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.

Seven years of silent love. Two boys fighting for her heart. One phobia that changes everything. Returning to Lagos, Nigeria after two difficult years away was hard enough for Bella. Now, navigating the drama of high school is even tougher when you're wrestling with autism and a debilitating phobia of touch that keeps the entire world at arm's length. Bella has built walls too high and too thick for anyone to penetrate-anyone, except for one person. That person is Max. Max is the only boy Bella has ever loved, and the only person she allows to break her barrier and offer a comforting hand. But Max sees Bella as his best friend, his safe harbor, and nothing more, leaving Bella trapped in a seven-year-long, agonizing friend-zone as he dates other girls. Enter Max's younger brother, the charismatic, persistent boy who sees the real Bella beneath her tough exterior. He's determined to break through her phobia and show her what true, reciprocal love looks like. As Bella navigates the minefield of high school, forced proximity, and her own deeply-rooted fears, she faces an impossible choice: Will she finally confess her love and win the boy she's devoted seven years to, or will his brother be the one to finally teach her how to let go and feel?
Avalance AU: My Reason For Now
"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 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.

'𝐋𝐚𝐜𝐮𝐧𝐚' - 𝘢 𝘣𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘦, 𝘢 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵. | | ᥉tartᧉ꯭d ; 11/05/25 [ dd/mm/yy ] | ╰────────────────── •ᯓᡣ𐭩 Isaac Caden moved through life with a quiet emptiness he couldn't quite name, a subtle 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝘂𝗻𝗮 carved into the center of his being. He remembered faces without voices, moments without meaning - like snapshots from a film with the sound turned off. Isaac never let anyone nor himself see what he truly felt; his emotions were locked away behind an unshakable calm, as if revealing them would only make the emptiness inside him more real. People said he was an asshole, distant, always somewhere else, but the truth was simpler: something was missing, a piece of himself that had slipped away long ago. And though he didn't know what it was, he felt its absence in every silence, every unanswered question, every dream he couldn't quite remember when he woke up. Isaac never thought he would understand himself internally, he wasn't even sure that there was anything beneath his shell, he felt hollow - like there was nothing special about his existence. Purely floating through life without meaning. After a long time of trying to read himself, he gave up. He didn't care to understand anymore, he thought there was no reason for him being on this earth - he was then brutally slapped in the face with hard proof that he was wrong. ────୨ৎ──── 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: This story contains harsh topics and language, if any of the following disturbs you, do not read.
