When Mae and Kayden meet again, the air between them is thick with everything left unsaid, anger, secrets, betrayal... and something sizzling that never truly faded. She wants answers. He can't risk the truth. Because some secrets don't just hurt. They destroy.

Grumpy x sunshine She grabbed my hand and shoved it between her thighs-tired of my teasing. She was already wet. I froze. Not a word. Not a sound. Just that slow, wicked burn crawling through my veins. "Cerisette..." She looked up at me, breathless and bold-my soft girl, gone without a trace. Then she whispered it-barely audible, barely sane. "Please, Osito." And I lost every ounce of control I had left. ------------------------------- Cassian died. Heart stopped. Flatlined. Lights out. Game over. But fate wasn't done. It spat him back out-breathing, blinking, broken. He thought dying was the hard part. Turns out, living with the weight of coming back is worse. Then came her. Red curls, chaotic joy, and an unshakable belief that even cookies deserve emotional support. She doesn't save him. She just makes him wish he never tried to leave a world with her in it. And that? That's the scariest part #16-grumpyxsunshine 05/17/2025 #9-grumpy 06/13/2025 #9-overdose 07/13/2025 #6-malepov 09/07/2025

Some people run toward new beginnings. Livie Dune is just running away. After a public breakdown and the kind of mistake small towns never let you forget, she transfers schools halfway through junior year. No friends, no attention, no second chances. Just get through the semester, disappear quietly, and maybe, finally, stop hurting. Milo Westbrooke was once untouchable--until an injury ended his future and an addiction nearly ended everything else. Now he's back from rehab, clean but not exactly clear, dragging a reputation he can't seem to shake. Everyone's just waiting for the relapse. Neither Livie nor Milo signed up for the school's peer wellness group, but skipping it isn't an option. So they make a pact: no deep talks and no saving each other. Just late-night drives, too-honest dares, and moments that almost feel like being okay. But the more they let their guards down, the more their pasts start to bleed through--and the harder it becomes to pretend they're not falling. Because broken people aren't always better apart. Sometimes, they're the only ones who get each other.

Neither of them are expecting to work things out, and make it right, but when secrets and trauma from the past starts resurfacing, and Milo learns the reason why Izzy left in the first place, things begin to get a little more complicated and the butterflies in their stomachs become more then just butterflies.
