Mack's just trying to survive high school. Not being able to decide on a college major, being a good best friend, and hiding from her always-disappointed mother are all time-consuming enough... and she thinks she's finally gotten a handle on things. But when she and her friends find a pirate ship in the middle of a landlocked lakeshore, things really start to go off the rails: her best friend's little brother professes his undying love and then mysteriously runs away; Mack gets shade from the entire town for being the babysitter-on-duty when it happened; her best friend stops talking to her, and Mack's parents force her into therapy to "talk about it" before she leaves for college... and *right* as the freedom of adulthood is within her reach, one of the souvenirs from the pirate ship starts acting weird and strands her *in the future*!
Now, she's stuck helping to recover displaced artifacts from up and down the timeline, putting them all back before paradoxes rip the universe apart... She liked history, but she never thought she'd be living it!
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I started writing this story in 2015. This is the first time I've dug back into it in about five years, really, so I know it needs a lot of updating in the "modern" scenes. (I'm catching some pre-#metoo mentality, and the lingo doesn't fit, etc. Don't worry, I won't be offended if you flag things like that that you notice, since I know it needs work!) Thanks in advance for any comments, as I thrive on feedback and am desperate to finish telling Mack's story (or, really, begin! lol)...

Blurb for book 1: 𝐃𝐘𝐋𝐀𝐍 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐒 I messed up - I messed up in typical Dylan fashion because I could never stand up to my Dad, I just couldn't be the Alpha that I was meant to be, that my older brother would have been proud of. 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. Our bond ended with my mistake but our story began with my redemption.Завершенная история
Scholar
[COMPLETED] [Warning: Strong language used throughout the book.] He put his hand over my notebook and the other over mine. I glared up at him, his golden brown eyes catching my attention. "I can't write like this," I pointed out. "Is this all you care about?" Ryan asked. I shrugged. "Not this specifically, but yeah, I care about my grades." Ryan smirked. I swallowed nervously but refused to break my stoic expression. He leaned closer to me, my heart pounding so hard against my chest it felt like it might break out and fall on the table between us. His mouth was right by my ear, and I could feel his warm breath when he spoke which sent shivers down my spine. "Well, aren't you a little a scholar?" *** The only things Alex Moris ever cared about were his grades and his sister. However, when the boy his sister likes, Ryan Smithe, makes things complicated and causes him to feel things he's never felt before, Alex realizes that, maybe, there's more important things in life than grades and scholarships.

It was gentle and soft, something I never expected from a guy like him. He moved his right hand from my cheek to my waist, tugging me against him, and molded our bodies together. A wave of electricity went down to my core when he licked my lips. "Open your mouth, Bella." His commanding husky voice against my lips jolted my heart, and I followed his order like a slave. With no control, a moan erupted from my throat as his tongue met mine. It was barely audible, but I knew he heard it when he smiled against my lips.

At that moment, I didn't need drugs to know what being high felt like because his lips were enough to send me on nine clouds. Just once and I was addicted to it.

The Beginning Of Us
A series of books, it consists of 3 books starting with 2 childhood friends who are female and male protagonists, they become friends because their parents attended to the same college and still are friends...the 1st book is about childhood and pre-teen years,2nd book is for teenage years and college years and the last book is on their adult age.so my idea is that in childhood the boy and girl are both into studies (nerds) but the girl is extremely beautiful and gorgeous. But with time they get out of their shells and she becomes the most popular girl in middle school and then onwards...but the boy still is the same loser like a nerd but he's the one who truly loves the girl while everyone else loves her to be with her, for her attention and "a piece of that cake" in their own words. But whenever she needs help or when she's wasted or drunk the nerdy childhood boy is the one who gets her home and takes care of her and she has never even uttered a word of thank you. She doesn't even know how he feels about the pretty girl...in high school and college she pretty much gets wasted but somehow ends up as a doctor...After so many years they meet again at one of their parent's events hosted by one of their parents...the boy has changed into a real gentleman...A successful businessman and he takes care of her the same way he always did since childhood....finally the pretty girl starts falling for him and a beautiful love story unfolds with a few rough edges...Завершенная история
Love in Reverse
When a young princess finds out her mother is revoking her father's promise of finding love on her own and will enter an arranged marriage, she flees to the safety of her best friend. Only her best friend is a prince and a charmingly sweet one at that who goes out of his to way help her. How is it she's been oblivious of her feelings towards him all these years? Until now? Does he feel the same? Will Beck save her from having to face her destiny, or will he become her destiny? Nobody knows that answer but Beck himself, right? ׂ╰┈➤ This is the beginning of a romantasy ship that my friend and I have been working on since 2021. Together we've built an entire world, families, friendships and ships. We've decided to bring one of our favourites here to you! Please keep in mind this is essentially a roleplay, so it won't read as a book, and it will be rough and may criss cross back and fourth from time to time as it has been going over the course of three years. We are merely posting this for our own satisfaction and know it is nowhere near perfect storytelling, but we are honored to anyone who takes the time to look into a snippet of our world and characters, and hope that Beck and Sybil can bring you joy as they have to us! (And yes we are still continuing them!) Sybil Venilia is written by themfprincess and Beck Erato is written by myself, CaptnSavvy. We envision the likes of Sybil appearing as Taylor Hill and Beck Erato as Austin Butler.Завершенная история

You just don't want to admit it. - Yeah, that's it. I said sarcastically. Even for a million Galleons, I'd never date you. You're disgusting, Riddle. - Well, let's see how much I disgust you, Princess. I've got a proposition. We're gonna play a game. Here are the rules : the first one of us to fall in love with the other loses. We can flirt, kiss, even fuck each other, no strings attached. Are you in, or are you afraid to lose to my natural beauty ? - I'm already the winner, Riddle. - We'll see, Wilson. - Okayyyy ! This is gonna be interesting... Game's on, everyone ! Theodore added, practically cheering. ~~ Tessa Wilson, born into a Death Eater family, is entering her sixth year at Hogwarts. But this year won't just test her skills, it will shatter her certainties. Her biggest challenge? Her own mind. Her confusion. The feelings she's afraid of. Mattheo Riddle, heir to a cursed name, is trouble wrapped in charm and arrogance. Love ? He doesn't know it. Doesn't trust it. Doesn't want it. They'll hate. They'll bet. They'll play. They'll hurt. But will they learn how to love? Hate will bind them. Love might break them. But nothing will leave them unscarred. ⚠️TW : explicit sexual scenes, cursing, bad mental health, self harm, bullying, torture⚠️ I'll put a ♤ whenever there's hot fluff or smutt. Don't stop on the first chapters ! My writing gets better by the time and the story too since I started it more than a year ago. this is JK ROLLING'S universe ! I only own Tessa Wilson, her life, every things that turns around her and Emily and Timothy Lerson .
