The Pink Floyd Household
What would happen if Pink Floyd all lived under the same roof? Nothing good. This is just a collection of pointless stories that I came up with. There's no real character development and whatnot-just some writing blurbs exploring creative writing...no specific time period...I guess this is an AU I don't care Also, sorry the cover doesn't include David Gilmour! (He's in this) but the pictures weren't at the right scale.Complete
The Book of Love
A glimpse into Marta and Finas future, beginning with 1969. #Mafin Fanfiction Each chapter will describe a different year. Each chapter is basically closed in itself, it's almost a kind of "one shot collection", but the chapters still build on each other and follow each other. (Un vistazo al futuro de Marta y Finas, empezando por 1969. Cada capítulo describe un año diferente. Cada capítulo está básicamente cerrado en sí mismo, es casi una especie de «colección de una sola toma», pero los capítulos siguen construyéndose unos sobre otros y se suceden.) Since I, like everyone else, have no idea what to expect from the authors, I take a lot of liberties with these excursions when it comes to the characters and the further course of the story - I ask you to bear this in mind and, if necessary, to kindly ignore it if some things turn out to be untrue in the coming turns. I also assumed that Marta's year of birth was 1919. And that Fina is 12 years younger. That may not be fact either - lo siento. I hope you will enjoy reading it and I would be very happy to receive feedback. You are also welcome to suggest years or events. The song "The Book of Love" by Peter Gabriel inspired me to a great extent. If you don't know this song (I would hardly believe that), you should definitely fill this gap in your knowledge. "The book of love is long and boring No one can lift the damn thing It's full of charts and facts, and figures And instructions for dancing (...) The book of love is long and boring And written very long ago It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes And things we're all too young to know"Complete
Rose Fragrance | Lady Dimitrescu x Female Reader
"My, my, Your blood is quite...special." The Lady walks around the room. "...I might keep you alive for a little longer~" She says, now with a seductive voice. I kept my poker-face but on the inside I was blushing furiously because of her voice, it made me feel weird. She takes a smoke from her pipe and breathes out.

[Just Like] Starting Over│Beatles/John Lennon FanFiction
Hamburg, 1960. Willa and Elsie March are on the run, and they find safety at the Bambi Kino in the red light district of Hamburg with five cocky, sometimes maddening, usually drunk, and bloody talented boys--the Beatles. Willa has never met anyone quite like John Lennon. He's everything she didn't know she'd been missing. "I thought about John, about our interactions and our late-night chats. He was without a doubt intense, and most definitely moody. He made me feel so many things--confused, annoyed, relieved, comfortable, content, and bloody irritated--but not nervous." And there's more to Elsie's relationship with Paul McCartney than she's willing to admit. This is their story, full of trust, betrayal, secrets, love, lies, hope...and the Beatles. *** Achievements 🏆2025 Grand Winner - Fanfiction Category (The Nano Watt Awards) 🏆2025 Amby Awards Winner - Favorite *** •Part One: 1960 (Chp 0 - Chp 17) Started: March 5, 2023 Completed: June 27, 2023 •Part Two: 1961 (Chp 18 - Chp 36) Started: Sept 24, 2023 Completed: June 16, 2024 •Part Three: 1962 (Chp 37 - Chp 53) Started: Sept 29, 2024 Completed: March 23, 2025 *** Thank you so much to the amazing @strange_daisies for creating the cover! *** [Just Like] Starting Over is a work of fiction.

sad, beautiful, tragic // j.r.b
~some things you just can't speak about.~ // hazel eloise finley's old english and frankly quite pretentious name was never released to public whenever she survived the shooting at her high school. not even after the paramedics took her away with a severe bullet wound to the calf or even whenever she drug and hopped herself outside for medical attention afterwards either. only known as the jane doe that survived a school shooting, and the years of physical therapy, permanent nerve damage and chronic pain proved to be the least of her worries. it took years of therapy, hospitalizations, and prescriptions for her to even feel ready to start college after high school. and whenever she did, much like her name, she was determined to bury it. despite the trauma she went on to become one of the most gifted music majors enrolled at the prestigious university in Nashville, TN, an honors student, a residential advisor, and slowly making her way to the student council someday. Though just coming into her sophomore year, a heavily tattooed literature major transfers into the room across from hers that throws everything off track. Julien Rose Baker infuriated her at first, not only because her friends and roommates were loud and obnoxious and stayed up all hours of the night playing loud music and probably doing anything but studying, but because she was better than her, in every sense of the word. sight reading music without missing a beat or a note, shredding her guitar in nearly every practice room, leaving most professors in awe of her vocal range, and not to mention the writings of hers read during some of the english classes the two shared. it was jealousy at its finest. though whenever an unexpected turn of events leaves hazel almost having no choice but to be vulnerable, something else besides avoiding her dorm neighbor might turn into something else. ~ TW for gun violence, ptsd, anxiety, depression, etc...Complete
