After a year abroad, Arcelia has finally settled into Manhattan. Cooking, cleaning and studying alone is no longer difficult for her in a foreign country, but she hasn't yet arrived emotionally in New York. The Traumas and experience from long past days still have a firm grip on her.
26-year-old Aresius has had to go through a lot in his life. It wasn't until he joined the army at the age of 20 that he learned how to deal with his problems. The hard days are now far behind and he has built a life for himself. It's not perfect, but he's making the best of it, until one night a girl asked him for a cigarette, calling him pet names that changes everything.
Will Aresius be able to help Arcelia or will Arcelia drag him down with her?
sneaky peek:
"Ares," she whispered softly as I begin to fall asleep.
"What?" I replied, already knowing that what she will say next will either be the most beautiful, profound and mind blowing poetic quote that would make even Shakespeare roll over in his grave in jealousy or...the other stuff.
"What do you call a factory that makes okey products?" she asked, her whole body shaking as she tried to suppress her laughter, "a satisfactory" she replied to her own joke bursting into a fit of giggles and crying with laughter.
...so, it was the other stuff.
"Go to sleep crazy woman" I grunted as I tried to suffocate her with a pillow.

Love's Imperfections
She's the chaos. He's the steady one. Amy never planned on falling for Zahn; the quiet, disciplined boy who somehow became her unofficial babysitter. He wakes her up for classes, steals her junk food, nags about grades, and lectures her like a mom... yet somehow ends up being the only place she feels safe. She's lazy, reckless, dramatic, and far too spoiled, her favorite daily routine is pushing his buttons. He's grumpy, easily exasperated, always rolling his eyes... but secretly, a total softie. Together, they're messy, heartfelt, and inseparable, even when life (and their own mistakes) try to tear them apart. Because love isn't always soft edges and fairytales. It's laughter, heartbreak, healing... and holding on anyway. (Cover by @fuzziwrites)Complete

Gravitating towards her, he manages to bring her a sense of comfort to the new beginnings in life. Not all beginnings are as true as they let off and lies can only last so long. ~ ❀ ~ I can't help but stare at her. Her face, lips, and smile, and her nose. Even her long, curled lashes. "Let's do a butterfly kiss!" She exclaims, pulling my face close suddenly. Kiss? My heart hammers in my chest, my breath hitching. Her small hands hold my face close to hers. It's not very forceful, I could pull away if I wanted to, but I let her have control. Her hands are warm and soft against my jaw. Getting closer, her eyes lashes flutter and I find myself holding my breath. She brushes her lashes to mine, her breath fanning against my lips. Subconsciously, I lean forward, wanting my lips to be on hers. June flutter her lashes, grazing her lashes to mine. Out of nowhere she bursts out in a fit of laughter. I flinch back. Butterfly kiss. That was not a fucking kiss. ~ ❀ ~ #1 cliche 2025 #1 sweatheart 2025 #1 opposites 2026 *Warning* Mature themes will be covered (language, actions, etc).Complete

Lilah
She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)Complete
Love in paradise
Eolia had always been obsessed with video games, so much so that she turned her passion into a career. But there was one game that consumed her like no other-despite countless attempts, she could never get the perfect ending with her favorite character. One fateful night, as a thunderstorm raged outside, she plugged in her phone, hoping for one more chance at the elusive victory. Then, a lightning bolt struck her house, short-circuiting the entire electrical system. Her phone sent a jolt of electricity through her, and everything went black. When she opened her eyes again, the sound of the ocean filled her ears, and the warmth of the Miami sun kissed her skin. Confused, she staggered to her feet and gazed at the unfamiliar beach before her. At the far end, an elderly man lay unconscious, his heart failing. Without a second thought, she rushed to him, performing CPR and bringing him back to life. Grateful beyond measure, the man, a wealthy middle-class person, offered an unexpected reward-his choice of one of his three grandchildren to marry. It was in that moment Eolia realized something incredible and terrifying had happened. She wasn't just in a new place-she had stepped into a world far beyond the screen.
