Ryke has always struggled with the pressures of life, constantly feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and the weight of responsibility. Longing for a sense of comfort and safety, they often retreat into a childlike state to cope. One night, after an In This Moment concert, Ryke has a chance encounter with Maria Brink, the band's lead singer. To Ryke's surprise, Maria understands their struggles on a deep level. Offering her care and support, Maria becomes more than just a famous figure in Ryke's life-she becomes their caregiver, creating a safe space where Ryke can feel protected and loved.

Through their growing bond, Ryke finds a place of solace, discovering that it's okay to need someone else and that healing can come from the most unexpected places. "A Safe Haven" explores the power of trust, vulnerability, and the nurturing relationship that forms between Maria and Ryke as they navigate life's emotional challenges together.

The A Team: A Novella by prettyoddGal
10 parts Complete Mature
I lost someone dear to me in the midst of the Heroin Epidemic hitting MA in the last 3 years that spurred me to write The A Team. It is a reference to Ed Sheeran's song. This story was my grieving process. Without it, I'd be in a maelstrom of emotions that I wouldn't know what to do with. Also, my favorite band, Fall Out Boy, has a physical copy of this story. I gave it to them this past summer at a Meet & Greet in Mansfield, MA for the Boys of Zummer tour. I'd probably bawl my eyes out if I ever hear that they read it, but I don't want to hold out too much hope. They are my second form of coping with anything, and their music gave me the drive to even write the novella. Here's the description: What does it mean to truly learn to love your life again? Rebellious, yet exceptionally intelligent, Eugenia "Janie" Cole, asks herself this every day. Its hard to do such a thing when life deals you a bad deck of cards. Addicted to pain killer, kicked out of her only home for abusing and stealing said pain killers, becoming homeless, and befriending a punk chick by the name of Nina Monroe; a music scene junkie who seems to be just as messed up as her. In the hidden back drop of Boston, Massachusetts, Janie goes in search of her spirituality through parties, drugs, and that one beautiful moment that will explain to her why darkness follows in her footsteps. Will she find it all on her own before her past comes back to haunt her?
