It's the little things that count. The little things that pass by without our notice. The little things that pile up quietly, slowly, and before you know it, everything changes.

Call it providence, or coincidence, or just plain good ol' luck that their paths managed to cross again after so many years.  Whatever the case may be, she was grateful for it, because without meaning to, she managed to rekindle a flame she had long thought to be extinguished. She found her way home to him, and likewise, he found her way home to her.

She had found her Catchy again.

And now, here they were, studying in a University in Lyon, France, living a few minutes away from each other. Yet no matter how things seemed to fall in place around her, she couldn't help but feel uneasy, because the universe, being what it is, is fraught with indeterminacies. The smallest things could make a world's worth of difference. Her anxieties only grew when on their last semester, Catchy decides to take a leave of absence, without so much as a single word.All Rights Reserved

The Golden 30 Last Seconds by Achieve_Greatness

The Golden 30 Last Seconds "0 minutes and 59 seconds." I say out loud. They all look at me, confused. "That's how long I have before they come. I'm sorry I didn't ell you earlier, Brook and Blake." I look at Jason who has sadness, disbelief, despair, guilt, and loneliness mixed in one on his face. I tilt my head at him. Why does he feel guilty? It's not his fault that thy are here. It's mine. But why is he angry? "Jason did you tell Brook?" He shakes his head, not meeting my gaze. I sigh. "Please tell Blake and Brook While I'm Gone." Jason's eyes snap up to mine. "Gone? Where are you going? Aren't you coming back?" He says with panic in his voice. I look at my friends one by one. "Thirty seconds." I whisper to my best friends a moment before I teleport out of the space ship.

Gravity by aimesserly

"In my 19 years of life I never really experienced anything worth telling a story about. Usually when something exciting happened to me, which was rare, I'd sum up the key parts and move on. But then I died, and I finally had a story worth talking about. Anyway, how I died isn't too exciting. Just a basic car accident. You know, icy roads, snow coming down hard, a car slides into your lane and then boom. You're standing in the street watching some guy trying to shake you alive and all you can think is, "Damn, I'm dead." Although, I'm sure you've never experienced that, or else I'd be telling you this story face to face. Anyway, that guy begging me to wake up, he's pretty important, remember him. Now, let's get to the good stuff shall we? Because in all honesty, this story isn't about me, or my death, it's about Abigail and Zac. "

The Curse Of An Alpha *MATURE* by authornikolagacek

BOOK ONE OF THE CURSED SERIES "What's your name?" His voice was a delicate murmur in her ear. "Alice," she breathed, gasping as he nipped at her lobe. Their bodies swayed to the music, ignorant of the people around them. She was falling into the abyss of this man, of his seduction and thrall. Her stomach clenched involuntarily as he breathed her name in a throaty groan. "I like that," he murmured as he trailed his tongue down her neck, nipping at the skin at the base of her throat. Alice opened her eyes at the glaring flashing lights above them. She wanted him. Gods how she wanted him... "What's your name?" She dared to ask. Her throat was dry and parched from the heat, from the man that ground his pelvis into her ass... He chuckled, fingers trailing down her right thigh, "so responsive," he murmured as she moaned, gasping for cool air. * * * When Alice seeks out a popular club in hopes of curbing the misery that 'the one that should not be named' had caused, she most certainly didn't anticipate stumbling upon a man who would rock her world in a way that 'the one that should not be named' didn't. Nevermind the prospect of stumbling upon someone who was of another species entirely. Although, she tried to forget about that part. And let's be honest here, it's not exactly easy escaping an Alpha that claims to require Alice for his survival. But like her gramps had told her- "there's nothing like a good kick to the balls." Though, that didn't quite work in her favour a year down the line. How, do you wonder? Well, it's a damn long story to tell.

The Summer of Absolutely Nothing by Sttrre

It's summer - the end of my first year of college. And I am home again, more than a little worse for the wear. College hadn't gone how I had expected it to go. After two years of the grind to get in, I thought I would find the kind of magic I saw in American high school movies, which I had been denied of in school - late nights, parties, wild adventures with whacky best friends, romance.... everything one is told is supposed to happen in one's teenage years. After two years of watching my classmates grow up and enter this world, I thought it was my turn, now. I thought my college life would be like a coming-of-age movie. But in reality? It wouldn't make a good story, of any kind - not even a sad one. The only thing I found were shiftless friends, stifling academic pressure and heartbreak. So now I was home - a little bruised, a little broken. A few dreams in shards around my feet. Turns out, I needn't have worried. The summer that followed changed my life. The summer of - after a hectic, stressful year - nothing at all. Nothing, and yet - everything.

I Need You Like You Need Me (Old Version) Being renewed by Anais_Baromeo

"Slain, take me to Campus now!" "We're going to Campus." I sighed in relief, "But later." I gaped, ready to open the door and jump out of the car but I decided against it. "Slain, please. We're not going anywhere, this, is not going anywhere. So how about, we forget the whole, I sleep with you thingy and just move on." I told him as if it was simple, but it wasn't. What we have is beyond sex and we both knew it. We just needed each other, to be close. We could just go in for sex but at the end just lay there with our clothes on just in each other's embrace. We were complicated, we both don't want commitment, we get jealous easily and we don't back down for each other. That's why we're not going anywhere.

Technicolor Beat by Scribe18

"It's like . . . you know how at the end of summer camp or college everyone packs all their stuff up and drives off before you so they can go home and reunite with family, and the whole camp is empty and you're standing in the middle of your vacant dorm because your ride isn't here yet?" ". . . Yeah?" "It's like that. Immortality is being left behind at camp alone, and you don't know why." She couldn't remember her name. Didn't really matter, plenty of substitutes available. They almost numbered the amount of years she'd been in this world. Luckily for her, there was one reason she was still here, and as soon as she figured out what the hell it was she could fix it and move on. He remembered her. And what she looked like, how she took her coffee, everything. He couldn't get her out of his head. She was his muse, a glimpse into the impossible where he may finally have something to write about. But what happens when inspiration turns into love, especially with someone who is unable to reciprocate it? Does tragedy or intimacy await them? What is destiny, really?

Into Your World by Freethoughtsss

"Has anyone ever touched you here?" My heart raced as heat surged through me. I shook my head and his hand slid lower, resting on my thigh, near my butt. "What about here, Liza?" I bit my lip, the warmth of his touch sending a jolt through me. I shook my head again, and his hand moved to my abdomen, "Here?" his gaze became intense. I gulped and shook my head. His hand continued its ascent, stopping in the center of my chest. I dragged a long breath in. "I bet nobody has ever touched you here," he murmured, his voice now husky and tinged with tension. I gulped, shaking my head again. Moving his hand up to my neck, he held it firmly from the side and yanked me closer. Our faces inches apart. "What are you doing to me, Liza?" Liza Kirby's life changes forever when she accidentally pulls Adrian Scott, a mysterious and dangerously attractive man, out of a book.

As he undoes the crossed pattern, his fingers brush against her skin and almost reveal her generous chest. "W-what are you doing?" She asks in a whisper as she holds the top so it doesn't open completely and reveals herself to him.

Deeper Healing by island_rose

"As I passionately kiss your lips and breathe all of you in, release your pain to me; let me inhale it and let my soothing touch heal your broken soul. -------- What starts as soft glares and innocent forehead kisses turns into something more carnal, deeper and wickedly tempting to explore. She isn't looking for true love, a concept she has given up on searching for. What her soul burns for is a man's touch to set her body ablaze and consume her completely in a whirlwind of intense pleasure and ecstasy. He desires a vibrant woman to do all the wickedly sinful things burning in his mind to, one who can unleash the dominant beast in him and torture sensually with all the pleasure he has to offer. She seems to be all he's ever needed and maybe someone whose heart he can heal and stitch back in place piece by piece until it can beat hard in her chest again and say his name. But nothing ever comes on a silver platter, especially with loads of drama and misfortunes tailing each one of them from sources closer than they could ever imagine. ⚠︎Warning: This story contains explicit sexual content, mentions of sexual assault, mild language, drama and is a slowburn

Where my Heart Lies by ivory_alpaca545

[*COMPLETE*] [*EPILOGUE, EXTRAS AND FILLER CHAPTERS MAYBE ADDED*] [NEEDS MAJOR EDITING AND A TONNE OF FILLER CHAPTERS] "You were burning with fever and I had the silliest idea. You were shivering, face all red, leaning closer and closer against me.. and in the heat of the moment, I did what I shouldn't have I kissed you, I loved you again." He whispered, and all she could do was look in his eyes, search them for the truth. For she knew, she had loved him too. ***** Ryan is haughty, at the almost end of his teenage. He had been a so called perfection throughout his school, and thus it was not strange for many girls to have a thing or two for him. One of them was Jessica, and mind you, he has never been interested. Jessica is 18. A freshmen in university. A complex brain with thoughts way deeper than what kids at her age are expected to have. She has quite a boring life- infested with diseases called #beingintrovert, #sociallyanxiety, and #ilovemycomfortZone. Liam hardly has a free hour at hand with his full packed schedule. But when he does get some time, he can be found flipping through the pages of psychological books in the library. It was at such a place when he gets acquainted with Jessica. Read this story to know how sweet romance mingles in their hearts, friendship blossoms and life gets some more meaning.
