Patty Newman and her wife Tess are cleaning out her late grandfather's house in 2023, when Patty finds a note from him written on the back of a picture, in which he reveals himself as bisexual. He tells her the location of a diary where she learns about how her grandfather, Murray, had a secret relationship with his best friend Fred in 1950s Oregon. After this revelation, the plot switches back and forth between 2023, where Patty and Tess are searching for more information, and the 1950s, where Fred and Murray navigate being in a very secretive male-male relationship during the age of McCarthyism.
Based on the Reedsy Prompt "Start your story with someone discovering a photograph that has something written on the back," from the July 23rd, 2021 contest.

How bad could it be to enlist your female best friend into helping you lie to your Christian family about your new relationship with your male best friend and about your newfound sexuality? Not that bad, right? Right??? --------- Nova Queen and Arizona "Ari" Matthews weren't always close in high school, but after an intense and serious conversation in the library one day, the two become the best of friends until they go their separate ways their freshman year of college. Now in their mid 20s and freshly out of grad school, they are reunited in the park of their hometown where Ari asks a huge favor of Nova that she later wishes she had refused. But in the end, will she really wish she had refused? *FA spans a timeline from 2010-2020 to help the reader see how the relationships were built between characters in a partial series of flashbacks.

It had adult themes such as sex murder rape attempt rape and pregnancy.Complete![Finding You [BillDip]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/114409019-256-k773765.jpg)
Finding You [BillDip]
[Bill Cipher x Dipper Pines Fanfiction] *Written in P.O.V* The very first summer the Pines twins spent in Gravity Falls left Dipper feeling curious. He wanted to know all he could about Bill Cipher, but he was gone to his knowledge. That was not the case however. Bill was not gone, he was simply weakened. He would return soon, much to Dipper's delight. While he was scared of Bill, he wanted to know anything he could, no matter how close that meant getting. After several weeks the two were inseparable. A spark flourished between them and they were deeply in love. While the Pines family did not approve of the relationship, Dipper did not allow that to stop him. The only thing that would tear the two apart was death. Tragically, that is exactly what happened. Bill was left a broken mess after Dipper's death and was determined to uncover the truth of his lover's demise. Will he be able to find and save his love in another dimension or will he lose him all over again?Complete
