Inversion [Camp NaNoWriMo July 2021] by illusoire

In which I make a choice and it's just not the same. ━ Allyra King never meant to do a lot of things. She never meant to be guilted into going to the party. She never meant to get drunk.

Mitchell King never meant to do a lot of things. He never meant to blame Ally for his son's death. He never meant to wish her dead. He never meant for his wish to come true. One fateful night and five words later, Ally's life is turned upside down when she runs into the mysterious and enigmatic Cian Sampson, a boy who seems to know everything there is to know about her. With the help of Cian, and just a little bit of the impossible, Allyra King transforms into Lyra, just Lyra, and sets about trying to right her wrongs.

Sentiments by rororowyoboat

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.
