How to Lose your Best Friend by logiedacat

A cliche plot that got disturbed when the supporting characters became far more important to the plot than the main ones. I've never had anyone tell me that I could do anything more in life than exist. The sound of someone believing in you shouldn't be something new to your ears. It should be something you hear on a regular basis that keeps you going throughout the day. It's hard to believe that I could ever accomplish anything after failure seemed to be imprinted on my forehead.-PJ Eagle sees me as someone who's there for her when she needs advice about a boy. She doesn't see me as the boy she needs advice about. I've watched her go through everything. Her first boyfriend, her first breakup, her first kiss, her first high school party, and everything in between. I didn't mind watching her go through everything but I wanted to be something to her. I wanted to be more than her best friend. If I'm being honest I wanted to date her but I knew it'd never happen. -Blair WARNING: This book mentions triggering topics such as assault, abuse, depression, and other similar topics. If you are sensitive to the mention of these topics this story may not be for you.

Finding the Pure Note by EffervescentElixir

Always light the candles by dddfakeddd

We are too drunk and he is too close and even though we are in a room full of people, we are too alone. -------------------------- Notes: This fan fiction is dedicated to people who have experienced loss, people who were bullied, who struggled with their sexuality and or their race. People who use humour as their coping mechanism. People who feel like outcasts and freaks. People who fell in love with their best friends. You are not alone. You are Albus. And this is our story. It is also dedicated to grief, for showing me the true price for love. And most importantly dedicated to my one and only best friend. This story would not have seen the light of day, had our paths not diverged and our friendship not quietly scattered to the winds. In the closing of chapters, I made sure that the echo of our promises that we once held were not just words, but something truly heard. I will never not think of you during storms. Make sure to leave your thoughts and enjoy ;) This story can be also found on Ao3.
