Emotional Baggage

Before We Were Strangers

You were eight years old when your best friend disappeared from your life. His parents died in a horrific accident, and he was gone. No goodbye. No explanation a child could understand. Just thirteen years of unanswered questions. Now you’re twenty-one, transferring universities for a fresh start, and everything is looking up. Until you discover your childhood bully goes here. Cassidy Danvers. The beautiful, universally adored girl who made your adolescence miserable while somehow convincing everyone she was a sweetheart. And because the universe apparently hates you, she’s the cheer captain. Dating the star quarterback who happens to have familiar blue eyes. Messy copper-red hair. And a name you haven’t heard in thirteen years. Dawson. Your Dawson. And he’s completely, hopelessly in love with the girl who made your life hell.

♡ Geto Suguru | The Boy You Didn’t See

He was everyone’s first choice. Except yours. Suguru Geto could have any girl he wanted, but unfortunately, his heart belonged to the one girl hopelessly in love with his best friend, Satoru Gojo. And while Satoru effortlessly received your affection, Suguru spent every day quietly wishing you’d look at him the same way. He remembered everything about you. Loved everything about you. Even helped you win Satoru’s heart. Because loving you was easy. It was being loved by you that seemed impossible.

✧ Gobble till you wobble / MALE POV

Y/N agreed to spend Thanksgiving in a cabin with his friends. Friends. As in, people who supposedly liked him. Unfortunately, the guest list includes his ex-girlfriend, her suspiciously attentive “best friend,” the girl he’s been seeing lately, a professional mean girl with a camera roll full of evidence, and approximately seven people who should not be trusted around tequila. There’s also enough food to feed a small village, enough alcohol to compromise everyone’s judgment, and enough unresolved sexual tension to set the entire property on fire. The plan? Eat turkey. Play games. Make memories. The reality? Old hookups resurfacing, secrets getting exposed, couples imploding, and Y/N discovering that his breakup apparently had an entire extended universe he was never informed about. Eight people. One cabin. Three days. And a narrator who would like to formally apologize to absolutely nobody. Happy Friendsgiving. Try not to ruin each other’s lives before dessert.

Carry It Anyway [Law & Order: SVU]

The Manhattan SVU bullpen never really sleeps. Between overnight hospital calls, impossible case files, fluorescent lights buzzing at 3 AM, and detectives held together by caffeine and stubbornness alone, the unit has slowly become less like a workplace and more like a family...messy, exhausted, fiercely protective, and emotionally dangerous in ways nobody fully notices until it’s too late. You've only been with SVU for several months, but somehow they’ve already become woven into the emotional rhythm of the bullpen itself. Victims trust them immediately. Detectives lean on them without thinking. The room feels lighter whenever they walk in after long nights. At first, being needed felt good. Now the responsibility is starting to settle heavier: late nights becoming normal, everyone depending on them a little too easily, kindness slowly turning into obligation. Nobody in the squad means to ask too much from you. That’s what makes it worse. Inspired heavily by Labour by Paris Paloma

Grief is a messy, unscripted thing. So you keep calling your later sister Isabelle’s old number. A place to dump all the grief, the stupid daily updates, and the things you wishes you could still say. ​But thousands of miles away in Austin, Texas, a real estate agent named Wes Carter just inherited that exact phone number for his work phone. He didn't expect to inherit a stranger's entire heart in twenty-second audio clips. He knows he should text back. Instead, he listens, but he doesn't interrupt.

At seventeen, Noah Bennett loved you like forever was a promise. At twenty-one, you moved to Utah. Now, a year later, the boy who once laughed at everything barely smiles. His warmth has turned to anger, his laughter to silence, and the future he imagined with you has become a collection of unanswered questions. So he buys his first plane ticket, loses his luggage in Chicago, and crosses the country to find the person he never stopped loving. But the mountains have changed you. And heartbreak has changed him. He screamed your name until he lost his voice. Now he just wants to know if you ever heard him.

She doesn't come from a wealthy family and isn't a legacy student. She's there strictly on an academic scholarship. She's in the home-stretch of senior year, ready for what comes next. What happens when the boy with the reputation around campus starts to pay attention to the way y/n quietly navigates Crossgrove University? Since the day y/n stepped on campus she's been warned about Parker Blackwood. His family comes from money and generations of Blackwoods have always attended Crossgrove University. He's a womanizer, used to getting whatever and whoever he wants, until you show up.

The Sun Today.

“The sun on the worst day of your life.” Two strangers. Two shitty days. One fading sunset. Matt Whitaker has spent his life searching for somewhere to belong, carrying the weight of a childhood that taught him not to expect much from anyone. Y/n is fighting battles of her own, desperately searching for a little peace in a world that refuses to quiet down. Neither planned to meet. Neither expected company. Yet, on an abandoned parking garage rooftop, beneath a sun they interpret in entirely different ways, their paths cross. She sees an apology. He sees a mockery. Somehow, they understand each other a little more than two strangers should. They don’t know it yet, but sometimes the people who change your life aren’t the ones who arrive with promises or grand gestures. Sometimes, they’re simply the ones who happen to be there on the day you need someone most. And sometimes, even the worst days leave a little light behind.

The hospital feels too clean. Everything happened too fast. One minute you’re in the woods, and the next you’re surrounded by bright fluorescent lights and unfamiliar faces. It’s loud, overwhelming, and the borrowed clothes hanging off your body don’t feel like yours. Nothing feels familiar. Nothing feels safe. You sit on the edge of Lottie’s hospital bed, searching for comfort in one of the few people who understands. One of the people you came back with. One of the people who didn’t want to come back.

Story prompt- As a joke, or maybe more as a cry for help, Hannah wrote a letter to an inmate. She had seen the idea online, someone she followed on social media did it for a YouTube video. Having nothing better to do, Hannah wrote one. And it ended up going to Liam. They wrote letters back and forth to each other for months. Hannah, being the emotionally open person that she is, told Liam everything about her parents. How they emotionally and mentally abuse her. And Liam, being the type of person he is, tucked this information away. Vowing to Hannah that he would someday make the pain go away. Fast forward to today, exactly a week until Liam’s release date he suggests that Hannah comes to the prison to meet and talk in person. She accepts, excited to finally see the face of who she’s been writing back and forth with for months. In Liam’s mind, he’s already claimed her. And Hannah, she doesn’t seem to mind the attention one bit.

Legacy, Laugh, Love

After the death of Sir Nighteye, Nighteye Agency is left struggling to find its footing. The agency survives, but the loss of its founder has left a noticeable emptiness behind. Mirai Sasaki had built the agency around discipline, precision, and an unwavering belief that heroes had a responsibility to prepare for the worst—even when the future itself seemed hopeless. Months after his death, an aspiring young hero joins the agency. Y/n arrives with an unusual Quirk, a strong work ethic, and a reason for choosing Nighteye Agency that isn’t entirely professional. Rather than being intimidated by the agency’s reputation or the legacy of its former leader, y/n is determined to prove that Nighteye’s work can continue without becoming trapped in the past. Among the agency’s remaining heroes is Kaoruko Awata, better known as Bubble Girl. At first, Bubble Girl sees y/n as another rookie who needs to be trained. She’s friendly but professional, and she has little patience for someone who doesn’t take agency work seriously. Y/n, meanwhile, finds her energetic personality and sharp instincts surprisingly difficult to ignore. (I decided to post my first story for my birthday tomorrow)

Project: Sentient

After escaping years of experimentation at Axiom Dynamics, Carmen Vale emerges into the world unable to control the emotion-fueled energy woven into her body—causing instability everywhere she goes. When the Avengers track her down, they realize she isn’t a villain, but she is too dangerous to be left alone. Forced to bring her in, they walk the line between protection and containment while Carmen fights against another cage. As her past resurfaces through Elias Kade and her powers begin to spread beyond her control, Carmen must decide whether staying is surrender—or the only way to keep others safe.
