Yours Truly, Ramona by _nicolemiller

Life doesn't abide by the rules of a child. Sixteen-year-old Ramona knows this. She's seen it throughout her entire life, from the way she was treated by her birth parents to the way she was thrown around the foster system with nothing but her little brother, Mason, to hold onto. Every bruised cheek and broken bone has slowly shattered Ramona's trust in the system and any foster parent she's ever met. In the end, it's only Mason she can trust. Her life is dedicated to making his better, and focused solely on sheltering him from the pain of feeling as lonely as she is. That is, until Ramona gets news one day that may just uproot everything she's ever believed about her and Mason's situation. Everything is about change for Mason, all because of a man named Owen Parker. He wants to take the only thing that Ramona has ever truly loved. He wants to adopt her brother, and there is nothing she can do to stop him. Though after years of running and years of pain, Ramona knows just how badly Mason needs a home. It's a breath of fresh air for him, a family filled with love, and everything that Mason has never had. But then, what about Ramona? She's brotherless, parentless, and alone in a city that has never cared about her. She has to find a way to cope, and she has to find a way to forgive the man who took her little boy from her. But she can't cope, she can't forgive, and she can only bend so many times before she breaks. - - Warning: This story deals with mature content that may be difficult for some to read, such as self-harm, suicide, drug use, abuse, depression, anxiety, and sexual harassment. - - Highest Ranks: |#1| - adopted |#1| - fosterkid |#1| - fostercare |#1| - foster |#1| - suicideawareness |#1| - recovery |#1| - comingofage |#1| - mentalillness |#1| - strength |#2| - adoption

Where It Ends by ellesdiary

If there's anything Evie Barrett has learned in her sixteen years of living, it's that there's a lot more to family than blood. She's stuck by that fact since the day her mother turned her back on her so many years ago, suddenly sharing nothing more than the same green eyes and a last name. While Evie didn't have her biological relatives, she filled the gap her mother left with people that she'd die for in a heartbeat. It was far from conventional but perfect to her ⎯ she wouldn't have had it any other way. That is, until she gets told that her mother is dead, and that she's going to be sent to live with her seven long lost brothers. Evie's definition of family is about to be turned upside down. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ highest rankings: #1 in recovering, 12/3/22 #2 in innerdemons, 5/10/23 #3 in brokenfamily, 3/4/22 #5 in hurt, 10/4/23 #5 in rebel, 4/7/24 #11 in foundfamily, 9/9/24 #14 in trauma, 10/23/23 #31 in mental health, 3/4/23 tysm for all the support, hope you enjoy! - elle.
