"Impossible is a word for other people to use when life scares them." 
-Chris Hayes-Kossmann
---------------------------------------
"Doing the impossible" is what Garret Kennedy happens to be annoyingly good at. More times than often, it comes around to punch him in the gut every time he stands. A genius delinquent who dropped out of college to work in his uncle's bar, Garret is a hacker that makes a life off of simultaneously reading people's minds, hacking their phones, and pouring them drinks. But at least he's good at running. He's very good at running.
When a girl approaches him with a job on the wrong side of the law, Garret discovers that an old enemy to the girl plans to rip him and many others of his lifestyle. Now Garret must fight back for what he loves, and only his new, underground family of thieves and hackers can help him.

Echos of Steel by Tempest68

In a world where Quirks reign supreme, heroes are worshiped like gods, and the powerless are left behind, Aiden Wolfe stands apart. Born Quirkless and disregarded by society, Aiden has no interest in the hero system or its false promises of salvation. Instead of turning to Quirks, Aiden turns to technology. Armed with a mind that rivals the greatest intellects, he dives into the world of cyberware, developing innovations that can push humanity forward-without the need for Quirks. But Aiden's independent mindset puts him at odds with the Hero Public Safety Commission and UA, who see his advancements as a threat to their carefully constructed system. Despite attempts to force him into compliance, Aiden refuses to be controlled. He's not interested in being a hero or following the rules of a society that discarded him. Every step of the way, he faces heroes who misunderstand his motives, a government that seeks to control him, and a system designed to suppress anyone who dares to challenge the status quo. But Aiden won't back down. With his cybernetic creations, sharp wit, and determination, he's ready to show the world that there's another path forward-a path where Quirks aren't the only way to make a difference. In a world obsessed with power, Aiden is prepared to stand alone and prove that true strength comes from those who refuse to be controlled. "Let the heroes have their Quirks," he says. "I'll build something better."

Beautifully Broken by prettiestoflies

"You shouldn't need to drink to try and drown your feelings Kayla. I've watched the people around me do this all my life and it doesn't fix anything." "I know it won't fix anything, but for right now it helps me forget" "You can't keep running away or hiding. In the end it all catches up." "You sound like you've been through this before." "I guess you could say that." "You want me to open up to you, but are you ever going to open up to me? I want to get to know you Tyler, but you are so closed off. You know why I got knocked over by that wave? Because I was watching you, I was watching your face and seeing how free you felt riding that wave. It's the only time I've ever seen you let go. You know that someone hurt me, but I think you have been hurt too. When you're ready to talk, I'll be waiting. Maybe we can help each other." "Maybe I'm not worth getting to know" he replied. "And maybe I'm not worth you trying to save me either. Or maybe I am" With that I got up and left him to think about what I said. I put my cards on the table, now it was up to him to make the next move. ******** A year ago, Kayla had it all, doting parents and a relationship with her older brother that others envied. By the end of junior year that changed, she's left broken after a series of events in her life, but she is determined to hide her pain from her friends and enjoy the summer. That is until she meets Tyler, who can see right through the hurt. He has his own secrets though and isn't ready to let anyone in. Together they will either fall apart or fall together.

Undercover by MartaCo06

*THIS IS A CRIME FICTION BUT THERE ISN'T AN OPTION FOR THAT* ____________________________ There's no way to know how a case is going to go... You may think that you are all ready to go, but nothing will prepare you for entering court and see the faces of people that trusted you, and you broke that trust. Nobody will EVER understand that pain until they experience it first hand. This is one of the narrow list of Madison's undercover cases... Maybe one of the hardest ones. ____________________________ EXCERPT "Why is this beeping?"- The boss asks while watching the screen. "Beeping?"- Garrett freaks out. "YES!" We share a look before somewhat running over to see. "A virus?"- I question not moving my eyes from the screen. The last person I hacked was his computer which can mean 2 things: It spread from my desk They installed it on my computer. Either way, somebody touched that one before I came here. ________________ **Credits to @lollyti for the cover** Also, yes, I know it's Kim Burgess in the cover

My Best Friend's Brother by edgarallenyo

"All week, you've been on my mind, and I can't make it go away. Finally, after suffering in silence for so long at the thought of your lips, your laugh, and your smile..." Aaron trailed off, his eyes roamed my face. "All week?" I scoffed pulling away. "I've been in love with you for twenty years!" "We've been friends since childhood, and I've accepted that we're just not meant to be. I've tried to move on and you encouraged me to follow my dreams. I just... I didn't know that my dream was you." . ✧ . Bethany grew up in a small town in rural Alabama. Her older brother and her best friend had been the only closest people to her for years.

And high school only enriched his popularity. And now almost a decade later they all have the opportunity to see each other again at their ten year high school reunion. Now Bethany had the chance to show everyone she grew up with how much she changed. Her thriving career out of state finally gaining confidence and sophistication transforming into a whole new woman. It took them some time to realize what they wanted and what they needed in life. And it took them even more time to confess who they were truly in love with.

The Street Fighter (#Wattys2014) by KenZ_Dizzy95

"Talk to you about it?" I asked with a dark laugh. "it's not as easy as you make it sound," "Yes, Garret! Talking! You know what that is right? It's very easy! You just open your mouth and let the words that are in your head, come out of your mouth." "It's not that simple," I fought down emotions that were building up. "Yes, it is! See, i'm doing it right now!" "No-it's not!" "Yes!" "No!" "Yes! just talk, dang it!-" "You just expect it to be easy to talk about my dead parents?! About how guilty I feel for not visiting their grave for the past 11 years?! I didn't even realize how long it's been, I had pretty much forgotten about them for 11 years! Do you know what kind of guilt is eating at me right now!"

You Don't Know Me by Oneirata_xia

I could still feel the numbness in my limbs and the piercing pain on my shoulder as I tried to adjust my eyes to the light. There was a constant banging sound in my ear and it was slowly fading away. My vision was blurry and as i adjust my focus, i saw all four of my so called brothers in front of me. They all looked.....worried. I was still not used to their insane acting skills because for a sec i believed it. Maybe I was deceiving myself. What if they actually cared? Before i completely lost it i woke up and tried to pull the plugs and syringe in me....and to say I regretted it was an understatement. Raffaele immediately held me and Damian was screaming for the doctor. I snapped and pushed him away. I didn't know why I was in an hospital. The last thing I remember was holding a gun against my head. "Where is he" The first person I looked for as soon as I woke up was him but he was no where to be seen. I was scared for him, my brothers were capable of doing anything. "He is dead" I couldn't make out who said it because as soon as I heard it my world went black. **************************** Amelia was deceived her whole life. The man she thought was her father was actually her kidnapper. She was locked away from the world her entire life and the constant abuse was all that she could remember . Years later, her brothers comes back to get her after finding out their long lost sister is alive...... But these brothers can't keep their little princess to themselves for long. Lucas Hermandez. To him Amelia is his light, the only one who can tame this demon. The moment when she went missing he turned the world upside down trying to find her. He'd burn the world if it meant he could find her. What will happen when he finds out she's back? Amelia's determined about one thing - never to trust anyone again, and her brothers are reluctant to win back her trust. She is no longer the sweet girl they once knew. ********************
