Indigo Gallagher was born with osteochondroma, a condition that leaves her physically fragile. Between shifts at her granʼs flower shop and her tumultuous relationship, all she wants is to get through her second year of pre-med unscathed. 

Although irresistibly charming, Jem Valentine has a hardened exterior and a stormy disposition. With little faith in most things, heʼs seen far too much of the world to remain tender or soft. 

But for her, he will be.

A jilted, curvy accountant joins a gym on a journey of self-love. The last thing she plans for is to fall for her grumpy trainer. ***** Who needs men, anyway? Certainly not Joanna Lozano. The youngest of five and the only girl, she has learned at a young age the importance of survival in a man's world. It's what drives her to be a successful accountant in the corporate world of Chicago. When her boyfriend of six years unceremoniously dumps her--though her pride is wounded--she accepts the rejection as an opportunity to rediscover herself, starting with a reluctant agreement to join an eight-week fitness boot camp. Sage Kingston is a straightforward gym owner who appreciates and lives by the monotony of his life. His only goals are to provide and care for his young son after his divorce left him jaded. He doesn't have the time or patience to play games that come with dating or relationships. Who needs that headache, anyway? Yet, with a new season of boot camp at his gym underway, he's instantly attracted to the curvy and feisty participant, Joanna. However, his work is cut out for him since she's not easily charmed or swayed by his bulging biceps or six-pack abs. But even Joanna can't deny the mounting tension after each draining and sweaty training session. As they grow to know each other, so does their affection and both must deal with overcoming their hurt pasts and decide if unexpected love is worth the risk. ©2022 LJ Rae

*MAJOR EDITS IN PROGRESS* Evie Stanton dreamed of playing the bass for a living before a fateful winter night hurled her into adulthood at the age of eighteen. Three years later, the former wild child hasn't let her past define her and does her best with what she's learned from it - be there for others as much as possible. Harry Moran had it all - a beautiful girlfriend, good looks, popularity. What no one could see behind his charm and sense of humor was a middle child who kept all of his problems to himself, even after receiving a heartbreaking diagnosis, so as not to be a burden to anyone around him. And then, the two meet. Art meets sports, heavy metal meets alternative rock, but more than anything, stubborn meets stubborn. Big-city girl with a savior complex meets small-town boy who simply refuses to be taken care of. Unstoppable force from Manhattan meets immovable object that has come to get on her nerves all the way from Colorado, and what better way to deal with it than to make her life all about saving his? // TW: serious illness, strong language, alcohol, mentions of substance abuse, mentions of physical abuse, sexual content

Where Silence Lingers by acanthaa21
42 parts Ongoing
"If things were different..." Jeff's voice trails off. Ivy finishes it for him: "We would've been something, right?" He fell for her when she was still learning how to let people close. She fell for him when he'd already learned how to stay safe behind silence. They walk the same campus, smile the same polite smiles, and avoid the same memories they both keep replaying at night. Jeff doesn't blame her for falling late - he thinks she deserves a love without hesitation. Ivy keeps drifting toward him anyway - a little too curious, a little too attached to the version of him she once imagined. Some stories don't arrive loudly. Some slip in quietly, in the hesitation before a confession, in the space between two hearts that almost touched. A tender, aching slow-burn about timing, courage, and the love that waits in the quiet.
What We Make Room For | Regression Story by 94LittleDove94
25 parts Ongoing Mature
What We Make Room For is a quiet, luminous tale about healing, chosen family, and the courage it takes to be known. On a coastal campus where faculty live just steps from their students, Ezra Reyes teaches art with a gentle hand and paint-streaked fingers. His partner, Dr. Liam Reyes, a grounded and steady professor of social work, is a quiet force of calm in a chaotic world. Together, their home is a haven filled with books, warmth, plants, and an unspoken capacity for care. Then there's Cara Rowan. Twenty years old, intelligent, guarded, and unraveling. Studying pre-med and hiding more than just her exhaustion, Cara is barely keeping it together. She's been taking black-market pills to suppress the signs of her true classification as a "little," a label she's terrified to claim but one that explains everything she's spent years trying to erase. The pills help her appear strong. But they also steal her joy, wreck her body, and bury the very parts of her that once made her feel whole. When Ezra finds her sketching behind the art building-anxious, sharp-tongued, and too tired to pretend-he sees something she doesn't. Over time, and with Liam's quiet guidance, the three begin to form an unexpected bond. A slow, tentative trust grows between them, anchored not in obligation but in deep, resonant care. As Cara is drawn into their world of shared breakfasts, long beach walks, and a love that asks for nothing but honesty, she begins to question the life she thought she had to live. But healing isn't easy, and to move forward, she must face the shadows of her past and the truth of who she is. This is a story about soft rebellion. About becoming. About finding home, not just in a place, but in people who stay.
