That is, until Haley catches a glimpse of Xavier's reality and is made to question everything she knows about family and life in general. The truth, she realizes, couldn't be more different from everything she has heard. Supported by her father, Haley sets her mind on helping Xavier any way she can, and what begins with tutoring sessions, free food, and random acts of kindness blooms into friendship and something a little more.

Fifteen-year-old Charlotte 'Lottie' Carmen Rose Vassiliou is the youngest of the six Vassiliou siblings. She was the first girl born into the Vassiliou family in ten generations, and due to this, she was spoiled and coddled for the first five years of her life. But then, after 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩, when she was five, suddenly her life flips upside down and her family turns against her, sending her 1750 miles away to a school for troubled kids. Her family had sent her away, hoping the school would 'fix' her, to make her a normal functioning member of society, but in reality, the school had no interest in helping troubled kids; they used the position of power they held over the troubled students to abuse them, to break them. Charlotte had long ago changed, going from an innocent, loving little girl to a fifteen-year-old girl with severe trust and anger issues. So what happens when, ten years after 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩, she is suspended and forced to return home? Will her family ignore her? Will they treat her the way the staff at the school did? Read along as Charlotte navigates the messy reunion with her family, whom she hasn't spoken to in a decade.

Sebastian Holloway ran away when he was 15 after a terrible fight with his father. Ten years later, a family crisis forces him to finally return home. (Author is resurrecting this story, much like Seb. Although I am currently in grad school, so apologies for the weird posting schedule)

Zoe Adam was a master at pretending. At eighteen, she'd perfected the art of silence, smiling when expected, nodding at the right moments, keeping her secrets tucked away in her heart. It was safer that way. With three siblings, a chaotic dysfunctional Latin household, and parents who wore kindness like a mask, Zoe learned early that love could sting just as easily as it could soothe. Her mother could call her mi vida in one breath, then leave bruises seen and unseen in the next. Her father? He floated in and out, too wrapped in his own storms to notice the ones he left behind. None knew anything. her sisters who witnessed everything but didn't say anything, had their own shields. Not her brother, who tried to be the hero but never saw what needed saving. Zoe kept everything locked inside her feelings, her loneliness, her hunger, her ache, her need until even she forgot what it felt like to be full. Then came Hayden Reid. Nineteen, half-Italian and Puerto Rican, . He moved to London that summer, taking the flat right next door. To most, he was just the new guy with the sharp jaw, quiet hazel eyes, and that permanent don't-get-too-close look. But to Zoe, he was more than that. He was her brother's best friend. The boy who used to tease her when they were kids visiting Italy. The one who disappeared after his parents split and reappeared years later with more muscle, and a haunted look she couldn't stop staring at. Hayden had his own shadows. His past was littered with broken things promises, people, places he no longer called home. Coming back to London was supposed to be a reset, not a reunion. But fate had other plans for him. Now, he lives just a few steps from Zoe's window. Too close to ignore, too far to touch. And despite the years, the distance, and the damage they see each other in a way no one else does. Two hearts with locked doors. Two people who never meant to collide again.

"Come on, give me your bag. I'll carry it." Navika frowned. "Why? It's not even heavy." Yug smirked, slinging it over his shoulder anyway. "Because sometimes, Miss Sharma... Apka stress kam karna he, meri life ka happiest moment ban jata hai." (Because sometimes, Miss Sharma... reducing your stress becomes the happiest moment of my life.) _______________________________________________ 💗💗Update Schedule: Every week 💗💗 Best rankings: #1 in Relatable _______________________________________________ This isn't your usual mafia/CEO/forced marriage Wattpad plot. It's a slow burn. It's messy. It's full of drama. And maybe, just maybe, it'll destroy your "delulu" about Mr Perfect or Miss Elegant. Because sometimes... love isn't about perfection. It's about finding magic in the most unexpected places. Getting comfort, in the people you don't wanna even see, or maybe you do, just you don't admit it. _______________________________________________ Navika Sharma: polite until pushed, gentle until challenged, and lethal when she chooses to be.

Summer should be my new beginning. Nothing special. Just make up for the one math exam I missed, and then enjoy the rest of the holidays. No drama. No bad decisions. No distractions. Then I was assigned to a school project with Jace Bryce. Jace Bryce? The boy the whole school was talking about. The guy who was constantly causing trouble, showed up late for class and still somehow got away with it. I only knew him by sight. He was a class above me and our worlds couldn't have been more different. But suddenly I spent every day with him. Between summer school, endless afternoons in his uncle's workshop, summer evenings on empty parking spaces and conversations that should never have taken place, I began to forget why I wanted to stay away from him. The more time I spent with Jace, the harder it became to hate the boy everyone thought was a problem. Because behind his bad reputation was hiding someone who hardly anyone really knew. And maybe that was my biggest mistake. Because summer is ending. And some people leave traces that even autumn cannot make disappear. One summer. Ninety days. And a boy who changed everything. ---- Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0qTjdJ1QnBk92ip5oWOi4A?si=WBtqW2JGQrym_j8RyYhTxQ&pi=9iPCqN9VQhWDi ---- Trigger warning: alcohol dependence, domestic quarrels, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, loss, pressure to perform

No one notices when memories disappear. Not at first. A missing conversation. A forgotten birthday. A face that feels strangely familiar. Then entire lives begin slipping through the cracks. Vespera Vale has spent years pretending the voices in her head are only memories. Now they're speaking back. Someone is writing over the city. Someone remembers the version of her that no longer exists. And someone has been waiting for her to remember first. Some stories are written in ink. Others... are written in blood.

Every word the Wicked Witch of the West, aka Zelena Mills, utters is laced with sass and a sharpness that strikes fear in the heart of many. Most of her 'wickedness' (and green skin) is fueled by years of rejection and a deep obsession to get everything her younger half sister has. However, during an Imperial Birthday Celebration a mysterious young lady catches her eye who goes by the name G Marie. The two have an eventful, and somewhat awkward, first meeting sparking an unexpected bond between them. When Zelena learns that this G Marie is a witch just like her, she decides to make the most of a new, unexpected proximity to her new person of interest and offers to become her mentor in magic! Taking knowledge from her experience in magic and spells, Zelena helps G Marie dig deep inside herself to spark the undeniable magical potential in her, all while working towards her one envy driven goal Disclaimer: The only characters that are 100% mine are G Marie, and Marigold. All other characters either are based off characters or are existing characters from The Villainess is the Heroine's Biggest Fan or Once Upon a Time Extra info for anyone who's confused: This is a The Villainess is the Heroine's Biggest Fan Fanfic taking place before the events of the first season of Once Upon a Time. Also in this AU I gave Zelena an awkward conformist twin brother, Zelimir, and I gave Zelena a maid, Marigold, who is my Once Upon a Time In Wonderland OC. So I have three OCs in this fanfic crossover. Not really a villainess isekai but it is supposed to be a fanfiction crossover of my favorite book which is a villainess isekai.

You are a woman. All that education will end in your husband's kitchen and his bed." That was what my mother always said.
