Nora West has a theory: that even once you die and get buried and your body is well below the ground, one way or another your soul will always end up floating back up to surface, to either haunt or plainly just annoy the heck out of people. Yet no matter what, they always come back.
But when Nora and her best friend Joan are found in a tragic accident that takes Joan's life, Nora finds herself not only feeling stranded and weighed with taking the blame for her best friend’s death, but she soon realizes that the same accident that killed her friend didn't just take Nora's brightness out of life, but it also took something even bigger: her eyesight.
In a heartwrenching play between choosing the guilt, truth and all that comes with it, "Where Things Fall Up" does a new take on recovering, and how learning to get "better" isn't always the same as learning to forget.

Falling for the Enemy (Sun and Moon Book 1)
*A Zutara fanfic* Kara has been living in a little fishing village in the northern Earth Kingdom for as long as she can remember--literally. She woke up on its shores nearly six months ago, and she knows that if it hadn't been for Aki, she'd be dead. She's accepted that her life is in this village now, whoever she may have been--to her mind, it's better this way. It's better not knowing. But then a boy comes to the village--a boy who carries himself like a man. He's different from anyone Kara's ever seen before, and he seems to know her, he seems to understand her in a way no one else has. His name, he says, is Lee, but he says no more than that, and Kara is lost. How is she supposed to reconcile the little she knows about herself with this handsome, scarred stranger? How is she supposed to know what to do, when she doesn't even know who, or what, she is? And, more importantly, how is the banished prince of the worst nation in history supposed to convince a girl with no memory--a girl that he believed to be dead because of his actions--that he's on her side, when he knows that if she ever remembers, she will hate him?Complete
