Confused, chaotic and closeted. If you ask Milo Jiang to describe himself in three words, those are the words he would choose. Mostly because his vocabulary is extremely limited. With a life full of routine, Milo spends his time studying for tests, failing them, and studying for them all over again. Until Xen Rathore, his father's business partner's son - sorry, his obnoxious son - offers to tutor him. Only then does Milo realise that his life is a story, and not just three words. - started: august 12th, 2020. completed: october 21st, 2020.

Troy Myers has known Steven Moran since they were kids in elementary school. However, the two part ways when they graduate, and she doesn't see him again until college. During one senior class, they bond and become fast friends, but Steven is popular, fine and perfect. He's too preoccupied with building a great career after college, other relationships and family. Troy is an outcast, just trying to figure out how to navigate life with a broken family home and an unromantic life. Careers and family don't mean anything to her. Despite their differences, they are drawn to one another and quickly become each other's support system when the going gets tough. As their friendship deepens over the years, the two realize that they have developed feelings for one another, but is love worth crossing the boundary of friendship?

A merman living in a half-sunken Venice must decide between revealing himself to the oppressive humans to pursue the man he wants or repressing his desires to save everyone that matters to him, except himself, in The Sunken City. There isn't even a word for what Caydo is. At seventeen, he only knows that he is different. If Caydo manages to restore the magic that allowed his kind to breathe underwater, they could live free of the humans, but he would be trapped with the merpeople, who will never accept his sexuality. Attracted to a devious human from the surface, Caydo must navigate a new world of card games and vices, which could bring more trouble, instead of the romance and the refuge he craves. At fifteen, Caydo's younger sister, Sarzana, must choose either to stay a mermaid or to become a human, as it is illegal to bend after she turns sixteen. Unbeknownst to her family and friends, she has already chosen a human life designing buildings, which goes against the merpeople's goddess. The surface might not be welcoming to a mermaid, but the humans have the answer to what happened to her father in the attacks ten years ago. Told from multiple perspectives, the world of the merpeople and the ruins of Venice come to life in this engaging story of fearlessness and hope in the face of adversity. NEW CHAPTERS RELEASING EACH FRIDAY! THE COMPLETE BOOK WILL BE AVAILABLE ON NOVEMBER 19TH, 2021! Don't forget! You're magical! Mature Rating due to violence and sexual content.

Sanders Rush has a routine. His routine every morning before breakfast has been the same for two, going on three years: pray, take a shower, jog around the block, drop by the convenience store to buy almond milk, wake up Becks, and tell her he loves her. Sanders has a routine. But when Maxon Finlay, Becks's first and unrequited love for four years and counting, apparently, walks in with his swagger and ruins it, Sanders can't help but resent the guy. Sanders is suddenly fighting someone else for Becks's attention. He's never had to before. And he might be on the losing team, but his moms didn't raise a quitter.

| Currently Rewriting//Sporadic Updates | As far as she knows, Cassidy Matthews has been held back her entire life. First, by external elements, and now, she's trapped within the broken walls of her very own self. Still, seemingly emotionally detached Brian Willis could just be the one who dares to untangle all her complex strings. And it's quite ironic, because the man he is might not have learned the art of letting go either. cover by @qixing
