Blaise has mastered the art of keeping people at a distance. At twenty-three, her life is simple or at least that's how she likes it. She works at a local skate shop, spends her free time getting high, losing herself in video games, and finds more comfort in her pet snake than she does in most people. Beneath the laid back nerdy exterior is a girl carrying wounds she refuses to let anyone touch. Ever since eleventh grade nothing had been the same for Blaise. Keese already has two girlfriends, a relationship he's convinced himself and others is everything he could ever want. Lately, something feels missing. After crossing paths with Blaise, he becomes intrigued by the girl who seems completely uninterested in being figured out. The more he learns about her, the more convinced he becomes that she could be the missing piece in his life. There's just one problem: Blaise wants no part of sharing a man. What starts as Keese trying to pull Blaise into a life she never asked for quickly becomes something neither of them expected. Blaise challenges everything he thought he wanted, while Keese slowly discovers that the girl he thought he could fit into his world might be the one forcing him to question it. Sometimes the person who wants nothing to do with you is the person who changes everything. STARTED ; JULY 5th, 2026 PUBLISHED ; AUGUST 11th, 2026

" I don't even like you like that." Her face scrunched up in disgust watching water drip from curls in his hair. " 'Cause you love me. Just like I love you." He retorted with a grin, disregarding the deflecting she was doing. --- They were two sides of the same city-until one move split them down the middle. Elijah and London were inseparable once, bonded by childhood summers, beat-up bikes, and secrets too deep for anyone else to know. Unfortunately, when Elijah's mom packed up and moved her family across Onyx to a rival neighborhood, everything changed. She always thought when she spoke to him again he would've changed like her. She was witty, sarcastic, and had a low tolerance, but he was still the same calm , sweet, cute boy with a heart the size of the sun. Some things haven't changed. Some things never change. The pull between them, the memories that still burn etched marks in their brain, and the words they never said out loud. In a world where loyalty can be life or death, and love isn't always enough to cross old lines, Elijah and London find themselves circling each other again. --- STARTED; MAY 26th, 2025 PUBLISHED JUNE 6th, 2025 FINISHED; SEPTEMBER 27th 2025

"See, this is exactly why I wish we never met. You came into my life and you just keep shaking everything up!" She stressed, her stomach rumbling with rage. He only stared before his lips twitched into a smirk. "You don't even believe that dumb ass shit." --- She thought running would set her free, but freedom came with a price she wasn't sure she was ready to uphold. She ran from one trap straight into another. Dreams of dancing slip through her fingers when survival forces her into a world she would have to endure. She's dragged into the dark corners of Onyx city and life is nothing as she knew it. Then he appears. A boy who feels different, who makes her believe she might have more to live for than pain. Unfortunately, in the streets nothing is ever as it seems. Every bond comes with secrets, every touch with consequences. And when betrayal cuts deeper than love, she'll learn the hard way what it really means to be slimed out. STARTED; September 18th 2025 PUBLISHED; September 27th 2025 FINISHED; FEBRUARY 7th 2026
