The Girl Who Made Life Worth Living
Finn has been the man of the house since he was a child. Simply surviving, he doesn't want any more responsibility than he's already burdened with at 18 - until he helps a mysterious abused girl he met near his new workplace. His caring and protective nature quickly brings her into his life but their budding relationship falls apart just as fast, until an incident and the subsequent events make them slowly come back together. Later, when Finn loses the only other thing he cares about in life he's faced with the choice of driving her away or being vulnerable enough to depend on her. Maybe she can finally make him feel taken care of back; the one thing that he's always truly needed. A more mature and healthy rewrite of a book I started writing when I was 14, inspired by the trashy, dramatic, emo love stories I was obsessed with on this platform a decade ago. I was dealing with a lot at the time so I came up with this book idea, where both main characters have dramatized aspects of myself in them, as a way to make myself feel lovable, so writing this now is a nostalgic and creative way of looking back, processing, and letting go of the emotions I was going through as an adolescent. I hope you enjoy!

Different stars, same sky
Nova was born to be a weapon. Trained as an elite soldier, Nova once led a team that never came back. After a mission gone devastatingly wrong and a rampage that made even the Guardians fear her, her memories were erased. Now, she's seventeen again-at least on paper-living with distant relatives in a city that doesn't feel like home, attending a militarized academy built on the ruins of her childhood. She remembers her name. She remembers nothing else. Rebellious, haunted, and lost in the blur of a life she doesn't recognize, Nova starts seeing things-echoes of the friends she lost, pieces of her old self. The Elite Guardians are watching her, some suspecting she's faking it. Among them is Kade-cold, unreadable, and strangely familiar. And there are others: students, soldiers, ghosts, and enemies who seem to know more about her than she does herself. As Nova begins to unlock terrifying truths about her past, her powers return-and so do the questions: Who was she before they erased her? Why did her team really die? And what is she truly capable of now? In a world where secrets kill and memories lie, Nova must choose between the girl she was, the weapon they made her, and the future she wants. A story of broken memories, forbidden power, and a love that might cost everything.Complete

╚»★❝𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙫𝙚 𝙢𝙚 𝙞𝙛 𝙄 𝙨𝙖𝙞𝙙 𝙄'𝙢 𝙞𝙣 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚?❞★«╝ . . . College AU | Rainbow Dash isn't perfect, no matter how much people praise her for her athletic skills, or her captivating smile that made almost every girl blush, or her natural flirtatious behavior. Rainbow had a reputation that consisted of being cocky, flirting, and talking about herself 24/7, but this was the Rainbow that the people in public knew; she suffered in silence. She's not always 100% confident in everything she does, her heart still has scars from abandonment and terrible childhood experiences, she had relationship problems in the past, she was misunderstood, she avoids thinking because it only leads her to becoming emotional, and Rainbow always pushes her emotions away. She smiled in front of everyone like she was fine, but she truly wasn't now was she? During her junior year in college, she meets the most attractive, modest and selfless girl; Applejack, who'd put her friends and family's needs over her own. She was the only one who saw through all of those smiles and her cocky behavior, she saw the real her more than anyone else did. After a little while, Rainbow and Applejack grew strong feelings for each other that meant more than friendship, but it becomes a problem for Rainbow because she dwells on her past and overthinks her fake image and one of Applejack's closest friends gaslights her. Applejack's feelings never went away and she wanted a genuine relationship with Rainbow, but Rainbow was blinded by the darkest thoughts that were never said to anyone. Despite their differences and their own personal issues, will Applejack and Rainbow Dash be able to pursue their feelings? *MLP characters mentioned in this story and book cover art DO NOT belong to me* 𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐆: 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟏𝟗𝐭𝐡, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 - ???![Decades Of Love [Complete]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/59144489-256-k665251.jpg)
Decades Of Love [Complete]
How do you tell your best friend you love them? How do you know they feel the same? How do you stop your heart getting broken in the process? Honestly, in a place, you feel comfortable with the other and just take the risk. You don't unless they are an open book of emotions. Hearts are made to be broken; if it's not by them someone else will break it somehow. This is a situation for two pairs of best friends separated by the decades... In 1950 Corinne goes on a month long trip with her family to the Madison businesses, taking an aching heart with her. Add a slightly secretive father, fainting mother, three brothers with two of them looking to take over the business and a serving girl Elsie, you get a relatively normal posh family. Corinne's childhood friend Callum carries an aching heart while she is away and misses her presence. Him, Corinne and a few others have been clueless about how they have always felt for each other, the others knowing all along. So when the others give him an opportunity, Callum tells Corinne how he feels after a card game threat and a surprise night visit from Corinne. In 2015 being in a military family is hard, which is what Dae and Dustin know first hand. The pair of them have a ridiculous amount of connections, few being known like how Dae's mother served with Dustin's father throughout deployments. Dae had always pushed Dustin away when he wanted to get closer. On the run up to Valentine's day Dustin has a grand plan in which he hopes Dae manages to see how he feels. Presents appear in her locker, her dad gets back from deployment with a companion she was certain was not breathing and then a gift bag which Smoke doesn't react to which makes her suspicious. With your mum being trained as a bomb dog handler that's natural right? Even her dad is in on the plan. Will Dustin leave with the heart he's always wanted or will he get turned away again? Find the answers to these questions in this story!Complete
The Abnormals
Elina, Onyx, James, and Jacob thought getting accepted into the CIA Secret Abnormal program was the opportunity of a lifetime. Elite training. High-tech gadgets. Missions that felt like games. But the academy isn't just about tests and sparring. It's hiding secrets. When a girl named Mia goes missing, the four friends stumble across a file that changes everything: a suspect with a trail of dead victims, each one eerily resembling Mia. Suddenly, the trainees realize they're not just students anymore - they're targets in a deadly game no one told them they'd signed up for. Between romantic sparks, jealous rivalries, and buried feelings, the team must trust each other if they want to survive long enough to uncover the truth. Because the academy's biggest lesson isn't fighting, gadgets, or weapons... It's learning who you can trust when everyone is lying.

❝𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥'𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘐'𝘥 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶?❞ . . . What would you do if you had a rival and you became attached to them but it wasn't intentional? Sometimes, accepting the fact that you have strong feelings for the wrong person can be pretty complicated. Then you also realize their doors don't swing the same way as you and it could also ruin your friendship with that person. The same thing happened to Rainbow Dash, her feelings for Applejack were stronger than ever. Applejack was already dating somebody else, but she was also conflicted by other emotions and conflicts that came with being in a relationship with someone else. Throughout the mane 7's junior year, they have made mistakes they regretted eminently and felt guilty about, made hard decisions and had to accept the truth about a lot of things even if it was hard for them. Especially Applejack and Rainbow Dash, who ended up having a separate problem with their friendship and struggled to figure out where each other's head was at. The question was, will things end up being the way they should even with all the adversities? *The Mlp characters featured in this story DO NOT belong to me.* . .
