It all started with a pithy little love letter. 

Harriet is clearing out her grandmother's attic when she discovers a trunk chock-full of relics of the past. What was once an emotionally-daunting episode of spring cleaning has become the discovery of several lifetimes. 

Harriet finds that at the heart of a great American victory is an even greater love story marked by tragedy, scandal, and a nation torn between a troubled past and a hopeful future.

Marked by legacy, Harriet will learn that love isn't always black and white - and that changing the world comes at a cost.

A Grateful Heart (ONC 2023; manxman)✅ by tristen2500

[ONC2023 Round 2 Ambassador's Pick and Shortlister] Getting over a loved one's death isn't easy. For Eric Gagnon, it's near impossible. A year after losing his sister, he's still struggling, questioning the meaning and purpose of life. He goes through the motions every day, not sure how much longer he can go on. With nothing to lose, he takes the advice from a neighbor and gets in the taxi that he'd only heard about but never seen. When the taxi drops him off, he enters a place he never imagined, stumbling upon someone he never quite expected. Through this journey, he discovers something that goes beyond meaning and purpose. Prompt 9 "There's an urban legend that's been circulated for years about a taxi cab that doesn't take you where you want to go, but where you need to go. One night, you stepped into the cab."

Where there's a Will, there's a Tiara | Complete (ONC 2021 Longlister) by authorelizasolares

When her parents die in an accident, 27-year-old party girl, Adelaide Becker, sets her sights on inheriting the family fortune. But when the will is read, she is not surprised to find her parents are capable of ruining her happiness even from beyond the grave. If she hopes to inherit the family estate, she has to follow one not so inviting rule: move to the English countryside and live with a long forgotten grandmother. For a year. Begrudgingly, she packs her things and leaves the sandy shores of Greece for the small, ramshackle house her mother grew up in. Between the drafty room, the terrible food, and the young carpenter who seems more intent on sweeping her off her feet than fixing the roof, Adelaide is convinced her parents set the whole thing up just to punish her for indiscretions. She's determined to beat them at their own game and survive the year, but when her grandmother hands her a ring and a letter and declares her engaged, Adelaide might finally snap. *** ONC 2021 entry for prompt # 74. CW: Death of parent.

Dabbling in Danger by Plumpsugarplum

He straightens his posture, his tone is even, voice calm and his eyes soften. "If," he raises a finger at me, slows his speech slightly and enunciates more. "I recieve more than a little trouble from you. I will, give you what you deserve. That is my final word." He quickly spins away from me and walks down the hall to the other side of the house. (Disclaimer: Chapters contain mature language, frequent mention of alcohol and marijuana, sexual content/language, and infidelity.) So very close to adulthood, Malina is having a blast tearing shit up with a smile on her face. When slapped with a notice of expulsion from school, she is given the option to complete senior year elsewhere. This is where things get difficult. The school and foster parents Malina begrudgingly went home to, somehow contacted Tiana, Malina's estranged sister. Having absolutely no contact for years, Malina is forced under the roof and guardianship of Tiana and Adeen, Tiana's husband.. The change causes old wounds to be torn open and internalized emotions to be unleashed. Adeen finds himself stuck between desperately keeping his wife together and preventing his wife's sister from wreaking havoc on everything around.

Trump's Little Girlfriend~ by TRUMPlove2024

Disclaimer: This story is purely fictional. Any names, persons, and events depicted in this work are fictional and parody. ✨ Mr. Trump has been estranged from his wife for quite some time. But he is rather happy with a rather young girlfriend who loves him dearly. Will he continue to be happy with her or decide to reunite with his wife, his baby's mother? J is unlike any woman Trump has ever dated. Rather than being a six foot tall blond model, the girl (age about 30s?) is an Afro Latina originating from a Hispanic neighborhood close by Prez Trump's childhood home. She is different, a shy soft girl that can be a bit spacey. Note: ✨Angst, fluff, and a little smut (mature rating). 🌚 ✨Also, this started out as written in the style of one shots, but now it's formed into a little plot. ❣️ #1 in Conservative during week 10/11/21. #1 in MAGA last week of Oct '21. #1 in donaldtrump March '22. 🤴🏼🤩💕 Thanks! 😃👍🏽

ONC Ambassador's Pick & Shortlister! Rumors. Infidelity. Lies. Secrets. MURDER. And all before lunch time. Who knew being a socialite in 1951 could be so thrilling? ~~~ On a lovely June afternoon, as the oh-so-chic members of the Gilded Grove Ladies' Book Club gather for their scheduled luncheon, they are shocked to receive the news that their vice president, Camilla Otis, is unable to attend. Gossip ensues. What catastrophe could possibly have befallen her to warrant a last minute cancellation? The answer comes by way of two clever, dashing police officers. It seems Camilla Otis has had quite a busy morning, and that the truth behind her absence is far more scandalous than the Book Club ladies could ever have imagined. As the police dig deeper into the events surrounding Mrs. Otis' shocking crime, buried secrets about the other Book Club members begin to surface. None of the women in question are the fine, upstanding ladies of society that the public believes them to be. Each has tarnish on her so-called "sterling reputation." And no one has more to hide than club president Marcella Montgomery. Written for ONC 2024, this is a tongue-in-cheek "whodunit" (in reverse) that will leave you wondering just what a scorned woman *wouldn't* do for sweet, sweet revenge. ⚠️ Warning: many very nonchalant references to murder and death. Very ignorant (era-realistic), inaccurate comments about nationalities/cultures outside the US.

Turn of the Tide | ONC 2023 by Oxviola

[ONC 2023 Shortlister] ['23 RGAs Overall Winner] When the storm comes, who will you choose to ride it out with? In the sleepy coastal village of Porthdruro, the most excitement literature student Sally Tremaine experiences is the coming and going of the tide. So, when she runs into carefree photographer Flick Scott on a routine errand, the waves the girl makes in her life are beyond anything she's seen before. Flick is confident, passionate, and just plain fun - in short, she's everything Sally had never expected to find in her small world. Things aren't all fun and games, though. The rest of the village wants nothing to do with the boisterous traveller, and Sally senses there's something lurking beneath Flick's impulsive character, something she doesn't want Sally to see. And when another stranger follows hot on Flick's heels, Sally faces a choice between staying true to the place she calls home and protecting the girl that could take her beyond the horizon. As the storm draws ever closer, the questions rumbling in Sally's mind grow louder. What brought someone so full of life to a place like Porthdruro? Why is she so possessive of a simple camera? And will the toll of trusting Flick Scott be more than Sally can take? *** Written for #ONC2023. 50. "An attractive, mysterious stranger moves to your small town. While everyone is desperate to make an impression, only you notice something a bit odd about them." 51. "The problem with red flags is that I'm attracted to them." Stunning cover by the equally stunning @MiniMoxx. Adorable chapter-end graphic by the equally adorable @Metalcanine.
