When Riley was 13, she came out to her single mother as trans. Her mom was a bit aloof about it all but tried to understand. Suddenly, age 14, she mysteriously died in her room. She looks like she has had bruises on her neck. No entry point was found, but right there was a cup half empty with bleach. A look at what else is on the coffee table, is her will. It says she leaves her money to her... daughter? Riley is confused for a bit. She doesn't have a sister. Unless, it was her. She was finally gendered correctly. It doesn't say Richard or Richie like it would. It says Riley. While this news is good, it doesn't distract her from her mom. She left a bow in the will as well. The rest of the will says things about never letting anyone call her a he. Never. How will she find the cause of her mother's death while struggling against the world as a transgender girl in a suburban Pennsylvania town and school?

In Just A Week // Trans Klance Fic
Their faces forever burned in his mind. Just as burned as the old country house he used to live in. His parents. The smoke. The Smoke. The Fire. That Damn Fire. The roof of their old farmhouse collapsing, closing off the exit. Their faces, burning, melting in the flames. He would never forget the image of their skin slowly melting off their faces. Horror in their eyes. There was one thing that Keith didn't understand. He never saw his parents when they died. All of it was in his head. His nightmares. <><><><> Keith Kogane, or Kathrine Kogane as his birth certificate says, is a trans-boy orphan who has gone from house to house, being rejected by all his families. He assumes this one is no different, but what he doesn't know is that this family is (What any family should be like) accepting of his choices. (Ok. I get it, I'm not very good at summaries and such but yeah...don't judge it by the summary. It's a lot better than it sounds ok) Warning. This is a mature story. There is a lot of fluff. And strong language. And depression. You have been warned. If you have a problem with gay, transgender, suicidal thoughts then don't read this book. Also, I am a shitty writer, a lot of this is based on other books I've read. There's a shit ton of stuff I got ideas from in my reading lists So go check those out. So yeah...enjoy my shitty writing. I've warned you. Please keep the comments nice, unless it is CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM! Saying 'You suck' is not constructive. Written by: Me duh I had some help with some information on transgender people and some other stuff, @StormOrSkyBreakDown so not all of this is mine :) Also, the editing isn't completely done so when it is I'll be sure to change this message right here ;) Update on that last line, it's been two years and the editing is done. Not sure why I didn't change that but I guess I'll leave it in.Complete

" You only truly miss someone when they are gone. And sometimes, it's hard to let go. But you have to let him go..." It is hard when your loved one is gone. But for Riley, it was something different. In a sick sort of way, she loved it-reminiscing about Leo, literally drowning in the memories of him. And it isn't long till Riley does drown herself among those gray memories, shutting and shunning the world forever, in a place too far to reach. She is already so gone, that every one of her friends and family are very close to giving up, and on each tick of the clock Riley is close to letting go. Will a curious stranger's words save her, or will Riley try to save herself? *If you read the summary, and decided that it is some sort of typical clichè , I'd like to tell you that this is NOT a cliche 'damsel-in-distress-saved-by-a-knight-in-shining-armour' story at all. You won't find anything such as that, as the tags suggests too. But yes, there will be few moments of cliche.* •Warning• : Things about suicide, self-harm, depression; contains kissing and cuss words-so read at your own risk And also, even though it's edited, it still can have few mistakes. So sorry for those errors! Cover by me! Trailer by carpe-di3mComplete

Perfect Fate ✔ (Moved To Inkitt)
Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book. It shows you how they both work on changing for the better, while trying to overcome the obstacles in their relationship and fight for each other till the end. ** Warning!!
