Summary
You can only pray he didn't see. You hoped he didn't. And if he did... then hopefully he didn't recognize you. You've changed so much after all. Everything about you changed a lot since your teenage years. Maybe if you were actually over it you could've visited your family here. You know for a fact that they still live here despite how limited your contact is. Your moms always tried their best even if you were a difficult child. Even if you just straight left one day after another. You just wanted to get as far away from here as possible. Everything that could've reminded you of your feelings. And just so happened that you weren't getting along with your parents at the moment... it gave you everything you needed in your head to justify leaving. They didn't know where you got the money from or where you went. You just told them that you were moving out, that's it. You never said goodbye to him either, or your sister for that matter.

Summary
"As Baxter’s eyes wandered around the table, his suspicion was confirmed. There he was. Him and his raven-black hair, his golden eyes, his freckled face. His expression was stoic except for the faint smile he had after teasing Baxter. He let out an unsteady breath as he looked at the person he had shared his summer with all those years ago—the person he tried to forget as time passed. But of course, it could never be that easy, could it?
It didn’t matter."A retelling of Baxter's Step 4 DLC (and other moments) from his perspective.
I am in the middle of rehauling this entire fic! It's been about a year and a half since I last updated, and after playing the game again, I have a renewed sense of vigor. If you've read this story before, I recommend starting at the beginning, as chapters have been combined and rearranged.

Summary
For years, the game Our Life: Beginnings & Always was Elise Rowan's only escape from the tragic truth of reality--an escape to a world where everything felt warm, safe, and perfect. She'd always longed to live in Sunset Bird, and to be near Cliff Holden--the man she'd fallen for through a screen. Until one night, her wish came true, but it came with a price. She found herself standing face-to-face with a small seaside town she had only read about on display and seen in pictures; however, could she truly belong in a place that wasn't meant to exist?

My (23) ex (24M) I haven’t seen in 5 years is the planner for a wedding I’m helping put together
TLDR - my ex boyfriend is the wedding planner for my friend’s older brother, and since I’ve been helping get things ready for the wedding, I’ve had to be around him a lot. I still have feelings for him and he’s starting to open up to me again, but I’m afraid he’s just going to cut me off after he doesn’t have a reason to keep seeing me anymore like he did when he broke up with me 5 years ago. I don’t know what I should do about it, if anything. The wedding’s tomorrow.

Summary
An exploration of a bittersweet concept, and a spin-off/alternate end/companion piece to my Baxter Ward/Fem Reader Story.
If Cove could go back and tell you all the things he wished he'd said before it's too late.
[Features a Cove that gets a little more jealous than canon, acts a little more daring; also, this story references the plot of my BW/Reader Fic a little. Spoils portions of OL1 & its DLC Moments]
