A collection of short stories (very short, some of them) written to prompts during Pride Month (June/July). Started in 2021, but ongoing... Turns out, we're back in 2026. Woo! ** -Dark Eyes Melting My Soul - written to @lgbtq's 'Summer of Songs' 2021 prompt (write a song-fic). The title is shamelessly pinched from the song concerned. *Placed first in the contest* -An Awakening - written to @lgbtq's 'Rainbow Magic', Disney-themed prompt. The word limit was 500 to be an eligible entry, but this is way over that so ended up being just for fun. (2021) -At Home - for @mystery's "Case of Pride: different kind of mystery" (2026). The prompts were that a conversation changes things; that someone gets 'seen'; that somewhere unexpectedly feels like home. This is a conversation between two women, at least one of whom hopefully finally feels 'seen' and at home - so take your pick of which bits of the prompt it satisfies. (Word limit: 100) -'Don't see many of you in here...' - a proper dad-joke an unlikely ally told me recently (20/06/26), which is actually about prejudice. It deserves to be shared, and retold, especially at the moment. (But here's to dads, kindly father figures, and their jokes...)

Love can feel empowering. Love can be deadly. It can be the greatest thing to ever happen. It can be the biggest mistake that can't be reversed. It can feel like a dream come true. It can feel like a nightmare that you can't wake up from. Love changes people in many ways, from mild to severe, whether it's beneficial or detrimental in anybody's life, no matter if you're lesbian, gay, straight, bisexual, pansexual, or a person who just loves people without a label. How does love change you? ******* It's like your basic high school love story, except it's with adults in their early-mid 20s, and they're either still in college or have graduated from college and have jobs. It's a modern slice of life narrative novel about lesbians trying to find true love or wanting to get back into the love game. Five of these lovely characters share their own little tales of how love changes them first go, or their first time in forever! Their perspectives on love as it takes effect either get sensual, dramatic, or to the extent of a slow burn, as they also deal with life's obstacles along the way and share a part in each other's stories. There are ups and downs as their own stories go along, and it all gets more suspenseful towards the end where problems unfortunately arise. Will things get better or worse from here for these lovestruck lesbians as the story goes on? [Content/Trigger Warnings- the main warnings are scenes of sexual activity, and suicidal talk/attempt, along with mentions of said attempt. Everything else is listed inside the book! Please read the list before reading the book!] [Word count: +140,000 words...I write a lot, but enjoy anyway!]
