Ava Graham, an autistic teenager with a passion for dragons, fantasy, and "The Elderscrolls V: Skyrim".

 Lilly Miller, Ava's best friend since childhood who has a love for the outdoors and a habit of getting high in unorthodox situations.

 Since middle school, Lilly has had a not-so-small crush on Ava, a crush that Ava herself is oblivious to.

 Through the help of her friends, time spent together after school, and the various celebrations they participate in, Ava experiences one of the strangest parts of life, something that's never crossed her mind: love and what it's like to fall in it.

 But she doesn't rush anything, she's never been the type to rush. Through the good days and the bad, she takes everything one day at a time.

Avalance AU: My Reason For Now by justalezbian

"Sara I don't know if I lik-" She cut me off but this time, with words. "I don't really expect you to like me back. I just thought this is the only time I'm going to get to kiss you sober and I take opportunities as they come." -- Ava and Sara are two people you could never imagine associating with each other because of the high school cliche that popular people and nerds don't mix and that statement is more or less evident at their high school in Starling City. The two get partnered for a project and their platonic relationship starts off... unusually, to say the least, but the odd start becomes an inside joke and only brings them closer. The closeness is great but it makes it hard for Sara, who's feelings change for Ava. She has to deal with her crush liking another girl and Ava herself has to deal with Sara's inconsistent behavior as a friend. Everyday is a constant battle to get closer than close to each other and blossom out of their best friendship to something more intimate. When things finally do get to the relationship stage Sara isn't how you'd expect. It's real for her.

Heather by Maliii732

"And for our last question," the interviewer smiles, "if you could title a book about your life, what would it be?" The audience claps. My answer is immediate. "Heather." The host leans in, interested but seemingly confused... "Why?" ---------------×---------×----------------- What begins as a high school crush spirals into a crisis that shatters everything Sara thought she knew-about love, loyalty, and herself. Seventeen-year-old Sara Davis struggles with self-worth and confidence. She's reserved, self-critical, and constantly battling the voice in her head that says she's not enough. Her best friend Heather, bold and unshakable, is her anchor-the one person who sees the light in her and pushes her toward it. Then there's Elijah Garcia-smart, athletic, wealthy, and effortlessly magnetic. For as long as Sara can remember, he's been the definition of perfect. A silent fantasy. A distant dream. Encouraged by Heather, Sara finally pursues her feelings, and for a moment, it feels like she's living her own fairytale. But beneath the glittering surface lies a darker truth. As hearts break, jealousy festers, and betrayal seeps into every corner of her life, Sara finds herself unraveling. Secrets long buried rise to the surface, threatening to destroy everything she believes in. This is not just a story about falling in love. It's about falling apart-and the fight to piece yourself back together. TRIGGER WARNINGS: Depression, self-harm, abandonment, suicide, cursing, and other mature themes. [COMPLETED]

Ribbons in Her Blonde Hair ✔️ by dearpacificday

Bullied and bruised, Adam Winters has survived high school by keeping his head down. Those bothered by his quiet, eccentric nature? They are the 'pretty' ones. The ones with comfortable backgrounds. The ones at the top. When an attractive transfer becomes his seat neighbour for the rest of the semester, Adam is naturally wary-- partly because of her brawny sibling in senior year, and partly because she checks every box on his list of people to avoid: pretty, rich, and popular. With an angelic smile, twinkling sapphire eyes and ribbons in her blonde hair, her persona screams perfection. A level he won't be able to achieve even in his quirkiest of daydreams-- not like he'd ever want to. After all, despite her odd choice of friends, her playful teasing, and her persistent efforts to win his trust, isn't she just another heartless bully? ••• Featured on: @humor - DiverseLit Humor (Sept 2025) @Ambassadors - Slice Of Life (Sept 2025) @humor - Ambassador's Monthly Pick (Oct 2025)

Pip Winter doesn't have any friends, hasn't laughed in years and he pushes down his trauma.

As his emotions start slowly flooding back his bond with a new boy strengthens. - TW: THIS STORY DEALS WITH DIFFICULT TOPICS SUCH AS ABUSE, DEPRESSION, SELF HARM AND OTHER TRAUMA.

Seventeen-year-old Lena Hart, quiet and awkward in all the wrong moments, never imagined her heart would ache for someone who's always been right beside her. She's been best friends with Eli Maddox since middle school - her safety net, her person. He's six feet of smiles, hoodies, and the kind of comfort that makes you forget the world can hurt. They've always worked - her silence, his laughter. Her overthinking, his easygoing warmth. But what happens when the line between friendship and something deeper starts to blur? High school is ending. College applications are looming. And suddenly, the question isn't whether Lena and Eli can go back to friends... It's whether they even want to.

Miss, Do I Know You? by reneesteinberg

A stranger to her own existence, Kayla moves to a small town with the hope of finding comfort in a fresh start. But as she steps inside the unfamiliar classroom on the first day, standing in front of the class is a mysteriously familiar face, one that rouses memories of a time she believed had gone by. With past baggage catching up in the most intrusive ways, she stumbles upon unexpected comfort of friendship, unconditional love of found family, and a beautiful yet complicated bond between two hesitant souls. "This book was like a warm hug, and I might believe in love again." "I would give everything, especially my soul, to have the opportunity to read this book for the first time again." ────── CW: Substance abuse, harsh language, sexual content, mention of self-harm and suicide. ────── Started in January 2018.

Because You're Different ✔ by ErinMandel

What if your body doesn't always do what you want it to do? For June, this isn't a question, but a daily reality. As a fourteen-year-old with cerebral palsy, frequently dropping stuff and being stared at by complete strangers is nothing out of the ordinary. Other than that, life is great, until her parents decide to move to California. With all her friends miles away and nobody there to protect her from boys stealing your lunch, school becomes a lot more complicated than it had been. Then, she befriends Sam Redstone, a shy boy who'd always been invisible to others. June's days improve drastically with Sam by her side, and when she meets his older brother Nathan, she finally believes her cousin Valentina might have been right about sexy California guys. Slowly, she and Nathan develop a unique friendship, one that, June finds herself hoping, might someday turn into something more. But as the years go by, she's starting to think she might never be with him that way, or with any other man for that. Started: 29 January 2019 Completed: 16 May 2020

Maze by Tara676

(CURRENTLY REVAMPED!) (The Slices of Life, #1) For years, one thing that had always bothered Serena Wilton is the idea of reconciling with a past friend. Whenever he was around, her eyes rested upon him; whether it was at classes or outside of school. She yearned for those wonderful memories again, but the looming fear just wouldn't let her initiate the conversation. Serena clearly remembered how their paths crossed in that one field trip, and the instant click as they interacted. He was nothing but a sunny friend with such contagious confidence... until that accident. Not only did he turn into someone Serena never recognized, but the relationship they built together, soured and crumbled apart. Even so, perhaps her plans can actually work if she's willing to push that stupid anxiety away and speak a word or two. Piece of cake, right?

In The Backseat by iamtouhou

Roommates by chance, sparks fly immediately-but not in the way anyone expects. Calitrope dismisses Venici as a cute, easily manipulated plaything, someone to tease, maybe charm, then move on from. But as days melt into weeks, Calitrope finds herself inexplicably drawn to Venici's stubbornness, her intelligence, the way her cheeks flush when Calitrope pushes her buttons. Venici, for her part, knows she should resist the flirtatious allure of her rebellious roommate, yet her heart betrays her. The tension between them grows slowly, heated glances exchanged across their shared space, casual brushes of skin that linger longer than they should. As Calitrope finds herself caught between the intoxicating thrill of control and the undeniable pull of something deeper, Venici realizes that the fierce competition between them might just be the one thing keeping Calitrope coming back-and maybe, just maybe, there's more to their banter than either of them are willing to admit. Neither is willing to make the first move, and yet, in the backseat of that Mustang, things might finally come to a head. It's not just about winning anymore-it's about giving in.
