(WILL UPDATE WHEN I CAN)

Kim Thomas has an eye for capturing the emotions that are unknown even to the beholder. Nothing brings her joy than capturing raw emotions, and powerful stories. 

Her images are windows to the world. All she knows is her sheltered life in Old Town. But her avid curiosity pushes her to explore past the comfort she knows.

In preparation for college, she wants to take matters in her own hands, even if it means leaping in the unfamiliar. Leaving a place she's known all her life, but it might not be as easy as she thought.

Then she meets Jacqueline Holliday; fresh-face from New York City. No one has more experience with the unfamiliar than her.  A girl whose rocky experience with life puts her on the other side from Kim. With so much pain, she's forced her to keep herself under lock and key. She's unlike anybody Kim's ever met in Old Town.

No grand meeting.  Just two people, finding themselves at the right place. A story where one girl learns to welcome the fear of her future, and the other learns to let go of something she thought was worth holding on to.

The Way She Sees Me (gxg) by vallovesonyx
7 parts Ongoing
Noa never forgot Eli-the best friend she secretly loved in high school before she had to leave without warning. A decade later, Noa has become a renowned photographer, known for capturing people in ways they've never seen themselves. Eli, now one of the world's top models, is untouchable-effortlessly beautiful, endlessly photographed, and always just out of reach. When Noa is unexpectedly assigned to shoot Eli for a major campaign, she braces herself for the inevitable collision of past and present. But when Eli greets her with the same easy charm she had all those years ago-without the slightest hint of recognition-Noa makes a choice. She doesn't remind her. What starts as a professional partnership turns into something more complicated. As they travel from city to city, working in foreign studios and sunlit sets, Noa watches Eli through her lens, searching for traces of the girl she used to know. The way she tilts her head, the way she laughs, the way she bites her lip when she's thinking-it's all still there. And yet, Eli remains distant, unknowingly standing on the other side of a story she doesn't remember. Noa tells herself it's enough to be near her again, to exist in Eli's world, even if she can never say what she really feels. But emotions are harder to edit out than a photograph, and the more time they spend together, the more Eli begins to notice the way Noa looks at her. Somewhere between the shutter clicks and stolen moments, Eli remembers and starts to wonder: has Noa always seen her this way?

The Girl with no Emotions (GirlxGirl)

35 parts Complete

I was only 7 when I met her, but we had an instant connection. We were inseperable. She was always happy and joyful around me, but me on the other hand, I was a completely different story. I suffered a disorder that caused me to have no emotions. I told her my condition and she understood, but one day she dissapeared, I didn't feel sad, worried or angry like I should have. I just continued my day like any other day, but by myself. I continued to have no friends as I got older and talked to no one, but it didn't bother me. I soon became the "weirdo" as most people would say. I became known as the girl with no emotions.
