Alaska Smith,
Ravishing, charismatic, independent.
Alaska isn't a sweetheart, she never has been.
She's never been the class pet, or the teacher's favorite.
She's never been a straight A student.
She's never been one to back down, or to keep her opinions to herself.
Everyone still seems to like her.
She's funny, sometimes kind, she's mysterious.
She's friends with everyone,
But that does not necessarily mean she likes them, either
Alaska is in a relationship with someone she believes is "The One",
but due to her painful past, she will always wonder
when he will change his mind.
Deep, deep down, Alaska is scared of love,
or maybe she's just scared of the pain that comes along with it.
But when "The One" is gone for 3 years,
how will she handle one of her closest friends
being so desperately in love with her?

Loki And Sylvie One shots
Ok, confession time. I have never, ever, in all the years I've written, actually wrote humans. Much less humans kissing and romance and what not. I've always, written dragons. But, this is about to change. For this is a Loki and Sylvie one shots book! Also know as one shots for Marvel's cutest couple! (One shots are kinda from all over the place, so I suggest watching the entire show before reading these.) Some will be just scenes from the show with just their thoughts while others will be in the future or whatever, we'll see once season 2 of Loki comes out! This ship is too adorable and what can I say? I got inspired. If you have an idea for a chapter, comment it! I'd be more than happy for a suggestion!Complete
Cold and Charisma (BoyxBoy)
Riley Lachkov's life has only ever revolved around one thing-soccer. Raised in a family where emotions don't really exist, he's kept a cold front for as long as he can remember. Most people think they know him: a cocky, arrogant, rude jerk who couldn't care less about what anyone thinks. But there's a part of him no one's ever seen-and he intends to keep it that way. Archer Wilson has everything going for him. Top of his classes, most popular boy in school, and Saint Arthur's golden boy. He's charismatic, effortlessly kind, and has a way of making anyone fall for him without trying. When Riley's family immigrates from Russia to the States, he struggles to adjust, forced to start over in a place that feels nothing like home. His closed-off attitude and tendency to act like a total douchebag don't help either-they just push people further away. But Archer doesn't back off. If anything, he's more intrigued by the new transfer student, determined to break down every wall Riley has spent his life building. He can't help but praise him for everything he does, and quickly realizes he's smitten the moment he meets him. What happens when Archer, Saint Arthur's golden boy, starts falling for the new transfer student who seems to hate everyone? Will Riley finally let him in-or keep pushing him away like he always has? #1 in #gay (12.19.2025) tropes: #grumpyxsunshine, #polaropposites, #slowburn, #temporaryunrequitedlove #popularnerdxlonelyathlete #chasingarc #groveling #redemptionarc All Rights Reserved to Asphericity

Those Perfect Flaws || ✓ || PUBLISHED
#1 in Teen Fiction Blaze Ryder is everything Alaska feared. He is eyes and embraces and fallings stars, chocolate and marshmallows, the fizz on soda on the tongue. He is wind and hands and lips on your hair; he is a hundred kisses to hide the bruises, the flowers of summer blooming together. Ink and paper, the smell of old books and cornered nooks. The teens standing together, so close that their shadows merge into one, and the blood dripping from her hands to the concrete floor. It's a chaotic love story, really. * * * "And you know, some people are good at love, and some of them are good at being in love. They are two different things. Being in love is the romantic part, sex all the time, midday naps in the sheets, the jokes, the laughs, the long conversations with no pauses, overwhelming thoughts, separation, and anxiety - just the best sides of two people. But love? Love begins when the excitement starts to fade away; the stress in life sets in, the sex becomes a chore; the tears, the sadness, the arguments come into the picture. The worst sides of these two people are shown. But you know, after all that, I would still want you in my life, and I know you would want me too. So I love you, and I'm not afraid of loving you," Alaska says into the phone, pouring her heart out.Complete![Hello Mr. Player [UNEDITED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/19941-256-k217014.jpg)

Happy Hour (A Romantic Comedy)
~~~~~ One thing that most definitely hasn't changed is the power of those bright hazel eyes to reduce me to a puddle of mush. And I can't help but think of the last time I was looking into them, right after he kissed me and walked away 15 years ago. Suddenly, all I can think about is how much I want him to kiss me again, and this makes me absolutely furious with myself. ~~~~~~ Em spent her last two years of high school fantasising about Chris. He seemed to hate her, though... except for that one time he kissed her out of nowhere and then disappeared out of her life. 15 years later, Chris is back. And it turns out that, even now they're both in their thirties, she still hasn't quite recovered from her teenage crush. Thrown together unexpectedly, she's either going to have to get over him... or *under* him. But does he feel the same???Complete
