Each year, a different student hosts TCHP in order to make each one different and as memorable as the last. TCHP is known for it's 'magical powers' in granting someone's holiday wish. I never believed the rumor, I had always thought that it was a lie to get people to sign up to host it. Until I hosted it, that is. My holiday wish? To find a place where I truly belong. ~~~~ "I stopped taking pictures to leave the person I once was in the past." He wrapped an arm around my waist, spinning me to face him. "But one day, when your memory starts to fade, all you'll have are photos. To remind you of who you were, who you are." The sadness in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by something else. "To remind you of where you came from, who you came from. To remind you that you lived." I was stunned silent by his words, left reeling from the thoughts. I was conflicted. On one hand, I was moved by his words. On the other hand, I'd be losing who I thought I was. "I..." I couldn't find anything to say. There was nothing I could do or say that would help me in this situation, so I just stood there with my brows furrowed. "Goodnight, Elaine. Think about it, yeah?" Then he was gone, leaving me standing there with only a camera in my hands.Complete

It is recommended that you read my books Smoke & Stars and Darkness & Devotion for an idea of the character's parents and their backstories, though it is not required. This story does NOT take place at Hogwarts! . . . "There isn't a single word on this Earth that can describe how radiant you are. I am certain that a vision of you inspired the heavens, that one glimpse of you would make God realize why he created man. You are a divine angel and I am but a humble man begging on his knees for a taste of you."Complete
Icarus
Summary: This story is about an incredible unique autistic girl and her two equally incredible best friends. Will they ever get out of the friend zone? A little taste of the story: Is it a sin to love someone too much? To say I miss her is an understatement. I can't eat. Can't sleep. Can't function. She is constantly on my mind as she dwelled herself deep inside my heart. My heart aches for her. Every time I think of her, I smile but my heart hurts like hell because she lives far away. Too far. Sometimes all I can do is lie in bed and hope to fall asleep before I fall apart. Is it wrong to love someone this deeply at such an early age? I have inappropriate thoughts about her...about us. Not, as we are presently but grown up as adults. I'm jealous of my twin brother because he wants to take her from me. I can't let go of what's making me sad because its also the only thing that makes me happy. Her. I cannot lose her, because if I do, I will lose my best friend, my smile, my heart, my soul mate, my everything. If it is a sin, I don't think I want to be forgiven because I truly believe that God has sent her into my life to give me something to fight for, to show me there is love in this world, to give me hope and to bring me joy. All the proof I need in God is in her. She is a gift from heaven." ⚠️WARNING ⚠️ * language *drugs & alcohol * violence *assault & rape *nudity & sexComplete
