Atticus Deane was just a boy; a broken, misguided boy. It was an accident; no one told him how to play life's game. He had to make up his own rules, but where did that get him? In an abusive relationship with his older brother and all his bad friends. That wasn't what he bargained for.

But Atticus left that life behind; he was rebuilding a new apartment and doing the same with a new life.

Well, trying.

Atticus and his brother never got along after their parents left. He never spoke a word to his brother if it weren't mean and cruel, which was why a request to join in on his big brother's 'fun' and 'games' was a surprise to everyone, much less himself.

But when things are taken way too far, Atticus is suddenly running and ends up at the doorstep of an unusual compound that sparks something in his instincts. Taking refuge away from the poison of others, Atticus knew that he couldn't hide forever, but he'd do anything to be left alone so he didn't have to hide anymore.

Unfortunately he wasn't the only resident in this newly-found dwelling, because this newcomer wanted the exact same thing that he did.

Fresh into her last semester of high school, Len is looking forward to three things: spending time with her recent close-friend-turned-girlfriend, completing a summer road trip with her brother Brendon, and finally, getting the hell out of her hometown, to an out-of-state college where she'll be able to reinvent herself as whoever she would be if her Catholic mom wasn't always breathing down her neck. But then Brendon commits suicide, leaving behind a cell phone with a series of messages meant for Len alone. To unlock the messages, and find whatever Brendon wanted her to find, Len must confront painful memories - and painful truths about herself. *DO NOT READ if you are triggered by suicide or suicidal ideation* (This is a very very very rough draft.)

Adrica likes finding the hidden features and secrets in the apps on her phone; even an app like Potty Genius which she only has because she was gifted a second hand tablet by her cousin. Some apps have a joke hidden somewhere in them, or even a secret game. But she never suspected that this one would be able to change her life. This story was suggested by the wonderful people on my Patreon; and I wrote at least 1667 words of it every day during November 2022, before finally finishing on 2023-01-18.

NANOWRIMO 2019, LET'S GO! :) U.S Army veteran Alessio Milani never asked for the hand fate dealt him. He was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, which led him into the depths of NYC's criminal underground. Now, as director of the infamous smuggling and counterfeiting syndicate known as "The Flight," he commands respect from his people with a just but iron fist, operating with only a few cardinal rules: 1) Keep it clean. 2) No dealing in people. 3) Never touch women without their consent. Alessio takes care of violators personally. He never desired marriage. Considering his clandestine (and illegal) profession, the notion never crossed his mind. The less people known to be associated with him, the less individuals he puts at risk. He finds himself at the altar, however, with a shy bride because his best friend, Thaddeus Andino, asked Alessio to protect his niece...and, well, Alessio's instincts kicked in, and he couldn't say no. He doesn't know how he's going to make this work, and neither does Vasilisa Andino--nay, Vasilisa Milani. Alessio tries to keep her life separate from his as much as possible...but Murphy's law seems to rule differently. Only God knows what'll happen next.

In which I fall in love with my brother's best friend. ***** "Don't pretend like you don't feel anything." His voice is low, sending shivers down my spine. "What do you mean?" "You know damn well what I mean." "I don't know what you're talking about." I pretend to ignore him, flipping some pages in my book. "Come on. I have all these assignments waiting. Aren't you supposed to teach me tonight?" "It depends on what you want me to teach." He smirks, his voice sounding even more dangerous. ***** I thought that my brother was the most popular guy in school, but as soon as I step into my university life, I realize how wrong I was. Meet Vaughn Cooper, his best friend. The guy is the epitome of every girl's dream. Godlike handsome. The quarterback. He's got the looks, and he's got the brain. Come on, he's got the scholarship to one of the most prestigious universities in the country, while I have just barely passed the entrance examination after long years of struggle during high school. How could a guy who worked that hard and deserves nothing more but adoration be labeled as a bad boy? Yeah, the answer is simple. The moment we lock eyes, I realize something as I stare into those piercing, amber eyes. He's not every girl's dream. He's every girl's nightmare. In my case, MY nightmare. Calm down, heart.
