book is not edited, so read at your own risk.*

''I'd sell my own bones for sapphire stones 'cause blue is your favorite color.'' -Cavetown~ Meteor Shower Gally and Venus's relationship is built off of bickering and sarcasm. They're complete opposites. She's the sun and he's the moon. He hates dogs and she loves them. He's grumpy and she's sunshine. She can write a poem and he can't. Maybe opposites do attract... Venus- Roman Goddess of love and beauty, the brightest planet in the solar system DISCLAIMER I do not own any of the characters except for Venus. The rest of the characters and storyline belong to the amazing James Dashner and Wess Ball TW INCLUDES ~Underage drinking ~Cursing ~Death -Mentions of abuse The cover picture is also not mine, so credits to the creator of it because it's absolutely stunning Feel free to leave comments because I love reading and replying to them. It literally makes my day. Wattpad also has some of the funniest comment sections ever, so I love seeing what people have to say about my story🤣 I'm also aware that this story is extremely long, but I really wanted to make this kind of a slow-burn and also take time to build Gally and Venus's relationship rather than just jumping right in. I also really wanted to show their dynamic and give them a bit of a backstory. I know it's a long book, but I really hope it's worth the read because it's definitely worth writing! I wanna give a quick thank you to the people who chose to read this book! You guys are amazing and I couldn't be more grateful!

Being the only girl in the Glade is hard for Y/N. She works in the kitchen, does the laundry, and hates both. To make matters worse, Gally never passes up an opportunity to antagonize her. Thankfully, she has her best friend Newt to support her and keep her away from Gally. But one fateful night changes everything, and Y/N may never be able to look at Newt the same again. *btw this is a CLEAN story, but fyi "clean" doesn't mean boring, it just means not dirty, so please don't ignore this story on account of that* This is my first story on Wattpad, but not my first TMR fanfic and certainly not my first story. I've been writing since I can remember and I am currently 17. Writer's block is so annoying, and proofreading isn't my favorite thing, so hopefully neither of those mess this up too much😬😅 ENJOY!!!!!❤️ **DISCLAIMER: I do not own TMR, its setting, its general idea, or its characters; the plot and Y/N's character are the only things that are mine**
