《Hockey Imagines》Peter Holland ~ TML
Advertisement
I rang the doorbell and waited outside for B/F/N to get the door for me. Most likely, I stood out there for 5 minutes before I heard the door open and I looked at who it was.
"Hey Pistol Pete, how're are you doing?" I cracked a ginormous smile, walking inside the house and gave him a hug.
"I'm doing fairly well, how about you, Y/N/N?" He hugged me a little tighter, making me giggle.
"Hey Peter, you're kinda overgripping me a little...I can't breathe...." I whispered, weakly chuckling.
Peter immediately let go, looking at me. "Oh, sorry there. Anyways, B/F/N's apparently at her boyfriend's place, so I'm all alone here...Hey, would you like to watch a movie with me?"
A blush rose on my cheeks and I started to stutter. "Of course! What movie are you thinking of?"
"I was thinking something along the lines of The Hunger Games maybe?"
Nodding my head, Peter grabbed my hand and we both ran over to the living room, which was ready from the pillows and blankets to the movie snacks.
"After you, my kind lady." He said in a gentleman accent, leading me to the couch.
"Why thank you, Mr. Holland." I smiled, sitting down on the couch.
Peter took a seat next to me, grabbing the Xbox controller and turned on the TV. Opening the Netflix app, he typed in "The Hunger Games" and started the movie.
Towards the middle of the movie, I felt an arm snake around my waist and I looked up at Peter.
"Oh, I probably shouldn't have done that! I am so sor-" Peter rambled, when I laughed to cut him off.
"It's fine, Pistol Pete...I don't mind at all!"

I thought it was safe to say that Peter and I really enjoyed spending time together. I burrowed my head into the crook of Peter's neck, his body radiating heat which made me feel like I was in middle school all over again.
Out of nowhere, tears started to leak out of my eyes as the part where Rue was shot with an arrow and Peter, being the sweet guy he was, he rubbed circles on my back; making me feel somewhat relaxed.
Along the way, we got to the point where Katniss had to help Peeta heal his wound and at the scene of their heated kiss, Peter all of a sudden; paused the movie. I felt his grip on me tighten a little bit and I also felt him getting tense.
"Hey Peter, you feeling alright?" I turned around to face him and almost immediately, he placed his lips onto mine, giving my lips a soft and gentle kiss.
I placed my arms around his neck and it went up to his hair, messing it up slightly. The kiss soon grew into a makeout session. Hearing the door open and close, I heard footsteps walking into the run and a giggle come out.
"Peter and Y/N sitting in a tree, KISSING! First comes love..." B/F/N teased and I pulled away from the makeout session, grabbing a throw pillow and I threw it in her direction.
"Shut up...Besides, when did you get here?" I blushed, hiding my face in Peter's chest and I heard him laugh.
"A few minutes ago...And let me just say, you two might be the cutest couple on the planet!" She squealed and I rolled my eyes. "Did you tell her, Peter?"

"Tell me what?"
"I got traded and I have to move somewhere far away...." Peter dramatically sighed, making my heart drop.
"Are you serious, Pistol Pete?" I squeaked out as I was at a loss for words.
"Nah, I'm just messing with ya. What B/F/N was referring to was about my crush on you. Y/N, when she brought you over to our house a few years ago, I just knew that I fell in love with you. That's why I rarely talked to you whenever you came over...I'm sorry if I made you think like I was a jerk to you in the past, but that was because I didn't what to say to you...But I think I know now. Y/N L/N, I am in love with you and I was hoping if you'd be my girlfriend?" Peter bit his lip, smiling in hope yet nervousness.
I slightly laughed before I nodded my head. "Yes, I'd love to be your girlfriend, Peter Holland."
Peter's smile grew bigger, now smiling from ear to ear. He gave me another kiss but I pulled away when I heard the sound of a camera.
Looking up, I found B/F/N with her phone in her hand, tears welling up in her eyes. She laughed before taking off, "You're never gonna catch me!"
"I love you, Y/N L/N. I might've said that before, but I genuinely feel love whenever I'm around you." He stared into my E/C eyes, brushing away a stray hair from my face.
"And I'm in love with you, Peter Holland, infinity and beyond."
"Did you just quote Buzz Lightyear?"
"Maybe I have or maybe I didn't..."

God complex
A hero is summoned to another world, vanquishes evil, yadda yadda, saves the kingdom and lives happily ever after. There is no such hero in this story. Just a desperate youth with great ambition and very little to lose. A zero to hero style story set in a country clearly inspired by modern USA with just as many issues and the minority of mages often pulling strings from the shadows. I am also hoping the whole thing won't turn out edgy enough to cut me. I want to rely on actual good writing rather than cheap powertrip gimmicks. edit: Please don't mind Zetari's salty review. He is quite literally making up any use of the torture and human experimentation trope and says MC is blank after 4 chapters where he conveniently stops reading just at the start of his first character development. For extra entertainment, I will be uploading chapters two at a time and compose a relevant poem through the chapter names. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

I will not be eaten
Litchi is your ordinary Royal Road addict. She can’t resist the call of a new chapter even when she needs to work. Because of too many new responsibilities she promises one week without reading. Sadly, she cracks in three days, because of an Azarinth Healer notification. Taking out her phone she starts avidly reading. It’s just a small promise, she will try it another time. Nothing should happen. Say that to the goblin that tries to eat your face, Litchi! You should keep your promise! She was used to food jokes on her name but it seems that this time her destiny is to be eaten. ---- Hello future reader! I didn’t find a new good isekai so why not create my own? I am an RR addict and amateur writer (in French) and today I decided to publish a story. You will have my eternal gratitude for any advice or constructive comments on the story! One of my objectives is to have developed characters, duo or trio make a fantastic way to character growth. So, I will try to create a deep relationship between a few of them. The first few chapters have a lot of combat, but other characters will soon arrive. Those first few chapters are made to build tension and create Litchi's first motivations. This story has the plot written to the end and important characters already shaped. This story is short in comparison to the majority of RR fantasy stories. Update every two days until I have no more chapters in my pocket. Average chapter length: 2200 words Warning: The grammar can be bad, IMPORTANT CHARACTERS CAN (Will) DIE, contain philosophical conversation as the characters stumble upon morals dilemmas. I hope I will see you soon in the comments and thank you in advance for reading Litchi’s journey. Have a nice day! :)

The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized
