One For The Road by kennedy_trent

"Oh my god, this Corvette is so fucking sexy." I ran my hand along the peeling red paint. It wasn't in the best condition, but a Corvette was a Corvette. "Can I drive it?" "There's no engine. We used it for parts," Drake said. My heart sank into my stomach, and I let out a wheeze. "You what?" "We were running low on funds, so we did what we had to do," Josiah said. "It never meant anything to us anyway." What the fuck? "How the hell can you call yourselves a racing team if you're willing to do that to one of the best-looking cars ever made?" I shook my head. "It's disgusting." "What? Racing?" Drake's mouth fell open. "Oh my god, no. We wanted a driver." I looked over at Josiah, then Drake. "I drive cars for a living, therefore I'm a driver. What's the confusion?" "You said you drove for RTR," Josiah said. I nodded. "Yeah, Roger Truscott Racing." "Oh no. Oh my god. Look, in our line of work, that means Real Time Robotics," Drake said. "Robotics? What the fuck is going on?" I asked. "You wouldn't happen to know much about combat robotics, would you?" Drake forced a smile, and it wasn't difficult to see the hope leave his eyes. *** Katie Moore is a controversial figure in the car racing world with several strikes against her. One, she is a female. Two, she is a female with opinions. And three, she is a female with opinions who thoroughly enjoys sharing them with no inhibition. A one-track mind (with a few side streets), all she wants is to win a race to shut everyone up about her mistakes and misfortunes. But when she's down on her luck, a team of nerds finds their way into her life, giving her an offer that she probably should refuse.

180 Degrees- Completed by JessCollins022

Avery Eden- a highly restricted high school student, counting down the seconds to her freedom at college. A new state, new city, new school, new her.

And she would get to bask in their glory so soon. College had to be a dream come true. Avery was not going to let her parents destroy her final teenage year with her rules, spinning her life on it's head to make sure she could do everything she'd missed out on in high school. One childhood crush that never gets resolved, one heartbreaker boy, one waste of space. Maybe dating isn't all it was cut out to be. Follow Avery on her journey through the first few months of freedom. Maybe it'll work out. Maybe it'll end in disaster. The thing about being young is you don't know unless you try.

It's Like Thunder ⚡︎ Barry Allen by laughingrissa

Arielle Murray was hit by a wave of dark matter the same night as many other people, including Barry Allen. Not many people know he is the Flash, but as a detective at CCPD? Arielle figured it out pretty quick. Okay, okay. He told her when she confronted him, asking for help to control her own strange powers, unsure of what to do with them. With the help of Barry and the team at S.T.A.R. Labs, she is able to control them and even help people. She may have gotten herself into more than she was thinking... I do not follow the script of the CW show The Flash, and it is basically an alternate universe where Barry is still the Flash and has the team and his friends, just has different encounters with different metahumans. My characters are mine, the CW's characters are theirs. #1 in barryallen 5/21/18 #3 in flash 7/16/18 ****Cover by @-wolfsbanes****

Venom's Alliance: Loyalty's Fracture by LunarisAryson

Kalia's POV : Freedom ain't real. It's just a pretty lie people tell themselves to sleep better at night. Me? I've never been free. Not when I was born into a life where people used me like a tool. Not when I thought I escaped, only to get dragged back in. And sure as hell not now, trapped in a marriage I never wanted with a man who loves me like an addiction-obsessive, toxic, suffocating. Easton swears I belong to him. Calls me his, like I'm a possession, not a person. But I was never meant to be owned. Not by him. Not by anyone. And yet... I'm craving the one person I can't have. The one man I shouldn't want. Jay Kim. My husband's best friend. The only person who looks at me like I'm more than a pawn in someone else's game. The only man who's ever made me feel safe. But love in this world? It don't come without consequences. And choosing Jay? That'd be the kind of mistake that gets people killed. Jay's POV: I never wanted this empire. It was my uncle's before me-a kingdom built on blood, corruption, and greed. But when he fell, I had two choices: take control or let worse men have it. So I took it. And now? I'm doing what he never could. I'm fixing the mess he left behind. Cleaning up the dirt while keeping the wolves from tearing it apart. But then she came back. Kalia Gomez. The only woman who's ever made me want something outside of this life. The one I can't have-because she belongs to someone else. Not just anyone, either. Easton. My friend. My brother in arms. I should walk away. Should forget about the way she looks at me when no one's watching. Should ignore the way my pulse fucking riots every time she's close. But it's too late for that. Because I might be trying to clean up this empire... But for Kalia? I'd burn it all down.

Courtesy of her automobile pedigree the entire racing world watched on as she grew. Though the talent she possessed was obvious her travel to formula one stayed consistently debated seeing as many argued that her family connections gave her a unfair leg up, she always refused to be apologetic about her success.
