A fear of flying is one thing. Being seated next to a Tetris-addict who claims to be the Reaper is quite another.
  
  "He pulled out a business card. Where his profession should have been stated, the card read 'Destroyer of Worlds'.
  
  Nodding slowly, I pocketed the card."

*Editor's Picks January 2021 and Watty's Shortlist 2021* "And one more thing," I added. "We have a safeword." His eyebrows raised and I hit his shoulder gently. "Not that kind of safeword, you pervert!" I let out a deep breath. "Like, a word we can say when we're done," I explained. "We say it and there's no questions asked. We pretend to break up and walk away. Pretend this all never happened." *** Rory Kane had perfectly planned out her senior year. Great grades? Check. First high school party attended? Check. Getting asking out by her best friend's crush? Not exactly on her list. When Rory runs away from the high school quarterback, Will Porter's, attempts to ask her out, her idea of a quiet and tame year before going to university topples to the ground. Rory is known as the always-bubbly girl with a well of secrets behind her pretty face, but no one could ever imagine the lengths she would go to keep those secrets - AKA make a deal with the school's notorious man-whore and Will's best friend, Carter Grey, to fake date in order to get Will off of her back. As a romantic who's sworn off love, the idea seems simple enough to Rory. Hold hands, maybe a few public dates, and then a dramatic, messy breakup that gets her as far away from Carter Grey as possible and back into her comfort zone. Rory's used to telling what she calls "innocent little lies". So, really, what could possibly go wrong? STARTED APRIL 28TH, 2020 - FINISHED SEPTEMBER 29TH, 2020 Cover by @diwatera

*CURRENTLY EDITING! This version may or may not contain harmful stereotypes and I had been meaning to revise them and change them so better messages are communicated. Also, chapter numbers may be repeated due to newer chapters that I added after originally finishing the story. Thank u!* Owen Watson isn't what others consider a people's person. Introverted and bookish as he is, Owen is known to be grouchy and easily annoyed, especially with people who treat him as someone who is only defined by their disability. He was in a wheelchair, but he was fine anyway. Being in one means standing out, and one of the things Owen hates the most is attention. He just wants to sit back in the shadows with a good book. Everything changed when Athena Calimeris stumbled into his life and made things more complicated. Athena is your typical, bubbly, girl next door. Child at heart, people wouldn't think twice to know that she's a former child prodigy. Though her recent past tells a different story, she is as fragile as any other person can be despite her playful, sunny personality. Due to a not-so typical meeting, Owen and Athena aren't exactly instant partners in crime. With a little sprinkle of blossoming friendship and a tiny pinch of eye rolling, falling for the other might seem impossible, but not entirely.
