Nine-year-old Trey's lonely, sad life as a fatherless misfit is changed forever when the new preacher's kid, the indomitable Charley, arrives.  Everyone around Charley sees him as tragically handicapped. Not so Charley himself, who lives life to the full and pulls everyone around him along, starting with Trey.  Watch them grow through challenges into young manhood and beyond.

This is a revised and somewhat condensed version of this story. It started out life as a short story but its characters just took hold of me until it grew into what you have at hand. The characters and settings are an amalgam of a lifetime of experience, sometimes intense, of all sorts of people and places. In themselves, however, they are entirely fictional. Any resemblance to real persons, places or events, other than what is clearly public knowledge, is coincidental.

Blind Promises by Bextra6

A lonely girl from a small town in Oklahoma finds herself in the middle of Seattle, Washington. What she didn't know was fate was about to deal her a hand that she needed to help put all her demons back where they belonged, locked away for good. A war hardened soldier, blinded in an attack while doing a black ops mission, was sitting there with his friend at a movie night of all things when an angel walked into the room. What little vision he did have gave him the notion that an ethereal being had just graced his presence. Little did he know, she'd be stuck with him for the foreseeable future after an unexpected attack. At first she was drawn to his service dog, but then it wasn't long before she couldn't keep her mind off of him. Which was good because he had no plans of ever letting her go. Sight unseen, he'd decided she was the most beautiful thing he'd ever met. He knew he had issues she didn't deserve to have to handle. She knew she had a past that he wouldn't want to deal with. But fate had other plans for the two lovers, a blind promise. Can they work through their differences, their mental health challenges, and the dangerous situations that come their way?

Jasper Hale x Reader [Twilight Saga Fanfic] | READ DESCRIPTION by LilacOnion

And then I remembered the strange doctor and his even stranger children. The progression of my condition and the coming to terms with my mortality. My hand gripped onto his, "Does this mean you won't run from me anymore?" I dared to glance in his direction. Into his beautiful eyes I fell as I felt him lift my hand and place his firm, yet smooth, lips against it. His southern twang came out as he spoke, "No, ma'am." ~~~~ A story in which a girl with a deadly condition gets the chance at a happily ever after. Versión española : @traduccionesmapache This story technically has an end as I've posted the plans I had for the last 12 chapters. Though this may be an unsatisfying end.
