Unbroken || Dan Howell x reader
Moving to London, finally. New people, new home, new life. You can forget all of your problems back in North America, with the help of someone special... _____________ Forewarning: I wrote this story many years ago, so I apologize for all the spelling mistakes, grammar issues and the overall overused plot. My writing has since improved, but I'd rather not edit and correct all these things for the sake of looking back on how much I've grown and changed, writing-wise. Thanks for your understanding!Complete
Nos Amours Échouées (MxM) (English)
Please read only if you are comfortable with sad endings, though this story will have a sequel with a happy ending at some point. Sébastien and Benjamin met in middle school in Brittany, a region in the West of France. Sébastien always aspired to follow his father's footsteps and take over his fishing business, while Benjamin had a calling to become a History teacher. Despite the turmoils of teenage life, slowly discovering each other, they carefully plan their future together, but that was counting without Benjamin's parents' determination to separate them, leading the two young adults to live in Paris. Fifteen years after their first encounter, the two men are still building their future in the Capital. The unqualified Sébastien lives on small jobs, while Benjamin embraces a promising career in journalism that might lead him far. Maybe too far for Sébastien who only dreams of returning to his native Brittany. * * * This short story is inspired by a song called Les Meurtrières by Damien Saez. I could tell you to go and check it on Dailymotion, but it's in French. I could also provide a translation, but I would never be able to convey the beauty of his words. So just know that this is about a man who lost his love and that it ends very sadly. As will this story. So please do not read if you are not comfortable with tragic endings.Complete

Tempted
I had it all planned out-focus on CAPE, stay out of drama, and make my mother proud. But that was before Dantae walked into my life. He's a foreign exchange student from Wisconsin, with an accent that melts steel and a smile that makes girls forget their name. And he just had to end up at JC, right across from Wolmer's. Figures. We weren't supposed to talk. We weren't supposed to meet up after school. We definitely weren't supposed to feel this... tempted. But in Kingston heat, rules get blurry. And so does the line between right and reckless. "One summer. One boy. One chance to rewrite everything I thought I knew about love".
You Don't Understand
So what happens when you mix Indian parents and a diverse country? You get a deranged daughter. Okay, maybe I'm not deranged, but apparently I do appear as one in my parents' eyes. Here's the 101 on my life so far: You move out from the only home you knew into a completely different country with people talking in spectacular accents you wish to have. You love hockey, but can't find any rinks near town. You make some friends, but find out they're infatuated with the hit boy band you absolutely and utterly hate. And then you have the morbid parents who only seem to accept you when achieving high marks in the academics. I've got one hell of a life, but I heard I only have half the package of what normal brown parents sprout onto their children. Uh, I think a shiver ran down my spine. How can it get any more worse than my mom and dad? So what do you expect me to do, when my faith in the Toronto Maple Leafs go down the drain, and I'm forced to attend this meet and greet with the band I absolutely despise, nonetheless, One Direction. In a turn of events, I'm dating someone, maybe even falling in love. Did I mention the 'No Boys Allowed' rule? Yeah well, there's no dating in this household either. So I did some serious deception. However, it makes me wonder if I rather love and be loved by my boyfriend or win the approval of my parents. By the way, I'm Jessa Surtha and I'm in for one hell of a ride.Complete
