《Zodiac One Shots》This isn't acting (Aquarius (f) x Libra (m))
Advertisement
(Aquarius' POV)
"Love is powerful! It can break mountains! And you're telling me it can't open up your heart?" I cry out to my new co-actor. We are practicing for a play on Broadway, it's called "Caged".
"What do you know about love! You hate the world! You push everyone away! You pushed me away! You're heartless!" My co-actor, Libra, shouts. His emotion was so real.
"Scene!" The director calls out.
We walk off stage and get water. Libra bumps into me, but keeps walking. I fight the urge to shout at him. I ran my fingers through my hair as I yawn. The play hit a little close to home, but I keep walking. I head straight for the door, not caring if the director wants to talk, Capricorn can text me if she wants.
I get into my car and drive off. About 20 minutes later, some car in front of me starts driving like a piece of trash! I open my window and start shouting, since I always have road rage.
"Who ever thought you were qualified to drive in the heart of New York was the dumbest piece of trash, just like you!" I scream.
"LOOK WHO'S TALKING!" Is all I get in reply.
I roll up my window and drive for the next 5 minutes in a silent fit. I arrive at my apartment, and walk in. My room mate, Aries, was out staying with her sister. I was alone, in more ways than one.
I get a text from Capricorn.
Capricorn: Hi, Aquarius! I need you to hang out with Libra more so your bond grows, that way the emotion in the play is more believable. Thanks!
Aquarius: Whatever, I'll ask him now...
I text Libra.
Aquarius: Hey, Capricorn wants us to hang out more. Come over, my address is 1010 Zodiac ave.

Libra: k
30 minutes later, Libra arrives and we sit on the couch. We talk about the play and how Capricorn wants us to grow a bond. We order a pizza and talk some more.
"On my way home, someone started screaming that I'm a terrible driver! I just yelled 'Look who's talking!' People can be so insensitive..." He says.
"Oh... That was me..." I say, ashamed.
"The thing is... It was just a minute after I got a call, my grandpa died..." He trailed off.
I felt so upset that I said such mean things. I pat him on the back, trying to keep thing casual, not wanting to make things mushy. I look deep into his green eyes, and I felt a new feeling, a weird feeling, but it seemed so familiar...
I push myself into him and we kiss passionately. We pull away after a minute and I say sorry. I start crying, something I never do. Libra wraps his arms around me, gently. I let him hold me, and I let the tears fall.
"You're right! I don't know anything about love! My parents were never home, I never had a pet or a doll I cherish! My heart has been broken before, and I have trust issues! I don't know what's wrong with me! I'm heartless, you were right! I don't know why I'm feeling all this now, when you're grieving!" I cry.
He shushes me and picks my small body up. He takes me to my room and tucks me in bed. He says goodnight, kisses me on the forehead, then leaves.
-o-o-o-The Next Morning-o-o-o-
I come out of my room and look around. I see the soda and pizza in the fridge, the blankets folded and set neatly on the couch, and a vase that I've had for awhile, that used to sit there, empty, was full of beautiful flowers!

I walk out side and see Libra's car still out by the curb. I walk up to the window and see Libra lying in the passenger seat, sleeping. I tap on the window and he wakes up, his hair all ruffled. I blush at his handsome smile, while he opens the door. I lean in and give him a sweet kiss on his cheek.
"Come in! Let's have some coffee!" I say, grabbing his hand.
We go back in side and drink our coffee. We cuddle up on the couch and watch T.V.
"I trust you..." I whisper.
"Did you read the note?" He asks.
I get up, "No," I walk to the vase and point, "Here?"
"Yeah."
I look and find a note...
I turn, and hug him.

Dungeon from the Void
A strange new dungeon, only having recently left the void; a destructive new element, never-before seen by the inhabitants of Midgard; and a half-elf mercenary on the search for a peaceful life. Within the world of Midgard, most people struggle just to survive. However, a daring few fight within places known as 'dungeons' to get stronger so that they may make a place for themselves within this cruel world. These few are known as cultivators. Our story begins with a young dungeon core as he enters the world of Midgard for the first time. This dungeon core, one bound to an element known only by the strongest people within the world, starts his new life outside of the void within a secluded mountain range, far away from any kingdom. How will the world react to this new dungeon core and his extremely dangerous element? That is yet to be foretold. Book 1 is available on Amazon Kindle Unlimited. Book 2 is available on Amazon Kindle Unlimited. The rest is available on Royal Road. If you do not have the financial means to purchase the books, then you may DM me on discord through my discord channel for a pdf version of the books. This is the first book I ever started out of my four current ongoing stories. This story has been edited through nearly a dozen times since the majority of the reviews, so take that in mind if you read through the reviews. This is a LitRPG and cultivation-based novel where the two are interlinked and the characters have to reach a certain degree of cultivation and a certain level in order to break through into the next tier. I tend to make a lot of maps for this book. I hope that you all enjoy my novel, and feel free to comment on any issues or errors you may notice. My Discord Server Top Web Novel Link

Re-Ordaining of the Chosen
Alea cheerfully hummed as she descended the steps, brimming in upbeat while her colleague, Quarren Leos, shot her a look of skepticism. “So… were you right about him?” he asked doubtfully. She came to a stop for a moment, her humming falling silent before she shook her head, waving her medium length light-blonde hair from side to side. “I was wrong about him.” Quarren raised an eyebrow in confusion at the convoluted response.“But you seem quite happy?” he asked again. “Because I am. But I was wrong about him. He was… so much more than I ever expected.” Alea looked at the sky overhead with a smile. “That boy… no, that man, is amazing. I firmly believe he will come to stand on top of any adversary he faces. He is destined. He is Chosen.” Quarren snorted as he stepped past, shaking his head. “Okay. Each to their own beliefs but you’re sounding like a nutjob. That skinny twig? Everyone calls him a cripple, you know,” he shook his head.“Rumours are always false, Leos,” Alea answered with a disapproving shake of her head. “You wouldn’t know. He is so, so much more.” “I saw him with my own two eyes. I didn’t see anything redeeming,” Quarren rebutted. “Well…” Alea chuckled. “You haven’t seen what I’ve seen.” In the year 917 of the Imperial Calendar, the Great War had just ended between dozens of nations. Farrien welcomed home millions of troops and warriors with the Archdukes of Aerianne and Kanaria leading them at the forefront. Since the founding of Farrien, the Aerianne and Kanarian Archduchies have been pillars upholding the Kingdom from enemies. It was common belief that they possessed special blood blessed by the Goddess Stecia, who gifted the lineage to the first King of Farrien when he first founded the country. All were ecstatic when the current generation of the two Archduchy's, after the war, agreed to let their children wed. The excitement was short-lived however when the Aerianne Princess proved to be a dragoness among men but the Kanarian Prince was worse than even mediocre. The Prince disappeared and the wedding was shortly forgotten as society lived on. Until one day the Young Heir of Kanaria returned to Farrien a changed man, bringing demise with him. Follow the story of the Chosen ordained by the Goddess of Time as he returns to the past to right his wrongs and set things back straight again! Many thanks to xSTAYc for the cover design and various co-creative elements in the conscription phase! :p
