Found You [ BILLIE EILISH ]
She tilted her head, studying me again. Then, voice quieter, she added, "You're gonna be okay, you know." I blinked. "What?" Billie smirked, nudging my leg with hers. "I know you secretly rely on my constant presence and magnetic charm to get you through your days." "Magnetic charm?" I repeated, unimpressed. "Yes." "You have the charm of a raccoon breaking into a gas station at 2 AM." "Thank you." I groaned. "That was not a compliment."Complete
Love at Dawn
Featured on @HistoricalFiction @NARomance 🥇2023 Rose Gold Awards 🥇Literary Book Awards Story of Edith&Andre: "O'Lady Liberty divine! For thee alone, my life I'd resign: I beseech all to carve thy name so fair, On my tombstone, for all to stare." "This is a love poem for me?" Edith couldn't help muttering resignedly. But what else could she do? Her lover was a stoic little leader! Every time she complained that he was always working tirelessly, Andre would smile and whisper in her ear, "Have you not heard? 'A revolutionary only finds rest in his grave'." It seemed like an ominous omen when he ultimately had neither a grave nor a tombstone. The only thing Andre left her was a small notebook with a red cover. The front page was inscribed with neatly written words: Love, Compassion, Liberty. The final pages remained blank, but at the very end was a small line of pencil writing, already smudged and faded. Each letter was bold and alive, revealing the profound happiness and fervor of the writer: "Liberty is the right to love and to be loved." Story of Fiona: Little Fiona always thought that she lived in a world entirely separated from those wealthy girls, until this barefooted waif became a little Marchioness overnight. She had two fathers, one grand and handsome like a god, the other short and frail like a reed. They believed in completely different philosophies - the latter left her mired in poverty and shame, while the former pulled her into a heaven full of dignity and glory. Fiona chose one and abandoned the other. She felt she lacked nothing: beauty, wealth, honour, and love. Until she met that angel in the scarlet dress again. A century later, the old soldier who ended Fiona's life recalled her in his memoir: "I felt that old lady was a blaze of fire. I aimed at her, shot, and she fell. But bullets could never snuff out flames." What romantic entanglements will fate weave for these noble souls?Complete
Fever Dream
I didn't go to that party looking for anything, if I'm being totally honest I didn't even want to go. But when her eyes caught mine, something in me shifted. My closed off self began to open up without warning. I've worked hard to build a life that looks beautiful from the outside-even if sometimes, I don't always feel beautiful on the inside. I've kept people at arm's length. I've told myself I'm fine being alone. Then Billie kissed me. And suddenly, I wasn't so sure about anything. This story is about us. About falling in love when you least expect it. About trust, and timing, and choosing each other again and again-even when it's scary. Even when it's messy. This is our Fever Dream. 🥇 eilish - 14.07.25 🥇 billieilishfanfic 14.07.25Complete

When We Begin Again | Billie Eilish
Aurora Bennett and Billie Eilish met in a Los Angeles dance class at thirteen. they were inseparable ever since-bonding over music, inside jokes, and even their shared crush on Justin Bieber. For years, Billie wasn't just Aurora's best friend; she was home. But in 2021, Aurora's world shattered. Her mum's sudden passing forced her and her little sister Juliette back to Brisbane, into the custody of a father they feared. At just eighteen, Aurora chose to endure his cruelty to protect Juliette, sacrificing her entire life in L.A. The day Juliette turned thirteen, the sisters sought help from child protection services, and Aurora fought a brutal five-month court battle to win custody. She won-but the cost was high. Their father had destroyed every device, every connection, every trace of the life they once knew. Until a letter changed everything. Encouraged by her best friend Kyle, Aurora wrote to Billie through a P.O. box, never expecting it to reach her. But it did. Soon, secret letters became the sisters' lifeline back to L.A.-a thread of connection, once a month, from her aunt's house. Then one day, Finneas reached out directly. Through him and Claudia, Aurora discovered something she never dared hope for: a way back. Now, with their mother's hidden inheritance uncovered, a home waiting in L.A., and Kyle finally ready to make the move, Aurora, Juliette, and Kyle are returning. Finneas and Claudia are determined to surprise Billie with Aurora's return, keeping the secret safe. What Aurora doesn't know yet is that this isn't just about finding her old life again. It's about discovering that sometimes the love stories she buries herself in aren't just stories- sometimes, they're waiting for her, the moment she begins again.
My Unrecognizable Girl - B.E.
This is the second book in the My Girl series - "Why did you end things the way that you did?" I ask, genuinely wanting to know. It never made sense to me. I never got a proper explanation. She sighs and takes a minute before she answers. "What else did you expect from me? I was getting tired of lying. I didn't want to feel like something that you had to keep hidden. It made me feel unimportant." I sigh and bite my lip. "I never wanted you to feel that way. I just didn't know what else to do," I say, trying to explain myself. "Yes, you did. You just didn't give a fuck," she says, getting up and walking away. I sigh and lean against the wall. What do I do now? - Will have smut, drugs and alcohol, and assault warnings. Includes foul and suggestive language. - This book is set in the future and is mostly in Billie's POV - Started: 09/23/2024 Finished: 10/02/2024 - Book One: My Favorite Girl Book Two: My Unrecognizable Girl Book Three: My Sentimental Girl Book Four: My Unforgettable GirlComplete
