Rising Shards

Hi all, happy new year! I did a poll a bit ago about how you wanted the side series, Evy & Stella, whether it be included in the main series or uploaded as a separate one. In series won the poll so I'm gonna try that here! Keep in mind Evy & Stella chapters will be 18+ and have some spice. If you're not feeling the spice, skip these chapters! If you are feeling the spice, I hope you enjoy! I'll alternate back and forth between Evy & Stella chapters and main chapters so you don't have to spend too much time away from the main gang.

Thank you for reading!

Stella Faleur was someone I had resigned to think could maybe be a friend someday. She was gorgeous, funny, a joy to talk to, a joy to listen to, a joy to just be in the presence of. If I could simply be her friend, I’d chalk it up as a win.

I just figured each of our lives would keep us from being anything more than that.

Yet on a snowy night at my apartment, I found myself locking eyes with her, moments before we kissed for the first time. As our lips met and we lost ourselves to the moment, I thought to myself that if it was just for one night, it was maybe one of the biggest wins of my life.

If my mind could have focused on anything else, I probably would have tried to trace it all back and figure out how things could end up so perfect, even for just a moment. One of those total movie freezeframe deals before a flashback. Instead, our mutual focus was on kissing and then shortly after tearing each other’s clothes off, which was probably better than a cliché.
