Everyone thinks she is just a mechanic, but secretly she partners with an underground plastic surgeon. She helps people by disfiguring their pretty faces.

When the squads find out about the doctor, he runs. Kennedy is good at her work, but she can't do it alone. She takes on an assistant she doesn't realize he has secrets in his past, secrets that start to attract attention.

Why don't you believe?" I ask whilst clenching the cross necklace that laid around my neck. "God has the ability to heal the world so if he exists why doesn't he? Why does he let innocent people suffer just to spite the ones doing wrong? Why would he leave two young boys motherless and then parentless? Why does character building mean going through shit?" Holden's voice cracks and I see his lips quiver, he looks away avoiding my gaze. In that moment I knew he needed comforting and sometimes that doesn't mean words, so I laid my head on his shoulder and took his hand in mine letting him know if all else goes wrong, I'll always be there for him. __________________________________ Addison Mills just had her life turned upside down, from the death of her mother to leaving the only home she's ever known and Micah, the man she loved. Things look bleek until Holden Daze , an adrenalin junkie that moonlights as the perfect southern gentleman becomes her safe haven in a unfamiliar place. As the two try to navigate their way through senior year, hidden truths begin to surface and dark forces dare to tear them apart. Will their bond be strong enough to overcome life's challenges? Or will this be another tradegy added to the history books?

Here Comes the Sun (Complete) by Kcx245

Toby was never good at reading people or understanding certain signs -- so of course, he wouldn't be the one to realize when someone actually wanted to return his affections. It usually took more than just a sign for him, but he could be a fast learner sometimes. Sometimes. A TobyxTimxBrian story, cause we need more of these on here. If you like this one, I've written and finished the 'prequel' called Tear In My Heart and a sequel called Glad You Came, so go check that out when you can!

Beauty and The Beast (𝓑𝓸𝓴𝓾𝓪𝓴𝓪) by iTsOnLyMe_654

"To King Bokuto, mega jerk-face, picky bastard, Ha! I turned you into a beast on the outside, like you are on the inside! Sorry about your friends btw. Their fault for being too kind and waiting around for you I guess. Now, this is the point where I tell you how to un-beastify yourself, right? Well... I really don't want to... But sure. As of now, you are rude, selfish, unlovable etc. on the inside. You look that way on the outside. If you can make anyone fall in love with you, the curse will be lifted, and everyone will be back to normal. There's another catch though, you need to do this before this rose wilts and dies. Don't worry, it's a special rose! I estimate you have about 4 years to find love. Hope you suffer, Oikawa the Karma Witch!" Note: I don't own Haikyuu, or Beauty and the beast, all that's mine is the words of this story.

Shit. That's how Derrick's life was going after the accident. Hazy memories and scars he didn't need were splintering what was left of what he did remember. Derrick's tattoo shop seemed to get along just fine without him, his magic abilities were short circuiting and for the first time in his life, he wasn't sure who he was anymore. Not to mention some guy named Mike insisted that they were best friends before he lost his memory. As if he'd be friends with someone who breathed positivity. The only thing Derrick wants to focus on right now is recovery and finding himself. But life, also known as Mike, keeps getting in the way. Completed January 13, 2019. Genre: MM soft magic romance with some angst and a hurt/comfort slant.
