Mature
The truth is that nothing is ever perfect; if she were to look in the mirror, even for a fleeting moment, she would see the darkness surrounding her, keeping her trapped. Sam knows her life is a facade-there's little about her family that feels truly real, yet it all seems genuine to her, at least until the dream comes to an end. In the storm she's about to face, she will fall in love, discover herself, learn to feel free, and find a sense of home even when there's nothing familiar left. She will cross every conceivable boundary, lose her way, and come face-to-face with a reality unknown to her until now. Like a sailor searching for distant shores, Sam is chasing a happiness she cannot name-or perhaps she can, but has forgotten it ever existed.

Kiss Me by FlayedFleshArtist
14 parts Complete Mature
---------------------------- Alex never thought she could love anybody. Her family left her to foster care, and she hasn't been able to ever make any real friends. She plans to live a simple boring life, possibly until death comes for her, but is that what she really wants. No, perhaps she just needs someone... someone she never realized was just around the corner from her life. Shirley has had a great life up until now, at least she likes to think so. She does prefer looking at things through a more positive lens, so things like her debilitating health conditions seem to slip her by. Eating less food could only be a good thing right? Well, soon she would learn, not only to take better care of herself, but also to love. An experience she has yet to discover, until her lingering eyes fall far too long on one particular girl. ~~~~~ Wendy was the sweetest girl alive, with simply no one to share the overwhelming stream of love she had to share. When a storm hits her town, she's locked inside, desperate and alone for what seems to be an eternity. But unbeknownst to her, this would bring her closer to love than ever before. Marissa was getting over her past trauma, and only games could ever do that for her. During yet another month of locking herself up in her room, she found someone who was different, a light through the darkness that was her life, an angel, to save her tortured soul from damnation. At least, that's how she might phrase it. ---------------------------- The title was chosen years ago, so I decided to leave it be and combine these two stories. This will be a moderate length mini story for the two couples, exploring their journeys which happen at completely separate times. These are the untold stories of our side characters from my other book's shared universe, but reading those two books are not exactly necessary to enjoy this one. Either way, this is made for those who want to know more about these characters, so please enjoy.

Demons of Old and New

36 parts Complete Mature

Two people can be best friends without love, but to be in love one of the first steps are to be best friends. That's exactly what happens to Sam, and Charlie. Sam is a carefree being without much to worry about besides his best friend Charlene. Charlie has had a tortured past, and experience as a soldier. So what happens when the two find their love for one another, while they battle demons of old and new *** Note there is some mention of homosexual relationships and LGBTQ characters, there are some mentions of abuse, lots of swearing, and some gore *** Author's note: This is my first story, and this isn't really my strength. My grammar kind of sucks, please try to give positive criticism. Thanks!
