    Summary

    After an incident at her previous school Illi moves to a new town along with her family. The place is the embodiment of grid hell with nothing to do and nothing to see other than the local beach and an old lighthouse, and Illi's new school isn't much better than her old one, but hey, she only has to power through one more year, right? She even becomes friends with the group of local misfits, and for once in a long while things are beginning to look somewhat brighter.
    But something strange is happening at the old lighthouse. People claim to see lights at the top of the tower despite the lighthouse being abandoned for decades, and there are so many legends around it they have almost buried the truth about the events that went down in Oakwick half a century ago.
    So of course when one of her new friends goes missing Illi has to dive headfirst into the investigation. God help her.

    Summary

    For a lot of people, destiny, fate, or the universe are far away concepts meant for those stupid enough to believe them. Pete, however, believes that destiny is what will carry him towards greatness. But when fate continually puts him in the path of a stuck up, scrawny kid from his rival school, he begins to question what message the universe is trying to send him.

    Summary

    If Mikey had grown up next to anyone but his brother, who had FAGGOT emblazoned on his neck starting at age nine, his soulmarks would have been the talk of Belleville, New Jersey.

    Instead, it was Gerard who got the endless attention of schoolyard bullies and concerned, overbearing parents. Of course, Gerard himself didn’t do anything to help matters, because Mikey’s older sibling had decided from an early age to be as much of a nuisance to normal society as possible. Which was a confusing but ultimately just fine thing to Mikey, who preferred to stay as quiet and un-noticeable as possible. Being nothing and nobody is easy for him: he blocks the rest of the world through thick, perpetually smudged glasses and folds his gangly limbs in tight on miserable school bus rides.

    (In Chicago, Pete Wentz has had the words nothing and nobody cut into his ribs for as long as he can remember. He worries for his soulmate, because that’s the kind of person he is.)

    or, a character study slash summer of like retelling in which it's 2005, no one has showered in weeks, it's too hot for black clothes, and somehow the biggest problem is still boys who like boys

    Summary

    It was all Laura's fault. And Stiles'. Derek would not take responsibility for it.

    Not. At. All.

    Except who is he kidding? Derek has no one to blame for his family thinking he and Stiles are dating but himself.

    When Laura misreads a situation and thinks Derek's bringing his not so secret crush, Stiles to her wedding, Derek has no choice but to go along with it. Unless he wants his family worrying about him. Definitely not something he wants, he couldn't stand that. If only it was simple. And if only everyone didn't love him so much, making it all that much harder. Including for himself.
