Los Angeles, 1986. The city of bright lights, big dreams, and even bigger heartbreaks.
When Nina lands a modeling contract in LA, she's thrown headfirst into a world of flashing cameras, ruthless competition, and a loneliness she never expected.
Then she meets Rex - the magnetic lead singer of a rock band on the edge of their big break. He's charming, reckless, impossible to ignore... and exactly the kind of trouble she promised herself to avoid.
As Nina fights to survive the brutal modeling industry, builds new friendships, and tries to find her place in a city that never stops moving, one question keeps echoing through the noise:
Will she be strong enough to stay true to herself - or will she lose herself in the very dream she came here to chase?

Fat. Ugly. Insecure. ✔
[Highest rank so far: #46 in short story] "It didn't matter that I was getting all A's on my report card. It didn't matter that I could read a book in less than two days. It didn't matter that I could perfect oil painting techniques. It didn't matter that I had a healthy diet and tried my best to exercise. None of it mattered. Simply because I had one unwanted characteristic called fat." *** This is one girl's story. From her point of view. No exaggerations, no extra, no lies, no holding back this time. When she looks in the mirror she sees nothing but her failure. She hears nothing but the ear shattering sound of opinions from everyone. Everything is targeted to her. Everything is wrong with her. WARNING: This story contains a view of the mind of one insecure female. This focuses on body image and shaming and touches upon topics of eating disorders.

THE FIRST MATCH
"𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄" (n.) a state of being pleasantly lost in one's day dream. °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ Alexios Vasilakis prefers silence over people. Transferring to Halstead College was never meant to be anything more than a clean escape; a place to play football, keep his head down, and stay far away from anything that might crack the control he's spent years building because control is the only thing he's ever had. Back in Greece, love came with conditions, and silence was safer than speaking, safer than feeling. Then there's Sienna Hartwell, loud in all the ways he isn't. Stubbornly kind and impossible to ignore. She slips through his carefully built walls without trying, without even realizing she's doing it and somehow, she becomes the one complication he can't seem to avoid or walk away from. °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ Sienna Hartwell has always believed love is worth the risk. Even after years of holding onto feelings for someone who never saw her the same way, she refuses to let disappointment harden her heart. So when the quiet, guarded Greek transfer student joins Halstead's football team, she doesn't see distance, she sees someone worth understanding and when Alex, against his better judgment, agrees to help her win over the boy she's always wanted, it should've been simple. It wasn't. Because somewhere between stolen glances, quiet moments and everything left unsaid. The lines begin to blur.
Red Skies | The Prime Archives #1
Six high school students. One impossible mission. And a power they never asked for... Kidnapped by the ruthless bio-terrorist group NEMESIS, the teens are exposed to a new element called Primonium-unlocking abilities only the rarest of humans, known as Primes, could possess. NEMESIS plans to unleash Primonium into the atmosphere, creating thousands of superhumans and reshaping society on their own twisted terms. Rescued by Atlas Corp., a private military organization dedicated to stopping NEMESIS, the six teens are thrust into a world of danger, espionage, and powers beyond their imagination. As new Primes, they must progress with their abilities, trust each other, and confront a rising threat that could kill millions. From high school parties to global battlefields, these six heroes must stop NEMESIS before the world changes forever. Evolution isn't a choice-it's a responsibility. And the clock is ticking. 🧬🧬🧬 Red Skies is a semi-grounded superhero story with some light progression elements. Think of it as Captain America meets X-Men meets Power Rangers meets My Hero Academia. There will be three books in the series, each of somewhere in the realm of 30-35 chapters apiece. The series contains 3 POVs, each dealing with different themes, character development, and aspects of the story. Chapters are 2,000-3,000 words, every Saturday at 12 PM EST.Complete
RIDDLE
She built walls to survive betrayal. He learned to be invisible to avoid judgment. Two broken people. One impossible pull. Amelia Harper doesn't trust love-not after it was used as a weapon against her. She believed in forever-in real love, the kind you'd fight for. But one cruel betrayal, a secret she never told, shattered that belief. Not all at once. Now she doesn't flirt. Doesn't chase. Doesn't fall. Not because she's cold-but because she's learned the truth: Love fades. People lie. And men? Not worth the risk. Dylan Brooks doesn't believe he's worthy of it-not when he's spent his life being the forgotten one. He's tired of pretending. Tired of shallow feelings and deeper expectations. They both believe love is just a thing people use to feel something. To touch. To be touched. To escape loneliness. Not real. Not lasting. Not for them. The kind of connection that breaks walls. The kind that demands surrender. But falling in love when you've been broken before? When trust feels like a risk you can't afford? When every touch feels like standing at the edge of something that could destroy you? That's the hardest thing either of them has ever done. Love isn't a riddle with easy answers. And some scars don't heal just because you want them to. But maybe-just maybe-being broken doesn't mean you can't be whole with someone else. A slow-burn romance about two people learning they're enough. --- Berlin. Financial corruption. Found families. Silent gestures that speak louder than words. Updates: Every Sunday Mature themes | Slow Burn | Dual POV | Emotional Depth | He Fell First, She Fell Harder
