Luckless by NinaQ-rec'd by Edmazing
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8959415/1/Luckless

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10650457/1/Re-shaping-Hearts
It's one thing to be infatuated with your almost brother-in-law, it's another altogether when he reaches out to you and offers to make your fantasies a reality. Hearts don't get broken in fantasies though. Rated M

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10638075/1/Sea-Salt
