AURELIA ALVAREZ has been best friends with Eddie Diaz since birth. With their mothers being close, Lia and Eddie grew up knowing just about everything about the other, but there was always one thing Eddie didn't know about Lia, and that was that, since the age of fourteen, she's been hopelessly in love with him. But he, at the same age, met another, and years later, when reunited, Lia watched from the sidelines as her best friend married a woman she cares for, but also a woman she's envious of. Even when he became a father at nineteen, Lia's feelings never changed, but she always remained at his side, always remaining his "best friend". She was there when his wife left, when his son was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, when he was in the army, when he struggled to make ends meet, and was even there when he makes a decision to move to Los Angeles. Taking a job at LA County Hospital as a nurse, supporting her best friend in his decision and journey to move, she consequently puts herself in a far worse position, her feelings only growing stronger the more time she spends with him, the more time she takes care of his son, and the more time she gets lost in this idea of hope. After all, he'd never, ever feel the same about her, not when his heart belongs to somebody else. ( eddie diaz x fem!o.c ) ( best friends to lovers ) ( 9-1-1 seasons 2 - ? ) © 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐛𝐲𝐬𝐨𝐩𝐡 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓

"𝑰'𝒎 𝒔𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝑮𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒓 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒇𝒂𝒓" I can say that I've been Miss Sweet Misery for the last time, except this was just the start back when California dreamin' was our scheme during a hectic global pandemic. Love stories are overrated, and yes, this is one of them. A really strange one, actually. But it's also so much more than just a love story. It's a story of eight star-crossed teens brought together by the cities of Glendale and Los Angeles when we probably should've been staying at home... but the friendship was so strong, how could we possibly not see each other every week? There were crazy adventures and there were crazy confessions, and yes, there was also heartbreak. It's all part of a cliche coming of age and this was ours. - yours truly, Emma Suarez INSPIRED BY: minor + IMYIS by Gracie Abrams and Love Story by Taylor Swift.

"You're blowing this out of proportion," I say, even though my voice doesn't sound convinced. "I'm not," he says. "I'm accounting for worst case scenarios because that's my job.

Marco Polo believes in science and family, but California is more magical than he ever imagined-its secrets are waiting in the desert. ***** This is a low fantasy serial about thirteen-year-old Marco who wants to follow in the footsteps of his parents and become a wildlife biologist. Even though he is a rigid introvert/scientist type he is thrust into situations that are the opposite of that and he has to deal with it. It's a slowburn on many fronts. Please enjoy.

He leaned in, his voice a low, rough rumble that vibrated against the delicate shell of her ear. "If you are the Sin, then I am the Sinner who craves absolution. You are the Goddess, and I am the Worshipper kneeling at your altar. You are the Lie, and I am the Liar who will protect your secrets." His hands slid from her waist, the heat of his palms pressing through the thin fabric of her nightgown, tracing the sharp, undeniable curve of her hip. "You are the woman I will be sharing my life, my money, my fame, my everything," his voice dropped to a sibilant, invasive whisper that left her skin cold. "... and my bed." He pulled her flush against his chest, the finality of the move stealing her breath. His voice turned instantly, dropping into a gravelly, obsidian low that promised absolute control. "You shall have the best husband the world will envy you for. And," his grip tightened, a bruising promise against her bone, "try to run away, and you will witness how a predator traps their prey and feasts until there's nothing left but bone." He brought his face close enough that his breath mingled with hers, the final, chilling promise delivered with absolute certainty. "In the dance on the chessboard, you will be the King, I will be the Pawn."
