Love Comes Unexpected ✔ by prettyfangz

I quickly turned away from him, to get the hell out of the room. But he caught my arm and pulled me back into his chest. Shit. Fuck. He buried his face in my hair, arms enclosing around me and whispered into my ear, ❝I thought things between us were getting better, is this how your gonna lie and ruin it?❞ I could feel him smiling against my ears, his fingers gently raking through my hair. I didn't reply. This is exactly the situation I didn't wanna get into, cause I know I melt when he says shit like that. ❝You gonna give up resisting me now?❞ His lips barely touching my ears. My heart skipped a beat as he tightened his hold on me. ♡♥♡♥♡♥♡ SAMANTHA ROSS Beautiful. Smart. Successful. Kind. Stubborn. That's who she was. But life challenges everyone at some point, right?

I think I'm in love(Jefferson x Reader) by ccthemoth

This is my first x reader. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This fluffy fanfic is another college AU that no one wanted. You go to the same college as (B/F), Hamilton, Laurens, Mulligan, Lafayette, the Schuyler Sisters, Burr, Madison, and the one and only... Thomas Jefferson. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Teachers and Classes in Order: Washington=Debate class "King" George=Drama Club Lee=Mathematics class Seabury=History class ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *WARNING* This is meant to be for a female reader. I'm not judging. I fully support the LGBTQ+ community. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thomas was always the kind of person that would hate to be seen with a looser like you. Even if he wanted to spend every moment with you. There's something about you though. He wants you, but won't admit it to himself. You're madly in love with him, and would do anything for him. You don't want your friends to see you with someone like him. They'd think you joined the dark side. But it's not like they'll keep you from the one you love. Eliza already wants to kill you for asking Alexander out (after she told you she had a thing for him) two years ago, only to have him refuse you. So, when the man you truly love makes you think he hates you when he doesn't, what do you do? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You know the drill: (Y/N)=your name (L/N)=last name (B/F)=best friend (E/C)=eye color (H/C)=hair color (F/F)=favorite food (F/R)=favorite restaurant (F/C)=favorite color

Where there's a will there's a way, and then there's Rem. A girl who lost it all after writing a book. Her writing style persuaded different groups to think and believe different things about her beliefs. The odd way her words touched the nation brought unity, which in turn made her the most revered woman in the United States. So much so that people sought her out to be the leader of the rebellion. Just shy of her twenty-first birthday, the once crazy college student leads a group of rebels through dangerous territory in an effort to escape to safer ground, only to face mountains of hardship in between. As the rebellion turns to full civil war, Rem tries her best to hold onto the last possession of her past life that she has, while juggling the relationships she builds on her journey. War changes every participant, and that's no exception for the Rebel princess.

Red North by MythamCroft

What happens if you wake up and the world you know is gone? The country you called home is a shadow of its former self, divided and at war. Worst still, the only person you love is missing, lost in this hostile world. This is a bleak portrait of a dis-United Kingdom where North is fighting South, and the rest of the world has been turned upside down. Inspired by a dream (nightmare?) my father had when I was young, I started writing this story years ago and discovered it again recently, determined to finish it. I don't really do science fiction, so this is my first foray into the genre -- though technically speaking this is more alternative history than sci-fi. Let me know what you think!
