CATs. Humanoid pets with cat ears, tails, and all the benefits one could want from both a companion and a slave, they've been an incredibly popular pet choice for nearly 80 years, even outlasting the horrible controversy surrounding their ownership and creation.
Eric, a lonely 20-year-old college student from out of town, largely grew up without thinking much of them when he comes across a feral being dragged to a terrible fate and runs to save him on instinct. Now living with Saul, an ornery, but loyal and beautiful CAT dragged from his home, they must learn to lean on each other to navigate an unkind world, trust one another, and just maybe find love and family in the most unexpected of places.
Cozy, slow-burn romance. Like a warm, cinnamony cup of hot cocoa on a cool, rainy day.

Loving Zach (MxM)
Sometimes you need just one person to make all the difference in the world. And even better if you get a whole family of them. Zach's been living in his car for a month now. He has nowhere to go, no job and his money is starting to run out. Life has been rough on him, growing up in an abusive home and later in life becoming the center of a vile man's attention. Just as he thinks his life is never getting better, he meets the charming business owner Dean. Zach is a broken boy and has nothing to offer to a successful businessman who's so handsome he could be on a magazine cover. But life has a way of putting the right person in your path even if you didn't know you were on the one. This is a finished, full length (80k words), slow burn romance about learning to trust, falling in love and healing after life has beaten you down. !Trigger warning: This story deals with child neglect, child abuse, domestic violence and rape.

Behind Those Eyes (boyxboy)
I sat behind him on his motorcycle. At that moment, all I wanted was to hold him in my arms and absorb every bit of his pain. He acted as if nothing had happened and drove in silence. I slowly started moving my hands towards his body, and suddenly, my control snapped and the pent-up feelings burst free. I gripped his back, my face burried into his shoulder as the sobs tore loose from my chest. He froze for a second, then gently tapped on my fingers wrapped around his waist, and went back to driving without saying a word. Author's note: Hey! This is the first part of a three-part series. This is going to be a slowburn love story, so buckle up. AND DISCLAIMER REMEMBER THERE IS OTHER PARTS TO THIS 🫣 ... Thank you for reading 🌸🥺 ~ I don't own the pictures used in this story ~emi

When I met your eyes//Skephalo
Bad was never, well, fond of his appearance. He could point out a thousand things he hated about himself. His nose is too round, his tooth gap looks dorky, his hair is all greasy, and more. Because of this, he was always reluctant to meet his best friend, skeppy, in real life. He liked skeppy. Bad didn't want him to see all his 'flaws'. But when bad finally caved, and they locked eyes... He discovered something new about himself. Something he (eventually) grew to like. (#1 in Badboyhalo on March 29, 2023😭❤️)Complete
