"'Cause I am only a crack, in this castle of Glass; nothing left for you to see."
Leia and Josh have been BFFs (turned lovers)since eternity. But will growing up, darkness- LIFE drift them apart?
It's a life lived in dreams for Leia Knightswood as she lives her nights in bars, being hung over and broken for a reason she herself is unsure about. Her past has been a mess; she lives her life trying to push away her past- and never think of it as her own. No one ever knew her story, a story that's so young and so full of, well, EVERYTHING. Life has made her a bitter and closed person- so much so that she has always lived a life void of any compromises on her emotional torture on herself. All her days are spent in nights that never have an end for her. She denies and she keeps it forever undercover from the rest of the world
But a day DOES come- a day when she actually comes to believe that her life is meant to be lived with her emotions ACCEPTED. That someone could still mend her broken self, and light her path out of her Black Hole of NY nightlife. That maybe, it's OK to depend on someone when life throws cheese balls at you (her cheese ball was rather bigger, though).
THAT'S when he leaves her alone, again. After bringing her to a place where she could be happy- which she thought she would be ALWAYS sharing with him... till the ending; whether it be a good, or bad one
Either the end never meant to be what she expected- or maybe, SHE was the one meant to be broken .

His Sunshine | ✓
She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.

Too Late For Rescue (Finn x Reader) {Sequel}
You, Y/N, couldn't be happier in your entire life. The love of your life is fighting with you side by side and helping keep others safe and out of danger. His kindness extends to the far reaches of Ooo for you and he has made it very evident that he would do anything if it meant keeping you safe. You undoubtedly express the same feelings towards him on the battle field and especially off of it, taking great care of him and his comrades whenever they get hurt or are just in need of a friend. Soon, however, Finn starts leaving the tree house more frequently and he becomes a little distant. You don't take it too personally, but his ghosting mood starts to become a common thing in your relationship, and your suspicions arise. He'll leave late at night and come back the next day when it's almost dawn, covered in bruises or even still bleeding. He tells you it's fine, plugging in excuses for his behavior, until one night in the woods you find him with another girl. You had never been on quite steady terms with most wizards, but this one had to be the worst. The two of you have dark history and with Finn now getting in the mix without his understanding makes him a dangerous advantage to her. If this "training" keeps up with him coming home with more injuries then you will have to stop them. What if this girl doesn't stop? What if she keeps going until she kills him? What if she kills him to get to you? You can't risk your hero getting hurt by one of your own enemies. Once upon a time he lost you when you were too far from reach; you aren't going to lose him now when he's this close. If she wants to play tug of war with Finn then you'll entertain her. But the last thing you will do is allow him to be on the wrong side of wizardry. Because as far as your concerned, you're in the right.
