My Quirky Love by Imisshoe

This book can be read as a stand alone Greyson Blake Rosen-Hower Who doesn't know that name? Everyone with a pulse knows his family. He's blessed with his father's devilish looks and cunning mind. He's already on top of the corporate ladder at a young age without any effort. He also inherits his mother's pure heart. Well, if you dig deeper, I mean more more deeper like Mariana's trench deep. I swear you'll find it. Sunshine McBright is the epitome of happiness and positive energy. Even her name says it all. She's simple minded and detached from reality most of the time. Trying to be happy and making others happy while you are experiencing hardship was so hard but she'd rather die trying than not. They met in a strange way and she captivated Greyson with her quirkiness. Like his father, Greyson believes at love at first sight. They are opposites in every way but Greyson will do anything to leap that gap between them and make Sunshine his. Forever. -excerpt- I was sitting quietly in the middle of Central Park when suddenly a flower appeared on my vision. I looked up and saw a redhead smiling widely at me. My hoodie obscure half of my face so I doesn't know if this strange woman saw my flat expression. "I am sorry. I've been staring at you for a while which I know was totally creepy but I swear I am not. I notice that you look lonely and sad so I picked this flower and hopes that your day will become a little bit lighter." She pushed the flower a little so I was forced to take it. "Huh you're still not happy. Wait please." The redhead run towards a bush that has a sign that clearly said "Don't pick any flowers. Fine $50." After she picked a handful. She runs back to me. "Here." she offered the newly stealed flowers to me. "oh I also have a chocolate bar. do you want one?" The only thing that's running on my mind was who's this strange woman and can I take her home? Another amazing cover from @Regina_Anais!

Earthbound: Right at Home [Complete] by DistantCrossing

"You two were always there for each other... even through your darkest moments..." You find yourself in an unfamiliar place, with no memory of your past, and with no idea of how you got to Onett in the first place. It wasn't a pretty arrival either, you were injured, covered in mud, and on top of that, it was raining. You really want to get home, but the journey back is a little... unsettling. However, even though every thing looked all new and strange, you couldn't help but feel close at home. A family was more than happy to help, you make new friends, and develop strong feelings for a strange boy with a red and blue cap along the way. A second person romance-fiction story. One of my first x-readers, but I hope you enjoy! Published: December 5th, 2016 Completed: October 23rd, 2017 -------------------- Credit goes to @Frisky_1 For making the cover! :3 Thank you so much, it looks great! XD I took it to picart and added more details, but credit goes to them for drawing most of the cover. That center picture of Ness was found on Pintrest and the artist is unknown.

When a promising job pops up to go pick mushrooms he's just about two steps from closing the deal when a giant, quiet Kazcta arrives in the tavern. His arrival ruins his chances at a solo job and he's forced to go on the long journey with the emotionless 'oaf'. As bonds develop, secrets churn, and words are exchanged, they get closer and closer to the mushrooms. All until the Kazcta becomes ill and too many lines have been crossed for Stealth to pretend it wouldn't hurt if he lost the big, surly, oaf. They make their way to the Kazcta's tribe and- Cue the fun. HEA chapter everyday.

Possessing Sydney's Heart (manxman|| lgbtq) by notbackingdown

My life has never been roses and sunshine. I could go on and on about how I grew up in a broken household, a junkie prostitute for a mother who pimped me out to every paying customer that didn't mind sleeping with a minor. But no, this is really about me finding family. Being better than the example my mother set for me. This is about forgiveness with some trials along the way like getting knocked up by my boyfriend's brother Angelo, having Angelo find out six years after the fact, Angelo wanting to play 'Daddy' and not to mention my job as an exotic dancer just to list a few. Come on... you know you want to find out the dirty details... %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Important My books are written explicitly for a MATURE AUDIENCE 18 YEARS AND OLDER. There will be some instances/scenes/suggestions of sexual acts, crude language and will portray gay relationships between males. If you do not enjoy stories of this nature please leave now.

The Vampire King's Toxic Consort (bxb) by AnUncannyRabbit

Lucius, the less favored twin brother of Prophet Julian, was forced into marrying the Vampire Crown Prince Dorian under his brother's name as part of a truce and subsequently fell in love with his enigmatic husband. After helping Dorian claim the throne and become the first human Royal Consort of the vampire kingdom Eternia, Lucius thought he finally had found his perfect fairytale happy ending. However, his happy-ever-after only lasted several months. After Lucius's treacherous secret mission was exposed, the Royal Consort fell from grace, lost his husband's love and respect, and was imprisoned in the Northern Tower for a year. Everyone in the court was speculating when King Dorian would divorce Lucius and execute him. And just when Lucius thought things couldn't have gone worse than this, fate mocked him once more. One day, Lucius woke up and found himself branded as a human slave and trapped in the worst situation. Once lost all his privileges, he witnessed the true horror and cruelty of a world in which humans were dominated and used as livestock. With the help of a friend, Lucius managed to avoid more severe violations and eventually escaped from Eternia and headed home, however, as someone who was "defiled" by the vampires, he found no welcome, consolation, or even safety back home, either. Would he ever see Dorian again? Would Dorian ever forgive him for his betrayal? And would love find a way in all the hatred, pain and blood of another looming war between humanity and vampires? ******** This is the sequel to The Vampire Prince's Toxic Consort. You can find it in my profile. However, this book can also be read as stand-alone. Happy Ending eventually, updates every Saturday and Wednesday (by Pacific time).

Jori Collections: 2017-2021 by VoltageStone

One-shots of all Jori that I've written. These are based off of dates of publication (which I will put), so the writing will see a significant increase in quality as the stories go on. 2021 is (most likely) the last year where I have written one-shots for this pairing, so consider this all of my short works for Jori. Unless I change my mind, to which I'll update. But, anyhow, consider this a lil time capsule of how my writing grew-which I guess means it's more for me than anyone else. xD Anyway, so each one-shot will start off with bolded brackets with a brief summary in them. And as for the titles: (Date of Original publication) Title of One-Shot - Rating, Word Count [Type of story]. T = No mature content. T/M = No explicit content, but there are references/implied/a small amount of mature content. M = Explicit content; not always smut, mind you, but for the most part yes. [Sm] = Has a focus on smut (which means some stories may have brief scenes of smut, but if they are best labeled something else, they will be labeled as such; however, for example, [X*] would be a story isn't a Sm one, but does contain some). [A] = Angst, from drama to introspective. [C] = Funny, light-hearted. [F] = Supernatural/Fantasy Focused [D] = Drabble Anyway, with that said, hope you enjoy! :D
