What if our knight in shining Armani fell for a plebe?  The last thing Ella Vazquez wanted when she pursued a career in journalism was to be one of those writers churning out crappy Lifestyle articles about the lives of the socially elite. But this is the real world and sometime the last things we wanted lead us... maybe... to the things we really need. Set a few years after the show's finale, mostly in-keeping with canon.*
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters of Gossip Girl! I also make reference to a few real life people/ other fictional works and I don't own them either. I would also like to credit Dr Holland over on Fanfiction.net, because her Clair de Lune series is what inspired me to finish this story. The cover photo is from the following link: simplicity&sincerity on tumblr.

*I tried a writing style that I haven't seen used in a lot of fanfiction. Usually, you get first person (writing from the  main character's perspective, e.g. "I walked my dog...") Or you get third person limited (there's a narrator but the perspective is limited to a specific character for the entire story or chapter). My last story, Bartender in Charming was in third person limited, for example, with some sections in first person because I was awful about consistency. This story is written in third person omniscient, which basically means I'm going to be jumping around between characters perspectives at will and without labeling. If at any point it becomes unclear or hard to read, please leave me comments and I'll try to fix it!

Stole My Heart 💕 by honeyvsbunny
12 parts Complete
I could hear her footsteps running behind me; so I intentionally made long steps. When I stopped and turned around she bumped into my chest and about to fall. Suddenly I urged myself to breakdown her fall. But she closed her eyes and got ready to take the fall; she looked like a baby in fear, it's kind of cute.I grabbed her with my arms around her slimy waist and her little hand too. She fits right into my arms. My heart skipped a bit when she opened her eyes and looked at me. Her eyes went wide when it captured mine. Her eyes sure have some magnetic power. I can't take my eyes away from her. We both are too close; that I could feel her breath. When reality hits I slowly made her stand on her own and moved back. I threw the book at her. She looked at me with confusion. I showed my anger at her for acting like an innocent person. I know the reason for my anger is that she disappointed me when I thought that she was different. But to my surprise the one who left the book at car was Hanna. I can't make myself to say sorry to some idiotic random girl. So just walked back when I suddenly heard someone calling me by my name. "Nicholas" she yelled. I turned around to see the same small girl standing there. How dare she call me by my name? She gave me a grin with her hand folded to her chest. She tries to act like tough girl but it's too cute to watch. So I just stood there. But she went out off limits and questioned me if I like her? Me? Like? Her? No way ! Here comes our protagonist Candice called Candy - Chatter box but cute and friendly to everyone. No one could hate her except Nick. Nicholas called Nick- Handsome but arrogant, college senior who thinks the earth revolve around him. How do these two opposite poles have them attracted????
Fighting for Rose by whitetigerpaw
43 parts Complete Mature
-Blake- Rose stands not too far in front of the ring looking at me, her face is pale and my gut twists in ways it never has. She shouldn't be here, why the hell is she here? My hands drop to my side, the victorious feeling once flowing through me is replaced with one of dread. She saw me fighting. ------- -Rose- "Alright. Time for you to go." He says. I feel the pull on my arm as he tries to take me away but my feet feel like they are glued to the ground as I continue to look at Blake. He has a little smirk on his face as he looks over the crowd. A look so completely different than any of the ones I saw the other day. Then our eyes meet, and his smirk drops. He drops his hands that were just held high in victory and looks at me like he's seeing a ghost. The guard pulls harder on my arm and I go flying back into his chest. "Listen here, I don't want to manhandle you, so do as I fucking say. Move." He growls as he pushes me into the crowd of celebrating people. I do what he says and start walking towards the exit, but I look over my shoulder one last time before I'm too far in the crowd to see anything. Blake's hands are fisted by his side and his face is red with anger, his eyes are focused on the hands that are on me pushing me away from him. ----- I am the original owner of this book, please do not copy. Strong language and themes of abuse, mental illness and violence. I don't own any of the pictures used in this story. #1 in alone 11/23/21 #1 in strong 11/30/21 #2 in boxing 4/19/22 #1 in goodgirl 5/8/22 #1 in fighting 5/19/22

{Completed - #12 highest} I was walking on a path all alone at midnight. I was just wondering around, until I saw a guy in a hoodie. He was beating the pulp out of another guy and one more man was on the ground, he was not moving. I gasped. 'Is he dead?' Or he can be unconscious, yeah 'el' he is just unconscious not dead. Duh! Who would kill a guy? As I was proceeding with my thoughts, that hoodie guy turned his face towards me. My heart had a mini heart attack. I turned my heels to the opposite direction and started to run. 'Run Ella, run for your life' was what my mind was screaming to me. I took turns without thinking, that guy was now following me and guess what? I took a wrong turn and which ended up being a dead end ' You are so dead' I thought. So, I started to think what I said last time to the people I love. 'Good night mom, love you.' to my mom, 'Stop annoying me! I'm going to bed.' to dad which also mean I love you, 'See you later Lu, love you!' to Luana. Okay my good bye says I love them all. Now I can die in peace. Granddad I'll meet you soon in the heaven, if you are there. I was still in my deep thoughts until I saw his silhouette. As, he get closer, my heart begin to race faster. I closed my eyes, until I heard him say "Ella?" O to the M to the G, this person actually knows me. I opened my one eye and saw him due to the small light hanging in that ally "Errrrr'ick!" I squeaked and mentally face palmed myself. Even at this state I'm calling him Errr'ick. "I'm sorry your highness, what can I do for you?" I squeaked again while trembling. The next second I heard his fits of laughter. He was rolling on the floor, actually rofling. I was glaring at him but I realised that I'm not in a position to glare. So, I made puppy dog face for him to spare my little life. He stopped but after seeing my face, he started to laugh again. He tried to say between his guffaws "You..... your face .....was epiccc!" He started to gasp for air and had tears in his eyes.

Mischief in Starling [Stackson] by x3_mel_x3
30 parts Complete Mature
Stiles is done. He can't take being in Beacon Hills anymore. At every turn, new chaos awaits. On every street corner he is reminded of all the pain, all the loss he had to go through. He feels guilty whenever he sees the hurt on Scott's face and he knows, he's thinking of Allison. They say none of it was his fault, but Stiles can see the truth in their eyes. They blame him almost as much as he blames himself. It's tearing him apart and every minute longer in that godforsaken town weighs heavier on his heart. Come the next pack meeting and he knows, he is done. Deciding that Jackson had the right idea in going as far away as possible, he packs his things and moves to a cute little apartment in Starling City. It's not a carefree town by any meens, but here, an entirely different group of people is there to protect the town. For once, it's not Stiles' job to save anyone and at last he can breathe again. That is until a mysterious force starts to bubble up inside him and he finds himself confronted with a whole new understanding of himself. One attack on his life later and he finds himself face to face with blue eyes that he never thought he'd see again. Of course he would never admit that even covered by a mask, only the eyes visible, Stiles would know that face anywhere. Hello, pups. This story won't actually have a big bad. It's mostly fluff and relationships. The focus is solely on Stackson and their evolution. Of course there will be some fighting, considering we're following a group of vigilantes. Other than that we mostly have some emotional conflict. I hope you enjoy :) G'night, pups.

*Spanish version available to read at @daydreamer_byv profile* 1 Manhattan, the fabulous city in New York where you'll find: the hottest new trends, the best parties, and the wealthiest people. Manhattan may sound like a dream come true but when you stay too long it's a nightmare. The hottest new trends aren't so hot, the best parties turn into horrible photos of that night, and the wealthiest people turn into your enemies. Being the new girl in Manhattan was fun at first until I met Blair Waldorf, the alleged Queen B. I was introduced to Gossip Girl, the blog where everything bad goes. Nate Archibald needed a friend, Serena van der Woodsen showed me the ways of living in Manhattan, Dan Humphrey was the person who helped me, Chuck Bass um well he's Chuck Bass, then there's Logan Devenport. We all know being the hottest blast on Gossip Girl isn't because it's a notable and pretty thing but an embarrassing and the worst thing ever. People in Manhattan crave the juiciest gossip. Their entertainment is knowing everything about us especially when we're dying of embarrassment. I was New Girl Lena Collier from San Diego who everyone was curious to know about. Now I'm just Lena, another typical elite in Manhattan. If you're ever in Manhattan here's a tip, stay low and try not to be on gossip girl's radar. Once you're on her blog, you can never come off. My story will tell you all. {Disclaimer: All credit goes to Cecily von Ziegesar except my characters and some unfamiliar plots} Another note: This is not necessarily a Nate fanfic, sorry for the inconvenience.
