The Stars Choose Our Lovers
I was 5 years old when I met Mia. I knew I loved her from the day I met her. We did everything together, and we were inseparable. People judged us. All eyes were on us because she is black and I am white. We didn't mind because we were each other's light during the darkness of their stares. I never understood why it is so easy for people to hate, as opposed to love. Kindness is contagious, and we all should pass it along. I fell in love with Mia. Her flaws were perfect in my eyes, and I knew she would always be my Mia. I love her just as much as the bees love honey. I love her so much to the point her love is the only unconditional love I ever knew. Sad, but dreadfully true, when I look in Mia's eyes, I wonder, does she feel the same way about me. Am I her light? Does she accept my flaws, and are they perfect in her eyes? Am I the sun to her desert? Am I her rainbow after a rainy day? I hope she loves me just as much as I love her. My biggest concern is-after all the years we've been best friends, will our parents accept us? I'm scared. I'm afraid that if I tell Mia how I feel, I will lose everything we have built. I keep asking myself, should I express my feelings, or should I keep them to myself? I deserve to be loved, right? I will never know unless I take a chance. Will I have the courage, or will I let my true love slip away? I've always believed that the stars choose our lovers. I wonder did the stars choose Mia for me?Complete

Always, Love (girlxgirl)
Mia's mom has been moving her around from state to state for years on end. One night, Mia and her mother were kicked out of their home, previously shared with one of her mother's temporary lovers. The two were forced to leave. Mia had no idea what was happening. Her mother seems to be keeping something from her. They fly to England that same night, and Mia's life will forever be changed. Read along as Mia's life shifts, and she falls in love with her protector; a mesmerizing woman named Jamie. Enjoy!! Disclaimer: This story involves a specific power dynamic. The romance between the two women are that of a stone top and pillow princess. (If you don't know what those are, I will leave descriptions of the terms below.) Stone top- a wlw (women loving woman) who prefers to not me touched sexually by their partner or dominated, and instead gets pleasure from dominating or "topping" their partner. Pillow princess- a wlw (women loving woman) who prefers to only receive sexual pleasure from their partner. A pillow princess is typically a bottom and enjoys being "topped". Why I decided on this dynamic: - I feel like this form of power struggle isn't talked about enough, ESPECIALLY pillow princesses. Being a pillow princess does not make you ANY LESS VALID in your sexuality!!! Sometimes people only like to hold one role in the sexual aspect of their relationship, and that's okay!! Mia is still a lesbian, despite her preference in only receiving. Just like how Jamie is still a lesbian, despite her preference in only giving. That's all!! Warnings include: Smut warning ⚠️ Fluff warning Heavy mentions of the mafia Mentions of gore later in the story⚠️ Brief mentions of sexual assault ⚠️ I hope you enjoy this girlxgirl story!! 💕
