A night in shining amour comes sweeping a damsel in distress off her feet. That is what's supposed to happen right ? But What if we lived in a world where there was at least one person who decided she no longer needed a boyfriend to put her broken pieces back together from what her ex bf did... What if we lived in a world where at least one person decided they wanted to be their own saving grace. Follow along as Kayli learns and teaches the importance of self love. *not edited*

Threads of Distant Worlds by PiaasJags

📌 Disclaimer This is a fictional story created by the author. All rights are reserved. Any copying, reposting, or misuse without permission is strictly prohibited and may result in the user being reported and blocked. Please respect original work. Story Highlights: He was once the light in every room-charming, generous, full of effortless warmth. Raised in comfort and surrounded by love, his world was golden and untouched by sorrow. But life shifted-quietly. The boy who gave so much began turning inward, learning to care for himself in silence. Laughter faded. Connections dimmed. Though wealth remained, he chose to rebuild from his own scars. Maturity wasn't a choice-it was survival. Now, he moves through life as a stylish, enigmatic wanderer-fit, guarded, alone. He trusts less, feels deeper, and carries secrets no one knows. Yet beneath it all, he waits-for something real, for someone who sees all of him. She, on the other hand, was born into silence. A soft, chubby girl with kind eyes who grew up under the weight of control, judgment, and emotional bruises. Her home lacked safety. The world, even less. But in her darkest moments, she found strength-in a quiet prayer, in a movie that sparked hope, in a spiritual bond with Ganesha that anchored her soul. Slowly, she stitched herself back together-becoming fierce in love, loud in laughter, and deep in belief. She doesn't need saving. She needs to be seen-for the strong woman she's become and the wounded girl she carries within. What happens when two broken souls-one guarded by silence, the other forged in pain-cross paths not in chaos, but in quiet? When love doesn't come to rescue, but to reveal? Can he open his heart again? Can she believe that love, this time, will stay? Will he return to his family not as the boy who left, but as the man love helped him become? Will she finally be seen-not as someone to fix, but as someone to cherish?

Fluke by kennedy_trent

"For a place called Paradise City, this island sucks. I don't think a single day has gone by that I haven't thought about stabbing the shit out of myself," he said. "Especially since I'm forced to live with you every second of every day." "Sh. I'm trying to science," I said, not looking up from my binoculars. "See anything interesting?" "Not really. My vision's a little clouded from the fog and rain clouds you constantly emit." He laughed. "You never fail to amuse me, Rea." "But you just said-" "I just said you make me want to stab myself. Interpret that however you'd like." With a love for whales and all life (besides maybe humans), Reagan Winebrenner had never even seen an ocean until her senior year in high school. But the moment she saw her first humpback, she knew she had found her passion and future career. A few years later and an invitation to Paradise City in hand, Reagan has her entire summer laid out for her, working on the project of a lifetime. But with five other students completing their projects as well, will they discover something worthwhile, or will they end up a psychology lesson for future generations? A New Adult Watty Winner 2019

REBEL HEART (GxG) by tarlutz_tl

REBEL HEART Luxury never made me happy. It's just a distraction from this solitary world, only filling the shallow holes and never satiating the emptiness deep in my soul. At the end of the day, after the fleeting feeling of happiness had gone, I still find myself craving for something, aching for one thing that could make me whole. Million dollar question is: What could that be? Could it be something I don't have? Could it be someone I've never met? My name's Gab and I was sent to Chicago to fulfill my Uncle's wish and somehow escape this predicament. Then I ask myself, will I find it here? Do all roads take you to the right places? And in the event of finding it, will it make me whole, complete or even happy?
