Chelsea Callahan moved from New York to Los Angeles for a fresh start, not to fall for anyone. Especially not a slightly rumpled journalist one floor down in her office building.
Nick Garcia knows better than to go after the hot girl from level seven. Girls like Chelsea don't look at men like him twice. Anyway, he's only nursing a harmless crush from afar.
Then a building evacuation throws them into each other's arms.
What starts with stairwells, coffee run-ins and not-quite-dates turns into something far messier: intense attraction, public humiliation, class snobbery, old heartbreak and the kind of love that feels wonderful right up until it starts ruining your life.
Because Nick isn't Chelsea's first great love. And Connor - the beautiful paramedic she left behind in New York - is not as far in the past as he should be.

The Queen of Monsters
Three hundred years ago, the Earth split and the sky trembled. And then the monsters came. The island of Lowynn is cursed. The Veil between worlds has torn, and now, monsters come with vengeance. They can only be placated by the blood of sorcerers. To be born draodih is a death sentence-- for they are the curse. Ciara Byrne is the daughter of the King's greatest witch hunter. She has lived her whole life in luxury bought with spilled blood, until a terrible secret turns her into the most wanted woman in Lowynn. Timid and naïve, Ciara finds herself wholly unprepared, the most important pawn in a complicated world of politics and war. As family loyalties twist and alliances change, her mere survival brings with it civil war. Epic battles, fearsome beasts, and ancient secrets threaten her at every turn. She will split the world. The Skaara has long been part of a dying people-- after centuries, he is one of the last draodih left. Until her. Blessed with a rare kind of power, the Skaara has the ability to hunt down the last traces of magic in the world. Enslaved to the King since childhood, his duty has always been to hunt. Killing Ciara is his newest mission, and one that his life depends upon. It is a painful life, forged in blood and steel. But, violent as it may be, it is all he has ever known. Until her.

Gravely Yours - Jack Abbot | The Pitt
Camryn Wells wasn't trying to rebuild her life so much as outrun the version of it that nearly destroyed her. After a year and a half off the grid, nursing wounds no one could see and some that still ached like hell, she's back in Pittsburgh. Sort of. She's here for Gwen, the woman who adopted her, who's now fading into early-onset dementia. She's on night shift, working trauma at PTMC, trying to remember the nurse she used to be-and to convince her small army of overprotective siblings that she's fine now. That she's not the broken girl they saw in that hospital bed in Boston. Camryn is sunshine incarnate: bright-eyed, too kind, stubbornly hopeful, and despite everything, still believes in second chances. What she didn't plan on? Her new next-door neighbor just happens to be the gruff, quiet, unflinchingly calm ED attending who runs her shift with surgical precision... and dry quips that cut sharper than a scalpel. Dr. Jack Abbot doesn't do distractions. Not from interns. Not from administration. And definitely not from the impossibly cheerful nurse who crash-landed into his backyard and, somehow, into his life. Guarded, fiercely competent, and more at ease in chaos than comfort, Jack prefers solitude-until Camryn. With her pastel mugs, man-hating cat, and maddening habit of calling him out with a smile, she worms her way into every corner of his neatly boxed-off world. She's not what he expected. And he's exactly what she wasn't ready for. But on the night shift, where everything broken comes through the door eventually, maybe they'll both learn healing doesn't always look like what you thought.
My Fairy Tail one shots (still on going)
(If you're not reading this on Wattpad, you're reading an illegal copyright version of it) Although this is marked as complete I will still post and have plenty of ideas left. Here is my very own collection of fairy tail one shots for my favorite ships. The ships I will include: Nalu (most of these will this ship), Gale/Gajevy, Gruvia, Mirareed, Stingyu, Plus a few more I'll mention when I do them. If you enjoy this you can all thank @riolutrainer for this, because without them, I never would have started Fairy Tail and wouldn't have come up with these ideas. A few things: 1) If you spot a typo let me know so I can fix it. Please and thank you! 2) I won't be using things like sama, Chan, or stuff like that since I don't know what they mean cause I watched the dub. I don't own the art of the cover or Fairy tail. I only own my Oc's Nina and the story ideas.Complete

Between Hope and Reality
In spring it blossoms, but in winter it really thrives, as cold as the mountain top, and as beautiful from the view at the top. It was as green as grass. But bluer than skies. When the leaves were carried by the wind, when flowers bloom slowly again, when rain made a soft but true melody, or when snow was full of memories. Is when the lotus appears, born from dirt and mud, but somehow springs up to grow as a beautiful flower. Loved by all, but themselve. The lotus can smile, but are they really happy? The lotus can cry, but are they really sad? The lotus can feel nothing, but aren't they just feeling too much? Between Hope and Reality is an ongoing journey through thoughts, emotions, and quiet truths. Blending reflection with personal honesty, each chapter explores themes of loneliness, hope, healing, and what it means to simply be human. This is not a finished story-new chapters will continue to unfold, piece by piece, as life does. It's for anyone who's ever felt out of place, dreamed of something more, or fought to keep going when it would've been easier to stop. Each entry is written with care, from the heart. Thank you for walking this path with me-one chapter at a time. (First published on Wattpad by Distinct-unique_bird. If you're reading this anywhere else, it was taken without my permission.)
