Previously known as The Accident --------- She is beautiful. So fucking beautiful. She is a star and I would become an astronomer for her and I would study for the rest of my life and I would bleed, sweat and cry day and night just so I can understand her beauty. I would want the other stars to be jealous of her since no matter how big and bright they shine, she will always be the brightest one illuminating the night sky. She's better than everyone. I constantly think about how she can do so much better and how she deserves to be with someone who will notice everything amazing about her and not just use her. She needs to be with someone who will notice how she laughs. How confident she is. How she talks. The way her smile is different from the rest and the way her eyes glow when you talk about the stars. They should notice how her hair flows and how she can talk all day. She needs to be with me. --------- Contains: Fake-dating College romance --------- Started: 12 October 2021 Ended: 16 January 2023 Editing completion: 12 July 2024 --------- #1 firststory #1 hotel #1 pretty #2 cutegirl #2 teenagers #3 loss

This is my second Manan story... jump in to the bumpy ride to see if love actually happens or not...

🏆 Round 1 Winner - OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST 🏆 She falls. One moment, she's weightless, bathed in light, belonging to the sky itself. The next, she is plummeting, her wings failing, the world rushing up to meet her. And when she lands, it is not on stone or earth, but in the arms of a boy with kind eyes and a heartbeat steady enough to tether her to the world. Silas never believed in miracles. He never expected one to fall straight into his arms. But when Elya crashes into his life-lost, otherworldly, and achingly human in the way she looks at the world-he knows he can't let her go. As the days slip into weeks, Silas teaches her how to live as a human. Elya teaches him how to love like one. But the sky is calling her home. And Silas is only mortal. Love was never meant to be enough to hold back heaven. Was it? ----- Written for ONC 2025 Prompt 135 - ❝She really fell from the sky and landed right into my arm, I'm not even lying❞ ----- Cover by @devarsh_yagnik

An earlier version made the ONC 2025 Long List. This is the longer, revised version for the Wattys. Scott an insecure idealistic young man gets his girlfriend Zelda the latest Virtual reality goggles that not only control all your senses, but to a limited extent controls your thoughts such that you are unaware you are in a virtual world and experience the MMORPG adventure as if it were reality. For her birthday they go on two adventures where the question becomes will their love survive virtual realities with dream lovers and none of the inhibitions of actual reality. An exploration of ideas on love, sexuality, and reality. Hopefully thought provoking and entertaining.

After six years in a progressive French boarding school, eighteen-year-old Lady Alice returns to her family's estate in Surrey, dreading the fate that awaits her-- debutante balls, an arranged marriage, and a life she does not want. She would have preferred to stay in France, teaching and writing love tales rather than living one dictated by others. Once cast aside by her own father and a stepmother, Alice finds their sudden desire for reconciliation hollow. Only her childhood best friend, Michael, Marquess Lovelace, seems like a true comfort. But as she settles back into her former home, something strange begins to happen. A black rabbit, eerily familiar, appears in the shadows-- just like the one that belonged to Edmond, her long-forgotten imaginary friend. And then she meets Count D'Arcy, the enigmatic and elusive neighbour whose presence unsettles her. His eyes, his voice, his very being remind her of Edmond. Could it be him? Or is her mind playing tricks on her? As the social season unfolds, Alice finds herself tangled in a web of mystery, romance, and the supernatural. The past and present blur, forcing her to question what is real, what is illusion, and whether love can exist beyond the bounds of reason. In the haunting halls of her childhood home and under the watchful gaze of Count D'Arcy, Alice must uncover the truth before she loses herself to the unknown. ~~~ My entry for the ONC 2025 based on the prompt 105: Your childhood imaginary friend, who disappeared years ago, suddenly returns - only this time, they're real.

"...now I'm falling..."

"Sky was everything Nani wasn't-charming, loud, and adored by everyone. Nani had spent most of his university life alone, watching people come and go, never truly belonging. But when fate pulls him into Sky's world-a world of laughter, friendships, and chaotic energy-he finds himself experiencing something new: belonging. And then, something even scarier: love. He never meant to fall. He never meant to care this much. But when Sky starts dating someone else, Nani realizes the hardest thing about love isn't falling-it's staying silent when it's already too late." --- This is my first time writing a story, and English is not my first language, so I apologize in advance for any grammar or spelling mistakes.
