(INCOMPLETE) Of Ink And Flowers - A LGBTQIA+ Love Story
Lufi Muhamad, an insomniac college dropout with mild anxiety, opens up a Tattoo Parlor right across the street from a small Flower Shop. The day after opening, he finds a bouquet on the doorstep of his parlor. He looks across the street and sees a blue-eyed boy with dirty blonde hair opening the flower shop, and something within him stirs. Deimos Alexander, a hyper ADHD 20-year-old, was shocked when he realized that a new business had opened up across the street. He looked in the window and saw (In his best friend's words) an "Emo in the wild" tattooing someone. He makes a bouquet for him and places it on his porch step. He almost dropped his coffee the following day when he saw an oil pastel drawing on his welcome mat from the tattoo artist. Trigger Warning: While this book is a majority fluff there are a few angsty bits that face some grim topics including child abuse, dangerous parents, alcohol abuse, homophobia, transphobia, and harassment. This story includes quite a bit of swearing as well (blame my trucker dad for that) so viewer discretion is advised. No Smut whatsoever in this book. (I love y'all but I'm not putting my ace ass through that torture) If you have an idea for a cute date between characters, a friend group excursion, etc. please comment. I will either try to incorporate it in the story itself or make a oneshot book. NOTE: There is no specific schedule. While I will try and update once a week I am still in school and I'm both a part of the theater program and dance team so updates might be inconsistant.Complete

Connection
In the heart of Sector 24, amidst classified missions and buried memories, something long dormant begins to stir. Connection follows Luka and Billy, two enhanced operatives bound by forgotten history and fractured time as they navigate the dangerous ground between duty and desire. Though neither fully remembers the past they once shared, the pull between them grows impossible to ignore. Amid grueling training, covert operations, and the weight of who they've become, they find themselves drawn together by something deeper than memory: instinct, trust, and a bond that refuses to die. As they cautiously explore what it means to care in a world that taught them not to, Connection is a story of rediscovery, of hearts trying to heal in the shadows of war, and the quiet power of choosing love even when everything is built to keep you apart.

A young man leaves home for the first time, in order to receive an elite tutelage from a storied instructor in a majestic castle. However, the lessons that he learns are not the ones he expects... (The first draft of this was started in AI Dungeon and finished with NovelAI's text adventure interface, as AI Dungeon has been having 'issues' since the beginning of the year, prompting me to switch over. I obviously polished and punched it up before publishing it here. I didn't change any of the plot, insert new characters, or anything major like that, though. The text following the chevrons are the commands I entered in myself.)Complete
