Elissa Hsu, rising SoCal Opera singer just out of grad school, has got to catch a break. With the first auditions of the season coming up and her systems analyst job getting even more demanding, Elissa's super stressed, isn't getting enough sleep, and doesn't even have the time to enjoy her favorite foods. Her way of solving the problem? Jetting off to Taipei for a week of fun, food, and more sleep. Now that's a solution.

Jonathan Liu, aspiring author currently working as a bartender at MYST, a classy bar and lounge in the heart of Taipei, is determined to get his novel published this time. He's got one hundred and thirty-eight rejections under his belt, and he doesn't intend to hit one hundred and thirty-nine. Or forty. But either way, he's still got to cater to Taipei's night life, be it an adventurous society princess or a creepy guy on the street.

When the two meet and fall in love within a single night, it's perfect at first. But when it becomes apparent that it won't last forever, they can only hope that it does.

Halfway to you by bitterandhoney_

Neither of them believed in love - not really. Sheng Shaoyou was an exhausted architecture student, too busy chasing perfection and deadlines to chase feelings. Hua Yong was a multimedia major with an easy smile, a string of admirers, and no plans for forever. When they met, it wasn't meant to be anything more than a distraction - two people finding warmth in fleeting nights and unspoken rules. But casual things have a cruel way of turning into something deeper. What starts as late-night drives and unplanned park visits becomes a tangled rhythm of wanting and running - of glances that last too long, and silences that hurt too much. Every time one of them moves closer, the other takes a step back. Until everything finally shatters. And maybe that's what love really is - breaking apart just to find your way back again. Told through soft moments, missed chances, and years of learning to stay, halfway to you is a story of two people who never meant to fall in love... but did, completely - slowly, beautifully, and irrevocably. Because sometimes, peace doesn't come after the storm. Sometimes, it's the person who stands beside you through it. The idea is mine and as this is my 6th book, i still feel i am a noob so please tolerate the journey with me?😤 Warning: Angst MxM No cheating Happy ending? Don't read if you don't want to read a gay fanfiction 🙂
