Background info:

*This story begins in New York in 2002 in the middle of Fiona, a minor character, breaking up with Julian. The break-up is a catalyst for the writing of the song "Automatic Stop." Julian becomes depressed for a short amount of time, but he soon gets a "different view" when he meets Ellie...

❣ Fun Fact: The Strokes' T in the Park 2004 "Automatic Stop" performance inspired me to write this story. 

✏️Author's Note: This is my first fan fiction! tried my best to write this piece with accuracy by reading obscure Strokes articles, watching several interviews, listening to their music, and subsequently incorporating various aspects into the creation of this story. Of course, I left the rest to my imagination... Thanks to anyone who took the time to read what I have written so far! Comments are always appreciated! (:All Rights Reserved

Love Notes by oliviabrunch

** Jamie lowered himself so that his face met mine. "Are you stupid?" he spat, cocking his head to the side. "Jamie!" I cried between gasps. "You're hurting me." Pulling my head forward a few inches, he then slammed it back against the wall. My ears began to make a sharp ringing sound, forcing me to close my eyes just to try and silence the pain. ** Isobel Tully accepts her abusive relationship as something that's meant to be, a karmic consequence of her past. She believes wholeheartedly that she deserves nothing better than her life with Jamie... But then she meets local musician Will. Kind, funny, insanely attractive Will... and he just so happens to find out her secret. As her existence at home becomes more and more unbearable, Isobel must decide if she's willing to risk her life for the opportunity to have the one she's always wanted, but will she get tangled up in a web of lies before she gets the chance? Content Warning: There are some very descriptive scenes of physical, emotional and sexual abuse/ violence. There are also descriptions of rape which could be upsetting.

"You...we...I... have children, you didn't tell me?" is the only thing I can rasp out with tears threatening to escape my eyes.

VALERIE by xxmils

He speaks as if he knows everything, he trips over his own tongue like the intelligent person he is. The lingering taste of vodka and whiskey taint his sinful chapped lips. When he walks he stumbles, he smells like nicotine and he's cold. Ice resides in his veins and heart but not even the hell like flames of hatred and anger burning within his mind can freeze over. She's sweet like honeysuckle. She's warm and physically beautiful with her long brown hair and different colored gaze. When she smiles, the entire world stops to look and stare at her. Yet underlying her forced smile and physical perfection, dwells the monster that is her mental illness that she cannot control. Being beautiful doesn't hide it either, only mass doses of prescription pills do. In which an 18-year-old who believes he hasn't much to live for leaves his small sleepy town in hopes of finding his mother who abandoned him years ago. All the while a 17-year-old girl with severe Manic Depression tags along in hopes of being distracted from her illness and to also find peace of mind and happiness elsewhere. ** Inspired by music, specifically The 1975, Lana Del Rey, and others. ** Rough draft in desperate need of editing, plot holes, grammatical issues, etc. * not cliche but cliche it has it moments, but also so many plot twists so idk yeah.

The Wolven King {18+} (Sample) by chelseaxxm123

[COMPLETED] As I was beginning to relax, a new terror coursed through my body at his next word, "Strip." "Ex-excuse me?" I blurted out. I wasn't getting undressed in front of him, I barely knew him. He must have been trying to gain something from me and I doubted my fear and embarrassment was what he wanted. Adrenous didn't say anything as he drew his hands up my back and halted at the laces of my dress. I felt him tug at one of the nots and I instantly pulled away and turned to face him, no longer caring that his manhood was out for all to see. Just like that part of him, he too was a dick. "I'm not getting undressed in front of you!" I yelled at him. "Your mine, Alivia," My name passed his lips easily and hearing him say it did things to me which I didn't want to admit. Instead I glared at him, he said I was his as if I was some kind of possession that he could do with as he pleased. He added, "Let me take care of you." I didn't know what he meant by that, all I knew was that I had no intention of doing as he had asked. ✨🌕✨ BOOK ONE OF THE KING SERIES ⚠️ WARNING: this book is mature and should only be read if you are 18+.

My Soulmate- A Fireman Sam Elvis x Penny Story by UltimateElvnyFan

This is my first fanfic, so it may or may not be bad. All I have to say is that it's going to be about Penny x Elvis, because their aren't many fanfictions about them out there, so I wanted to grow that part of the fandom, because I ship this ship SOOOOOOOOOO hard! btw the characters are going to be similar to their original personalities, so sam is going to be inventive, elvis is going to be the clumsy and shy sidekick, and steele is the stern one. They are also going to look how they originally looked, so sam will have a quiff and elvis shall have his long nose again and be tall!!! So this is what it's about: Five firefighters. All friends. Sam, the brave hero next door, Elvis the clumsy and forgetful sidekick, Penny, the fearless one, Ellie, the action girl, and Arnold, the nerd. Station Officer Steele is in charge, always with a stern glance. But there's something happening underneath all of this. With Sam, Arnold, and Joe inventing a mysterious and possibly dangerous invention, Norman Price about to turn ten years old, Steele and Boyce's rivalry growing, dark secrets are revealed. Elvis has always felt something for Penny. Whenever he sees her his heartrate increases. However, for the past 8 years he's kept this feeling hidden deep within his soul, thinking that she probably likes Sam or Ben or someone. However, the girl of his dreams may have also fallen for the clumsy firefighter... As Norman and Derek begin to claim finding a 'treasure,' Trevor Evans ends up in the hospital, Elvis begins to have strange dreams about keeping his feelings hidden. Perhaps, it's best to live life while you're young... (set about series 10-11) (Also there may be some Ellie x Arnold in there, but i'm probably going to make a separate fanfic about that)
