A little sequel short story to Ultramarine. Set in seven months after most of the events of Ultramarine, bar the Epilogue. Please read that story before you read this one!
Essentially, this is the first Christmas Sheena and Cole spend together, all in Sheena's POV.
A lot of fluff because it's good for my mental health, but it's also mostly about healing, about recovery, and finding peace.

Inspired by the movie Happiest Season, and its theme song, Think of Christmas.
Each chapter will be accompanied by a song, but the song may not necessary go with the entire chapter, so don't feel obligated to listen to that exact song while reading any given chapter. The song will be linked in the comment to the first paragraph of each chapter.
Rated mature for mild swearing.

Instead I was the Alpha that locked his mate away for a crime that I didn't even know if he actually committed, I thought about rejecting him because he was a man and I'm not gay and I refused to give into the bond and love him back. I felt insecure around Raiden because he's a feline. I was insecure because he's stronger, faster, more dominant and I hated how much my body gave into him - how much my body wanted to submit to him because I'm an Alpha and Alphas don't submit. So I caved and I tainted our bond, I hurt him beyond repair and when I just couldn't deny the bond anymore, I found out just how hard it would actually be to gain his trust back - to get him to want me again.

A Darkest Minds Fanfic A boy hell bent on protecting others. A girl dead set on seeking revenge. Surviving Sawtooth was only the beginning. Whispers of a new threat spring Cole into action, forcing him to form a reluctant alliance with a girl unwilling to help. As Cole tries to unravel the mystery, he realizes that he needs to figure out who he can trust - even if it's himself. I do not own The Darkest Minds or any of the canonical characters.

I have yet to create an idea, but my intention lies here: -Payneland Fanfiction -Slow Burning -- Revolves around Edwin and Charles -- both of their thoughts, lovey-dovey and sad -- but hopelessness in contradiction. ***My intention may change, depending on how I'm feeling, and on suggestions, if I get any.*** I must warn anyone who views this: - This is my first Wattpad story, and I may not have much planned. - The story may end up jumbled up, as what I write could reflect the process of my very thoughts, as if they were a metal sponge (metal sponges hurt a lot when you use them, it's very bad in the sensory sense :((...) There's a really good fic, The Manuscript of Real People by Paraph, and it's on ao3, for anyone who has it. It is my favourite; based in the '70s, a school AU where Charles and Edwin are roomates - sounds bad - but it is magnificent. Read it. πŸ™

πŒπ€π‘π‚π„π‹π‹π€ π‚π‘πˆπ’π“ (ANGEL) Older. Scary. Silent. Damon Lars was always lurking in the shadows, a sinister presence that scared me. It would be oblivious for me not to notice him even in the darkest areas. He was there. Maybe invisible to others, not to me. My brother's best friend, Damon, was notorious for his dark reputation. While I immersed myself in books, I could feel his gaze upon me. Sometimes, I feel him notice me too. No one knows what happens when all my brother's friends are busy. I saw him. Every day. And I vowed to keep my mouth shut. My secret. And his. STELLA RUSSEL (PRINCESS) Rich. Entitled. Bratty. That was me, and I'm proud. I hated Grayson Meadows. He constantly treated me as if I were a spoiled rich brat - which I was - our fathers being business partners made us around each other a lot. Despite his mocking, he always protected me, causing me to feel uneasy in his presence. If I harbor such animosity towards him, why do I find myself concerned for him too? I hate him. But I fucking need him more. LILIANA ROSELINE (DOLLFACE) Jaxon's intense gaze always sent shivers down my spine, as if he could see right through me. He was Marci's violent older brother, a brooding figure with a penchant for chaos. Danger seemed to emanate from him like a dark aura. Yet, amidst his menacing aura, he would fixate his eyes on me, as if I were the epitome of perfection. But could a girl, so perfect, ever be enticed by a man like him? Yes, because I'm so deep down in love with him. AVERY RAVEN (LITTLE DEVIL) Alessio, the loud figure, refers to me as the 'little devil' and feigns animosity towards me. He says he hates me a lot. However, deep down, I am aware that his feelings are quite the opposite. In the dead of night, when the world slumbers, he clandestinely dials my number on each of my birthdays, evoking an unsettling sensation within me. Until last summer, when everything went south and I ruined Alessio's life

I'm running, my dress bunched up in my fists. But I'm not running for my life I'm running for his, and when I see him I stop. There is one bulky man on either side of him, they have their arms linking his, he's kneeling in front of someone with raven black hair. As we get closer, I see his pain in the way he's holding himself, his brown hair is clouding his face. Something catches in my throat as I see him bent forward, almost looking limp. The panic is slowly eating me up on the inside. 'Please lift your head, let me see your eyes' I pray inside my head. He can't be gone. It's almost like he hears my prayers as he looks up, his blue eyes as deep as the ocean depths, knocks the breath out of me as per usual. I close my eyes and thank God for keeping him alive. The right side of his jaw is all purple and red. A cut on the other side of his face, which is oozing with the red liquid. He suddenly looks past the black haired male to look at us, reassurance washing over his features. It's when he sees me that his eyes widen, and the panic grows by the second. He goes from a slump to picking himself upright. He's hurt. Badly. The black haired man spins around as we walk closer in their direction. All 6 of us stop as I catch a glimpse of the face. A deadly grin appears on his wicked face. "Boys, I've been waiting for you" He shouts loud and clear. "And you brought the girl" * Crescent Bay Dawson was once popular but now she lives in the shadow of her twin brother. The only person who notices her is the cocky, egotistic, Star Quarterback of the school; Elliott Grayson. Can Elliott charm her into falling for him or will she finally win the heart of her childhood crush? #2 in humor - 2nd February 2018 #5 in teen fiction - 6th November 2017 Honestly if you wanna laugh this book will make you laugh cause that's what I'm all about!
Highschool Sweethearts by K-good
16 parts Complete Mature
Katelyn has been in and out of the foster system since her mother died when she was young. After her father gets put in jail again, she gets sent to live with the Thomas family. The Thomas's are a very well-off family with four boys. Their house is usually the main hangout for the boys and their friends. Kate hasn't ever lived with siblings before, let alone this many boys, so it's a big change for her. Daniel is your typical high school football player; he's got the looks, the muscles, talent, and even the overbearing dad who wants him to go pro. Daniel, however, really couldn't care less about a career in football, he loves the game, but it's his dad's dream for him to go pro, not his own. At least not anymore. He spends most of his free time away from his house and hanging out at either the Thomas or the Copperfield house. He can't wait to go off to college with his friends and get away from his dad and the stupid little town he grew up in. How will things change for them over the next year? This will be a series of 4, but the other books will be spin-offs and can be read as stand-alone books. They will, however, be published in chronological order. Full warning, this book is much shorter than I intend on making the spin-offs. I was planning on writing book two as the first in the series but found myself needing more of a prequel to all three other books, and so I chose to write something from their high school years. Bonus points for giving Daniel a love interest that was more than just a name.

His lips grazed on my other ear as he whispered, "Never seen this side of me, have you?" I slowly shook my head to a no, not looking away from his blue eyes in the mirror. "This is how I am when I am the opposite of being in love with you." His hands tightened around my waist and I flinched. "Shocked?" I nodded a yes immediately. "Good, get used to it." I see him get close to my ear again and I close my eyes, expecting the worst. But when I open my eyes, he's gone, leaving the door wide open. . . . It's been 8 years since Isabella Cosmo disappeared. 8 years of unanswered questions, pain, and agony. It is not an easy ride when they meet again.

Ultramarine | The Darkest Minds Fanfic by ApherodC

Alternate timeline to The Darkest Minds series. After being rescued from Leda Corp, Sheena found herself in another hellhole-The Children's League. Other than dealing with training, finding out the real identity of her rescuer, she also has some big secrets to keep-that she's a Purple, and she's feeding a monster inside her. +++ An alternate timeline to Nowhere Girl, though you don't need to read that story to enjoy this one. A special thanks to @Carstairs312, whose encouragements have been paramount to the birth of this work. I do not own the right to any of the characters except Sheena. Rated Mature for strong languages. CW: Major character death. Depictions of injuries.

A fix-it story for those of you who couldn't handle Cole's death in the original series. (like me) Having the rarest of all power--the ability to heal--Sheena was subjected to the mercy of the scientists in Leda Corp Research Center, until a mysterious man saved her. The problem is, will she be able to save him in return? +++ Setting in the universe of The Darkest Minds, this is a story about an original character's journey of learning how to be brave, with the helps from some friends (also original characters). Some of the book characters would show up mostly in later parts of the story (except for one, who showed up as soon as the first chapter), and the story itself is tightly knitted to the events in The Darkest Minds book series, so one do need to read them in order to enjoy this. Also, even though I tried my best to not contradict the canon, there are still some fundamental elements in this story that has to go against the grain. (i.e. Cole's death) You might notice that the chapter titles are all Beatles songs, but I actually didn't put them there as a playlist; in other words, you don't have to listen to the title song while reading the chapter. Anyway, hope you like it! Rate as Mature only for strong language CW: Depiction of Injuries
