Jerry Smith never thought he'd start over. After a bitter divorce, he's broke, living out of a motel, and convinced he's nothing more than a failure.
Then he matched with her.
Lauren is everything Jerry isn't-successful, confident, radiant. Where he sees weakness, she sees potential. Where he feels broken, she reminds him he's worth loving.
What begins as awkward dates and hesitant trust soon turns into something deeper: a love that rebuilds him piece by piece. With Lauren by his side, Jerry starts to believe he can be more than the man everyone gave up on.
A story of love, healing, and second chances.

𝓒𝓱𝓪𝓸𝓽𝓲𝓬 𝓒𝓸𝓷𝓼𝓽𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓸𝓷𝓼 (Rick and Morty Fanfic 2)
"All this time I was trying so hard to pretend like everything's fine, but it's not. He's back, my dad's gone, Mom takes Rick's side no matter what, I've got no friends outside of home because everyone's afraid to befriend me, thinking that I'm gonna kill them. I'm tired of faking a smile, I'm tired of keeping quiet about things, I think it's about time I change things up a bit." "Mhm. Maybe it's about time your Rick is taught a lesson. I taught mine one he'd never forget. And the last time he gave me another issue, I didn't give him another chance. It's hard for you to give someone a problem if you're dead." (Seasons 3 & 4, probably 5) (I don't own Rick and Morty or it's characters or Adult Swim and such yadda yadda.)

A sequel of Growing Pains, where reader is a Master's student who met Rick tutoring Morty. This is a reader/Rick Sanchez fic with a lot of smut, a lot of heartache, a good amount of depth, and also (hopefully) a good mind fuck! Some questions from the previous fic are answered and some are not. You don't have to read the previous fic for this to make sense, but it might help/be more enjoyable that way. I'm bad at summaries (:Complete
