Rory Kavanagh has lived in his father's shadow for as long as he can remember. A rugby legend, his father's name is known in every corner of the sport, and the weight of those expectations has always been suffocating for Rory. The pressure to be as great, if not greater, is relentless. But deep down, Rory doesn't want to be defined by his father's legacy. He just wants to play the game for himself, to be free of comparisons.

Bethany Gibson, his childhood friend, has always been there by his side. Growing up together, their parents best friends, they've known each other forever. While Rory's world is filled with pressure and expectations, Bethany's is hidden behind a perfect smile and a bubbly personality. Outwardly, she's confident and the life of the party. But underneath it all, she's struggling with a past she can't seem to escape. A secret she's kept buried from everyone, even Rory.

Their long-standing friendship has always been easy, but lately, something has changed. Spending more time together, Rory begins to realize that Bethany is the only person who truly makes him feel free. With her, he's not the son of a rugby icon. He's just Rory-the boy she's known since childhood. But as their connection deepens, Rory has to face the reality that he's been running from his own fears of living up to his father's legacy. Bethany, too, starts seeing Rory in a new light. Their friendship, born out of years of shared history, slowly transforms into something more. But the closer they get, the more Bethany feels the weight of her own struggles. She's terrified of letting Rory in too far, afraid that once he sees the truth about her, he won't be able to handle it. The last thing she wants is to lose the one person who's always been there for her.All Rights Reserved

Revision (COMPLETE) by TianneLove

My name is Delaney and this is my story. I feel compelled to give you fair warning before you embark on my journey. It's messy. It's chock-full of terrible choices and split-second decisions filled with bad judgment. It's rough, complicated and angsty-but, hey, isn't that what real life is? You live and learn through experience. You (hopefully) mature and don't make the same mistakes twice. These, however, are tough lessons to learn when you're trying to navigate through. Sure, dear reader, you will have ideas of how I could've handled it all better-I know I certainly do, in retrospect. But, I'm me. I'm human. And to err is human, right? Isn't that the popular quote people love to use as an excuse? Well-there it is. Read my life story, I dare you, but remember you've been warned. The divorce of her parents does not come as a surprise to Delaney, however her mother's swift decision to relocate to Florida throws her for a loop. After enrolling in classes at university, she makes fast friends with Shane, the quintessentially perfect guy. Jaded by her past experiences with relationships, Shane completely confounds her. He represents everything Delaney believed didn't exist in real life; stability, security and good old-fashioned kindness. It should be effortless. With Shane, it's exactly the type of happily-ever-after story she loves to read, as well as write. Enter Fin: the edgy, risk-taking artist that unrelentingly captivates her attention. Soon after becoming her partner in literature class, he becomes her one and only copyeditor and most trusted confidant. Torn between two different worlds, Delaney stumbles through a range of decisions that lead her on an unexpected journey. She finds herself left with an impossible choice: A life of contentedness filled with ease and love or a passion-filled wild ride that leaves her breathless. However, Delaney also discovers that sometimes the seemingly unimportant everyday decisions end up making the choices for you...

Every Saint Needs a Sinner by _merrittking_

Jourdan Mathews has a secret, and she knows she needs to take this one to the grave. * * * Her life was never complicated: a college student with a close family, good friends, and a plan for her future as a doctor. Had that night had never happened, she might even have been called ordinary. But we're not made by ordinary moments. Now in her senior year, Jourdan is in freefall after a catalyzing summer that turned everything upside-down. Her friends know she's in trouble, and her parents hope they've done enough to save her, but Jourdan doesn't feel anything anymore. They say moving on happens slowly, but something needs to change fast before life moves on without her. Ryder Harris considers his life to be the farthest thing from "ordinary." He isn't just the kind-of-good basketball player that made him popular in high school. He is the kind-of-great that comes along once in a generation, a fact that has propelled him on a course which only attempts to reach for the stars. If you ask him, this isn't luck or special talent. No, Ryder Harris makes a point to focus himself, to remain undistracted. He's got priorities, and at the very top of his list is being drafted into the NBA. That dream is very close to becoming a reality his senior year, so close he can almost taste it. But the universe has a nasty habit of giving us what we need, not what we want. * * * part I - Jourdan & Ryder * * * Every Saint Needs a Sinner. Copyright. © May 2022. All Rights Reserved.

But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be.

Cara Lynch, the third-born child in a large and turbulent family, has long been the unofficial mother to her five siblings. At just 16, she carries the weight of the world on her shoulders, forced to protect her younger siblings from their abusive father while her disengaged mother offers no help. Despite the chaos at home, Cara finds comfort in her tight-knit group of childhood friends-Hughie Biggs, Gerard Gibson, Patrick Feely, and later, Johnny Kavanagh. But it's Hughie, now 17, who has always been her rock, quietly watching over her and carrying a deep, unspoken affection for her. For years, Hughie has harbored a secret crush on Cara, admiring her strength, resilience, and selflessness from a distance. When Cara is barely 16, their friendship deepens into something more, and their connection blossoms into a tender and fierce love. It's a slow burn, but one that feels inevitable-Hughie has always been there for her, and now, he becomes the one person who shows Cara what it means to be cared for in return. Though Cara is used to protecting others, she's never had anyone to protect her, just her older brother Joey, as Darren left them when he was 18. But Hughie is different. He steps up in ways she never imagined, keeping her secrets, standing by her side, and offering her the kind of unwavering support she's never known. He becomes her safe place, the one constant in her stormy life. As their love grows, Cara begins to feel a sense of security she's never experienced, even as she remains trapped in her toxic home environment.
