Summary
Luke *wants* to be better. He's working to be better. But he can't help the feeling of being a burden to those around him who want to help him be better.
How does one let help in when one's spent so long helping himself?
He wants to believe they're helping but the him in his mind is too much, too loud, too *persuasive* and it's getting harder and harder to ignore it, to not drip himself dry but dammit he *wants* to get better.
Right?

Summary
Angelina had resented her father for as long as she could remember him being in her life, so when he forced her to move to England to live with him, she could only set fire to the plans he set and the suitors he tried to match her up with.
John had lived in a full house all his life, he was someone who loved his family and it was heartbreaking when he left for school - even more-so when he willingly dragged himself back to England to work for an Earl under the guise of sending the money to help keep his family afloat.
So what happens when a young American woman who hates every man brought to her by her father is introduced to a young Scotsman?
Well, they have a picnic of course.

Summary
Okay. Let's do this one more time.
My name is Spider-Man. My real name? Well, that's something I'm gonna keep to myself.
I was bitten by a radioactive spider and for the past 2 years, I've been the one and only Spider-Man in London. It was hard at first, being the only one with this power in a world where it shouldn't exist, but I think I've managed pretty well!
Juggling my uni work and keeping the city crime-free is… not easy, neither is keeping my identity a secret. But again, I think I'm managing all of those. I have a great family and some pretty awesome friends and I wouldn't change it for the world.
I just wish they'd stop trying to figure out who I am.

Summary

But they weren't a blip, they weren't a potential possibility, they were very very real - Luke found this out the hard way when his life changed and he was sentenced to be one for the rest of his life.

Summary
Humans have always had a weird affiliation with losing time.
L'appel Du Vide, Déjà Vu, Disassociation.
And whatever the hell Luke was stuck in.
–
Timeloops are tricky. You live the same day over and over with no knowledge on how to get out unless you find the jigsaw pieces and put the puzzle together yourself.
Sometimes it's love.
Sometimes it's friendship.
Sometimes it's simply admitting you need help.
Unfortunately for Luke, it takes him a lot longer to admit himself to a vulnerability that would change everything.

Summary
Luke Manning was consistently referred to as the bright one, the short one, the member with the most infectious laugh and the most glamorous hairstyles. He was the one who lived in Spain with his girlfriend Paloma.
But that was a different universe.
Because you see in this universe, he was the one who harboured feelings for not only a man, but a man who was one of his best friends.
Because in *this* universe, he had sunk into a pit full of ugly black shadows with tendrils that wrapped around him and pulled him in like quicksand; and his fingers were barely breaching the surface as they searched for a saviour.

Summary
It was finally happening. An idea when they were younger turning into neverending texts, frustrated phone calls and eventually Luke apologetically making everyone reschedule multiple times because of work and living in Spain.
But it was finally happening.
The four of them had posted across all of their social media about going on a small hiatus, the reasons a mystery much to the curiosity of their fans when in fact, the four of them had plane tickets under their belt, a map full of stops and sights and a caravan waiting patiently for them on American soil paired with the rule of ‘no work allowed’.
To put it simply? A road-trip.
That's all it is… I swear.

Summary
Soulmate - a close friend or romantic partner with whom one has a unique deep connection based on mutual understanding and acceptance.
Soulmark - a physical mark or symbol on the persons’ body that identifies their soulmate(s), serving as a visual manifestation of their soulbond.
//
If there weren’t physical implications and thousands of articles with the proof of soulmates and the evolution of soulmarks throughout the history, the first signs starting as early as 1854 then, Eddie wouldn’t believe in them.
He has a hard time believing in ‘the universe’ and crystals and even things like the Alebrijes anyways let alone soulmates but, they’re there and they’re obvious and he had given up the idea of searching for the bastard who left him born with a black handprint on his face a long time ago.Series

Summary
Smii7y had been born with an unusual talent to predict something in the future; it had started as a joke with his friends both in person and online, their shouts of shock and laughs of joy rang out in the open whenever something he had “predicted” came true.
He had fun with it of course, the deviousness he’d feel whenever his body tingled and his mind buzzed, an image swarming into his vision, mouth moving with it as he tells his friends and they all wait for it to come true.
One day though, sat alone in his room, he gets a vision, just one word; John.

Pezzy had a secret.
A secret he had managed to keep hidden for years.
It was a secret that had caused him to lose his family, to be kicked out, never to be spoken to again.
He was so scared about his friends; his new family to find out. Pezzy didn’t think he’d be able to handle their rejection as well, that’s why he was keeping it a secret.
What was the secret?
Well, her name was Maxine and according to his parents:
He’d killed her.Series

Summary
Vampires had always been a part of modern culture, their sharp skin piercing fangs and the need to consume blood among many other qualities was something the average person had ample knowledge of. The many types of media helped to paint a picture of a blood sucking, human killing, immortal being who could travel silently through the night.
Thank god it was all simply a myth.
---
'Pezzy was sick and tired of the bad reputation Vampires were subjected to due to what the modern media churned out repeatedly.
Yes, they needed an invite to enter someone’s house.
And yes, they needed human blood to survive.
Everything else was honestly complete bull and Pezzy was sick of it.'
