❝ My love for him was like a riptide- a strong current leading into the catastrophic disturbance of both of our lives.❞
Asher Collins has really done it now-
Sick of his rural life in Alaska, his dream to live in the city of big lights is seemingly crushed when he lands himself in the town jail- the exact place he was trying to get away from. Technically, it wasn't even his fault that he was in jail, it was his dim-witted, testosterone driven friend who did it.
Regardless of whose fault it is, Asher is stuck in jail until who knows when. When the sheriff proposes the ultimatum of working off his debt by helping the family living a few miles away or stay and rot in jail until he is released, the opportunity to leave is too good for Asher to pass up.
Rosemary Patterson doesn't have time to worry about the man that the sheriff says will help her. She's gotten along taking care of her two younger siblings without her parents just fine-that is until a tree lands on her house from an Alaskan blizzard.
Asher plans to work off his debt during the winter before booking a plane ticket straight out of this hell hole. It's all simple until he meets Rosemary.
Even though Asher seems to have no recollection of ever meeting her before, Rose remembers him all too well.
This time, Rose is determined to guard her heart better than she did two years ago after that incident with Asher. The fact that Asher doesn't remember her shouldn't even bother her, it will only help her move on from the past- at least that's what she tells herself.
Besides, if he didn't even remember her as the girl whose heart he broke, how hard could it be to spend this winter with him?

You're Like Heaven to Touch
"You don't really like to open up, do you?" The words startle me, seemingly jagged and impure in contrast to the light and beautiful atmosphere we were in. "I didn't say that." Asher snorted, "You didn't have to." I was quiet for a moment, looking out to the beach and resting my cheek on my knee. "It- It's not that I don't like to," I struggled to find the words good enough to explain. "I just think, maybe, I don't know how to anymore." Asher stares at me for a moment, eyes filled with an emotion that I can't put my finger on. I turn to face him properly, almost gasping when he appears much closer than I remembered. Before I can turn the moment into a joke, he speaks. "Well, if you ever want to learn again, I'll always be right here, Willa. I'm always right here." * Willa Montgomery didn't expect to be uprooted for her last summer before college, but two weeks in, here she is: Santa Monica, California. Willa hasn't had the best life as of recent, and with the impending damage of her parents messy divorce getting harder and harder to avoid, her mom decides the best place for her to be is anywhere but home. Enter Sylvia Edwards, Willa's mother's best friend since middle school, and Willa's godmother. Sylvia is more than glad to host Willa for the entire summer, opening up her beautiful home to her immediately. And with that beautiful home comes the beautiful Asher Edwards, and a whole bunch of memories Willa wasn't even aware she had. Living in a house with Asher, the sweetest yet most persistent guy to exist is both heartwarming and dangerous all at once, because soon enough, the barriers Willa spent years building around her fragile heart are coming down- and fast. Willa had never realized how frozen she was until Asher started to melt her ice. With eyes like oceans, a smile like honey and a touch like heaven. cover by @stylesoftimothee

Maybe
An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different." Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine. I averted my gaze, pretending to look around. "Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect. But Ethan-a popular boy who never focused on anyone but her-was the object of her hatred. He was always there, always keeping her safe. He used to annoy her endlessly. She hated him deeply. Until she didn't. For a while, she was content with her high school experience. That is, until something mysterious turned her world upside down. Forced to move to a new city, Nina had to cut ties with everyone she once knew. Eight years later, fate brings her face-to-face with him again. "Ethan..." He's the key to everything-the truths she never knew. When she was lost in the dark, he always held the light. But now, things are different. She despises him. He's colder than ever. Or perhaps she fears him. Fears that he'll leave her again. Will their lives ever return to normal after everything they've endured? "Maybe?" "Maybe yes. Maybe no?" --- Started: 8 November 2021 Ended: 19 December 2022 Rewritten: December 2024 --- ### Rankings Goals So Far: #1 Adolescente #1 given up #1 blinddates #1 pretend #10 twistedromance #50 high school romance --- ### Notice: This is my first published story, and it contains numerous grammatical errors and bad editing.

Mischief in Starling [Stackson]
Stiles is done. He can't take being in Beacon Hills anymore. At every turn, new chaos awaits. On every street corner he is reminded of all the pain, all the loss he had to go through. He feels guilty whenever he sees the hurt on Scott's face and he knows, he's thinking of Allison. They say none of it was his fault, but Stiles can see the truth in their eyes. They blame him almost as much as he blames himself. It's tearing him apart and every minute longer in that godforsaken town weighs heavier on his heart. Come the next pack meeting and he knows, he is done. Deciding that Jackson had the right idea in going as far away as possible, he packs his things and moves to a cute little apartment in Starling City. It's not a carefree town by any meens, but here, an entirely different group of people is there to protect the town. For once, it's not Stiles' job to save anyone and at last he can breathe again. That is until a mysterious force starts to bubble up inside him and he finds himself confronted with a whole new understanding of himself. One attack on his life later and he finds himself face to face with blue eyes that he never thought he'd see again. Of course he would never admit that even covered by a mask, only the eyes visible, Stiles would know that face anywhere. Hello, pups. This story won't actually have a big bad. It's mostly fluff and relationships. The focus is solely on Stackson and their evolution. Of course there will be some fighting, considering we're following a group of vigilantes. Other than that we mostly have some emotional conflict. I hope you enjoy :) G'night, pups.Dokončeno
Somewhere Between Us
"Loving you is exhausting and hard. Give me a freaking break." he said. "Then why are you still here?", she whispered with a pale and trembling voice, holding back the tears that were willing to fall down her cheeks. Laura never wanted to fall in love with someone she couldn't touch - someone who only existed behind a screen, a voice borne by time zones and poor connections. But Evan made distance seem hazardous. He made every silence burn. "You could've stopped talking to me." she said to him once. "I tried," he said. "You just wouldn't leave my fucking head." Somewhere in between their late-night phone calls and the words they never spoke, something real started to take shape - delicate, wrong, and beautiful. But love such as theirs was going to shatter. It was constructed on waiting, on jealousy, on all the things they couldn't have. And maybe that's the cruelest kind of love - the kind that feels infinite, but ends the moment you wake up. Until Aiden walked in - the man who was real, present, and everything Evan couldn't be. Aman who had actually been beside her even when she broke his heart, even when she drifted away to chase someone who made her heart ache in ways she never imagined. "He doesn't deserve you. please wake up Lau." Aiden told her. "Then why does it still feel like he's the one?" she whispered. "You're crazy." Somewhere between what she wanted and what she needed, Laura lost control. Between time zones and heartbreak, between messages and memories, something between them had shattered. Because sometimes, love doesn't ask you to choose between two people - it asks you to choose which part of yourself you're willing to destroy.
