Encanto: The Future Sees the Past/ 𝓝𝓸𝔀 𝓒𝓸𝓶𝓹𝓵𝓮𝓽𝓮!
I decided to write this story since I kept watching the movie, Encanto over and over again. This story happens 2 months after the film. The magic is restored, the miracle is back, Bruno is still with the family and he is no longer villainized by the community. All the Madrigals have their gifts back, well except Mirabel. Now the Madrigals are even more busy with all the people they need to serve. But Mirabel is still reminded that she is the only Madrigal without a gift. This deeply hurts her, but her family doesn't notice since they are all to busy. Soon , some of the family members forget what happened between her and them and they begin to treat her like they did before the film, like she was a baby. They have even forgotten everything she has done for them, the only thing they do recall is her bring the magic back. But they don't give her enough credit. The only one who notices the pain Mirabel is in is Casita. Casita is saddened and angry that everyone in the family is ignoring Mirabel, so Casita uses a special magic from the miracle to show the entire family the movie, along with a heartbreaking secret from Mirabel's past. The Madrigal's Casita will give them a proper perspective. I hope... I don't own any of the characters or songs in the story, I only own the idea of the story. The film, the characters and the songs all rightfully belong to Walt Disney. A/N: The first chapter will be told in Mirabel's point of view, the rest will al be in 3rd person point of view.Complete

For a Mobster ✔️
What they feel for each other is war. ✦ ✦ ✦ Alessandra "Sessie" Benedetti was never meant to want things, and never allowed to refuse them. As one of the consigliere's docile daughters, her entire future had been stamped since she could tie her own shoelace. Marry Tiziano, the Don's volatile son. Smile at everything. Obey every rule. Die quietly inside. So when she dares to want something for herself, just once, her father makes sure she never forgets the price of defiance. Broken and bleeding from her furnished cage, Alessandra makes a break for it, only to discover life outside the cage is just as deadly. In Chicago, her last name makes her more disposable than desirable. Enter Renzo Santoro. Her family's most dangerous enemy. The last man she should ever be within ten feet of, much less want. She saves his life on instinct, with an identity that doesn't exist. Before she can regret either of those decisions, Renzo is already orbiting her little world. And the girl raised to fear men like him? She's starting to think fear and desire might feel exactly the same. When Renzo finds out who she really is, there is no corner of this earth cold enough to contain what she unlocks in him--the fury that wants a bullet in her, and the fixation that wants her regardless. Now the only thing more dangerous than loving a man like Renzo... is what he'll do to keep her from the men who got to break her before he even knew her. And that... that's when the real war begins. ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✦ ✦ ✦ :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✦ ✦ ✦ :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧ Ranked #2 in Mafialove Ranked #6 in loveandloyalty Ranked #3 in raging Ranked #1 in mobster Ranked #3 in loveindanger Ranked #11 in badboylovComplete
Beneath the Mask
Isla Monroe was never one to let her guard down. A woman of control, of power, of calculated moves. She built an empire on her ability to stay distant, detached from the world, locked in her own fortress of wealth and success. But behind that cold exterior, there was something darker, something buried deep within her-a hunger she never let anyone see. Vito Vance had no such barriers. He was a man who thrived on chaos, who reveled in the masks he wore for the world to see. A notorious pornstar by day, a reckless, manipulative force by night, he had the kind of power that made people crave him while simultaneously fearing him. But Vito didn't just play with fire-he lived in it. Their paths crossed in the most unlikely of places-a strip club in the dead of night, where identities didn't matter, where people came to forget themselves. For Isla, it was supposed to be a brief escape, a fleeting moment of distraction. For Vito, it was just another night in a world he owned. But the night they met was the beginning of something neither of them could have predicted. A night that would unravel their carefully constructed lives, expose the vulnerability neither of them was willing to admit, and ignite a passion neither was prepared for. Their story would be one of tension, of smoldering attraction, of games played in the shadows. And for the first time in her life, Isla Monroe would find herself in a position where she had no control, no walls to hide behind. And neither would Vito. --- This book is inspired by the song "Pornstar" by Nessa Barrett and a BL manhwa called "BJ Alex." pc; pinterest
