I'll Be Your Mirror by lonley_july

"Stan frowned contemplatively. Like he often did, he reflected on how every choice in his life seemed to lead, somehow, to Richie. Be it for better (rarely) or for worse (mostly), he could never say no to Trashmouth. His parents always warned him about peer pressure, but giving in to Richie Tozier never felt quite like that. No, it was more like he actually said yes to Richie because he wanted to say yes." Or, Stanley Uris, much to his own chagrin, allows his best friend Richard Tozier to talk him into something stupid. The idea? "Kissing practice" between two platonic friends in an effort to get some objective, real-life technical experience. Problem is, Stan ends up liking it way more than he ever thought he would. Things quickly spiral from there. -not written by me, originally on ao3. by "SeemsRatherSketchy"-

The Deal by TheSophiShow

(Seven years ago) (Sean) "I will help you with your debts if you do something in return for me." (Skylar) "You can't help me... In case you haven't noticed I'm swimming in debts." (Sean) "I am very much aware of your debts. I'm not saying that I will pay all of them but I can give you enough money for you to pay them gradually." I sigh and I sit on the chair. He sits in front of me, resting his elbows on his knees and his chin on his hands. (Sean) "I know everything, Sky... I can help you." I have no choice... (Skylar) "Okay... What do I have to do?" One night, a stripper meets a hot suited guy. He chooses her to serve him but what happens when he decides he wants more from her? Will she give in to his touch? * A mature story that contains strong language and sexual content.* Note: There is a photo on each chapter. I suggest you don't see it if you're not old enough. *wink* **I realized that this doesn't happen in many books, or none (I haven't read a book where this type of writing was used) but I want to let you know that during the story and when the characters speak, the person's name is in between brackets before the speech. Simply because it would probably get confusing if there wasn't anything that could distinguish who is talking after the speech. I hope you find it convenient during your reading.**
