Novella about two near strangers who drunkenly agree to get married and move in together. 

Each has their own motivation to fight for the couple, but when old flames come to light and frustrations arise, the two must decide wether their blossoming love is worth fighting for, and if the hardships their agreement brings outweighs the consequences of them not being together anymore. Through 9/11 and a  particularly trying health crises, they begin to lean on each other, both literally and figuratively. 

He needs a citizenship to stay in the country. Her mother will stop paying for her studies unless she "settles down" and gets married soon. His prodigal self lives in books, and she works for the wife of her estranged Ex-boyfriend, first love and soulmate, with whom sparks still fly. 

Will they make it?

--------------

btw the ex is not like a creepy mafia dude or you know... THAT type of protagonist ex-bf. he's an exceedingly sweet man, a college teacher, a loving father of eight. it's a heartwarming story ok lmao

also there isn't really that much sexual content, but I put the mature rating because there are profanities and gore and discussions of death, murder, amputations, and other things that I think kids should avoid lmao.

My goal with this was to end on a particularly heartwrenching note.

43 parts Complete Mature
Jacob, an abusive, jealous, and manipulative man, just cannot seem to impress his ex in front of his new partner. Rather, he can't win him back. In the City of New Lunadia, where people are hybrids of humans and "spirits" such as wolves, zombies, or elemental forces of nature, there are two of them who's lives are about to change. Elli Fox, a 21-year old telepathic vampire who is also a famous popstar, Sunny Fox, Elli's wife, a 21-year old shadow spirit with powers of infliction, teleportation, and increased strength, and Noah Woodson, a 21-year-old empath with the power of light manipulation and creation. They were highschool friends who hadn't seen each other since college. One day, they bump into eachother at a party. Noah uses whatever chance he gets to tell Elli about everything, but also, to confess about how he truly feels about his friend. Elli and Sunny keep him their little secret. Elli loves Noah so much and wouldn't wanna see him get hurt. But it doesn't stay a secret for long. Hearts are broken, sparks fly, and most importantly, fists are thrown. This story will occasionally be edited, as I may not like how things sound over time. I am progressively getting better at writing smut. If you read this book again and notice some changes, don't worry! I'm just trying to make it better. I wrote this about a year ago and I have grown a lot since then. This book contains LGBTQIA+ relationships, people, and detailed sexual scenes. If you are against the LGBTQIA, i suggest you read another book and leave no hate. Because you don't have to. Thank you!

Brave Enough To Love Again  by CalliopeBlythe

I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch. The enormity of control it took me to suppress the impulse to eradicate the piece of scum, who dared to even think about laying a hand on a woman, was inconceivable. My whole body was trembling with rage. The guy was intimidated by the fury in my eyes and stumbled back to his intoxicated friends who were too dazed to understand the situation. I was disappointed and relieved at the same time that the chaos didn't end in a fist fight. When I turned around to console her, she was gone. And as I looked around, I saw her back just leaving the bar through the entrance. I hurried out to follow her. She walked ahead of me aimlessly and disoriented like a wounded animal that had just escaped the claws of death. My heart ached for her. I found a kindred soul in her. She evidently had been wounded in the past. Just like me. But in an even worse way than I had been hurt, and it angered me, that someone had dared to harm her. *** Eden Marie Simmons is still recovering after escaping an abusive relationship when she meets Keane, the broody and enigmatic neighbor who is shrouded in mystery.

Life challenges them both with secrets, lies, and broken trusts, and confronts them with their pasts. They both must learn to be brave enough to love again. *** Story is previously called "Paradise Lies"

{The Sequel to: The New Boy} "Don't get his momma involved." I hear you but seriously, your hand giving me goosebumps and making my pulse rate escalate so will you take it off my face before my joints weaken? • "I'm not letting you go until you tell me." Trust me, I'd like that. But I shouldn't like it. He waited and waited until I gave in. I blamed his eyes, there was something about them that got me to do anything he wanted. It's like they hypnotized me. It scared me because it was both a good and a bad thing, it could drive me to my greatest doom and a pot of gold at the same time. He could tell me to jump into a pit of fire and just stare at me with those eyes and I would jump. Either way, no fire would burn as much as the fire he created in me. I was like the marshmallow and he was the fire that heated it. It would hurt in the process but the outcome would be worth it. • The love triangle drama between Kylie, Elle and Henry continues to unfold in this sequel. Can Elle keep up with hiding her feelings? Can Kylie read between the lines? Does Henry end up falling for Kylie? All your answers will be answered in this sequel. Enjoy! --- written and completed: 2020
