Orange is the new Black
Four years ago, Luke Hemmings was driving off into the sunset with $100,000 in the back of his dads beat up truck after narrowly escaping arrest. Now, he's stuck in prison after his supposed ‘best friend' apparently ratted him out to the cops, where his bunk mates are an ex drug dealer and pyromaniac and a man sentenced for attempted murder. And they say prison isn't interesting.


An AU ficlet where Luke is naïve and pissed off, Michael is reserved and dealing with his anger issues one step at a time, Calum doesn't understand normality whatsoever and Ashton has too many secrets behind his smile.

Keep It A Secret

Samantha Brookes is a 23 year old single mother, who hadn't been out on the town in 3 years. So one night when she can finally go back to her old life of clubbing with friends, she certainly doesn't expect to pull; especially when she realizes just how attractive her one night stand is. She also doesn't expect the flirty texts that come her way afterwards, and the longing for something more with the man. 

But what happens on a Thursday Night when she attends her daughters pre-school open evening, to find said 'one night stand' stood alongside the other adults that are about to teach her child? 

They Keep It A Secret; because what they both want to do is certainly against the rules. 

some people showed an interest so i thought i would give it a go??

Try Hards
one: panicked little liars

Four years ago, Valencia Porter wasn't a supermodel; she was the American girl stranded in Oz for a year... And Michael Clifford was just the quiet emo kid who had an embarrassing crush on her.

But now Carly, Lenny's best friend, is dating Ashton Irwin - and Lenny is realising that little Mikey from English isn't just the quiet little emo kid anymore.

Far, far from it.

There comes a time in our lives when even the best of things seem to fall apart before our eyes. When, no matter how hard we try, the pieces just don’t seem to want to stay together and we have to sweep up the mess that‘s been made, let them become cherished memories that fade with time. 

But sometimes, when the best of all things in our lives are falling to pieces at our feet, we have to pick up those pieces and create something new out of what once was. Even if those pieces cause us to bleed. Even if the old wounds never quite heal. 

Because sometimes memories just aren’t enough. 

A story about the highest highs, the lowest lows, shattering parts, and finding the strength to glue the pieces back together again.

The Kids Aren't Alright 

Daisy would think back to her first love, and remember the way he made her feel, the way he showed her true happiness and re-ignited her passion to feel alive once again in a cruel world that put out her flame. She would remember the way her hair blew through the wind, and how her goosebumps always appeared around him, and how the adrenaline was always present in her veins, pumping through her body. 

But what she wouldn't share would be the way her happiness began to fizzle out slowly, and was replaced by tears and a perfect storm, or how her hair no longer flowed freely but instead hanged limp, almost like her emotions. Or that her goosebumps began to appear around him due to her worry of what was to come, and how the adrenaline was what she needed to make sure she made it out alive. 

Because what happens when a love is so strong, the thing that makes you so happy, also turns out to be the same thing that's slowly killing you on the inside? 

"Don't you know that the kids aren't al-, kids aren't alright?"

A two part story about having no self-hope, gaining self-respect and becoming self-destructive.

Brennan Hale had a nice life in Georgia. It was familiar to her, it was comfortable. It was safe.

So hauling her ass to Utah to help her recently-divorced cousin set up home wasn’t something she really wanted to so, but she owed her parents a good few favours and they have her no choice. She was just going to have to suck it up and get it over with, it would only take a couple of months before she was back home.

It was a simple enough plan.

Until the clichéd local villain threw a spanner in the works.

Calum Hood was bad in every sense of the word. Brennan barely knew him, but she’d heard enough rumours to know that she should stay the hell away from him if she wanted to keep her life problem-free.

He was dangerous, he was damaged, and he had more demons than anyone dared to mention.

But Brennan had a way of finding trouble wherever she went, and Calum Hood was used to getting what he wanted.

Ah, well. Brennan never had been one to listen to rumours, anyway.

Based on the movie Red Canyon

Never underestimate your enemies. 

That’s what Peter Pan learned when he thought the war between Neverland and Wonderland had ended. He wanted to blame the long war for many things — the fact that he’d needed to grow up a bit to fight in the war, that he’d had to send his Lost Boys away for safety, for being alone, and most of all, for aging — but he could only blame himself for the deaths of some of his most faithful Lost Boys after deeming it safe for them to return home. That one was all on him. 

He was, however, going to blame Wendy Darling for allowing most of his Lost Boys to forget about not only Neverland, but him while he was fighting for the safety of their home. Even if it hadn’t been her who had said she’d watch over the Lost Boys, she had convinced him to send them to earth in the first place. And it wasn’t as if she’d put up a fight to stop Tinkerbell from tampering with other kinds of magic and becoming human, either. 

Unfortunately, he had even bigger problems than his fairy friend giving into darkness and his human friend wanting him to stay on earth for good. 

Neverland was locked, officially taken over by Wonderland. He started aging even more than before and had to take up the alias Ashton Irwin to avoid the Wonderlanders who were out for his head. His remaining Lost Boys wanted nothing to do with him because they’d either forgotten or were happy with how their lives on earth had turned out. Then there was Wendy herself, who was one big complication that he didn’t know how to deal with or how to feel about. 

But he wasn’t going to allow any of that to stop him from finding a way home. 

A story of tall tales, a few too many curses, one boy who never wanted to grow up but might just need to anyway, the ways of warring worlds, and adventure, of course.
