A collection of short stories in which the root of their love is simultaneously the harbinger of their demise. Because the risque of the heart's desires is often found embedded in the knife jutting through it. "...you're writing style is top-notch, especially on how you describe and highlight every detail..." - @_mnmlst "THIS WAS JUST BEAUTIFUL! The third book just was amazing without words needed" - @IreneCallista07 "Overall, you did a spectacular work right there! Now, excuse me for a moment-there's something on my eye..." -@vyrdanne

Jack Robinson is a little more than world-crushingly-in-love with Nolan Skinner, who is well-known for being both stoic as well as intense. He knows Nolan feels the same way - but, is it enough to guarantee them working out? Jack wants a lot of things. None of them as badly as Nolan. - An entry for @lgbtq 's Song Fiction Challenge; based on "Lemon Boy" by the artist Cavetown.

[Watty Awards 2019 Winner - New Adult!] Damian Ryker is something of a nomad. In his 22 years of life he's moved a grand total of 14 times. But he's here to stay this time, honest. He's already got himself a cushy new job in town and he's exploring the popular local shops, like that coffee shop down the road. It seems nice enough, perhaps a little too hipster for his taste and the barista is awkward, if not the slightest bit weird. But there's something strange about the innocuous café, like-oh I don't know-earthquakes that seem to destroy it every morning before miraculously repairing themselves and leaving him with the only memory of it. And just when that sounded a tad off, things start to get...a little out of this world. ------------ This was my 2017 Nanowrimo story that I couldn't quite fall out of love with. Inspired by the fun and fascinating world of fan fiction AUs, I hope you'll have as much fun with this as I had writing it!

Wesley Chao doesn't believe in love and Wyatt Carter wishes he wasn't always in it, until they both meet at an art exhibition and fall like toy soldiers. - [ Cover © by Harvey Elliot ] [ Copyright © 2020 by Harvey Elliot ]
