Hate Looks Good on You. Benny R.
They've hated each other since before they could spell the word. Same town. Same street. Same school. From the sandbox till now , they've been locked in an endless game of insults, eye rolls, and who-can-be-louder. But then, when they were ten-just for a second-everything shifted. It wasn't planned. It wasn't talked about. One summer night, too much quiet, too many stars, and suddenly... they almost kissed. Not because they liked each other. Not because the rivalry was gone. But because, in that moment, something between them cracked open. And then it was over. They never spoke about it. They went back to the way things were. Sharp words. Cold shoulders. Loud silences. Now they're 15. Older. Bolder. And somehow, that one second they never talk about? It's louder than ever. He looks at her like he wants to win and ruin her in the same breath. She talks to him like she hates him-but she never looks away. It's still a war. It's still personal. But every fight feels like it's covering up something they're too afraid to say out loud. Because that almost-kiss may be five years old... But the tension? It never left. And the next time their guard slips, someone might actually cross the line.Complete
City Of Changes || ✔️
STAND ALONE FANFICTION I've given up editing this because it's honestly so cringey reading through this so please read at your own risk. Advice: I recommend you read every book of the Mortal Instruments, the Infernal Devices, and the Shadowhunter Academy, or else you will be spoiled. It has been a week since the marriage of Jocelyn Fray and Luke Garroway. They're off on a two week long trip to the Bahamas for their honeymoon while their daughter, Clary Fray, is at home continuing her studies as a Shadowhunter. When Clary catches Jace in the act of cheating, she runs away. But when she soon returns, secrets unveil, and the young Shadowhunters from the New York Institute soon find themselves in the middle of yet another threat. Join Clary, Jace, Simon, Isabelle, Alec, Magnus, and many more in this fan fiction adventure that occurs after City Of Heavenly Fire All characters (except for a few I made up) and some places belong to author Cassandra Clare! Also, some scenes I use also belong to author Cassandra Clare because I took them out of the book to make my story as close to the real book as possible! This is just a fan fiction I made up that I thought would be fun to tell! This story does have some pretty strong language and mature scenes, so please read at your own risk.
