Asianamerican Stories

Dallas does not forget anything. It watches from neon-lit bar corners and Highland Park breakfast tables, from Oak Cliff church pews and Carrollton market stalls where two languages blend mid-sentence without apology. Ashley Moore is three months from her Communications degree, bartending her way toward a future her mother has different blueprints for - loyal, incisive, and done shrinking herself to fit rooms that were never built for her. Chloe Blanchard is a Design junior navigating the quiet war between who she is and who her world expects her to be, photographing shadows and hiding her real work behind the version of herself that causes the least disruption. When a Deep Ellum dare becomes the best decision either of them makes all year, the city takes note. What follows is not a fairytale. It is family reckoning, legal confrontation, identity excavation, and two women learning to choose each other loudly inside a world that would prefer they stay quiet. The burn is slow. The love is earned. Nothing important comes without cost. drama © Relle H. all rights reserved.

~An anthology written for Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month '23, '24, and '25~ It's no surprise that my stories are all written from the heart. I've been thinking, though - home is where the heart lives. Maybe I should write about my home this time around. These stories, accompanied with notes about identity and diversity, intertwine into a possibility of how culture shapes who we are today. Embark on adventures or relish in the little moments in life, filled with Chinese history, culture, mythology, and more - tidbits from where I live and where my heart lies. Each story will acclaim and pay tribute to where I am and what made me, me. After all, there's no shame in loving who you are. ------------------ Accolades: 🏅featured on @IdentityandCulture's 2026 AAPI Heritage Month / API Month Reading List 🥇1st in the Glorious Awards 🥇1st in the Dazzle Awards: Random Category 🥇1st in the Brumous Collab Awards 2024: Best Opening Line 🥈2nd in the Categories Mini Awards: Best Opening Chapter 🥉3rd in the Valentine Awards: Diversity Genre

a collection of poems about love, loss, and belonging

I wrote this for my father. Fiction.

Everything in my life has been shit, until you. A gay-ass love story about two broken women falling in love. Meet Emma, she's calculated and intelligent. Her mother was a drug addict and her father was a drunk, so she was raised by her grandmother. She found out she was pregnant two weeks before her college graduation and now runs a Chinese restaurant. Meet Mae, a burnt-out rockstar who is trying so hard to get back into the music industry. Too bad she cares more about weed and alcohol to write some songs. Authors Note: This story is told from Emma's point of view and she says some things about addiction that I in no way agree with. I just want to make it clear! there will also be mentions of addiction, sexual assault, grooming, drugs, and other things like that. also I plan on adding a cover later.
