In which: grief is like the ocean, it comes in waves, ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm and sometimes it's overwhelming. All you can do is learn to swim.

Or in which: Duff has never felt loneliness so crushing. Adjusting to an empty bed, an empty house, is soul sucking and heart crushing. It is a pain unlike any other. Everything he sees and hears is a reminder of what he lost. It is an anguish fueled, panic ridden, never ending nightmare.

"Should I be allowed to move on?"
"Of course you should."
"Then why can't I? Why is it so fucking hard?"
"Because love doesn't end when life does."

Amanda Carlson met Duff McKagan when she was 17. She fell in love with the tall blonde bassist from Guns N Roses at a concert GNR performed at the Troubadour. She felt that she found true love in Duff. He was not like any guy she had ever dated before. He was wild, charismatic, and sweet. For Duff, Amanda was the girl that he never thought he would find. She was not a groupie like the other girls he dated before. She was genuine, sweet, kind, and beautiful. It seemed like nothing could go wrong for the two of them. Guns N Roses were finally getting noticed with their debut album Appetite for Destruction and Amanda found her soulmate in Duff. Despite the success of Guns N Roses, Duff was finding it difficult to handle fame. He turned to drugs and alcohol so he could cope. He became addicted and Amanda could see how he was destroying himself. Promises were made and eventually those promises were broken about overcoming his addiction. Duff was fighting a losing battle with his addiction and Amanda was not planning to stick around and pick up the pieces. 3 years later, Amanda has declared that she is done with relationships. She doesn't need the emotional baggage that comes with being in a relationship and she feels that she's better off alone. That changes one night when she is sitting by herself in a nightclub and she catches the eye of Jordan Knight from New Kids On The Block. Can Jordan convince Amanda that love is possible and that not all guys are like Duff McKagan or will Amanda's pessimism about love rule her heart?

Mrs. Avery by RejectedConcepts
47 parts Complete Mature
Love is strange. It exists in many forms and is one of the key components that makes humans happy, but there isn't a lot of understanding surrounding it. At least not the kind of understanding with which the average person identifies. Agnes is one of the few people that can accept all kinds of love. Despite her dated name, she is a woman in her late 20's dealing with the death of most of her family. She's now stuck in the middle of figuring out how to raise children that she never saw in her future and deciding what love means for her, when it has to exist within layer upon layer of complication. She let go of her boyfriend after almost a decade because their love wasn't meant to exist under the strain of children, only to find herself confronted with the overpowering connection of her old high school sweetheart. The same man she ran away from because their values hardly aligned when it came to how love should be expressed long term. Within the midst of learning how to raise children and balance her ever-building career, Agnes tries to recover from her mother's death, seek comfort without complicating her circumstance, and figure out why her mother would name her Agnes. Finding real comfort starts to feel impossible, as her most available options are her ex-boyfriend and her assistant. Completed! Rejected 6 times** "This one just isn't for us." By far the most plain rejection I have ever received and I can respect it. 1/22/2022 - 1K 9/28/2022 - 10K

Book One of Five in the New Beginnings Series. **You do NOT have to read Inhale, Exhale, & Breathe to enjoy these stories** #1 in bxb tag: 09/21/2024 #4 in friendstolovers tag: 9/21/2024 CYRUS PIERCE: I'm content in my almost soundless world. I prefer to live through the romance stories I weave and post online. Hardly anyone reads my books, even if they're free, but I do have one fan, and he's supported me since I started writing two years ago. Except, my writing started to take a depressing dive when I realized that you simply couldn't prevent nor protect your heart from falling for someone. For him. For the one who had no interest in me. When I fell in love with him, I thought we had a chance. It was an accident. Turned out, I couldn't be more wrong. He doesn't want me, and I wasn't supposed to have him. It didn't matter if he showed up in the bookstore every day, talking to everyone else except me. Nor did it matter at all because he didn't know sign language. He couldn't learn. We couldn't communicate. But after I go on a date and it ends in putrid disaster, he makes his appearance known, and he's angry. Then he's doing things for me that confuse me. My stories are filling up with pages of content, dreams that I want to come true, and my mystery commenter encourages me to continue-to reach my happiness. To take what I want. But the activities planned start sparking familiarity-like I lived it before, or maybe dreamed it. Or maybe, just maybe, I'd written it before? My mind is spiraling, but I can't stop myself from getting closer and closer to him. I'm not supposed to have him, but my heart craves him. Sage Monroe, I'm in love with you, and I'm scared now because I have a feeling that you've been communicating with me in more ways than one.
