We'll Meet Again | ✓ by seaofgreen

By her twentieth birthday, there are a few things Valarie Ricci knows for certain. She knows that her waitressing job barely covers the costs of living out of a beat up old van. She knows she's stuck in the dead end hometown her high school friends have all moved on from. She knows that, after spending her teenage years as his caretaker, her grandfather is gone. And she knows that it's her fault. She also knows that Alice Bell, an ex-girlfriend with a dark past and bad habits, broke her heart two years ago. When Alice barges back into Valarie's life and invites her on a cross-country road trip to chase the ghost of Alice's missing sister, Valarie doesn't know what to do - and she really doesn't know why she says yes. But before Valarie has any hope of figuring out why Alice is seeing ghosts, she must learn how to confront her own grief, including the turmoil that tore the two of them apart so long ago. ⭐️ FEATURED by @StoriesUndiscovered and @WattpadLitFic ⭐️

Curiosity killed the cat. Or at least that's what a young ghost woman, Grey, tells herself everyday, feeling the same tug to know more about the human world. There's only one problem: the lights. The same lights that has made her kind extinct and has made her avoid any humans in her building. She's managed to balance her survival instincts and her curiosity for so long. But one day she makes a single error that brings her closer to a human than she ever wanted to be. Now she'll have to give up the life she's made for herself or fight the light to save her home. Let sleeping dogs lie. That's what college dropout Justin tells himself everyday, ignoring the issues piling up in his life. He's made it work this long. But one day he comes across something totally out of place in his world, and it's only the first of many. Now he has to either accept there's a stalker living in his house, or that his mind is unraveling. They're both running out of time. * ONC 2022 LONGLISTER ONC Prompts used: 64, 70 **Credit to @stella_vigo for the amazing, beautiful cover! **Credit to @ladyloki34 for the lovely lovely chapter banner!

When a dark situation leads Theo to the quiet village of Eden's Gate, where the residents are odd and the pool of friends severely lacking, he's less than thrilled. The town is a miserable means to an end. And, to make matters even worse, he's pretty sure the house is haunted.

And then his favourite resident goes and dies, the house is given to new people, and Sam discovers - quite by accident - that the boy sleeping in his room can see him. And he is the only one who can help Sam solve his murder. ───── • ⋆⋅⛧⋅⋆ • ───── Status: Complete Story length: 40,000 words ONC 2023 Prompt: • They were not real, everyone told me they were not real.
