childhood comingofage dress epiphany evan friendship julie life lipstick love nobody oneshot original puddle rain red seven seventeen shortstory society somebody suburbs summernights teenagers unrequitedlove

Because Nobody is better than Somebody, and Somebody makes her smile though lips painted red with lipstick she doesn't like, wear the black dress that is in the back of her closet for a reason, makes her labor over curling irons and hair for longer than she wants to - but Nobody lets her dance under night skies in the rain with streetlights instead of stars - and that is everything and nothing at all. 

Oh, c'est la vie; such is life.

[or Evan remembers when Julie was seven instead of seventeen, when they didn't know the suburbs were where people watched life go by and where everyone talked but no one said anything, and he wishes the rain would last forever]

...

[basically just a short story about a boy in love with his childhood friend who has no idea; centered around one snapshot moment/an epiphany]

Unwritten Pages by MoonlightSanity

(COMPLETED) Winterlyn (Winter) Evaline Lawly is the school's biggest...no one. She's not noticed anywhere. She's not loud, she's not a teacher's pet. She's not popular, and she's not skinny nor fat. Winter is just...herself. But nobody notices her. No one knows that she exists. She's just another regular kid that drags themselves to high school everyday. Not one of those popular kids. Not a nerd either. What happens...when she commits suicide? Police and most classmates are unsure why she would want to kill herself. For one thing, she was not clinically depressed. She didn't have bullies. No one made fun of her. But as her journal falls into the hands of one of her friends, he realizes that Winter's world may have been much darker than he realized. In Unwritten Pages, dive right into the pages of Winter's final year, her life, her friends, and the dark reason why she was driven towards death. ~NaNoWriMo 2011 *Highly unedited* WARNING: Somewhat poorly written. Plot holes, mistakes, unrealistic, tedious (drones/boring). READ AT OWN RISK Extra notes: There is some slut-bashing, which I am at this time very ashamed of it. Do not read it if you do tolerate like slut-bashing. I apologize for this. I was beginning high school when I wrote this. Not that I'm saying my age excuses my previous behaviour, but I was very unaware of this at the time. For those who don't mind slut-bashing, you should mind! It's an incredibly hurtful thing to do and is very misogynistic (look it up if you need to). We live in a patriarch society, and women should not be slut-bashing each other just because of promiscuity. Here's some food for thought: When men do it, how come they're seen as amazing and desirable and are given a kind of 'award' and respect from everyone else around them, but when women are promiscuous, they only get hatred from other people? What someone does in the bedroom is no one's business but them and their partner, and no one should be put down for that.

Finer Things // h.s. by stilefile

My friendship for Harry is laying on green grass on a hazy summer afternoon, hot chocolate in winter and swing sets at the park... But my love for Harry is poetry written by hand in leather journals, dried flowers pressed into novels and open button up shirts that expose my black swimmer tops. I realised something; his pinkie wrapped in mine is a feeling I've never realised I crave so badly. Perhaps because I couldn't have it. Not until now. **** With growing up comes change and for Tilly and Harry - change was their detriment. *this story contains mature and explicit content* * COMPLETED* Highest Achievements: #1 in one #1 in onedirection #1 in hs1 #1 in secretlove #1 in harrystyles #1 in films #1 in onedirectionasthemselves

The Bad Boy Saved Me by Pentatonix21

Do you ever wonder what life would be like if it were a movie? Or some sappy romance novel that you wish your life could be like but it's not? Sometimes you may even get to caught up in the fictional world that you don't realise it IS fictional. Then when you do realise life isn't what you convinced yourself it would be, there is only one possible outcome. Depression. Which may lead to anxiety, self-harm, low self esteem, and worst of all, losing the people you love. Life works in weird ways. Not just for you but for others too. Take Cassidy Rivers for example. Her life is far from perfect. No parents, over protective big brother, few friends, and Asher Norman, the bad boy who won't stop picking on her. Could life get any worse for Cassidy?

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.

I'm Set free | Ineffableboyfriends | Short Stories by buchananbottoms

Vague update schedule, unrelated stories. I usually update every few months but sometimes I get busy. If you see that this hasn't been updated in 3 months dont worry! That's just how I work. 1) I'm Set Free: Aziraphale finds himself distracted by a certain demon, and Crowley finds out that he likes having his hair touched 2) This Thing Called Love: Love is in the air and so is frustration. Crowley gets upset and takes a five-day nap, waking only to hang out with Aziraphale and visit The Them [I have never seen titanic it has nothing to do with it] 3) Champagne?: Crowley is dining alone tonight when he gets some company from a stranger he wishes would leave him be 4) Aziraphale Loves: Aziraphale is a lover many things in life, books, good wine, Crowley, wearing sensible shoes, people, but Aziraphale also loves food, and he just happens to have a poorly timed craving for crepes. 5) Crowley Shrugged: The pair had been talking and sipping expensive wine, during their conversation they had started talking about wings and flying, then Aziraphale had stated that he hadn't used his wings in a few hundred years, which had bewildered Crowley 6) Tight Pants: Aziraphale and Crowley go out to dinner and Aziraphale gets jealous when someone invites Crowley back to their flat. Snake!Crowley and wings 7) just an announcement 8) dancing in the rain: Dancing in the rain isn't always ideal, even though it's always quite romantic. A little boy pointed and said 'look, mummy, they're in love' this made Crowley smile and wave at the boy (I've run out of room)

His Little; My Kitten | Completed by Origin_of_Kelpie

Allison "Allie" Heart is twenty-five and has a really good relationship with her parents and friends. Though her body is a little different and she has some mental things to overcome, she's overall a happy little. Yes, Allie is a little. She's never found "the one" to be her daddy dominant. Well, that was until the night of a storm when she reunited with a childhood friend and meets someone who absolutely adores/cherishes her. However, there are more twists and turns than Allie expected to the relationship, although none were bad. But the guy she adores seems to be hiding something that tears him up inside (or used to before Allie came into his life). What's he hiding? And is it as terrible as it seemed to be, or is he just simply blaming himself needlessly? And when an old tormentor comes to town, can Allie overcome her past? __________________ WARNINGS: Straight romance (manxwoman) Intersexual female (male and female genitalia) 18+ Smut Daddy Dom/Little Girl (DDLG) Mommy Dom/Little Girl (MDLG) Caretaking Gay characters Childhood bully trauma Good warnings: Fluff and cuteness (lots) Good friendships and family Therapy __________________ This story will have gay characters in it, so if you don't like that, please don't read. This story also does NOT sexualize real littles as Allie will always be in her adult mind when anything naughty happens with her lover. This book also includes the sharing of taking care of Allie as a little, which is unconventional in DDLG/MDLG stories, but this is my story. If you don't mind any of these things, I hope you enjoy my work! ------ This cover was made with an cat illustration (that I edited slightly) with no copyright on it from Pixabay and elements from Pixlr through its photo editor.

I don't know you anymore by mysterious_mochi

Primrose was raised to be a perfect little girl her whole life, at a young age she was raised to perfection, kitten heels, dresses and manners of a lady. She met a boy named Xavier in preschool, a skinny little boy with glasses, she grew fond of the funny little boy and they became good friends despite his family being short of money. When Primrose was 8 and Xavier was 9 years old Xavier's Fathers business hit the jackpot and went sky high making them one of the richest families in the country. He moved away leaving primrose in her perfectly controlled life. Years passed, Xavier changed in every way possible, he got contact lenses and his hair grew darker with age and he was toned and covered in tattoos. He was unrecognisable. Primrose however hadn't changed one bit, she had light blonde hair with soft curls and bright green eyes. She still wore perfect prim dresses and kitten heels and held herself like a lady and was kind to everyone even the worst of people. When Xavier returned to his home town at 19 he recognised primrose who is now 18. However she didn't recognise him. (TW: I have made this story mature for very small reasons such as how her father treats her and her mother and it may be upsetting to some so please be mindful of this when reading the story. There is also bullying and controlling behaviour mentioned. Otherwise it's pretty PG within the book)
