Finn is second best to his older brother Alex.  The pressure to meet or exceed all of Alex's successes are suffocating Finn both at school and at home where there are constant reminders that he will always fall short in intelligence, looks, athleticism, and social skills. He would rather be invisible than continue to just be 'Alex's brother.' 

Each day is a depressing repeat of the day before, until one day when a blue envelope shows up in his locker. He assumes it was meant for someone else, but then the blue envelopes continue to appear. 

It becomes clear that they are meant for him, but what do they mean and what could the sender possibly want from someone like him?

45 parts Complete Mature
***Updated and re-edited August of 2024*** Lots of "F-bombs", but an incredible love story of the unpredicted. Very Mature. Very intense. 18+ Ryan had just turned fourteen when he discovered his girlfriend Brenda was pregnant. He gave up everything to stay with her and raise the child. Lacey is nineteen and Ryan's now grown-up daughter. Lacey and her lifelong friend Hannah move into an apartment together. Ryan is now thirty-three and finds out Brenda has been cheating on him. Ryan moves in with Lacey and Hannah temporarily. Lacey gets stuck going with her mother and her mother's new boyfriend on Vacation for two weeks. Hannah, Ryan, and their friends have a wildly drunken night. Mistakes happen and open a wild world of confusion and seduction between Hannah and Ryan. The problem? If Lacey finds out, lives will be destroyed, so they fight to stay away from each other, yet the universe keeps bringing them back together. Neither Ryan nor Hannah had ever felt an attraction to each other in the past, but now? Now the heat is turned up and feelings are at an unpredicted strength between these two. Ryan had recently turned thirty-three. Hannah is days away from twenty. Neither one of them find that to be an issue. Why would it when he's your best friend's dad? A relationship is impossible when you'd lose everything if you tried. But the two of them feel something they have never felt before when they end up in each other's beds. The heat is there. The dirty secrets are there. How do you hold a secret so huge from the people you care about most?

19 parts Complete

Ana has spent her entire life fighting for herself. After a series of tough decisions, she ends up working for a security agency where, for the most part, she's free to be herself. It's not until she's tasked with saving a little girl that she realizes what that means. Jake grew up with an average screwed up family. He has no idea where his father is, his mother is a token drunk, and he's barely surviving high school while taking care of his sister. She doesn't take charity and he really doesn't have much to give. They're both stubborn. They both have nothing to lose. So then why are they so scared?
