Ro (A Cyberpunk Retelling of Romeo and Juliet) by FaeWhit

"I'm not star-crossed. Not unless you cross me." Ro is a Montague who killed her father to inherit the drug-running business and their considerable stash of bio-tech. Jules is the heir to the Capulet Casino and the single rose of the blood-stained, rotting streets of New Verona who wants to escape their captive world. But will the rose smell as sweet if Ro steals them away? *** Two crime lords, both alike in villainy, In New Verona, where we lay our scene, From older murder leads to new misery, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From the delinquencies of these two foes A pair of star-cross'd felons take their fight; Whose misadventured bio-tech overthrows Do with much death bury their parents' might. Let the tech war into brothels, casinos, and fatal masquerades, And in the shadows of the city's cruel rage, Aside from their vendetta's end, nothing could remove, Turn now your consciences from this page; The which if you, with patient eyes attend, The past is gone, this dark future we must end.

His Irish Love | Thomas Barrow by SpectralInk

Jessie Buckley, celebrated Irish actress and singer, had just wrapped filming Wicked Little Letters. But when a strange accident transports her to the 1920s, Jessie finds herself not on a film set, but living in the very real world of Downton Abbey-a world that is only fiction. To her astonishment, the Crawley family and their devoted servants are no characters on a script; they're flesh and blood, carrying out their lives in the grandeur of the grand estate. With no way to return to her own time, Jessie must adapt to the intricacies of Edwardian life. Stripped of her modern career and identity, she reinvents herself as a Lady of the house, all while concealing the truth of her origins. At first, Jessie feels like an outsider, caught between the rigid hierarchy upstairs and the vibrant lives of the servants below. But as she learns to navigate the elaborate social codes of Downton, she forms an unlikely bond with Thomas Barrow, the enigmatic first footman whose guarded demeanor hides a longing for acceptance and love. What begins as a friendship between two lonely souls soon blossoms into something deeper. Jessie, drawn to Thomas's vulnerability and resilience, finds herself falling for a man she once thought existed only in history. As their connection grows, Jessie faces an impossible choice: fight to return to the life and career she's known, or embrace a new existence-and a timeless love-in the past.

Another Chance (gxg) by ElleErikamae

Alex Wu needs to fulfill 40 hours of community service in order to graduate. Enter math tutoring. She meets Serena Chang, a girl she hates because in her words "she's too preppy". After unfortunate family ties, and undeniable feelings cause them to question their feelings, the two must make a decision. Let things go or give it another chance. Intro: I love Serena Chang One thing was for sure. A lot has happened. Let me start. I was never one to proclaim my love in such brazen way, but one has to wonder how it came to this, with me etching the phrase onto a table using a dulled-out scissor I had no use for, until now. It started like all common unrequited love stories. A meet-cute. Our meeting however, was not in the slightest cute.

Through the Pines by IgnobleArchitect

Carthage soars at its zenith; Boston crawls at its nadir. Both cities are caught by the inertia of fate, or else the inexorable chaos of a random universe. A predator from the void stalks them, and it falls (somehow) to Abigail Wolfe to hold it at bay. If Abigail weren't a scholar, she'd be a delinquent, or so her parents joke. She loves them to death, but they've gotten in bed (not literally, gross) with an information broker, of all people. Don't they watch the news? An info broker across the continent just orchestrated a nightclub massacre, and he would have gotten away with it if his lover hadn't narc'ed. Not that Abby's one to talk - she's got a crush on an info broker's daughter. It seems like these brokers have their grubby fingers in every pie, and sooner or later, someone's bound to get killed. It could be worse: she could be living on Earth. Earth, where gangs vie over what's left of the cities, and cannibals pepper the wilderness. Earth, where they worship the heterochromatic Prophetess, and where a three-legged dog with yellow eyes stands vigil over the night. It's a shit-show over there, what with radiation from the fallout (to say nothing of the demons). Info brokers and shadow games or not, Abby's much better off on the colony world of Angel Falls - but when all is said and done, she might not have any say in the matter.

Driven to Distraction by _cxloe

Alex Thompson was due to marry her high school sweet heart Eric Ramirez. Period. That's it. It's about as exciting as her life ever got really. She had a job, a good job but an unconscious reality was that she was bored. She had her back blown out once every three months, if that, and an overbearing mother who made her life hell. *enter Mitch* Eve 'Mitch' Mitchell. An outgoing, strong minded, independent, raging homosexual, lover to all, charming British soul. They meet by accident after a tough day at the office for Alex. A mistaken identity was all it took for a tiny little kiss. A moment blown all out of proportion for the Christian-bred Miss Thompson and her life turns more miserable than she anticipated for every time she turned around...Mitch was there behind her. Something about Mitch was new and fresh and her soul was just what Alex needed (little did she know). Secrets from the past are brought to the surface. A sad ending to a young lady's life. A realisation that family isn't always blood related. Alcohol isn't a medicine. Violence isn't a key. Hearts were never meant to be broken. Two things to take away: you never know what is going on in someone's head and the most important thing...you never know what happens behind closed doors. A/N just a random story about two people who meet accidentally. Plays with gender norms and very inclusive of LGBTQ (being a member myself). Could be triggering I'm not sure as some identity questions are thrown around. It does include smoking, drinking, some homophobia, profanities, violence and smut. Also anything in brackets with A/N means authors note and that's just me leaving a little comment. Enjoy...

Inevitable by anonymously_anon

Emily Viviana McCall belongs to a huge family with crazy siblings, and even crazier relatives. After spending a month in Chicago with her favourite gay uncles who also happen to be her best friend, she has to join back the world of reality. Her kinda non-existent romantic life becomes a little complicated when she's forced to make a rational choice between her boss whom she has been seeing for a few months and a person she never imagined being involved with. No matter how much and how far you want to run away, or how deep you want to dig a hole to stay in the state of denial - some things in life are inevitable. Follow the journey of Emily as she goes against every rule of her own, just to come to terms with the reality that sometimes life takes the opposite turn and in the battle against your mind and heart, the latter always wins. completed: 22.01.21

Rascals by Stvp1d_Em0K1d

A story of a runaway heartbeat and the found family it dragged along. They move from place to place-half-lost, half-chosen-chasing quiet, hiding from the noise. It started with one girl trying to outrun the truth her family fed her, and grew into a mismatched group of escapees: her best friend, a boyfriend, two internet ghosts, and later, the ones who took the place of those who left. But people don't always stay. Sometimes they leave with a note. Sometimes they don't say anything at all. And sometimes... they come back. What happens when someone you loved left you for what they thought was your good-only to return when the damage's been done? What happens when grief makes room for someone new? And how do you know when the road you're running is finally home? --- Content Warning: •Themes of death, grief, abandonment •Found family & trauma bonding •Emotional and psychological triggers •Intimate/suggestive scenes (light smut)

Time & Tide - Original Wattpad Version by JmFrey

2019 WATTY AWARD WINNER | TO BE PUBLISHED BY 'W BY WATTPAD' IN FALL 2024 Jessie is a twenty first century kinda gal stuck in the Regency Era. Armed with a new university degree and a plane ticket to Paris, the plan was to celebrate graduation in the City of Love, kissing as many drunk French girls (or boys, she's not picky) as she can. Only, she never makes it. Mid-Atlantic, a mysterious accident sends Jessie hurtling to what should be a watery grave. Rescued from the ocean, Jessie is lucky to be alive. Only problem? The crew of the ship she's on is convinced it's a sailing vessel that just narrowly missed out on participating in the Battle of Trafalgar. Stuck in Regency-era England, Jessie is left with no choice but to enter into the services of as a maid and companion in return for what shelter her new employer can provide, and resign herself to a life of quiet servitude and forever hiding her sexuality. What she didn't count on was that her new boss would be Margaret Goodenough - the world famous authoress whose yet-to-be-completed novel was the first lesbian kiss in the history of British Literature, and a clever woman. Clever enough to know her new servant has a secret. Now Jessie is caught. Margaret's own perception of her place in society is transforming, the text of her novel is slowly changing, and Margaret herself is finally unafraid to embrace her own Sapphic desires. Margaret - and her main characters - are turning into irresistibly headstrong and modern women. Jessie must tread the tenuous line between finding her own happiness in a world where she is alone, and accidentally changing the course of history. Should Jessie suppress the manuscript, or is her duty to the woman she's learning to love? What is a twenty first century gal to do? * Cover Photo: Jenn LeBlanc & Getty Images Original Cover by: @RodneyVSmith
