Mrs. Avery
Love is strange. It exists in many forms and is one of the key components that makes humans happy, but there isn't a lot of understanding surrounding it. At least not the kind of understanding with which the average person identifies. Agnes is one of the few people that can accept all kinds of love. Despite her dated name, she is a woman in her late 20's dealing with the death of most of her family. She's now stuck in the middle of figuring out how to raise children that she never saw in her future and deciding what love means for her, when it has to exist within layer upon layer of complication. She let go of her boyfriend after almost a decade because their love wasn't meant to exist under the strain of children, only to find herself confronted with the overpowering connection of her old high school sweetheart. The same man she ran away from because their values hardly aligned when it came to how love should be expressed long term. Within the midst of learning how to raise children and balance her ever-building career, Agnes tries to recover from her mother's death, seek comfort without complicating her circumstance, and figure out why her mother would name her Agnes. Finding real comfort starts to feel impossible, as her most available options are her ex-boyfriend and her assistant. Completed! Rejected 6 times** "This one just isn't for us." By far the most plain rejection I have ever received and I can respect it. 1/22/2022 - 1K 9/28/2022 - 10KComplete

Volcano Meets Tonardo (gxg)
We are told that if it's not perfect it's not enough. We are called insane for breaking every rule. We are told that we should change and only then we'll be happy. We are convinced that there is no going back and hell is our final destination. They have a blueprint of how our lives will end and never a solution to better the plan. I say there is a way out every mess, an alley to heaven. I didn't have to be perfect, I just had to accept defeat and let her lead. She thought I was perfect when everybody else didn't. I fell in love with a soul like mine. My Tonardo... ______________________________________ This is not some holy holy book, It's not rated PG nor Family friendly.
