"There are dreamers and there are realists in this world. You'd think the dreamers would find the dreamers, and the realists would find the realists, but more often than not, the opposite is true. 
See, the dreamers need the realists to keep them from soaring too close to the sun. 
And the realists? 
Well, without the dreamers, they might not ever get off the ground."

Riley Matthews is a dreamer through and through. 
Love is the single most precious thing the universe has to offer, so it comes to no surprise she falls in love with someone every other day. Riley falls in love with a face, listens to love songs from the 80s (undoubtedly the greatest era of love songs, but Riley appreciates love songs from any era), writes love letters to those faces she's fallen in love with, and, predictably, falls out of love and repeats the process once again. It is an endless cycle Riley does not mind falling into until Maya Hart, a realist through and through, brings her down from cloud nine. 
What else can be expected except for heart and mind to clash. Yet, a strange bond begins to form between the two. A bond and journey neither girl expected to discover. 

The cover of this story was made by the wonderful SLOTHTATO, she's made nearly all of my covers and never disappoints. I adore her with all my heart and thank her for always being there and doing my covers. A true icon.

Girl Meets the Mind of a Genius by EchoingEllipses
45 parts Complete Mature
Have you ever wondered what it was like to be a genius? Farkle Minkus is a full functioning genius. He has everything he's ever wanted from best friends to outstanding grades to an equally intellectual girlfriend. But his latest experiment has been four years in the making: understanding feelings. This story focuses on the Girl Meets World characters and its clearly superior ship, Riarkle. Most GMW stories rotate between characters, but this one will be completely from the perspective of Farkle. The story takes place during their senior year of high school. Yes, I use scenes and situations from the show, but they're meant to establish the plot. Just don't think about it. :) Now let's understand the mind (and feelings) of a genius. I don't own the characters and some dialogue. - Previews: I stare down, "How did you get used to it?" "Used to what?" Maya walks over to me. "Seeing Lucas cuddling up with her and holding her hand. How did you get over that it wasn't you?" Maya sighs, "It came with time I guess. I don't think I ever really loved Lucas though. That's not the same for you. You love Riley." I turn to face her, "How could I not?" - Riley sighs, "Things were so much more simple back then. We didn't look at each other like boys and girls. We were all just friends." "But I still loved you, even though I didn't know what love meant." I can't believe I just said that. Riley turns and looks right into my eyes. I can't read her. Usually I can. "Do you now?" "I don't know." - "But you slept with Riley?" Lucas asks loudly. The entire room goes silent and looks at us. I'm going to pass out. "No!" I hold my hands up, "Well, actually I guess but, no, wait, not the way you think. I just stayed the night." Awful save. "You're trying to make a move on my girlfriend." Lucas points at me threateningly. I back away, "No, I-"
