After training at the Cardiff Academy, Niall Grant gets the chance to prove himself at a fire station in the countryside. Even though he would have preferred to go to Pontypandy, he soon realizes that it won't be boring in this small town either.
After not having the best start, he soon discovers that there is a secret surrounding his new station officer and the prevailing "rivalry" with the fire station in the neighboring town that is more than confusing, but also makes him curious as to what might be behind it .
Will Niall manage to prove himself there and gain a foothold or will his curiosity lead him into unexpected difficulties?

I have no rights to the series or its characters. I write solely for the joy of it. Any resemblance of names or character traits to real-life people regarding my own characters is not desired.

Updates are to be expected rather irregularly, as I don't quite know where this story is going from time to time.

My Soulmate- A Fireman Sam Elvis x Penny Story by UltimateElvnyFan
35 parts Complete
This is my first fanfic, so it may or may not be bad. All I have to say is that it's going to be about Penny x Elvis, because their aren't many fanfictions about them out there, so I wanted to grow that part of the fandom, because I ship this ship SOOOOOOOOOO hard! btw the characters are going to be similar to their original personalities, so sam is going to be inventive, elvis is going to be the clumsy and shy sidekick, and steele is the stern one. They are also going to look how they originally looked, so sam will have a quiff and elvis shall have his long nose again and be tall!!! So this is what it's about: Five firefighters. All friends. Sam, the brave hero next door, Elvis the clumsy and forgetful sidekick, Penny, the fearless one, Ellie, the action girl, and Arnold, the nerd. Station Officer Steele is in charge, always with a stern glance. But there's something happening underneath all of this. With Sam, Arnold, and Joe inventing a mysterious and possibly dangerous invention, Norman Price about to turn ten years old, Steele and Boyce's rivalry growing, dark secrets are revealed. Elvis has always felt something for Penny. Whenever he sees her his heartrate increases. However, for the past 8 years he's kept this feeling hidden deep within his soul, thinking that she probably likes Sam or Ben or someone. However, the girl of his dreams may have also fallen for the clumsy firefighter... As Norman and Derek begin to claim finding a 'treasure,' Trevor Evans ends up in the hospital, Elvis begins to have strange dreams about keeping his feelings hidden. Perhaps, it's best to live life while you're young... (set about series 10-11) (Also there may be some Ellie x Arnold in there, but i'm probably going to make a separate fanfic about that)

#13 in kotlc She only smiled up at him wading out deeper into the water. "I'm gonna go deeper than you," she teased. "In the water, or in our relationship?" He flirted back, taking after her. Sophie didn't think before she spoke. "Maybe both," she blurted, feeling her cheeks grow hot. Covering up her embarrassment although he could feel it anyway, she went deeper, only her toe tips touching the sand. [This book is PG-13 tho, I promise] --------------------------------------------- Matchmaker scrolls arrive just in time, and Sophie has the most difficult decision to make. Keefe and Fitz are two of her favorite guys around. Whatever she chooses, she is going to hurt at least one of them. ----------------------------------------------- Almost all of the characters belong to Shannon Messenger's Keeper of the Lost Cities series. Please don't plagiarize. I have to say that this does include more Sokeefe than Sophitz.

I watched him watch me as he was about to press his fist into the big red button that read "Emergency Fire!". I was unable to form words because, I thought about how hot he looked as he stared back at me with such intensity. It just intrigued me. I finally snapped out of my trance, but not because I'd came to my senses, but because I felt a cold sensation running down my body. I blinked about three times before it finally registered that he'd pressed the button and now water was spilling from the roof, and some students were laughing and playing. My breath hitched in my throat as he came closer. "You really should've worn a more, I don't know, a thicker shirt or bra. Because your two lovely friends are standing at attention." as the words left his mouth, realization caught up to me and I flushed with embarrassment and quickly crossed my arms over my chest. Talk about scarred for life! Jerk. Meet Charm Mill, your typical nerdface. She's the smartest girl in school, straight A's, great punctuality.. eveything in the book. She's also the invisible girl. No one notices her. But, for her, that's a great thing. She feels that going unnoticed means less drama, which is correct. But, what happens when Heath Cullen gets himself in trouble because he's not performing the way he should and the principal forces Charm to tutor him? Will this be a ticket to hell or a ticket for the bad boy to find his true love? Copyrighted. ©

Formerly called 'Withered' Highest Ranking as of 5/18/2018: #5 in Matureaudience; 12/7/2018: #3 in ied I gulped as his hand cupped my jaw, "Tell me River. Are you scared of me?" He asked and I looked up at his eyes. I didn't have to ponder over the matter long. "I don't know." I said softly. Daimen frowned and studied me for a while, "Just wondering, because you seem to love pissing me off. And most people don't. So I guess you need some figuring out to do." ********* Daimen and River were both seniors at the same high school, they took some of the same classes, walked the same halls, live in fair distance from each other, but they couldn't have been more different. When high school was over River and Daimen became ghosts to each other but then years later fate decides to bring them back together. River Sparrow hates confrontation. She's jumpy, but tries to see the bright side of situations. She's quiet, soft spoken, the "teacher's pet," and keeps to herself a lot. She's a volunteer at the local animal shelter and loves one dog in particular the most. Daimen Princeston would fight in a heartbeat. He's strong, intimidating, and pretty much has people running for the hills at the very aspect of him getting angry. His devil-may-care attitude swirls around him and no one wants to get on his bad side. Of course River is afraid of him, and she has a good right to be. But when River starts to learn more of the young man everyone fears she starts to see him in a new way. After some time feelings grow stronger and she hopes she's not fallen for a murderer. And if she has, who is she to deny him the love he so desperately needs?
