Interstellar
"Why look up at the stars, when the biggest star is you?" Polaris sits as the brightest star in Ursa Minor. Everyday, while the other stars of the constellation work on making their orbit, Polaris observes the Earth, wondering what'd it be like to live as a human being and find love. One being stands out in particular to Polaris. It was love at first sight. When Polaris considers traveling down to Earth just to become a human and be with her, he sneaks away from Ursa Minor and descends to Earth. Back on Earth, Ashtynn is a bit a klutz. She acted like every other stereotypical anime girl. Ashtynn was judged a lot for this, causing her to have little to no friends in middle school. When high school came around, she changed her appearance and personality. Ashtynn basically became a delinquent--she got into fights, skipped classes, and trashed school property. Everything was going "well" until her real identity was uncovered and her life went back to the way it was before...until the star boy suddenly transfers to her school. Along with their awkward encounters and serious 'therapy sessions', Polaris and Ashtynn help each other understand what's really important.Complete
Unintended Consequences
"You just have no idea." His voice was thick with restraint. "W-what," I breathed. His gaze flicked to my lips as his thumb stroked again. The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees. I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.

The Sun And The Stars •completed•
Audrey Kepler wants to breathe, to run, to live. It should be a given, after all, a gift everyone receives at birth. The day she gets on the bus is the day she finally admits to herself that being alive and living are two separate things. And Audrey wants to live. When she meets Eli Davis, a mysterious, quiet, and timid boy, she assumes that they are opposites. But, they are more similar than she could have ever imagined. Eli wants to live, he thinks. He at least wants to taste what it's like before he decides. She was the sun; warm, bright, radiant, and full of the purest light. He was the stars; distant and scarce, yet fascinating and effervescent if you took the time to look closely enough. They seem so different at first glance, the sun and the stars, but they are just alike.Complete
Our Hill of Stars
Moving 1,370 miles away from home to take care of her grandma wasn't how Ashlyn Emerson planned on spending her summer. She knew taking care of the woman who raised her wasn't going to be an easy task. She has always been a free spirit. The kind of girl who turned her head towards the stars closed her eyes and dreamed. You'd think someone who studied the stars would know better than to wish on them. But she still gave them one simple wish: that she'd find her place in this world. Forced to grow up too fast, Eli Cormac was the sole provider for his younger brother and sister. He was making ends meet but dreamed of something greater. Something to help him find the happiness he once had. Eli looked towards the stars asking for a sign from the universe that he wasn't meant to be alone. Looking up into the night sky was comforting. It felt safe. And when Ashlyn and Eli bump into each other at the old star observatory in the middle of the night, they both take it as a sign. They were both on the right track all along. ___________________________________________ *A Summer Romance & The Wish That Changed Everything* 💙 © All Rights Reserved 2020Complete![I Loved You Blindly [Complete]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/161118475-256-k656767.jpg)
I Loved You Blindly [Complete]

Popularity, looks, friends, a hot girlfriend and a promised future in football. In one incident that resulted in a horrible accident, he lost it all. The best friend, the girlfriend, the planned future and his sight. Fighting through darkness and depression, he built high walls that kept everyone out. Skye suffered loss too, but she kept strong for the sake of her little brother, Matt. With her aunt and brother, leaving home and moving to a new place seemed like the perfect solution. A new start that they all needed. Skye's plan was to blend in and keep to herself. Well, not the easiest task when it was obvious as daylight that you were the new girl at school. Especially when she, literally, bumped into Ethan. For Ethan who has been isolating himself and absolutely independent that he pushed everyone away, and Skye being stubborn and not in-the-least shy on saying what she thought openly, fighting and bickering was unpreventable. Skye saw through the walls that Ethan has built around himself. Drawn to him, slowly, their friendship started to turn into something else.

Where Light Meets Dark
[COMPLETED ~ TO BE PUBLISHED... eventually] Sunray was the light, lonely and shining. She was a beacon of hope to the public, but quiet in her own life. To everyone else, anyway. Night was her shadow, sworn to protect her just as much as his home. He was a quiet one, to everyone else, anyway. He was the hero who would rather battle a giant than talk to strangers. They would do anything for each other, even without knowing the real person behind the masks. They were best friends, secretly in love, who didn't know each other's real names. Until they accidentally met in real life, and couldn't figure out why it felt more like déjà vu than anything else . . . ------------------------------------------------------------------- In case the intro of Chapter 2 leaves you wondering, yes, there's a prequel. It's just not out yet. XD Possible TWs: Depression, direct mentions of suicide and PTSD, anxiety attacks, brief mention of drug addiction, death [starvation], violence (typically non-graphic) (Cover art by @Avichayil4 :D) Enjoy!Complete
