One man is her family's dream. The other could be her undoing. Suraiya Rao has never quite belonged. She's not white enough for society, not brown enough for her family... not enough for anyone. She's spent her life walking a tightrope between British reality and Indian expectation, doing everything by the book, no matter the cost. Then one chance encounter changes everything. Haydn Ellis Clarke isn't part of the plan. He's rich, ridiculously handsome, and absolutely not the man her family has chosen for her. But he sees her - not the dutiful daughter or the girl buried beneath generations of pressure, but the version of herself she's never dared to be. Mendhi My Heart is a story of identity, belonging, and choosing love, even when it means breaking every rule. Because love doesn't always arrive in the "suitable" package. Sometimes, it wears torn jeans... and gives your grandmother a heart attack.

Upon the machine's activation, Tammy gradually begins to realize that in the act of constructing Mariimo, she's been unknowingly deconstructing herself.

Just some oneshots i make about my ocs. I'll state the universe on the title of each chapter. I'll probably do a portuguese version of this for the oneshots in portuguese. And not update this as much as the Kiss prompts one

***A sequel to Fright Fest 2016 Gold Winner RED RAIN*** "May we meet again." -traditional Skaikru goodbye, The 100 "I haven't told you everything." -Sophia, The Event Red Rain was just the beginning. Alex Snow thought he'd gotten over the death of his first love, Fionna Lee. Gideon Cabrera thought he would never see his abusive mother again after leaving her behind on Earth. Both of them thought wrong. And meanwhile, agents of a totally different entity from the Red Rain team also have their sights set on Alex and his twin brother Gabe, believing them to be the key to saving the afterlife from a malevolent villain who seeks to destroy the Prime Universe. (Second in the Red Rain series. Cover designed by @Whisperingwater.) Reader Reviews: "I can't get enough! I can't even predict what is going to happen next. (WARNING: do not under any circumstances read the end of this while in a room full of people.)" @kirrencee "The thing that I love about these books that they're not a cliche. Oh and Alex's taste in music is really great!" @DarcyStayne "These should be legit novels...it's basically perfection wrapped up in an angelic (and demonic?) box." @Fever09

***A sequel to Fright Fest 2016 Gold Winner RED RAIN*** "Surprise! This is a different kind of superhero story!" -Deadpool Red Rain was just the beginning. Blue Monday made everything worse. Luca Scagliotti used to be on the sidelines as far as the increasingly weird - and lethal - goings-on in the life of his best friend were concerned. Alex Snow no longer wanted to be involved, especially after losing the two people he loved the most in the space of only a few months. Destiny had other plans. The war against Preston Holly and his armies of light scrivs will be fought on two fronts - one for each of the two universes, Prime and Second. As they get dragged into this fight to save the mortal souls of both 'verses, Luca and Alex will reunite with loved ones, race to prevent acts of terror, and confront the mysteries of life, death, and the afterlife which have spent so long boggling their minds. (Third in the Red Rain series. Cover designed by @Whisperingwater.) Reader Reviews: "I think my mind may have just been blown." @WhenWeBleed

on Lovealot.net - a blog/social space for honest convos about love, identity, and everything in between. Raven's voice is thoughtful, proud, and a little spicy, especially when she's talking about her sisters and the people who don't get it.

Film school drop-out, Mei Langdon, has never thought that her life would go this way. Working for the world's most in-demand actor and fetching cups of coffee for him on her way to work is definitely not her idea of a dream job. Add in the appearance of a cute barista with a mysterious past and her life is all set to be the newest romantic comedy blockbuster. But will she get the highly coveted happy ending? Or will it all end with a good old fashioned broken heart?

I'M GOING TO START EDITING THIS PROBABLY. If you go to Our Lady of the Black Veil Academy, chances are you know the names Cass Landry, Rebecca Lovelace, and Mallory Meksawan. Cass Landry being the mysterious new girl with a tendency to practice magic illegally, Rebecca being notorious for lighting up every room she walks into, and Mallory being the second in command it-girl of Black Veil, as famed as she is feared. After a magical attempt to escape detention goes terribly, horribly wrong and their ethics teacher winds up dead (ironic, they know), Cass must band together with Rebecca, the girl she "totally doesn't like", and Mallory, another girl she doesn't like (but like...for real this time) to find a spell that can bring their teacher back to life before her situation becomes permanent. A spell of this caliber, however, requires that they venture into the underground world of their picturesque town, striking a deal with a powerful gang leader that not only raises the stakes, but gives them an even tighter timeline. And though as a witch Cass has personal experience with life and death, the pressure that she's facing now might just be too tough to handle. Luckily, she's not alone. And with the three baddest witches of Black Veil, who knows what could happen. (So yeah I failed but I'm keeping ONC in the title okay let me have this)

A story of what occurs after the ending. A planet, nearly stripped of life, left to fester, or prosper, equally. A child, thrown out at 16, whisked away from home, from earth, to learn magic. A set of twins, who've survived despite all the odds. Join Onyekachi, a trans-woman, as she embarks on new journey, forms a new family, and discovers secrets about the planet she's called home for the past nine years.

Short writings/oneshots about In Your Graces, a story about pressure of family duties, death, vampire hunting and being expected to kill someone you love. (sinopsis is a work in progress) The contents are a bit more heavy so every chapter with heavy topics will have a CW on the start

Do pictures enhance experience? I have no idea. Here are experiences which have shaped my relationship with cameras. Part 2: Siena

How far would you look?

'Death never stops surprising you.' A sentiment Aria knows all too well. Her world on its surface is perfect. A completely enclosed ecosystem protected from the nuclear winter of the Outside World. No sickness, no famine, nothing to worry about. Nothing that is except for Spectre, the computer system that determines who lives and dies annually based on their importance to society. Somehow everyone around her seems to cope, but seeing as how Spectre has taken every member of her family, Aria struggles to fall in line with the status quo. Whether it's pressure from the powers that be, her first potential love, or full on revolution, Aria seems to be pulled in every direction, each one with drastic consequences, and no clue which way to go.
