synesthesia 
[sin-uh s-thee-zhuh, -zhee-uh, -zee-uh]: a sensation produced in one modality when a stimulus is applied to another modality, as when the hearing of a certain sound induces the visualization of a certain color.

Elijah Westbrook, better known as Eli, is struggling through PTSD from suffering through a school shooting only months before, and is living a visually impaired life. His mind correlates everything with color. He befriends a boy at his new, danger free school named Evan Heart, who makes Eli's mind flutter with beautiful blues. Will it develop into something more, or will Evan's pain and worries hold him back? 

WARNINGS: Mentions of school shootings, anxiety, derealization, and PTSD. Please read with caution if any of these topics upset you.

The Deconstruction of Eliz by Rossy1eliz
22 parts Complete Mature
When you see someone act outside of what you consider normal, do you judge or help them? How does a grown-up who grew up in a world not conditioned for her behave? How does bullying affect adulthood? This story is for introverts. If your life is rosy and optimistic, you should leave; you won't be able to handle it. Eliz struggles with anxiety and feels disconnected from others. Consequently, she imagines a fantasy world that parallels her own, where she has everything she cannot attain in real life. Her lack of experience is leaving her with doubts about neurodiversity, depression, her sexuality, and the loneliness that comes from her introversion. She struggles to find the strength to face a world where people do not see her as human and project their insecurities onto her, clinging to her "antidotes" as she calls them: a furbaby named Sky, music, chocolate, and Netflix. Without a support system around her, she uses all the stories she sees on the screens as a compass in her life and hopes to get the same result. Because if it works on TV, why not for her? She expresses what she can't convey through words in her mind by using analogies of TV characters or songs. Eliz ponders whether there's a place for her, viewing life through the lens of a mother who had to raise her alone and a sister who resembles a model from a magazine. A friend who is more of a friend when both are doing badly and a job she got because of dropping out of college. Add being monosyllabic, withdrawn, and a boss she doesn't know how to talk to because she "thinks" she's interested in him, but what does she do with that? Come in and look at the mess in her head, hidden behind a desk answering phones. Eliz is repetitive and full of insecurities. She is afraid of her shadow, kind of crazy, but with a good heart. © Registered in SAFE CREATIVE 2304104018014©All rights reserved.
Invisible String Of Love  by Autumn_Girl_Writes
11 parts Ongoing Mature
In the dimly lit waiting room of the therapist's office, a young woman sits with tense shoulders and determined eyes. She's just come out of her session-relieved, but still tangled in a quiet storm. She's a survivor of a traumatic kidnapping, and it shows-not in scars, but in the way she carries herself. Small in stature, yes, but you can feel the simmering anger beneath her skin, forged by everything she's been through and everything no one helped her fix. Across the room, another person waits. Quieter. Equally haunted. She fidgets, eyes darting, unable to stay still for long. There's history in her posture-years of growing up around violence, chaos, and never feeling safe. Her ADHD doesn't help; her mind's a pinball machine of thoughts, never landing, always spinning. When the first woman rises to leave, their eyes meet. Just for a second. Long enough to say everything words can't. "He's not really helping us, is he?" she murmurs under her breath. The other just nods. Silent. Knowing. Maybe they weren't supposed to meet again. But fate-messy, unpredictable fate-had other plans. Another day. Another place. Same ache in their bones. Something soft begins to grow between them. Tentative. Delicate. Real. They don't pretend it'll be easy, but in each other, they spot the flicker of something rare: hope. The kind that dares to whisper of healing, of peace, maybe even of love. "Even if we've only known each other a few months, it feels like I could tell you anything. Everything. From my darkest secrets to the dumbest memes. From late-night thoughts to chaotic brain farts. I don't know-It just feels right." -Clementine Sousa

A Touch Too Much (MxM)

11 parts Ongoing Mature

Some obsessions are quiet. Some are careful. And some slip beneath your skin before you ever realize you're trapped. Aiden never expected to catch the attention of Professor Mercer. At first, it feels harmless-just an admiration, a connection that seems almost inevitable. Elias Mercer is everything Aiden isn't: confident, composed, intoxicatingly sure of himself. And when Mercer takes an interest in him, offering guidance, attention, and understanding, Aiden can't help but be drawn in. What begins as subtle glances and lingering conversations soon turns into something deeper, something Aiden doesn't quite understand but doesn't want to question. Mercer is patient, deliberate, and utterly devoted-always knowing exactly what Aiden needs, what he wants before he even asks. But love shouldn't feel like this. It shouldn't feel like invisible chains tightening around him, like his world is slowly shrinking to the shape of one man. By the time Aiden realizes that Mercer's love isn't love at all, it might already be too late to escape. --- Hi there! This is the first time I ever publish a story. I hope I'm doing everything right ◡̈ Enjoy!
