A fanfic focusing on the characters Mariah and Tessa from the daytime soap opera Young and the Restless. They aren't together on the show (at least not yet *fingers crossed*) so this is my version of how it could happen ;-D ***It's been a long, long time since I've written fan-fiction, so I've forgotten how that disclaimer thingamagig goes. Anyhoo, the characters of Mariah and Tessa (along with any other Y&R characters who might pop up or are at least mentioned) are the property of the CBS network and Young and the Restless.

~The SEQUEL to 'Alex's Girl' is finally here~ It has been seven years since the events of 'Alex's Girl', where Alexis Sterling loved then lost Valerie Greco, a troubled but selfless young woman who managed to sneak her way into Alex's heart when she wasn't looking. Though Alex still misses Val every day, she has tried to move on with her life. She has become an emergency room doctor, she's moved into a beautiful new home, and she's even made some new friends. She also spends a lot of her time witnessing firsthand the ripple effect her actions seven years ago have caused her beloved city, with mob violence growing increasingly out of control and the hospitals quickly filling to capacity with more and more victims. Tensions are high as the Costa crime family are more powerful than they have ever been before, bringing the city to its very knees. And to make matters worse, Alex has unwittingly befriended the daughter of her most hated enemy, Ciro Costa, the man responsible for Val's death. The Grecos, on the other hand, have been laying low the last seven years, their illegal operations mostly cloaked in shadows... that is... until now. The Grecos are back, and they're back with a vengeance that demands blood. Their sudden comeback as a powerhouse crime family has Alex asking, how? Or perhaps the question she should be asking is, who?

Cara Mackintosh and Ellie Temple were as different as night and day except for having one essential thing in common: loving each other. That love was put to the test when one tumultuous night in 1975 sent the teenage pair on the run from the law.

Weekends are for pancakes. Mondays cornflakes, Tuesdays grilled cheese sandwiches, Wednesdays cornflakes again, Thursdays oatmeal and Fridays bagels. Colby found herself wanting French toast so when her fiancé suggests they take a one-week break from their relationship in order to pursue other...eats, she takes him up on it. WARNING: This short story has been rated Mature for strong language and strong sexual situations (wouldn't be surprised if Wattpad puts a padlock on it). It could probably be under the category of PWP (plot-what-plot) but I endeavored to add a smidgen of one ;-) UPDATE: Yup, they put the padlock on making it private. Not entirely sure how that works, but below I'll post the link to chapter 2. I do believe you must follow me in order to read: Chapter 2 -- http://www.wattpad.com/137578458-french-toast-chapter-2

50 Shades of Meet-Cute (in other words, how we met, ultimately falling in luuurve) Issuing a challenge to myself Barney Stinson style to create fifty meet-cute situations through a collection of LGBTQ related one-shots. Meaning, two people meet in some way and find themselves drawn to one another. These stories are meant to be snippets showing how they met and I plan to keep them in the 500-2000 word count range although I already broke that self-made rule with Shade #2...oops ;-) Intending to update with at least one story per week. Spoiler Alert: These pairings are guaranteed Happily Ever After endings ☺ ***If you have any celebrities/situations you'd like to read please feel free to share them with me and if I write it, I'll dedicate it to you! Hope you enjoy

***GirlXGirl Romance*** Living in New York you learn to keep up with the quick pace of the city, myself included. I was never the one to stop and smell the roses, but that was until I met her on that dull September afternoon. Her eyes were light and dark at the same time, as if a devil and an angel lived inside of her. Time itself had stopped, and since that day everything had changed, ever since I had crossed paths with Drew Wilder.

Emma receives an intensely personal email from a stranger by mistake, a woman she doesn’t know, and starts emailing back. What begins as nothing more than a sympathetic conversation suddenly turns to sex, and Emma and the stranger start talking, and flirting, and writing each other dirty emails, and Emma wonders how far she wants this to go. ----------------- Um, hi, and so again, yes, I’m talking in here. Sorry. So this is a bit of an idea, kind of a mix of normal story, and the emails two people send each other. It’s got a bit more organized now, so I can explain properly. I’m not quite sure where it’s going, but basically a mix of Emma and Alyssa’s sort-of affair, and Emma writing emails to Alyssa about how she feels. So the chapters that say “Emma” or “Emailing” are the email ones. Um, obviously. Emma also writes dirty stories to Alyssa, about how she imagines they might meet, and what they do. This seems to be turning into a thing too. So at the moment, those are chapters 8, 9, 11, 14 , 15, 16, 20, and 21. These are basically short stories on their own, so if you want to just look at those without all the rest, you can. So this because I wanted to do some first-person, but not completely, and also not just them sending each other their fantasies, because that seems impersonal. So sending that, but also other stuff too, so you see what else is going on for them, other than what they actually say to each other. And kind of assume there’s lots of smiley and xxxs and stuff all through the emails, because, yeah. But I decided it was easier to read this way, like just as words in a conversation, as if they’re talking with their voices. That’s also why it’s “she wrote” rather than trying to describe each email turning up one by one. So hopefully the emails don’t look too weirdly formal like this though. Um, :), !, and xxx, there you go. And thank you for looking. Just, so much! I’m so glad people want to! Yay!
