Grieving Stories

Jesse Sharpe is just a normal barista working at a hole-in-the-wall coffeeshop, at least that's what it looks like on the outside. Her supernatural speed sets her apart, though no one would know that because, three years ago, she didn't exist in this world. Three years ago, she broke through the dimensional barrier between her universe and this one, and decided to stick around when she discovered the most delightful invention in the multiverse; coffee. Luckily, there's one other person in the city who shares her immense love of caffeine. Tony Stark. With his offer, becoming the Avengers' Barista is easier than expect, but that made keeping her inherited speed from them practically impossible. Especially while practically living under their roof and with a certain green eyed god of mischief right next door. A/N: though set in the same universe as my other work, The Archangel, it is not necessary to read The Archangel to understand the events of this book (but Easter eggs for those that do) P.S. I'm trying to make my version of a speedster as accurate as can be expected with a reasonable amount of math and googling and I'm using my own CW inspired multiverse lore

Iona White arrived in Ireland with nothing but a suitcase, a broken heart, and a silence she wore like armour. She didn't speak much - not about what happened in Glasgow, not about the scars that didn't show, and definitely not about the nightmares that still woke her up crying. To most people, she was the quiet cousin. The strange girl with too much grief in her eyes and a temper that cracked through when pushed. But to him - Cian Hughes's, number 5 on the school rugby team, childhood friend - she was the girl with the wild green eyes, the thick Scottish slang he couldn't always understand, and a sadness he couldn't seem to look away from. This isn't a love story born of soft beginnings. It's messy and bruised and healing. A story of found family, shattered pieces, and a boy who held her together without asking for her to be whole first. Sometimes, the strongest love stories are the ones you fight your way into.

After JJ's death, the world kept moving - but I didn't. John B, Kiara, Pope, Sarah, Cleo and I returned to the Charleston, "Outer Banks, Paradise on the Earth" the sign appeared, but it didn't feel like it anymore. The Pogues started to move on - but I stayed behind, trapped in memories that I didn't want them to fade. Every corner around me was a reminder of him: his stupid laughter in the wind, his shadow along the shore and his midnight ocean eyes under the stars. I talked alone at night, whispering apologies to the ocean, begging this to be just a bad dream. Until one night, everything changed. At first, it was subtle - my bedroom door creaked open on its own, his laughter filled up the entire house, and the smell of salt and smoke filled the air... At first, I convinced myself that was just grief. Until I realized, something was really off. JJ wasn't haunting this island. He was haunting me. The more I love him, the more impossible it becomes for either of us to let go. Because if I release him, I will lose him forever. Everyone tells me to let go, but they will never understand. Never. (Author note: This fanfic, "Moving On" is not just a ghost story or a continuation of Outer Banks, season 4. At its heart, it is about grief, love, and the danger of holding on too tightly to someone who is gone.)

When Lana turns 28-the age her father never reached-she's pulled into a vivid dream where she meets him in the afterlife.

Forever 27 is a tender, magical story about grief, connection, and the quiet ways our loved ones stay close.

This story is about the grieving and healing after a couples friend gets killed in a bank robbery. It's absolutely not about solving the crime cuz I'm not a fan of that and it's not realistic lol. Much like a comin-of-age series this story will have maaaaanyyy shorter and longer chapters and not show a new problem everytime but focus on the longer process. The main character are Maya and Tim who are in a long distance relationship and are both friends with Jeff who was killed in a bank robbery. If something doesn't make sense pleaaaase comment (I've rewritten this thing way to often) have fun/hope this makes you cry 💕

Some heartbreaks don't shatter you, they unravel you thread by thread, until you're forced to rebuild the parts of yourself you once gave away. "The Version of You I Never Met" is a "Tribrid" book, part memoir, part emotional guide, part psychological blueprint for anyone who has loved someone who couldn't love them back the way they deserved. Blending raw storytelling with attachment psychology, this book explores the very anatomy loving an avoidant partner, carrying emotional weight for two, surviving emotional absence and walking away from a bond you wanted to кеер. Through a story blood-stained with devotion, confusion, imbalance, heartbreak and clarity the author dissects the hidden patterns behind avoidance, the cost of loving someone who hasn't healed, and the quiet, almost celestial strength it takes to choose yourself when choosing them costs too much. Its not a story about blame it's a story about limits, healing, and the power of understanding the truth even when it hurts. If you've ever begged for clarity or felt invisible in the arms of someone you loved, this book will feel like finally being seen. If you're learning to trust again, it will remind you that healing is possible, and that some endings are actually beginnings in disguise. For the heartbroken, the healing, the emotionally attuned, and the lovers who have always loved too much. This book is your mirror, your medicine, and your metamorphosis. It will break you, then rebuild you. It will explain him, then return you to yourself. It will hurt - then then it will heal. "He loved you, just not in the way you needed. You loved him, just not in the way he could hold."

She had a friend named Sakura, the only person who ever understood the fragile bloom beneath her thorns. However, she loses her in an accident...
