☆ONC 2021 Honourable Mention and Shortlister☆ ☆One of Round Two Top Five Winners☆ ☆Multiple times featured☆ ☆☆☆ ☆This is a story about H. Ch. Andersen, about how he became a writer and why most of his stories are so sad and melancholic. Also, about why he never found real love... Yes, that's what I read about him (among other things)-- he kept falling in love with unatteinable women. My story portrays Hans Christian Andersen as a young, fourteen-years-old boy. It's set in Odense, Denmark, in the late summer of 1818-- soon after Hans' mother, a poor washerwoman, remarried (two years after his father's death) and shortly before he was sent to a school for poor children where he had to support himself. Where he became, to be able to afford his schooling, first a weaver's, then a tailor's apprentice, a singer, an actor and finally, once his excellent soprano voice changed, a writer. Hans and Louise, his (fictional) step-sister, seek refuge from a summer storm in an old shed. There, they meet Rosalind, a lost Flower Fairy. When they decide to help her find the Butterfly Fairy boy she loves and intends to marry, she takes them into a fantastical world of Terra Sonalis, her home. A land of dreams populated by fairies, goblins, elves, mermaids, talking animals... All those mysterious creatures that fuelled Andersen's imagination for the rest of his life. ☆☆☆

As a young kid growing up on the Street, P's sister knew them as well as any Rude Boy. One day while trying to help children escape a kidnapping she is taken instead. 5 years later, there's still no sign of her until P spots a girl at the Fight on the Container Street that looks like his sister. Only, this girl has no memory of him or the Rude Boys & further more claims to be Rocky's younger sister? Watching all seasons & movies will help you enjoy the story more as you'll be able to recognize more scenes not as elaborated on, characters, Easter eggs etc. especially in later chapters. It's not required & you can still understand & enjoy the story I try & keep characters as close to in character and their original personalities & plot while adding more background & behind the scenes to those we don't hear a lot of in the original material (specially in earlier chapters) Update: A/N & annot. will now be in the comments, to keep the look of chapters cleaner. Story is my own creation, inspired from High&Low. I've had it in the back of my head for a while, since Jan. 2020 & writing here began Mar.-Apr. 2021. So if by chance resembles another fan-fiction you have previously read, I apologize & kindly ask for a link so I can make sure I have time to change my ideas so future plot points aren't the same/similar. Disclaimer: I don't own HiGH&LOW characters, plots, images etc. only original characters I personally created for this story. These rights go the creators of this world EXILE HIRO & other producers, writers, directors & actors of the project/franchise. I don't make any profit & purely written as a fan of the franchise. I wish to keep rights to my original designs that aren't found in the source material. Please ask before using them in your own material. Pc: HiGH&LOW

I leaned back against the wall "It's been so long hasn't it?" "Yes, it has... I think the last time I saw you was high school graduation." "Exactly, and I waved at you and was making my way to you but you had disappeared." "Oh, I..." she looked around as if looking for an escape making me smile. She was so adorable. "Hey, it's okay" I chuckled "Don't worry about it. I just always wondered why you kept running from me throughout high school. It was hard keeping up with you, to be honest." Her smile faded and she just shrugged before leaning down to pick up her things "Well, it was nice seeing you again Mr. Walton." "Mr. Walton? Where did that come from?" "It seems we'll be working together now, it's only fair I call you Mr. Walton. It wouldn't be appropriate otherwise." I frowned standing up "Are you running from me again?" After a harsh breakup, Mason Walton's life changed upside down. Instead of being the considerate boyfriend he always was, he became the biggest playboy of all time.

Is he forgetting about Celine? What happens when the playboy runs into his all-time high school crush Katrina Johnson just before a very important meeting? ******* AN: None of the places and characters are real Daily update🥰
The soulmate gift by constellation201

••• Oh yeah, I think I forgot to mention, some of us humans are "gifted" as we like to say, in short, we have powers, well most of us do, anyway, powers that only show themselves when we turn 18. That's why an eighteenth birthday is such a big deal. Please note, that our powers come in all shapes and sizes. From elemental magic, to mind control, mind reading, time traveling, and even shapeshifting, and many, many, more. Even though some humans don't get powers, it's still better than getting what is known as The Soulmate Gift. What is it? You may be asking yourself. Well... It's when you can see what your soulmate sees and when you can talk to them mind to mind. Why is this such a bad thing? It only appears when one of the pair is in danger or is about to marry or spend their lives with someone other than their soulmate. So yeah, heartbreak is definitely present in the equation. And yes, you've guessed it, I, Amelie Diamandis, have the Soulmate Gift. And the fire gift. Which should be impossible. Isn't that just great? Oh, and my soulmate wants nothing to do with me....I think? ••• For as long as humans could remember you either got one gift or nothing, it's impossible to have two or more. A human with more than one power has been unheard of. Until today. When two people, destined since birth, break history with powers destined for destruction and a destiny that none can fathom. ____ THIS IS A FIRST DRAFT #167 in magic out of 270K 2021-12-05 #6 in high fantasy 2021-12-06 #21 in meant to be 2020-07-10 #43 in epic fantasy 2020-07-10 #31 in gift 2020-07-10 #31 in mate bond 2020-05-06 #58 in loneliness out of 12K 2021-12-02 ____ This story contains mature subject matter such as violence, reader's discretion is advised. ___ I couldn't find the artist that made the girl on the cover, if you know who it is please send me a message so I can credit them :)

"Tell me. Why won't you tell me?" He asks and I look towards him slowly, "You didn't even talk to me until yesterday! I'm trying to make it so nobody notices me, Kingston. I don't need this." I say and he slowly turns my face towards him, closing my locker and pinning me up against it. "What if I need you?" He asks and I roll my eyes. "Nice one, Hamlet." I say, walking away from him. One of the perks of being short, easily get away from tall people. ❤︎ Kingston Brag is the blonde haired popular guy with baby blue eyes, he's the guy every girl wanted. Every. Single. One. Except for her... Summer Cynthia. She hides in the corners and under black hoodies to hide her scars and bruises, her bloody arms and cuts, she hides her life. But there is one person who is determined to know what happened to her. Kingston Brag. But he has a mission that he's running from. This book contains one sexual scene, lots of bad words, abuse, violence, all that jazz. If you don't want that don't read the book and comment how it's not appropriate or some crap like a mom. There are two lesbians, a gay man, and a bi mother, so don't freak out if you will I'd rather you not read. Also she's a walking contradiction, don't comment about it, I know. #1// badparents // November 18, 2019 #7//teendrama // February 21, 2020 #17//romance//May 08, 2020 #1//abandoned//March 29, 2021 #5//drama//May 14, 2021 #1//fiction//May 15, 2021 #1//popular//May 18, 2021 #1//chicklit//May 22, 2021 #2//highschool//February 20, 2023 #3//teen//February 20, 2023 #3//teenromance//fFebruary 20, 2023
