Imagine embarking on a blissful hike to one of the world's seven wonders while stuck with a person who wouldn't think twice about abandoning you without consequence.
•~•
Paula Montaño is rich, prim and proper, hotheaded, and very outspoken. Considering all her traits to be striking qualities of their own, one can only imagine the number of people she repels; and repels them she does, to her highest capability. Which was why the British-Latina chose to journey to Machu Picchu through a less popular route, alone, and at a not-so-reasonable time of the year.
Tikki Michaels, on the other hand, is your average nature lover and hiking expert. Venturing from one tropical and temperate zone to the other, he prefers to remain reclusive and explore on his own terms. All he wanted was to spend his week off in peace; just him, his thoughts, and nature. No loud city noises, no arrogant female bosses, no cringey neighbours, and certainly no babbling self-righteous brats.
However, in a coincidental predicament that induces more stress than calm, would they be able to stand each other for the extended period of their trip together, or will they each be their own downfall?

The Reluctant Roadtripper (A Romantic Comedy)
AMBY AWARDS TOP PICK 2024❤️ I can only see half of his face, reflected in the mirror at the front of the bus, and part of that is obscured by the peak of the black company-branded cap he's wearing. But I can see enough to glean that there's a strong jaw covered in scruff. A wide mouth that looks like it would be prone to smiling. He's wearing glasses with trendy light tortoiseshell frames, and I can't quite discern the colour of his eyes from my position . . . but some weird intuition is telling me that they'll be hazel, and I wonder when my brain is going to catch up. Because I *know* him, don't I? I'm almost certain of it. And he seems to know me, too. Or at least he thinks he does. The way he's glancing over at me lets me in on that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mirren Shepherd has *many* pet peeves. Top of the list, though? Staycations . . . And surprises. So when her girls' trip abroad is cancelled at the last minute and she finds herself roped into a minibus tour of Northern Scotland instead, she isn't remotely happy. And when she finds out who their guide is . . . It's yet another reason for her to dislike surprises. Because Owen Sullivan wasn't so much the one who got away . . . He was the one who just didn't return. And, after she finally got over him, she never expected to see him again. Mirren would prefer to leave the past in the past, but Owen is determined to try to right his wrongs. Can she trust him? Can she trust *herself*? Maybe, just maybe, this surprise - and staycation - won't be as bad as Mirren thinks . . . ~~~~~~~~~~~~Concluida
Perfect Collision
Elena Benton is every bit of what you would call a poster child. Raised with a pastor as a father and a loving mother she had everything a girl could dream of. She was a golden child; the kind of girl that volunteered at the church and community center, not because she had too but out of the goodness of her heart. She worked hard and studied even harder to fulfill her lifetime dream of becoming a successful accountant; she didn't waste time with partying or boyfriends but instead engulfed herself in her studies and work. She has never even had so much as a real kiss, just a one time New Years peck at the one party she went to all throughout college. To put it plain and simple she was every parents dream of the perfect daughter. When her father lands her an interning job at a multi-billion dollar company she thinks that she is on the path to success but everything changes the day she runs into Mikko; a coffee spilling man that looks like the master creation of God himself. Meet Mikko, an extremely wealthy and need I say handsome playboy. The kind of man that has women falling at his feet practically begging for a chance to get him in bed; the type of guy that can have anything or anyone he wants with a simple snap of his fingers or a sexy little smile. A man that thought he would never have a serious relationship with any woman let alone a human one; being a werewolf his life revolved around keeping tabs on his pack and women in his bed. What happens when these two polar opposites meet and start feeling sparks between them? Even more what happens when life throws them a curveball and they both end up in situations they never imagined being in? Will they be able to work through their problems and differences or will they head in different directions trying to avoid the feelings that pulled them together in the first place?Concluida
The Backpacker's Dream
'No, he didn't'. I was so shocked by the turn of events. Everything was going fine and then suddenly boom, everything turned upside down. I just couldn't believe this. What did he think of himself? 'Leave me alone.' I said firmly but his hold on me was so strong. I was struggling to get out of his bear hold but to no avail. 'Oh!! So, the poor lady thinks that I will leave her alone and just let her go free?' He had that evil laugh and boy, his breath stank. 'Man, you just signed your death warrant and I will do one favour on you.' No one messes with me. 'Ooooh, I am so scared that I almost peed my pants.' Again that idiotic laugh. I counted till 5 and then kicked right in his balls. I turned around and grabbed his hair from roots, jerked them so badly and then gave my hard elbow shot on his chin. Everything happened so fast for one moment he was standing and the other lying on floor wiggling. I charged at him with my cheetah speed, picked up a wooden rod and started hitting him wildly, 'You idiotic stinky breath was trying to steal my backpack. You are so dead.' 'Favour, favour, favour.' He was screaming in pain just after few seconds and was panting hard. I picked my paste from my bag and threw at him, 'Brush your teeth.' I was fuming. I turned around and saw him standing wide-eyed, 'Hi, I am Scarlett.' I smiled showing my 32 teeth. 'I am scared.' His look puzzled me.

The Secret at Sunset
A long weekend in Cabos San Lucas sounds like a dream to most, but not Alexa Cale. Three days of peace and quiet and an empty apartment was ideal until her roommates convinced her to join them on their getaway. Less than an hour after checking in at the beautiful destination, Alexa is bored of the quality-girl-time, oozing with gossip, giggles, and guy talk-something she can't quite participate in due to her poor luck of finding a decent man. With one good excuse, she buys herself some time away from the agonizing conversations in exchange for a chance to venture out for some peaceful serenity along the scenic shore. Lover's Beach, a literal tourist trap, is the quick trek Alexa chooses, despite a warning from the gorgeous hotel concierge. Alexa was too preoccupied by the man's mesmerizing eyes to catch much of what was said. Moments into Alexa's solo excursion, she learns why the hike might not be as easy as it appears on the map she took from the charming man. The tide moves in fast and swallows the path back to the main beach, standing Sienna without a way to return to the hotel. As the waves thrash against the rocks, it's clear she's stuck, and without an idea of how long it will be before the path returns. Lincoln Holt, the man-candy concierge who advised Alexa to avoid the excursion alone is no stranger to the unique beach, and follows her to the inlet as the tide washes the sand away. She may be stranded, but she won't be alone. One with a passion for sleeping in or reading under blankets, and the other with a desire for adventure, these two will not find common ground easily, especially when sparks begin to fly.Concluida

#1 hiccupxreader Warning: LEMON, also, following this story will put you in major FEELS! I didn't change Hiccup or Toothless's personally btw:) summary- You knew Hiccup since you were children.
