When a total stranger knows what eats you, maybe they are your one true love. Even if you don't know it yet. || On Friday the 13th, two twenty-something, Daya and Mike, end up in a mutually beneficial arrangement: she is his caregiver after he breaks his foot; he provides room&board to help her out with a teeny-tiny cash flow problem. Not a whiff of a romance, strictly business. And for a while, all is good... for about five minutes, that is. What can an overweight man, a video game obsessed librarian, know about her quitting a challenging sport of figure skating, Daya scoffs. He needs to get off her case and sort out his binge eating! What does a celery-chewing skating diva care about his failure as a PhD candidate, Mike wonders. She is just replacing her dreams with his non-existing problems instead of pursuing her one true passion! With the two already teetering on the brink of mutually assured destruction, oil splashes onto the flames when Daya resumes her never-ending quest for skating triumph at Canadian Nationals. (Well, that should make Mike happy, right? Right?) But isn't there *something* worth fighting for *together*? Like, you know, love? COMPLETED. First Published: August 19, 2019 Trigger warning: This story contains themes of eating disorders and body image insecurity (male).

*COMPLETE* "You could stay with me." Delilah Lasting- or 'Lilo', to the few who are close to her- all but gave up her whole life when her father fell fatally ill. These days, she spends most of her time as his carer: managing his medicine and the housework, all the while balancing home duties with her studies. Nobody helps her- not another family member, and certainly not her old friends, including the ex-boyfriend who broke her heart. Enter Khan Farid- the mysterious, charismatic new boy at school. Khan is as charming as it gets... on the outside. Inside, he hides a multitude of secrets that could threaten his family's security, and even their lives. Following a disastrous first meeting, Lilo wants to avoid Khan at all costs, but when the two get roped into doing lights for the school production together, this resolution is harder than ever to maintain. Especially as Khan seems to be the one person in her life who actually seems to care. But worlds keep Lilo and Khan separate, and they're both soon to learn that no matter how much you love a person, it means nothing if you don't understand them. Both suffer within their life experiences- but that kind of connection only lasts as long as both sides keep trying. Will their struggle to maintain their relationship prove that two broken hearts don't make a whole? Or will it be the other way around?

Millennial immigrant Ingrid has quasi-settled in Berlin. She's got a place of her own, the beginning of a career and 'a conscience but not a heart,' according to her barkeep best friend with benefits, Remi. Dale is an awkward exchange student, abroad for the first time and powerless to resist Ingrid's charms when a mutual friend introduces them. He gets tangled up with her at the same time as his newfound mentor Oskar confronts Ingrid about the heartbreak she caused him way back when. Trapped between her conscience and her urge to sink her teeth into fresh prey, Ingrid must make a choice. Give the wishful-thinking fool what he wants and tear him to pieces, or let him go and hope for the best? *featured on the reading lists of official Wattpad profiles: @dangerouslove - 'Bad Girls' @WattpadUrban - 'Street Love' @BadassReads - 'The Badass Queen' @ChickLit - 'Adulthood' @Wattpad - 'Community Curator: @grendelthegood' Killer cover by @lxcksmith
