(Unedited) "You weren't here! You haven't been in a long time so stop trying to act like you were." Willow grew up in a house with six brothers, one of them being her twin. She's grown up in a two bedroom apartment with an alcoholic mother who never managed to pay the bills on time or even buy food, so the eldest two brother's always took the responsibility, and once they left it was passed on to the next brother. But eventually all her big brother's had left without looking back and it was just her, her twin Wes and their mother whenever she was around. They got along just fine for the next two years, they somehow managed to get through the tough times together and they thought it would stay that way, the two of them against the world. Until their mother got pregnant and they had the responsibility of raising their baby sister at the age of 11. They pulled through and it was now the three of them against the world. They believe they can get through anything and they hope that's true when suddenly the brothers who disappeared years ago start to show up looking to mend their relationship with the twins who hold a deep hatred for their older brothers. Can they fix the broken relationship with the twins and build a new one with their new baby sister? Or is it too late? --- It's better than it sounds.

What He Left Behind by zoe_grimm

This wasn't Cody Lim's first funeral. Cody Lim never imagined having to bury his younger twenty-three-year-old brother, Clarence. He thought he was through with burying family members, but the universe had dealt him a shitty hand. This time, guilt plagued him more than he thought, knowing he had willingly walked away from his brother six years ago-a relationship he could no longer rekindle even if he wanted to. When Ezra Davey had learned of his roommate Clarence's heart condition, he had begged him to reach out to his estranged brother before time ran out. Ezra had been lucky to have six great years with him, but he didn't expect he'd have to make the harrowing call that Clarence's heart had given out before either brother could reach out. Death had been the guillotine of a relationship Cody could never rekindle, but it's what Clarence left behind that makes the journey of moving on a little easier. -A Novelette- -A Gen 3 2023 entry-

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.

I'm Unwanted by Justasadhomeschooler

Raven Scott has a huge family. 13 siblings to be exact. 6 adopted, 7 not. Raven is the least favorite kid. She's the only abused child. And at school, she's the only bullied one. Tyler Short has a small family. 1 sibling, and she's in a different country. Tyler was a loved and cared for child. and he's never been bullied. Seems like they're complete opposites right? +++ "You lied." He says as he looks at me with such disappointment in his eyes. "And you believed me." I say back. I know he cares, but I can't trust anything right now. Not when my whole life is crumbling. #1 in mentally unstable- 3/8/22 #2 in Dramatic- 5/21/22 #3 in suicidal - 2/14/22 (Book 1 out of 7, I'm Unwanted) (Book 2 out of 7, I'm finally Wanted) (Book 3 out of 7, Perfectly Ourselves) (Book 4 out of 7, Not so Perfect) (Book 5 out of 7, Beautiful Crazy) (Book 6 out of 7, His Sunflower)
