Two people meet. One with a job that's not so ordinary, the other with a name that's not so ordinary. He is never home, she wants to tour the world. What will happen when their two worlds collide? 

Very Cliche. Or is it?

Everyone's life is faced with different challenges, some more strenuous than others but that shouldn't invalidate your neighbours problems. That's the thing, the closest thing to real life is the life you're living. The closest thing to you knowing what things feel like is experiencing them yourself. 

With hopes to connect to those who are exactly like them just miles and miles away, they live their life how they want--with the usual rules, of course. Them meeting each other was what the pair of them needed to change each others perspective. 

But will it work out?

"-So try it" Grayson says suddenly to Brea. "Try what?" Her eyebrow raises with intrigue. "You said you can snap your fingers and turn your feelings off... like a light switch, you said, just like that?! So, fall in love with me and then one day...just... stop. and move on," Brea was taken aback by his words, thinking there's no way he was serious. Unimpressed, she gets up to leave and laughs at him saying,"you're crazy." But as she shakes her head, on her way to the door, he grabs her arm and says,"no, I'm serious, B. If you're telling the truth that you have great communication skills and don't get clingy or jealous, then what's the worst that could happen?" She lets out nothing but honesty,"I never said I had great communication skills." "It was implied. So what do you say?" He puts his hand out for her to shake and agree on the proposal. She looks at it then joins his hand and asks,"how long?" "A year," Grayson suggests easily. She disagrees which prompts him to ask her,"how long does it take you to say you love someone?" Brea hesitates to answer, knowing she's never been in love before. "Six months, take it or leave it," they agree. With a confident smile on his face, Grayson promises Brea something, saying,"by the time this house is built, you'll be in love with me."

Due to this, he is forced to look for a suitable "pretend" partner. "Senara Lee. I'd like to offer you a deal." "Hm? A deal? What deal?" "I need a fake girlfriend and you're the only one who's trustworthy enough to assume the position. Be my girlfriend for a year and I'll make one of your books into a movie." "For real?! You bet I'm in! Anything for my babies!" (babies - she's referring to her books, yes, she calls them her babies). And so, their hilarious and catastrophic game begins. Well, at least until the "Guardians of Fate" comes in. What will they do with this romance that wasn't supposed to be?

200 parts Complete
Unrealistic Fanfiction ~ Vampires Rebecca Woods thinks that love, lust, and romance don't exist. Or, at the very least, they don't keep the same company. So when she literally bumped into a handsome guy in the middle of a parking lot, she was extremely confused about the feelings stirring inside. So were those around the man on a mission, feeling the change in him the moment their eyes met. Both determined to prove their theories of a lack of love, they'll try to push each other away and futilely ignore what the universe is telling them. Of course, it is the universe, and what the universe says, goes. ~~~~~ My body acted on its own accord now. At a painfully slow pace, I stood up from my desk and walked around it. I took the coffee from his hand, placing the cup down on a far corner of the desk before grabbing his wrist and dragging him further into my office. Just the feeling of his wrist under my finger sent a thrill through me. I slammed shut my office door then did what any sane person would do: I hugged him. And he let me. ~~~~~ "He's not a fucking blood-sucking leech like the ones you hang out with. Just because you made that mistake doesn't mean I have." #2 colbybrock 4th March 2021 This book will be very long, just to warn all you beautiful readers.

Living with a YouTuber?! by SecretNRB
46 parts Complete
This is a sequel, so read "Dating a YouTuber?!" first. I wholeheartedly loved and trusted Nate despite having known him less than a year. I had a million reasons why I shouldn't move in with him but I decided to ignore them and trust my gut feeling rather than my head. I knew people would say it was too soon and that I'd be giving up even more privacy living with a YouTuber who daily vlogged. Slowly but surely I was being wrapped in various YouTube activities and it had become a significant part of my life. I would be busier than ever when I went back to university and continued to run my now high-profile blog. It would be a challenge to juggle the pressure from the online world while attending my responsibilities, finding time for my passions and maintaining all my personal relationships. I didn't mind though. All the pieces seemed to fall into place and I was so bloody excited to see what the future would bring. *********************************************************** If you're confused, please read "Dating a YouTuber?!" first (check my profile). Blogger and photographer Abigail has agreed to move in with Nate, a.k.a. SillyNate on YouTube, and they are keeping it a secret from his YouTube audience for now. While the main characters (who are ALL fictional) still are the focus, this book will also have many cameos from real life YouTubers and draw on real events.
If only it was an Illusion! by Aafrynn
60 parts Complete
"you're no one to me", his words echoed in my ears but what was it all when he kissed me; merely an illusion? It felt so real and lively. "...and just so you know, you're not allowed to leave this job until or before 6 months", he flung the contract papers in the air. I had signed the papers, the terms and conditions clearly meant that I was supposed to work for his company and had no right to leave it until his consent. "Leave my cabin for now", he ordered as he turned behind. ********** Amanda Waters is your typical College student who happens to face a lot of financial difficulties and as a result, is made to earn a living. She's blunt, She's sensitive but she is also accompanied by two of her best friends in this story: Gina Sullivan and Francis Rutherfold. The enterprise which she works in is different, very different. In fact, the 'CEO' is not just another Happy go lucky male lead of the company. Aaron Reynolds- Rude, Arrogant, Harsh, and Stubborn. He's what they call an eccedentesiast. They say that a person who defines negative adjectives has a lot more inside them, the darkness in that person may overrule all the Positiveness. Well, with Aaron, it's hard to say. But...What if Amanda already had a face-off with 'The CEO' before working in his firm? What if she had already drawn a thick line of hate? What if egos of the same level collide? What then? True Love? More like an illusion! An illusion that poses a life threat. An illusion with the ability to make you believe in non-existent things such as; fairies, demons, fate, and even destiny! Ironic is it not? What we as humans happen to rely on.
