Forbidden | Lucifer Morningstar x Reader
"Y'know Lucifer's girl? Well she's becoming a pain in the ass trying to "rehabilitate sinners so they get redeemed into Heaven" blah blah blah." He says mocking her voice I assume. I lean back against my chair as I cross my arms. "And why does any of that involve me?" I ask, causing him to respond almost instantly. "Well you're going to go down there, see what she's up to and report back to me." I glare at him. There are so many reasons this plan is stupid, and not just because he came up with it. ─── ☾ ⋆*･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ ─── Started: 02/28/2024 Ended: 06/10/2024 ─── ☾ ⋆*･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ ───Complete

The Tether : Tale of a Restless Soul
Amanda Fulwood has always felt out of place. Since she can remember, she was never capable of distinguishing the real from the fake, her mind constantly questioning whether she lived what she remembered or if it was just an outstanding dream. There's always this voice in her head, this coldness so sudden whenever she comes back to it. As bone-chilling as the air in a morgue, the feeling never fails to keep her up at night. It only got worse over the years, her visions turning more and more vivid, constantly wandering further away from this realm every time. Living in a small town has its perks, especially when you're the mayor's daughter, but it also comes with a handful of disadvantages. Her reputation as the local nut-job precedes her, and when she's found naked on the school football field, it only furthers their assumptions. Once caged and once freed, Amanda still struggles with the reality she is to face, one where just maybe, she really is insane. Or maybe, her mind is the keeper of something darker, sinister even. For the small town of Milton Oaks, crime is a non existent hassle. So when Amanda's memories seem to correlate with the events of the darkest nights in town history, she's left with a mystery on her hands. One that holds all the explanations she craved, for all the years plagued by those thoughts. But going down that route is a path of no return. Once Pandora's box has been opened, there's no closing it back. Among all the questions Amanda has, the only one that is hers to answer is, "Can she handle it?" Read the book and find out😉
Perennials 2 - A Fighting Chance
"I want you, and only you. And if that makes me a cheater, a coward, or plain crazy, then so be it!" he said, with the same hint of something in his voice as his eyes gave away. She knew it now. It was revolt. "Oh, darling... " She took his face into her palms, meeting his gaze with compassion. "Then I guess we'll just be crazy together." ************************************************ 2022. As they are on the brink of experiencing a terrible car crash, LA surgeon Diego Perez and his wife Louise get sent back in time to the 19th century.

But he has his modern-day wife with him, who has her own connections to this place and time, and things get more complicated by the day. Will he be able to figure out how to get his wife back home? Will their love endure the test of the time travel? Will they manage to navigate the rough waters of their existence in the 19th century? Word Count approx. 86000.

Miles from Home - Max and Harvey Mills Fan Fiction
Avery Burke's heartless mother suddenly uproots them from California to begin anew in England, forcing Avery to figure things out, alone, on the other side of the pond. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with Max and Harvey will change Avery's life, forever. It's the quintessential story of two career-minded and career-driven young adults trying to figure out a healthy work-life balance; how they really feel about the other person; and how the other might fit into their own life, if at all. One wrong misstep may end with one of their careers in total ruin, or both of theirs, entirely. Will they be forced to choose between success within their careers, or a successful relationship? - - - After nearly a full year of meticulous research (especially in the effort to more accurately portray both of Max's and Harvey's idiosyncrasies, behaviors, and, even, their word choices and speech patterns), dozens of rough drafts, and hundreds of revisions later, it has finally been released as a single, completed book comprised of eight chapters. You won't want to miss this serious, first attempt at a realistic, worthwhile Max and Harvey Mills fan fiction. - - - Author's Note: I'm still quite new to Wattpad, so please follow, share, vote, comment, and add, because any support you can give is greatly appreciated and will help spur me to continue writing. - - - #1 maxandharveyofficial 12-22-25 #1 maxlucamills 12-22-25 #1 teamharvey 12-22-25 #1 teammax 12-22-25 #1 millsies 12-22-25 #1 maxmillsfanfic 9-22-22; 11-24-25; 2-21-26 #1 millsies 9-27-22; 12-22-25 #1 harveymillsfanfic 9-27-22; 2-21-26Complete

Second Chances At Love
Savant Awards Winner #16 in mystery romance on 10.08.2022 #14 in womenpower When 29-year-old Hannah married 36-year-old Albert, one of the richest people in the world she was already numb. After marriage, she also got a rebellious teenage stepson as a side gift. How will these 3 misfit people live together under the same roof and become an awkwardly sweet family? ********************************************* "Why don't you give me and yourself a chance?" He asked. "Maybe because I do not have anything else to live for" She replied "Then let's build things to love a lifetime for." He replied with determination. "I won't think of you as my real mother, but don't worry, I'll be a good son" Chimed in her stepson. Love is not always sweet, at first sight, and during college or office. Love can also be encountered by chance in the most pessimistic scenarios. It can be your last salvation when you have nothing to hold on to. She was already dead inside, so the addition of two virtual people did not bother her already stagnant life much. But the peace did not last for long. She wanted to get through life quietly but life had other plans for her. With the addition of this 2 cold-looking but soft-hearted people in her life she slowly regained some purpose to live. She started the things which she had left before and stood on her own two feet. Her husband complained one day. "I heard about something you mentioned outside, that men only care more when they're older? So? Are you complaining that I'm old now?" Hannah said, "Wait, listen to me!" **************** The story will be long and detailed with lots of family moments and some dry humour added in here and there. This is not the cliché love at first sight story, but it will be very sweet. Updates:weekly.Complete
