Kissed by God
One life, one chance. That's what they say. But what if there's a loophole? What if a second chance is only possible for those who choose to end their own lives? A chance to fix everything and go back. Haunted by the death of the man she loved, young Christy chooses to end her pain. Yet, death is not an ending.

THE DINER
None of it was real. Yet I spent a year looking for clues. Who, what, when, where, and why? Who made her this way? What does she know that I don't? When did she change? Where did she go? Why did I crave her? Her time, her touch, her secrets, her pain, her beauty. It was all such a fascinating lie. A mercurial high. A question only answered with nothing but time. But god.. the greatest mystery of all? was her love. -GXG -ROMANCE -MYSTERY - THRILLERComplete

Fever Dream
I didn't go to that party looking for anything, if I'm being totally honest I didn't even want to go. But when her eyes caught mine, something in me shifted. My closed off self began to open up without warning. I've worked hard to build a life that looks beautiful from the outside-even if sometimes, I don't always feel beautiful on the inside. I've kept people at arm's length. I've told myself I'm fine being alone. Then Billie kissed me. And suddenly, I wasn't so sure about anything. This story is about us. About falling in love when you least expect it. About trust, and timing, and choosing each other again and again-even when it's scary. Even when it's messy. This is our Fever Dream. 🥇 eilish - 14.07.25 🥇 billieilishfanfic 14.07.25Complete
