Why do you pick fights with other boys? It's the question Ryan has been running from all his life. The answer will shock you. For as long as Ryan can remember, he's always wanted to be someone special. Now, a promising high school wrestler and a popular drug dealer, he's achieved the life he's dreamed of. He gets to go to all the fun parties, hang out with the cool kids, and be in a relationship with a beautiful girl who he loves. But Ryan's success is going to be bittersweet. A tragedy strikes someone close to him, creating a domino effect of self destruction. Ryan finds himself in a conflict where the repercussions threaten to destroy his life and potentially end it. Creeping in Ryan's thoughts is the source of his ambitions; a terrible secret he's unwilling to address. Go down the rabbit hole. Explore the fascinating chaos. You'll never forget what you read. Coming of Age is about the tragic experiences some teenagers go through and many others are aware of. The story explores themes like identity, ambition, love, trauma, forgiveness, free will, and redemption. Sensitive subject matter like drug addiction, extreme poverty, abuse, and violence are touched on, but in an honest, non-exploitative way. The story is based on my experiences as a teenager dealing mental health issues and the people I knew. Writing is my way to raise awareness of the issues I went through. I want to speak to people who can relate to my story and bring understanding to those that don't.

*CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH SECOND REVAMP* Exhale, repeat. How far will you go? Ask Julian Laurence and he will tell you he is living the dream. Despite his flaws and overwhelming anxiety, Julian has everything he needs at school. Wealthy, privately educated, and surrounded by his friends; what more can a 16 year old ask for? But behind autumn winds and the second hand smoke there is something far more sinister. Julian finds his perfectly orchestrated comfort turned inside-out as a new student arrives, and old stories return. There is only so much the human spirit can take. A slow burning story of love, grief, and mystery that follows observant Julian through his final years at school as his relationships with those around him are tested. As always, in loving memory of the real Josiah-Jean, who has breathed life into the beloved Josiah in this story.

Hunting the Fairy Tale - Re-Writing by MaggieOHighley
148 parts Ongoing
When Willow Mayfair's life falls apart, her mother brings her to Briar Cove, the coastal town where she grew up. Living with Rebecca's childhood friend, a new world filled with love, excitement, and friendship opens up for both of them. This story is for everybody who also dreams of a fairy tale and won't care if the "knights" were a little dirty. "Grab a bunch of broken misfits, chuck them in a tribe, add some glitter and loads of weird-ass garbage, voila, you've got yourself a fairy tale... kinda... just... you know... minus the fairies..." Paisley Davenport This story is my happy place; I do not plan on ever finishing it. It will go on and on like a soapie. I might break it up into volumes later. This book is ideal for forgetting the world and becoming best friends with the characters. Please Note:- I'm currently rewriting this story to edit and enhance parts. I'm also breaking up long chapters. Though the reading flow will not be broken, the chapter numbers will become out of sync at the border between old and new. ♫ Genre: Slice of Life/Romance/Humour This is a slow-burn journey through love and life, filled with an array of beloved characters, their sad moments, happy moments and a multitude of bat-sh#t crazy moments. P.S.: This is not a fairy tale... ♫ This is a work of fiction. Any names or characters, businesses or places, events or incidents are fictitious. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. TW: Please be advised that this story contains references to violence (sexual and other), drugs, anxiety, mental health issues, abuse and other possibly upsetting themes. Reader discretion is advised. I reserve all rights to my stories. Please do not copy or use my work anywhere without my permission. Thank you.
