"The truth is, airports have seen more sincere hugs and kisses than wedding halls."
Airports - the one place you bid goodbye, yet say hello. Where you close one box of memories, and open another to store new ones. Where if you shut one door, another will definitely open. Where there are tears and smiles, hopes and disappointments.
And, of course, where you're sure to get touched all over in uncomfortable places as security frisks you.
So much can happen at an airport.
- A series of short stories, all of which happen at airports -

Skybound Strangers
Some things are just not meant to be caught. Feelings are one of them. Catching feelings is much like catching flights. You don't always know where you'll land. You miss a flight, you move on. You chase the sky, and you risk the fall. Even then, you keep doing it again and again. And sometimes, just sometimes, the layover changes everything. One is a Broadway actress whose voice fills the world, but who struggles to hear her own heart. The other, a travel magnate who commands the skies but has forgotten how to land. Is a love born midair ever meant to last once it touches the ground? A question that may never be answered. But one thing is for sure, they're a flight closer to the right place. - LNRS AU
Unexpected Events
I've always hated airports, especially when you know they can take you to faraway places and all the different things that could go wrong, not only in the air but even with the plane being stationary. So right now, I was miserable and so, so very far from my happy place. Everything had happened so fast, I never thought I would have been sitting here feeling like this, like I was running away.Complete
His Broken Angel
For a second I turned my back when I felt strong arms grab my waist and pull me back. Reese forced me to sit on his lap as I felt his lips near my neck. "You really want me to leave?" he whispered in my ear with that deep voice of his. "Y-Yes," I stuttered. My heartbeat quickened as he planted a kiss right near my earlobe. Why was he doing this to me!? "But I just got here," Reese repeated. This time I didn't prepare myself since he began to plant soft kisses on my neck, I bit hard on my lips. Reese's hands traveled up my body until they met my stomach, my breath quickening. "Tempted?" his soft but alluring voice asked me. I could've nodded but I was too focused on the fact that his hand was right at my stomach. Instead I turned my head back and smirked before planting a soft kiss on his cheeks. "Maybe," I whispered. ****** Maggie Rosewood is new to the town, and she's not your typical girl. With a dark past and dangerous habits, she isn't planning on getting any attention from anybody at her new HighSchool. Reese Matthews is the exact opposite. He loves the attention and makes sure he gets it 24/7. But after one good look at Maggie, he will make sure that she is his girl. ****This story also includes self harm and bulimia, just a warning. Also, @XxUrban_WriterXx for the amazing cover.

Without You (Bob Floyd x Reader) [Top Gun : Maverick]
!!READ DESC FIRST!!! (important part in '!!') With Y/N having just been fired, she's stuck home with her boring boyfriend, Miles. They break up and she leaves with literally no where to go. She hates pilots, and her luck has her stuck in a city where nearly everyone flies. Ending up staying with a decent naval aviator who's name is literally Brad, she meets and falls for a charming young WSO, while a different asshole airman tries to hook up with her. Lots of drama, no smut (sorry) and very interesting development because I had no plan going into this. - started July 2022 ended February 2023 - !!!!!!! Looking back, I absolutely hate this story, but a lot of people seem to like it, therefore, I am leaving it up. I was way too young to be writing this shit, cut me some slack. Please know my writing and storytelling has gotten SO much better, I'm extremely proud of my other published works and this one was just... eugh... I agree with every single critique this has gotten. HOWEVER its my most read story and the only one I get notified about even after 3 years. Lots of love. Thanks for all the continued support :)) Please read my other stories I promise they're much better in every single way. !!!! - "Wanna race to the water?" "Like kids?"

Tales Of A Broken Home
I'm so afraid of endings. Before he died, my father used to say that life is a long hallway and people come and go as they pass by our doors. Some stay for a while, some just peek in, and some never enter at all. But they all leave their mark on us, and we on them. And when our own door finally opens, we'll look back and see a trail of people we've loved and lost along the way. I used to think that was just his way of coping with his own mortality, but now I understand. Every time someone leaves my life, I feel like I'm losing a part of myself. I've always had a hard time saying goodbye, holding onto moments and memories like they're fragile pieces of glass. But no matter how tightly I hold on, eventually they slip from my grasp and shatter into a million pieces. Maybe it's because of how I was born, in the midst of a storm that tore my family apart. Maybe it's because my father left too soon, and I'm scared that everyone else will too. All I know is that I'm so afraid of endings that I cling to beginnings like they're my lifeline, hoping that they'll stretch out forever. But they never do. And every time I'm faced with another goodbye, I feel like I'm losing a little piece of myself. I try to hold onto the memories, the feelings, the moments I never want to forget. But they always fade, leaving me with a bittersweet ache in my chest. I know that life is a constant cycle of beginnings and endings. And every ending is just a new beginning waiting to happen. But it doesn't make it any easier to let go, to say goodbye, to watch someone I love walk away from my life. So I'll hold onto the beginnings for as long as I can. I'll savor every moment, every feeling, every memory. And when the time comes to say goodbye, I'll hold on a little tighter, and I'll try to remember that endings are just a part of the journey.Complete
The Space Between by Noah V
In a world where we carry thousands of connections in our pockets, why do so many of us still go to bed feeling like strangers to ourselves? Why does "seen" at 11:47 PM feel more intimate than most conversations we have face-to-face? This is a story about two young men-Micky and Harry-who found each other across continents and drawn together by the magnetic pull of possibility and the desperate need to be seen for who they truly are. Both carry the invisible weight of childhoods where love came with conditions-where being seen meant being someone else entirely. Each has learned what it means to bend for a world that rarely bends back. And still, they've come to understand that some of the most meaningful connections are born in quiet, against the odds, where they've found that the deepest connections often take root in the least expected places-within the soft glow of a phone screen, in late night exchanges the span continents and emotional scars. But what happens when the person who finally sees your real self-lives 300 miles away? When the most honest conversations of your life happen through a screen? When the love that feels like coming home exists only in the space between "message sent" and "message received"? This is not just a story about online romance or the complexities of modern love. This is a story about the terrifying intimacy of being truly known-and the devastating realization that sometimes the people who love us best are the ones we can't touch. It's about the courage it takes to be vulnerable, the price we pay for authenticity, and the sometimes painful journey toward understanding what we truly deserve. It's about two people learning that the search for love-real, honest, transformative love-often begins with the hardest task of all: learning to love themselves.
Mac (Riders of Apollo #8)
"Are you going to kiss me or are you just gonna stare?" As if he needed the encouragement, he slams his mouth down on mine in a frenzy, his hands moving from the counter to my thighs and pressing himself against me completely. I try and overcome him in the kiss but he wins, his tongue controlling mine in a way I've never experienced before. I'm used to being in charge so it's nice to have someone take control of me for once. He picks me up, his fingertips biting my ass as he carries us back upstairs. He doesn't break the kiss even while moving and I don't find myself worried that he's going to drop me, I've never trusted anyone this much before and it feels good. I pull away from the kiss to start nibbling just below his ear, making his breaths come out sharper as he carries me to the bedroom. We end up in one of my spare rooms instead of my room but I don't even care, I just want him wherever I can get him. He drops me onto the bed with me still latched on his neck as he groans against my skin, sending shivers down my spine. I pull his cut off as his hands start creeping under my shirt, brushing against the underside of my breasts while he bites down on my bottom lip. I almost rip his shirt in my desperation to reach his skin and I sigh in relief when my hands touch the warm skin I've been thinking of more than I should've been. He is distracted by my mouth so I take the opportunity to explore the muscle in his chest and out towards his biceps where it curls gorgeously. I can only think about sinking my teeth into it so I pull out of the kiss and start licking across the surface, his hand tightens in my hair as I bite down on his shoulder.Complete
