"Her flamboyance diffused into my plain existence." ____ Sariya was plain. She had an indifferent take on everything that came her way. Disowned by her parents for her sexuality, she was a boat drifting away, directionless, in the nameless oceans. Miraculously, Sariya had harbored a crush on another woman, years older, who frequented the café she worked at. She was flamboyant. Conversations and feelings are shared. Sariya realizes that she may no longer indulge in sheer futility. ~WomanxWoman~ ---

Ansh simply can't navigate logic between the coiled grooves of his brain. Sometimes he wishes to be a woman and other times, he wishes to transgress boundaries of gender and become a synthesis of all the mistiness he feels inside. Feeling entirely 'man' is the last thing his heart can agree with. Ansh is confused. How does he articulate his feelings to the boy he has come to live with? - - - Features a uranic/mascic and non-binary (bigender) lead with elements of the agender identity, a non-heterosexual cisgender love interest, descricbes typical responses of a person with an avoidant attachment style, all while being Indians and set in India. #Featured on the FreeTheLGBT page under the Diverse Lit reading list. #Featured on Wattpad India's Pride 2021 reading list.

Imani was just supposed to make sure that the lost dog got home safely, come back, and pretend like the mere thought of the owner with doe eyes and an armful of tattoos didn't make her question her entire belief system. Sounds simple enough...right? It isn't. (onc prompt #69 | when music becomes a way to communicate no words could compare)

"I didn't know you had friends like Isaac," Willa said in greeting. "I don't," muttered Jared. Isaac rolled his eyes. "Yeah, you don't. You have //one// friend like Isaac." His voice turned into this stupid mock whisper and he leaned towards Jared conspiratorially. "It's me, by the way."

Damian Ryker wakes up in his room, the one with the chirping alarm and the mirror hanging on the door. All is as it should be, but something isn't sitting right with him. Something that only one other person will be able to understand. -------------- Thanks for all the love and support for "a.u.", everyone! As thanks, here's a short story featuring the main characters that's been ruminating in my writing notebook for months. Literally none of it will make sense if you haven't read the original story, so would recommend checking that out first, especially since this takes place after the fact. Is this canon? That's up to you to decide! For more information, check out the "Updates" chapter at the end of the original story. Enjoy!

[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!
