The year is 2022, handsome 21 year old Alex Smith inherits an old Victorian mirror. At first, the man payed no mind to the new found decoration. Until he realised that no matter how hard he scrubbed and cleaned it, it would never show his reflection. Rising suspicion caused him to pay more attention to the mirror, but as they say, curiosity killed the cat. What happens when Alex wakes up one day, on a warm July morning in 1842, and falls in love while trying to escape the new period he's found himself in? Will he spend his days blissfully in love? Or will his lover just become a reflection of the past?

"I want you, all of you. I want you to beg for me, to need me. I want every ounce of you to belong to me and only me," Alex whispers into my ear as his muscular arms wrap tightly around me. His breath is hot against my skin, and a shiver runs down my spine, mixing desire with a touch of fear. I can feel the weight of his words pressing down on me, stirring something deep inside me, like a longing I can't quite make out. ༺═──────────────═༻ In a world where hierarchy reigns supreme within the Omegaverse, equality is a distant dream....

Bet We Could Make Some MORE (History Huh?)
Alex and Henry are newly engaged and planning their wedding as Alex's first Congressional election is coming up. While Henry is done with being in the spotlight, he's always knew that to love Alex, he'll have to continue to be. But as the wedding approaches, it eats at him as he realizes Alex and him want different lives. Alex, meanwhile is too wrapped up in politics to see how much Henry is suffering, and in his attempt to balance being everything to everyone, turns to vice. Will this be the thing that tears them apart? How can they both be happy if one of them has to sacrifice the life they have always desired? Follows book cannon (but not the bonus chapter exactly) and takes place 6 years after the end of the book. Chapters will alternate being told from Henry and Alex's POVs. TRIGGER WARNINGS: mental health issues, drug and alcohol use, disordered eating, profanity, and (light) sexual content Note: Please consider the politics in this story to be a very fictional representation, and they do NOT truly represent US politics.

Once in a Lifetime {BxB English}
IMPORTANT: Once in a Lifetime has been removed from Wattpad and is preparing for publication on Amazon. The first two chapters remain available as a preview. Please read the "READ THIS FIRST" chapter for more information and future updates. They say some loves only happen once. For Ody and Mano, that once changes everything. Mano doesn't do vulnerability. Aggressive, tattooed, cold, and impossible to like, he plays the villain on purpose, because being hated is safer than being seen. And losing someone again isn't a risk he's willing to take. Ody is the opposite. Bright, extroverted, charming, and painfully sincere, he notices when you're hurting, even when you pretend you're not. He remembers your birthday, offers you the last slice, and apologizes even when it's not his fault. For someone like Mano, that kind of softness is dangerous. When their lives collide, nothing about them makes sense, except the way they keep gravitating toward each other. What starts as tension becomes something neither of them can name, and soon, something they can't stop. But between secrets, buried trauma, and a world that won't let them exist without consequences, wanting each other comes at a cost. One keeps pushing him away. The other keeps reaching past every warning sign. Together, they burn. But when everything catches fire, love may not be enough to save them.Complete
