Y/N Gallo has always been a mystery. With a genius-level IQ, an exceptionally rare high EQ, and a past shrouded in secrets, she's spent years working alongside Homeland Security-until one mission changes everything.
When a high-stakes cyberattack threatens thousands of lives, Y/N is pulled into the chaos of Scorpion, a team of brilliant misfits led by Walter O'Brien. But while the world believes she's Cabe Gallo's daughter, the truth is far more complicated-especially when her past comes crashing back in the form of stolen military technology, old enemies, and dangerous truths that refuse to stay buried.
As she fights to keep her secrets hidden, one person refuses to back down-Toby Curtis, the quick-witted behaviorist who sees right through her defenses. But the closer he gets, the harder it becomes to hide the scars of her past... and the truth about what she lost.
With every mission pushing her limits, Y/N must decide: keep running from the past, or trust the one person determined to break down her walls.

Lovebirds Since Youth
I lower my voice. "And you never contacted me again. You say you've been through tough times, then what about me? You think my life was pink and pretty?" "What are you gonna say? That I'm the bad guy?" I look at him dead in the eyes. "Exactly." I walk away from him until he grabs my wrist, stopping me. "Let me go!" I scream, trying to free myself from his grip. "Tell me why do you hate Jane so much?!" "You know nothing about me!" I scream, still fighting. "I know everything about you! Tell me what's wrong!" "I hate you!" "Oh, now you hate me?

G&T Based
Meet Kyle and Kate, two 15 year old students who have a gift for thinking fast, quick, and smart. Oh, and meet the other 18 kids in their class. Some call them genius, some call them annoying. PART 1 The year starts off bad enough, that is, with earthquakes and snowstorms. And finally, when things starts to clear up, the first murder occurs. Right in front of their eyes. It seemed obvious who did it, but as the murderer wrote her confession, a completely different murder occurs across town. Shocked, the police rush over to gather the evidence and clues, but before they even assemble their evidence, the police are led to another death. One by one, deaths occur around town, faster than the police can count. There's not much in common with all of the murders, only the fact that all of the victims come from one class. In the course on one year, the class of 18 shrinks drastically. PART 2 As summer vacation begins, the remains of the class split. Five students tell their stories of meeting new people, near death experiences, and funny incidences. PART 3 More than what meets the eye happened in the course of the summer. The class comes back to a new year, utterly shocked to find that 4 new students have joined their class. Everything starts out alright, but people are getting frantic. The government sent in spies to watch the class for suspicious behavior, two of them students themselves. Two other students are hired to try to figure things out on their own. What nobody realizes however, is what's important. As the year goes on, some of the students realize: -A secret passageway may not be limited to only the house. -The school has a basement -Falling down a flight of stairs can save lives A supposedly dead student wakes up from a coma, people start realizing things, all leading to the final, seemingly unimportant clue, that closed the gap from arresting the wrong person, to finding the real murderer.Complete
The Misfortunes Of Carrie
"Did you know Drama lowers I.Q? Intelligent people keep smaller social circles." I tell him, throwing another grape in the air and catching it in my mouth. "If that's true, then you and I should be geniuses." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Carrie Edwards is an enigma. Mysterious, beautiful, good taste in fashion and undeniably shy. She's the ultimate introvert, but she cannot be classified as a good girl. Then again, she's not exactly a rebel. Her favorite color is purple and in 8th grade, she threw up on the blind kid in the middle of a presentation on Dolphins. That's about all anybody knows about her. Hidden beneath a blanket of PTSD and social anxiety is the quirky, insensible, headstrong and sarcastic girl who lives life with an internal monologue of comebacks she doesn't actually say. Alec Kendrick, smoldering hot, very typical stereotyped bad boy. No, he's not rich with absent parents, nor is he poor and struggling to provide for his family. He has two brothers and a baby sister, who he gets a smite bit overprotective over. Alec likes his motorbikes, leather jackets and the occasional back talk to the teachers, plus picking a couple of fights and some drinking. Admittedly, so he's not a total angel either. These two very different people would probably have not even crossed paths if it wasn't for a mixed up folder, a weekend lost in the woods, a stolen copy of an embarrassing tape, crazy siblings, dancing best friends and of course, some sparks. Who knows what happens next?! ~-~ Mancheston Series, Book Two. CAN BE READ SEPARATELY Not edited, working on it. Some spelling and grammar errors. P.S I DO NOT own the cover picture. I just think it's pretty so props to whoever took it :) Cover Made by @SprinkleJellyDonutsComplete
Natural Born Sinner: A Dean X Female Reader X Sam Fic
Y/N was a civilian who lived a pretty straight-forward, boring, apple-pie lifestyle. She was incredibly smart...in fact, despite her being so young, she graduated top of her class and was now a Theology Professor at an Ivy League university. Lately, however... she felt like she was in desperate need of a change. After all... she was always a straight-A student, always kept her nose clean and stayed as far away from trouble as possible... a perfect goody two-shoes. Despite all this, Y/N knew there was something deep inside of her....something dormant; uncharted territory that kept calling to her. And once she crosses paths with two mysterious and insanely handsome "FBI Agents"... Y/N quickly discovers what it is she's been missing...and her world may just get rocked in an intense, dark, dangerous...incredibly fun...way. ----------------------------------------------- As per several requests, here is my take on a Dean X Reader X Sam fic! I overly appreciate all the love 'Dark Tendencies' received, and I hope this one lives up to expectation! This is an 18+, HEAVY SMUT, semi-slow burn read. As always, there will be some fluff to move the story along, but intense smut is the general idea! A polyamorous, trio thing is the endgame here. There will be NO favoritism! This book is written in first person, but YOU are the main character! (This does not follow the show storyline to a T, I'm just being creative lol) If you wanna bypass the story build-up and get right into the spice, (It's okay, I get it!), those chapters will be marked with ** around the chapter numbers! WARNING: My smut writing is VERY GRAPHIC!! ---------------------------------------------------------- I do not own the rights to Supernatural, Supernatural characters, the Supernatural storyline, or anything like that. This is just a fanfiction written purely for entertainment!Complete

I spun around as much as I could, their grip was strong on my hair. I saw my brown hair in a tight grip, I trailed my eyes up a male's tattooed arm towards a pair of dark grey eyes, his eyelids were red and puffy, as if he had been crying, or he was high. His face was set in a glare, his dark hair, messy, as if all he had done to get ready was shake his head around. It was the guy, Adrien, who was separated from Riley's group. He was tall. I was average height, maybe even slightly above average but Adrien towered over me, I had to look up at him. "What fucking right do you have to come to his school." Adrien snarled. He knew. I didn't know him though. • • • warnings: mature themes and violence, drug abuse, mentions of overdose, mentions of sexual assaultComplete
