It had always been Alex-and-Stevie, right from the start, but after all they've managed to go through, it was beginning to feel more like Alex. And Stevie.
Alex knew he and the lads wouldn't have been able to do it without her, which was all the more reason he felt a vacuum in his chest. He knew he hadn't abandoned her, but when he wasn't drowning himself in work guilt still clawed at him for leaving her behind.
Whatever "wasted potential" Stevie had in regards to musical talent, however badly she loved music, it was all greatly overshadowed by the growing distance between the two of them, and the right moment was beginning to feel like a pipe dream.
The liminal space between Alex and Stevie and Alex-and-Stevie was disorienting, but with about a decade of things unsaid, having their guards down at exactly the wrong moment forces them to confront the inevitable.All Rights Reserved

The Swan 2: Taking Flight by JaideHarley

*COMPLETE*** "You're not playing fair," I whispered, shuddering when I felt his lips and the stubble on his jaw brush against the side of my neck. "I don't recall making rules," he said, lifting his head, our noses nearly touching as he stared into my eyes. "If there aren't rules, then I can't be playing unfair." "Friends don't talk this close," I said as he took a step closer. "Or touch this much." "Friends also don't respond to their friends' touch the way you are to mine," he said, bringing his hand up to my jaw and tilting my face up towards his, his lips centimeter from mine. "I personally think you set our friendship up for failure by assuming our connection could be ignored. I've never been good at friendship anyway, I say we try something I could do better at." "What could you do better at, Milo?" I asked, a shaky breath escaping me as his lips leaned in closer and only turned away from mine at the last minute. His lips brushed against my ear as his hand moved to the back of my head, threading through my hair as he whispered. "Us." Emery has been in Europe the last eight months. She deals with the challenges of being a growing star with sometimes overly interested fans and people coming back in her life now that she's succeeding. Not only that, she had to nurse a broken heart with her lover, Milo, and was doing the best she could, so good she met someone new. It seemed the new man in her life was more than enough for her feelings for Milo to dissipate, or at least she thought, until Milo contacts her. Milo's been going through some intensive personal growth as his psychologist works with him on some unresolved issues and challenges that went undiagnosed when Milo was a child. Milo is in the process of learning to break free from poisonous words that filled his head as a child. Through it all he had one goal in sight: to be well enough to be with Emery. He works up the courage to contact her but finds a lot can change in a few months.

Lost in the woods (18+) by faithmarcellaa

The moment she noticed her handler forgot to lock the small room behind him, she wasted no time making a run for it. There's only one problem though. She had no clue where she was. Surrounded by endless trees she was stripped of having any sense of direction but that didn't stop her motives. The girl began her journey and ran for what felt like hours, stumbling upon a small abandoned home camouflaged deep in the woods. No second thoughts, she took shelter. Soon it's discovered that the home was indeed not abandoned, but already claimed by someone. He studied her from the corner of the room as she stood there, oblivious to his presence... **WARNING** -ABUSE MENTIONED -SEXUAL EXPLOITATION / TRAFFICKING -SOME EXPLICIT DESCRIPTIONS MAY TRIGGER PEOPLE -18+ MATURE CHAPTERS FAR AHEAD ;))

six stops to somewhere by kiorias

every morning, she takes the same subway. same time, same car, same seat by the window. she doesn't look at people-doesn't want to be looked at. her past is heavy, stitched into her skin like an old wound that never healed right. trust is a foreign language, and love? that's just a story other people get to live. she has her job, her tiny studio, and her cat that isn't even supposed to be there. that's enough. it has to be. he takes the same train. same time, same car. he's always put together, always in control, always moving forward. he doesn't have time for anything that doesn't serve him. but when he notices her-really notices her-he can't seem to stop. maybe it's the way she stares out the window like she's somewhere else entirely. maybe it's the way she never lingers, never hesitates, like she's afraid of staying too long. they don't speak. not at first. but glances turn into curiosity, silence turns into something else, and one day, he finally sits down beside her. they only ever talk on the subway. never outside of it. because the subway isn't real life. it's just a moment in between. a place where things begin but never last. but some things are meant to follow you home.

Dawn of Kleftis by Skaursgaurd

WARNING: THIS STORY CONTAINS SCENES THAT SOME MAY FIND TRIGGERING. UPDATE: SUNDAY HEADS UP: I associate music a lot with writing. One I can do, the other I can't lol. Like all my stories, each chapter will have a song or songs attached, I recommend you listen to each to grasp the full gravity of the story. Comments will be left for when you should change song. Alex spends most of his days alone and that's the way he likes it. The world isn't like it used to be, and going alone is the easier option. Monsters invaded, bringing with them death and plague. They left their scars on humanity, on him. What will he do when he's forced to face his demons, and the end of his quiet life? Will he be able to retain his humanity? "We don't know who's doing this to us, what root it's growing from, or why. They came with blood, ash, and war. Humanity retreated away to its bastion as the darkness clouded around us, and then they came. Our beacons of light." Art by ORYANIMA Twitter.com/Oryanima Instagram.com/Oryanima

Best of Friends by sellaturcica

""Kitten, you're worried about something, and you cannae lie. You're picking at your hands and looking around to clean up my room. Unlucky for you, my room is very clean," he said, "Now what are you worrying about so much?" I stopped picking at my cuticles. It was kind of weird that he could see me doing something and read me like a book before I could even realize I was doing it. I felt my heart pound in my chest. "Well, it's just this whole pretending to date you thing," I shrugged, "How far do we have to take it? Do we have to do it in front of our friends? Do we have to do it in public because obviously we ran into Olivia today and we weren't planning on it. Oh shit, what if she sees you with another girl? I mean, what would happen then? What if she sees me talking to another guy? How long is this going to go on? What if we have to kiss in front of Olivia? I mean, it's not that I don't want to kiss you but--" I rambled on nervously. Iain smirked and walked towards me, and the next thing I knew, his lips were on mine, and we were kissing." When Kit's older brother, Ben, finally makes it with the girl he's been crushing on for four years, only to find out she's wary of family, he lies and calls his baby sister his best friend's girlfriend, turning everyone's life upside down. While Kit's struggling with the impending doom of college and parents that could divorce at any second, she's also juggling a fake relationship with her brother's hot best friend, Iain. As if that weren't complicated enough, a chemistry sparks between Iain, igniting flames and destroying the crumbling world around them. RATED M for drug and alcohol use and sexual themes

Technicolor Beat by Scribe18

"It's like . . . you know how at the end of summer camp or college everyone packs all their stuff up and drives off before you so they can go home and reunite with family, and the whole camp is empty and you're standing in the middle of your vacant dorm because your ride isn't here yet?" ". . . Yeah?" "It's like that. Immortality is being left behind at camp alone, and you don't know why." She couldn't remember her name. Didn't really matter, plenty of substitutes available. They almost numbered the amount of years she'd been in this world. Luckily for her, there was one reason she was still here, and as soon as she figured out what the hell it was she could fix it and move on. He remembered her. And what she looked like, how she took her coffee, everything. He couldn't get her out of his head. She was his muse, a glimpse into the impossible where he may finally have something to write about. But what happens when inspiration turns into love, especially with someone who is unable to reciprocate it? Does tragedy or intimacy await them? What is destiny, really?

Villain and Violence || Devil's Night Fanfiction by anxalna

She wasn't supposed to love him. She had told herself that a thousand times, whispered it like a warning in the dead of night. But love had a cruel way of ignoring reason, twisting itself into something undeniable, something dangerous. Otkrovenyie never spoke the words aloud, never dared to let them escape into the air where they could betray her. Instead, she showed it in the silence, in the way her eyes lingered a second too long when she thought he wasn't looking, in the way she always seemed to know exactly when he was at his breaking point, pulling him back just before he shattered. She cared in ways he would never understand, in ways he wasn't meant to see. She carried his pain like it was her own, protected him from battles he didn't even know existed. And now, she was risking everything for him-her identity, her safety, the life she had built in the shadows-all for the man who could never know the truth. But the hardest part? He didn't even know she was in love with him. And she could never let him find out. My oc Otkrovenyie x Damon Torrance Slow Brun Endless love Forbidden love
