// A W2S Fanfic //

If it is true that "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results", then Alex had been living in insanity her whole life. 

Alex feels like she as been going through the motions for way too long. Like she had been stuck living as a supporting character in someone else's story-- often playing roles like the less attractive friend, the older hardly-present sister, the annoying younger sister, the girl you go out with before you meet the love of your life. Feeling like an extra in your own life is not fun, but she realized that there is only one constant in her predicament and it was her. 

If anything was going to change for her, she would have to change. So she made a resolution: to do the things she won't normally do.

It was when she started on this quest to push herself to do things she normally wouldn't that she meets Harry. An awkward chance encounter that quickly grew into an undeniable attraction. And Harry, with his outrageous stunts and youtube popularity, that something Alex would've never thought she'd go for.

THE FEELINGS WE NEVER PLANNED  by queenksas123
13 parts Ongoing
[⚠️ This story runs parallel to Melodies on a Canvas. For full context, please read that book first or some key chapters. I will mention those key chapters inside the author note in the book.] ANNA LORRAINE - a focused and serious assistant manager at work. Poised. Composed. Locked in. She solves problems with a cool calm and quiet elegance. Outside of work? That's a whole different story. She's dramatic, chaotic, and will go to wild lengths for the people she loves. ALEX ANDERSON - a famous event planner who manages events without a single flaw, like he's just styling his hair. Cool, serious, a little arrogant. He doesn't tolerate mistakes-not at work. But off-duty? He does a full 180. He's sarcastic, chaotic, tells bad jokes, and lives to pass up funny comments. So what happens when the two of them are forced to work together? Both headstrong. Both allergic to errors. One refuses to take criticism. The other is smug and thrives on pushing buttons. One thing's for sure: There will be arguments. There will be banter. And there will absolutely be "I can't stand this person" energy. But when their past starts to catch up with them, will either of them be willing to get vulnerable? Follow the journey of Anna and Alex as they go from "I can't stand you" to "you're bearable enough to have a forever." ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ STARTED:- 3 AUGUST 2025 END:- ?
Wish from a Shooting Star (Larry Stylinson) by 1dl4rry
32 parts Complete Mature
"I said I love you," he repeats, this time softer, not as a yell anymore. A single tear streaks down the other boy's cheek when he shrugs his shoulders. "I wished you would." - Harry is a 16 year old boy who's always been the easiest target for everyone. After his friend Niall introduces him to Louis, few things go wrong. Harry falls in love with the wrong gender. Accepting it is one thing, but dealing with the consequences is another. And suddenly, he's 14 again, sitting on the cold bathroom floor. All he wishes for is to get what he deserves. Except he's not sure what that is yet. Louis, on the other hand, has recently gotten out of his first ever relationship and had to switch schools right away because of his ex. It surely had some impact on him, definitely not the best one ever. He struggles with his emotions. And maybe worries too much when it comes to money. But the second he lays his blue eyes on the curly haired boy, there's a spark of hope. That maybe someone might actually love him for him. Which is all he's ever wished for. Will their wishes come true? - 194,2k words. TW: Contains themes some readers might find difficult.

Alex is your typical high school kid. He isn't exactly popular, but he gets good grades and has some pretty great friends. Then one day, a new kid comes to school and he will change Alex's way of thinking, forever. Jack is the new kid in school, well the new kid in town. He moved here with his mom to get away from his problems and his old high school. Will Alex help Jack face his fears and get rid of the problems that haunt him, or make them worse than before? It was simply by coincidence that these two met. Alex and Jack will change each others lives, but the question is, for the better or for the worse? ----- I, of course, don't own anyone from All Time Low! (No matter how much I wish I did!) Everything written in this story is from my own mind, none of this actually happened. I also do not own any songs, items, or places that might be mentioned in this story. However, I do own this story. *Warning* Possible Smut and Self-Harm! Also if I make any spelling/grammar mistakes I'm very sorry. I'm not going to go back in and fix everything. I'm just way too lazy for that. Hope you enjoy it anyways! :) ©2015-2080 *2018 Update Note!!!!* This is the first story I ever wrote. It's crap, I honestly think it's crap. Some people like it, some people love it, I personally don't. The chapters are short and I'm sure there are tons of mistakes, but I re-uploaded it anyways because I was asked to. This is your warning. ^.^

A girl with no house, no past, no place to belong. All she had was herself and the mystery that lingered about her existence. She's forgettable, unable survive in Hogwarts with her timidness, and too focused on trying to remove any sort of attention on herself. She's just not interesting to them and it allowed people to say whatever they wanted to say about her. You can even say that she's just another background character in the sea of Hogwarts students. Unfortunately for her, her desperation for trying to move herself from the spotlight only intrigued some people. They wanted to know who she was, they wanted to know what makes her tick, they wanted to know what makes her smile, they wanted to know how she survives, they wanted to know if she reciprocates love, They wanted to know how to break her. Because you see, some obsessions don't start loud. They start calculated. ─── ⋆⋅ ❤︎ ⋅⋆ ─── ☾↠ Artwork of the cover is drawn by: monaca_vol on X ☾↠ Harry Potter is written by J.K. Rowling.

highest ranking || #4 on teenfiction || #5 on romance || #2 on new adult || #1 on humor ********************************** I walked outside, found my Uber, and got in the backseat. "Hello." I greeted, before proceeding to tell my driver about the house address. However, I couldn't really do that because as the driver turned around to face me, I realized that Oh! It's Aaron Owens! OH MY GOD. *********************************** Ellie Rosell. Casual teenager trying to get through high school by watching Netflix, eating, spending her money on concerts, and swooning over hot guys. Just when Ellie thought she'll spend her last year of hell known as school with the same boring routine, she met Aaron Owens. And from down there, things changed. For sure. Did they change for the better? Since she's actually making friends, going out, and dare she says, falling in love? Or for the worse? With family secrets, mental health issues, heartbreak, and fake people? After all, she met the one and only Aaron Owens, and he changed her life. *********************************** "Oh my gosh! Author! reading this story was just... I have no words. The adventure you took me on was just dreamy. You made me laugh out loud so hard and you also made me cry. You made me feel the second-hand embarrassments that Ellie felt and it was so lively. You made me feel as if I was Ellie and you gave me hope that I could one day feel the same way as Ellie did towards Aaron. And all of these reasons is why your book is one of the best books I've ever read and let me tell you I've read a lot of books. Thanks for the journey and the hope you have given me! Keep being amazing!"~Layoreo08 *********************************** Started : November, 22nd - 2017. Finished : May, 3rd - 2020.

~~"What do you think you're doing?" George breathed out, barely audible to any ears but their own. Smirking behind his mask and maintaining their close proximity, Dream moved them some more to the music. "You gave yourself away...George."~~ What is a Prince, but a title? What is a flower, but a plant? What is Dream's life, but stagnant. Dream expects this year's Starlight festival to be the same as every year, a testament to his very uneventful life as a member of royal society. However, a chance encounter with a unknown stranger in his garden gives him hope for more in his life. Little do they know that the other is the ailment to their respective loneliness, and that destiny has more planned for them than they realise. (or a fic where dream is a prince who is unsatisfied with his life because he only does what he's supposed to do, and george is an ambassador from another country who gets to know the prince anonymously through their talks in the garden. just two rich boys who want something to give their life meaning, and this start of their story is gonna be the gateway to what they want most. They have yet to be part of a greater adventure) -Howdy folks, it's yourfauxentropy here and I have another story for you. this is the first in the 'Of Vermillion Heralds' series im writing rn Author Notes/Disclaimer: this is a fic based on their mc characters and thus all descriptions are of their characters but if any of the content creators in this know about it and want me to take this down then i will do that asap just leave a comment letting me know.

"Why are you asking me these questions?" I say, I can feel a panic attack coming on. I close my eyes taking a deep breath in and a deep breath out. I don't care how stupid I look. I don't want to have a panic attack in front of him, I've never had a panic attack in front of anyone before. "Well I can tell how anxious you are," he states, pointing to my shaking hands. "And I thought maybe I can help distract from whatever is making you so nervous. Are you like this all the time or is it just me?" he continues. "No, trust me it's not you, I'm like this all the time," I say, my voice now shaking. I feel like I could cry. ~ ~ ~ Leah Davis is a very anxious girl.
