----
I wrote this a long time ago and I would appreciate it if you didn't judge my writing from back then. A few of the newest chapters aren't too bad, but again, I wrote this when I was thirteen. (I didn't even realize Jane and Zayn rhymed until a year later I hate myself)
Previously "Living On The Edge"
What happens when an artist lover and an art thief meet?
When Jane meets Zayn she doesn't expect her partner to fish up the plan of having Zayn fall for her and her having a perfect 'in' to steal from him. But when he does, she definitely doesn't expect the strings attached.

This book was originally based on the tv show "White Collar", but I grew out of the plot and is more branched out and is very much an original piece.

Risky Business | Zayn Malik | AU
[COMPLETED] ❝To know what life is worth, you have to risk it once in a while.❞ Alexandra Holt and Zayn Malik are from different worlds. Alexandra has grown up with the type of life some can only dream of--a mansion of a house, a plethora of people to serve her every need, and a father of such financial status and pure power that she's been handed everything in life. Zayn, on the other hand has had a starkly divergent type of lifestyle. He knows the modesty of a bungalow, he's familiar with overdue bills, and has had to work tooth and nail to own the items he's needed--extravagant or not. He's worked his way up from being a nobody to being one of the most wanted and well-paid transporters (or drivers) at a very young age some have ever seen. So, it's safe to say that when Victor--Alexandra's father--decides to send her away again for her own safety from the dangers of his business activities, Zayn and her don't exactly see eye to eye. Alexandra's spoiled and Zayn's rough around the edges, which makes it rather interesting for the two of them out on the road. With boyfriends to cry over, constant fights to pick over the littlest of differences, rather scarce money (or at least in Alexandra's eyes), hidden secrets, and the everlasting threat of danger lurking around every corner, the both of them only have one another to lean on. Which means that they both have that much more to lose. In Risky Business, surprises are the inevitable and every little decision made can be life-changing. ✵ In which he only protects her because of the money, until love sneaks in past his guarded heart WARNING: This story may have scenes of violence, mature content, sexual content, drug use or references and foul language, so please read at your own discretion Started: January 20, 2016 Completed: August 30, 2018Complete
Legendary // H.S
'You are going to help me acquire something very valuable,' he spoke close to my ear, his breath fanning down my neck. I looked up at the paintings in front of us, all worth millions of pounds, and then at the spot on the wall where one was missing. The knowledge of what had happened to it was giving me the adrenaline I needed to allow myself to be so close to his presence. 'Why are you trusting me with this?' I asked, turning my head slightly to face him. His green eyes met mine, a small smile turning at the corners of his lips. The room was silent as tourists filtered through the gallery, each one taking their time to focus on the artwork before them. This was a crazy proposition. I'd never been the type to run towards crazy. 'Well, you haven't told anyone yet have you? And I suspect you're seeking a little adventure.' * Atlas Hall has played it safe her whole life. Harry Styles lives for the thrill of it all. When she's recruited by the mysterious stranger, adventure awaits.Complete

Echoes of Us
"You're always the one who gets away," Liam whispered, his voice teasing as he reached out to pull a strand of hair behind my ear. "I'm not going anywhere," I said, a little breathless. "You're the one who's always disappearing-off to practice or a gig or whatever." His smile softened, and for a moment, the world felt smaller, like it was just the two of us sitting on that old bench behind the school, the sound of distant laughter filling the air. "Maybe," he said, leaning in just a little closer, "but one day, I'm coming back for you." +++ What started out as innocent puppy love in the basement of St. Peter's Collegiate School's choir room turned out to be so much more for Liam and Leona.

Old sparks reignite, but can a love that started in the past survive the pressures of fame and time? (NOT a corny but oh so loveable 2013 fanfic, written in 2024/25 <3)Complete
