Shatter Me Series (but make it gay)
The entire Shatter Me series as is, except with two of my own characters and girl Warner ends up with Juliette instead. Character-accurate Kenji + Aaron/Warner as well 😗 P.S., if you're looking to reread the Shatter Me series, or have never read it before but want to, this is very close to the original. I write probably way too much detail, and some scenes, especially within the first four "books", are similar. Author is a 20-year-old with a fresh BA in Psychology who loves writing and daydreams way too much. Official Summary (if you're still here): Alexis Warner is the twin sister of Aaron Warner. They are the Co-Chief Commanders and Regents of Sector 45. Both were raised by Anderson, their horrible father and the Supreme Commander of North America. Juliette has been in an insane asylum for the fact that she possesses the ability to kill with a single touch. The Warners take interest in this, wishing to help their sick mother, but hiding under the guise of wanting Juliette as a weapon for The Reestablishment. Alexis takes a particularly special interest in Juliette, however. (I keep the boring parts out. I'll tell you at the start of the chapter if there's basically a word-by-word scene so you can decide if it's boring or skippable. Otherwise, I try to keep it fast-paced enough to hold your interest :))

And what happens when he finds himself longing for her? Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for.
