Luce D'Amico received the first letter on her eleventh birthday. Her heart warmed up at the sight of the familiar handwriting accompanying the words scrawled on the thin sheet of paper. As promised, she replied almost immediately.
Over the course of the years, the letters grew more platonic.
"Dear Luce; how are you doing? Everything's good here."
"Adam: nice to hear from you. I've got a track meet next Friday."
It wasn't the regular conversations they used to share. Anyone who read the letters would have a hard time believing these were the friends who used to share secrets without breathing a word. It was in their youth that they found the most pleasure. At least, once upon a time. Adam doesn't like recalling the past, and what memories fill it.
Little does Luce know: the reason for that is because the Adam she thinks she knows isn't who he says he is. You could say he was a complete stranger compared to who she imagines she's writing to, and you'd be right...literally.

All Grace Christopher wanted was to be normal. To feel again. She doesn't quite remember how it happened. One day she was your typical girl- popular with a reasonably good social life and loads of friends. The next day.. she was all alone. And she had never felt this alone before. Suddenly she had no friends at all. Maybe that's when her feelings faded. She turned more or less into a machine. Flash forward to when Ethan Smith- one of the jocks with a 'reasonably good' social life thinks Grace wants to die when she's dangling off the roof. She lets him in. After such a long time she finally let someone in- because he's too persistent and stubborn not to have let himself in. Will he be the one that will make Grace feel again? Will Grace find what she's been unconsciously searching for her entire life- peace? ...... Ethan didn't know he was hurting until he met her, until he talked to her. He chased after her, for a friendship, wanting to heal her, but she might be his cure.Complete
Little Annotations | Tristan Dugray
❝ Dear Genevieve, I don't blame you for not believing in love, I didn't until I met you. You have a way of making me feel happy. Being in your proximity makes me feel better than any drug could (Not that I've done drugs). I have to wonder though, what goes on in that pretty little head of yours Genevieve? What goes on in that incessantly working brain of yours? Because I'll tell you what goes on in mine: The way you carry yourself. You walk into a room and you command attention without saying a word. You're so intelligent, and you know it. I adore your confidence, and how you know that you're beautiful. Fuck. You're gorgeous. You're like a girl sent from the heavens above. We were talking about love letters, and you sighed and said, "Imagine someone being so engrossed with you that you receive love letters." Well, not to sound like an utter nincompoop, but I've been writing you love letters since we were ten. So, Genevieve. Say the word and I'm yours. Or don't. I'll still love you either way. Yours, Tristan. ❞ - - 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝘂𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝘅 𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝘂𝘀: 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗲𝗯. 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟮Complete
Meeting Luke in 27 Days
"I know it doesn't makes sense, to wait for someone for so long just because I am holding on to his promise that he will come back to me. He might have even forgot about that, but still..." I choked as I am trying not cry. "Here I am, looking forward to see him after 7 long years, expecting him to tell me that he's coming back for me." I told her as tears flowed from my eyes. "Adam was right, I never loved anyone but Luke. It was always been Luke for me even if I have exactly no idea what I am for him now. I was just his past, his highschool sweetheart."Complete

"Asher?" "You know my name?" "Just a wild guess," I blurted out. I just met Asher, didn't want him to think I was a complete freak. Wow that sentence sounds familiar? "Okay, fair enough. But what's not fair is that I don't know your name." I chuckled, "Well, we're probably not gonna meet each other after this so why bother knowing it?" Asher stretches back the hand that he reached out to me and I felt guilty for being so rude but I'm not about to give out my name to him anytime soon. For all I know, he could spread horrible rumors about me since he in fact, was in the popular circle. "Alright, feisty." {UNEDITED} Disclaimer: I wrote this book a year ago, and it was when my grammar and my writing skills wasn't so good, so I'm sorry if this is really cringe, or bad! But so far, a lot of you have been liking it so I'm keeping it up.Complete

The following story is the result of a game I played with a fellow writer, a fan of Fantasy and Manga. Basically, I offered to email him the beginning of a story. He would write the next part and send it back to me. I would write the next part, send it, and so on. But he didn't have enough time to take part in this little game. I then suggested that we write a story in the form of a serial and send the parts to each other by e-mail, once a week, for two months. My plan was to turn it into a summer mini-series. Caught up in the story, this attempt lasted through autumn, and winter, and was finished in spring. So, my first thanks go to you, Jeremy. I'd also like to thank the most diligent critic of my writing: Renault. Your corrections and comments were very relevant and were a great help. I hope that I will, at long last, be able to buy you a drink and discuss it with you face to face. As we haven't seen each other for more than five years, we probably won't even recognise one another anymore. Through my writing I have had the privilege of meeting a lot of different people, from all walks of life, but mostly waiters and waitresses in the (far too) numerous Brussels cafés, Exki, Pain Quotidien, and others, where I write, as well as the hotel staff in the Novotel, where I was living. I thank all of you for your kindness and the interest you showed in my stories. Writing is a solitary process, but has its rewards. I wish you all, through your reading, a life full of dreams and adventure.Complete
The Rose Necklace
A "Beauty and the Beast" retelling. Once upon a time, there was a boy in love with a Lilly. Not a flower, but a girl. It all started one beautiful autumn day. One autumn day that would change the boy's life forever. For on this day, he met Lilly, a beautiful girl with an ugly secret. A secret that threatens to destroy her if she cannot find a way to break the curse forced upon her. Filled with secrets, lies, and love, this short story captures the essence of the original fairy tale with an entirely new twist. ~~~ "Hello, my name is Lilly. What's yours? Is that your mother? I only just came to live here with Ivy, and I don't know many people that come to visit her yet. Do you come often? If you do, we could be friends! Would you like that? To be friends? Why, don't you speak at all? And you should really close your mouth; it is impolite to stare like that." Ivy called out to her from the doorway of the cottage. "Lilly, if you want him to speak, you must first cease speaking." Both of the women were laughing at the children, and Lilly blushed at the comment. "Sorry! I just haven't seen anyone my age yet, and I got excited, which happens rather easily. It reminds me a bit of puppies I've read about that just get so excited that they- oops. I'm doing it again. Sorry," she said with a shy smile. Adam, who had been standing there staring, just as she had pointed out, finally found his voice long enough to tell her his name. She beamed at him, saying that they would be great friends. She seized his hand and began tugging him toward the woods behind the cottage, shouting to Ivy and his mother, "We won't go far! Be back soon!" ~~~Complete

beside you :: cel {sequel to a+}
"Don't you get it? I've spent the past five years running that conversation through my head. I messed up. I lied. I have to feel the pain. Please, just, I don't know, forgive me."
