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
