My Little Bunny || JJK (Old)
"I love you my little bunny." I say loud enough so that only he can hear me. He smiled and closed his eyes as he rested his head on the desk... then I hear him mumble softly "l-love you." . . This story is about a girl named Lee Yn and a boy named Jeon Jungkook, the two seemed like an ordinary couple at first glance. But what happens when a normal girl starts dating someone with autism? What trials will they face? What will people around them think? [Both story and story cover were made by me: @Andyywritesstuff] --------------------------- 2022 Andyywritesstuff here with a message for those who stumble upon this book. The book and it's very sensitive subject (Autism) - was first in progress back in 2017. Andy was just a young High-school student who had only loved writing back in her school days with her notebooks filled with different stories and she thought it would be interesting to write a book about a character with Autism - unfortunately, she only ever did little research on the matter and started writing this book very blindly, taking inspiration from other authors and their stories. She never expected the story to blow up as it did and although she's grateful, that doesn't take away from the offense that she may have caused some of her readers and with a moved hearty full of regret -- she's decided to upgrade the story and write it better with now having the proper research under her belt. So get ready everyone -- "My Little Bunny || JJK" is coming back a new in 2023!! ---------------------------- 🥇Ranks: #1 in #btslovestory #1 in #btsxreader #1 in #btsjungkook #1 in #btsjjkComplete
Boy From Nowhere
A deaf boy, named Nigel, settles in the image of what everyone sees him as: a once hearing-to-deaf and pitiful teen. With that, he's able to hide the his true and dark nature that allows him to take revenge out on those who hurt someone he cared for the most. Until one of those people he intends to punish, Evan, happens to be someone he didn't expect to care for. Someone he can't decide to hurt, or protect from his own nature he can't help. *** "Why are you looking at my lips?" Evan questions him, and he saw Nigel look back at them again. "Are you into dudes or something? Listen, I'm straight, but I don't have a problem with gay dudes. Just don't try to force your sexuality onto me, that's pretty shitty." The more he spoke, the more Nigel would look at his lips. Evan began to cover his mouth now and saw Nigel almost look offended by him doing so. Now he was confused and raised his eyebrow. Only to see Nigel sigh, stepping back as he looked down at Evan in contempt. "I am deaf, but I can read lips perfectly. You really have no filter, saying whatever you want without the consideration of how others might feel." Nigel spoke up, shocking Evan as he heard his voice for the first time. "I'm bisexual, not gay; but you don't need to worry. I wouldn't dream of forcing anything upon anyone. Besides, I'd never like somebody like you." Evan watched as Nigel began to reach behind the counter, pulling up a camera out of nowhere. That's when his picture was taken on the spot and he flinched. Except Nigel just connected the camera to the computer as Evan's picture was extracted. Set on a template for a library card, he saw Nigel working on it. He didn't care about that though as it was the words that he said. 'Besides, I'd never like somebody like you.' That was ringing in his mind more than anything else because... "Wait, I think I heard you wrong."

But when she does, people tend to find it creepy or they begin to fear her. She has a loving family, is an only child and has everything she could want. Makes you wonder why she is like this.... That's for another time though... After an... incident, at her other school, she is transferred to Nevermore Academy. Her father was an angel, her mother being a demon who has chosen to be good, fell in love and had y/n. Y/n is a hybrid because of this. Her demon side takes affect more than it should though. Her parents chose for her to go to Nevermore so she could be around other kids like her. Meaning other outcasts. Her parents want her to make friends. Or even someone to love.

Hidden Roses
Pax is a fifteen year old (rising junior) with no sense of self love and also with a shitty family. He grew up in a world where he hadn't heard a lot of things even existed, like anything in the LGBT spectrum, and he'd grown up in churches that exiled the word "gay". In sixth grade, everything finally clicked. He was transgender. Just because he realized it, though, didn't mean his entire life would become perfect. From the time he was twelve on, he was sick and confused and altogether terrified of what he's become. After he came out to all of friends, most of them ditched him until his only friends were the school's gay power couple and a nonbinary internet friend he'd never even talked to in real life, and only them to help him and figure out everything that needs figuring out. In this coming-out story, I delve basically into what was my young teenage years - so I included quite a lot of things I went through. Some triggers this might include are: -transphobia -homophobia -vague references to self harm -suicidal thoughts & actions -SPOILER: Pax is kicked out at some point; I'd suggest that you don't read it if you're not comfortable with that because that's the climax. 600 reads?? 100 votes???
