On the anniversary of her mother's death, 22-year-old Kimberly Hall plans to muster the courage to visit her mother's grave and spend the weekend in bed. Her cousin and friends have something else in mind. Megan, Jacob, and D'Various coax her into traveling to Atlanta, Georgia to attend their first "Freaknik festival."

Jacob and D'Various see it as an opportunity to put their music out there -- while Megan looks for any and every chance to party and mingle. Not a musician nor a hardcore party girl, Kimberly reluctantly agrees, intending to meet new people.

During the trip, buried feelings surface through shared glances and seeking proximity to the other. But the party comes to an abrupt end when a fight breaks out.
The four must find their way home before the news of the attack reaches Dahlonega and somehow continue with their lives where they left off.

Desire You by ratthegirl

‼️Caution: NSFW STORY‼️ SLOW BURN (but not really) SMUT not a legit book because I simply do not have time for that Vi-Rose Chamberlain has spent years as the devoted girlfriend to Ace Warren - the wealthy golden boy everyone assumes she'll marry. But behind his perfect image lies a trail of lies, neglect, and betrayal. The last straw comes the night she finds him with his freshly returned high school sweetheart, Julia Fables at his families charity ball.

But when a mysterious video surfaces - capturing Garrett heatedly defending Vi-Rose to Ace - whispers ignite within their tight-knit friend group of January Stevens, Haylee Gilbert, Malcolm Jace, and Sean McKinley. Suddenly, the rumors of a secret romance explode, fueling tension, jealousy, and suspicion and Julia Fables doesn't hesitate to stir the pot. As the fallout deepens, Garrett and Ace's friendship begins to fracture, the more Vi-Rose and Garrett lean on each other, the harder it becomes to ignore the electric pull between them - a connection that's equal parts comfort and danger. Now, every glance, every touch, feels like a line they shouldn't cross.

Are they risking everything for a fleeting spark, or have they stumbled into the kind of love that's been waiting for them all along?

A Lord and Lace (Regency au! Prince Arthur x oc) by kfacecookie

A wayward regency au one shot I wrote for fun, and because the concept wouldn't stop haunting my mind. ~ Trying to get back up after his ex-fiancé left him, Lord Arthur Pendragon relents to his friends and families idea of hosting a party in his family's estate. Although holding up hope for a new love that evening, he could not predict falling head over heel for a woman with haunted eyes, who secretly hides a crooked and wicked grin and a spark of intrigue unlike any he's glimpses before. After catching the sight of that side of her, and the way her families mistreatment severely dampens it, he finds himself sure of one thing. He's going to get her out their grasp, but doing so might be more tricky then first expected. Miss Harriet Frodesdotter is stuck in a hell of constantly being forced into a uncomfortable, lace covered, dress, into unbearably loud ballrooms, and dealing with condescending suitors that her controlling sister manages to steer towards her. The sudden approach by a Lord Pendragon does make her pause however, his sweet and concerned eyes appearing to be almost horrifyingly sincere as he offers to help her with her family issues. She doesn't trust him, he's not the first to claim to be her savour for purely selfish reasons, but something tells her that there's something more to him, and not in a bad way. ~ Content warning for ableism, family issues (including abuse, I don't perceive it as especially graphic, but it's there) and depictions of meltdowns.

The Inceptive Flame⎪✓ by IAmEmmaHey

"Do they not say that a good friendship builds on a ground of lies?" I joke, lightening the mood immediately as his green eyes glint in humor and a smirk falls on his familiar lips. "Do you kiss a lot of your friends, love?" The underlying tones threaten to provoke a blush on my cheeks, but I get myself together. Smirking at him, "Well, of course, is that not the norm?" *********** Dakota Moore is the perfect example of a beautiful disaster. Her wisdom is ready to knock anyone down, her self worth is an exact replica of the way her father raised her, and her pain so intense it screams over every building. She refuses to show anyone what's going on behind closed doors, especially when her lovely father gets the traumatic news that he has an incurable disease. Elijah Black is the spur of the moment kind of guy, he's the one no one ever settles with because of his angry outbursts and rude ways. Even though he throws everyone off, except for when they want sexual advances, he still can't help but feel enthralled by the freckled girl who's hiding so many secrets behind a fake smile. As they clash and try to reject the obvious rush, will they accept their attraction, or is everything just too much? After all, how can two ruined teenagers manage a youthful love without destroying themselves in the process?
