    Summary

    Frank Iero is used to being alone—he’s violent, loud, and pretty good at scaring people off. But everything changes when two strange new siblings show up at his private school: Illi McMillin, a goth weirdo obsessed with vampires and horror movies, and Mikey, her quiet (and weirdly popular) younger brother. Frank writes her off as a total freak... until she talks to him. And sits with him. And maybe kind of steals his heart.

    High school just got way more complicated.

    Summary

    When Liz finds out her boyfriend is messing with him she sends Jess off to Stars Hollow, telling Luke he's been getting into trouble and needs straightening out.

    Even in the fictional version of this it's Jess's fault.

    Stars Hollow is no sanctuary, not when Jess is expected to sleep a few feet from a man he barely knows. While scamming for a few safe minutes of sleep a day Jess steals from his classmates and works in the diner, building up a nest egg for the day he runs for good.

    Summary

    Alexander doesn’t have good dreams. Not anymore. His waking moments aren’t good, so why would life give him a break as he sleeps? It’s all in his case file. The fights he picked, the ones he won, mostly the ones he lost. The bruises and the broken bones. The nightmares. The screams. The way you can count each one of his ribs, lost under the sea of purple mottled across his chest. The twelve sleeping pills in one straight line.
    The ten placements in three years.

    His social worker is at her wits end with the kid who will just slip through the cracks, who will end up on the streets, behind bars or in the ground before he reaches eighteen. He wishes he could reassure her, tell her that he’s different, that he’s not just some statistic, that he’s a person who’s going to be more, who’s going to break the cycle of violence upon violence. But he can’t lie between gritted teeth. He doesn’t have it in him

    Another Washington foster care fanfiction.

    Summary

    "You excited for your new release?" Jess asks. "It's gonna be a good one. I can feel it."

    Ash shrugs, though he knows she can't see it, and just sighs into the speaker.

    "Come on, Ash. You need to live a little."

    "What writer isn't an introvert?" Ash counters.

    "It's not about introversion, and you know it. It's about writing fucking love letters to the universe when you've never been in love."

    "How would you—!?"

    "Ash. You can't write love letters to readers you've never met. You need to learn to love yourself, and others, and your writing will be better for it. You need to go out there and experience shit before you can write about it."

    "... I've experienced plenty."

    Novelist Ash Lynx is about to release his newest book: a short story collection titled Love Letters to the Universe. But when his literary agent, Jessica, calls out how isolated he's become in recent years, he and his trusty wingman Shorter set out to conquer Ash Lynx's newest goal.

    "First the mafia, then the New York Times Bestseller list, and now love? This may be your greatest challenge yet."
