You Wanna Go To Vegas? (Luke Castellan x Oc)
Bri couldn't tell you if she loved Luke the first time she met him (even if it was more along the lines of wouldn't). But Luke could. He could pinpoint the exact moment he met her, past the seeing her around camp at his first week there. And he could proudly label that moment as the one where she completely stole his heart and his entire life would change. Not that he knew that at the time. Because crushes were just, crushes. And they were just 15 year old kids.( a Luke Castellan self insert I wrote because Luke doesn't get enough appreciation )

Heroes in Love
What if Catherine Bennet from Pride and Prejudice met Harry the Pedlar from Jamaica Inn in a clash of characters? 'Heroes In Love' tells the tale of stupidity and childish pride, reckless action and running away from problems. But this is not a classic. When Kitty first meets Harry, she experiences a boldness such as she's never felt before and acts upon impulse chasing Harry across counties. Harry was never expecting to meet someone like Kitty. The goal after escaping the noose was simple: escape, take every moment of happiness and keep, keep moving; but Kitty wouldn't let that happen. Will Harry and Kitty ever reach the safety and fulfilment they both desire? Or are they walking into even greater danger?This short story picks up two of the mangiest, vain, shallow and generally horrid characters from literature and makes them heroes through the power of love. But it's a double meaning: inasmuch as they become heroes through love, they are the heroes in love with each other.Reader comments:"we all make mistakes and do things wrong, but they will go forward different people, appreciating each other""they were all reformed""his heart is melted...she becomes stronger"
