Coffee And Happy Endings (A Johnnyboy AU)
This Is just a little story about a cafe, picnics and love. It's also about Johnnyboy (Johnny and Ponyboy from The Outsiders) and I know Johnny dies in their world, but that's why this is an AU, where Johnny still lives and Ponyboy works at a hipster cafe and they're all about 6 years older. It's also not set in the 70/80s because I wasn't alive then and I'm too lazy to research those things. So, we have this. Set in the 2010s with mobile phones and latte art. I hope you enjoy my story because I'm super excited to write it. And remember, Johnnyboy is forever and we all love them. I don't own these characters or the picture.

Finding Life Again
Raised by cold parents who never offered him a glimpse of affection, Kai dedicated his life to earning the love he never received at home. Successful in his studies and devoted to his passions, he found a romance that ultimately shattered him, coupled with the harsh realization that he had failed and that his parents would never acknowledge him. A year after his graduation, Kai felt lost and unsure of how to chart his path forward. Clinging to the one person who had never left his side, he resolved to confront the traumas that haunted him. He never anticipated that the person who would help him the most would be someone he had met right at the beginning of his journey. SMALL EXCLAIMER/ The story doesn't visually describe sexual scenes. There are just a few makeout scenes. The first few chapters are describing a person who is slightly depressed and some light anxiety behaviour situations. It is not a heavy book. The characters are not abusive. The relationships are healthy, and I hope my book is as positive and easy to read as I wanted it to be. However, for some people can be triggering as there are mentions of anxiety and social awkwardness.Complete
