I'm Lea Devlin. I had been kind of a nanny for a long time. Something has changed my life technically in a split second. Someone has changed my life. You might think it's my story, but it's not really. This is HER story, from my perspective. Her story needs to be heard. I knew it immediately when I met her. Broken and rough at the edges but she's so beautiful in the inside despite all the pain she has been put through, despite her young age. This is the story of a very special and very lonely girl. We met just in time: by that time we had both given up.

What She Left Behind ✔️
"I'm assuming that little speech was meant for me?" "It was meant for everyone." "But mostly me. Is it because I called her selfish earlier? Are you still hung up on that?" "I'm not hung up on anything, Gemma." "Then why would you go up there and say that?" I demand, my voice rising above a whisper. "Of all days, why would you choose today to publicly humiliate me?" "Today isn't about you, Gemma," Bowie says, catching me by surprise.

Night Shifts | Billie Eilish AU
"Your favourite patients back," Billie O'Connell's home isn't a sanctuary - it's a war zone. With parents who scream more than they speak and a house that feels colder than the streets, Billie would do anything to escape. And she does - through a loophole that lands her in the hospital night after night, just for a few hours of peace and quiet. But loopholes don't stay hidden forever. Harley works on the paediatric mental health unit. She's seen kids like Billie before - but none of them have gotten under her skin quite like this. Billie is sharp, guarded, and heartbreakingly young. And when Harley breaks protocol to give her a lifeline - a phone number scribbled on a napkin - their connection deepens into something neither of them expected. As nights turn into weekends and hospital visits turn into sleepovers, Billie finds herself wanting things she never thought she'd have: a warm bath. A soft voice. A home. A hand to hold when the world gets too loud. And maybe... love. But love isn't simple - not when it's built from trauma and quiet, stolen moments. And Billie's world isn't done breaking yet. A tender, aching story of survival, found family, and the kind of love that heals from the inside out. Achieved: #1 in mentalhealthmattersComplete
The Weight She Carries
Margot Vale carries grief the same way she carries everything else.... silently and alone. To the outside world, Margot is a cold, relentless executive. No one knows that behind closed doors, she is still mourning the infant daughter she lost years ago, clinging to a private ritual that keeps her connected to the motherhood she never got to have. Then Elise becomes her assistant. Young, gentle, and far more observant than Margot would like, Elise slowly notices the cracks beneath her boss's carefully controlled exterior. And when Margot finally breaks, Elise doesn't run. She stays. What begins as quiet care becomes trust, vulnerability, and an unexpected bond between two women who were never supposed to need each other. Sometimes the heaviest thing we carry is the love we never got to give. GxG • Age Gap • MDLG • Grief & Healing • Short StoryComplete

Volcano Meets Tonardo (gxg)
We are told that if it's not perfect it's not enough. We are called insane for breaking every rule. We are told that we should change and only then we'll be happy. We are convinced that there is no going back and hell is our final destination. They have a blueprint of how our lives will end and never a solution to better the plan. I say there is a way out every mess, an alley to heaven. I didn't have to be perfect, I just had to accept defeat and let her lead. She thought I was perfect when everybody else didn't. I fell in love with a soul like mine. My Tonardo... ______________________________________ This is not some holy holy book, It's not rated PG nor Family friendly.

Sanctuary
She wasn't supposed to matter. Not like this. Not enough to make me break my own rules. But the way she looked at me- Like I was the only safe thing in a world that never gave her one- Changed everything. This isn't a love story. It's survival. And maybe... It's something more. I wasn't looking to be saved. People like me don't get rescued. We survive. Quietly. Carefully. Alone. But then she looked at me like I wasn't broken- Like I was worth staying for. She doesn't know what I've done to make it this far. She doesn't know what I am. And if she ever finds out... Will she still stay?Complete
The Miserably Macabre Tales of Luna Samuels
A -sometimes- uplifting story about growing up and overcoming life's challenges. Laugh, cry and smile with our cynical author as she tries to traverse what comes after high school while battling her inner demons, her sexuality and conquering the ever-terrifying world of adulting. "My name is Faith Elizabeth Samuels. Well, it used to be, before I left my fundamentalist helicopter parents and started going by Luna... My counselor tells me writing will help me to 'heal'. Somehow, writing my feelings of depression, anxiety, self harm and suicidal thoughts will negate a lifetime of 'bad feelings' about my self image, mental health and general well-being. Sounds legit. So, fair reader, does my little tale of woe intrigue you? If so, come join my merry band of misfits on this roller coaster of life." *There are no perfect people in this story; no villains, no perfect protagonists and no fairytale romance. There is, however, realistic examples of neurodivergence, discovering yourself, LGBTQIA characters and nuanced depictions of mental health problems, self harm, religious and generational trauma.* Rated Mature (17+) For themes of self-harm, depression, anxiety and some sexuality.Complete
