As You Are
Joe Burrow is trying something new: being seen. Not Joe Burrow the quarterback everyone knows-but Joe the person. The one who reads philosophy books, thinks about more than football, and is finally ready to show a little more of himself. It's strategic, his team says: attend events, do appearances, offer glimpses of his real personality. Give the media something so they stop digging for everything. Y/N Y/L/N has always been seen-maybe too much. Fourteen million followers know about her bipolar disorder, her endometriosis, her therapy breakthroughs, her bad days and good ones. She built an empire on radical honesty because hiding almost killed her once. Authenticity made her famous-but it hasn't made love easy. Every partner adored her when she was shining. Every partner left when she wasn't. When she meets Joe at the Met Gala, neither knows who the other is. He's just a guy with a cufflink problem. She's just someone kind enough to help. A brief, genuine moment-before the chaos pulls them apart. Six months later, at the GQ Awards, they meet again. This time they know exactly who the other is-and that spark wasn't imagined. He's learning to be open. She's spent years living that way. He's realizing that being seen doesn't mean being consumed. She's learning that privacy isn't dishonesty-it's protection. They're not opposites; they're two people meeting in the middle. This is a story about timing, growth, and connection-about what happens when you meet someone right as you're both becoming who you're meant to be.
Natural 20- Eddie Munson x Y/N
Y/N Henderson lived a secluded and plain sailing life, but when your younger brother Dustin blackmails you into joining a D&D game with none other than Eddie Munson, it turns your whole world...upside down... *Femme reader* I keep Y/N image descriptions as vague as possible, the most will be how they are dressed if it's relevant to the storyline and any description of 'perfect' means it's how Eddie sees you, not societies standard of perfection. *Story fits with season 4 but gives Eddie the ending he deserves and the one I think we all hope he gets in season 5* **This story really was a labour of love so I appreciate all the views, votes and comments from all of you. Even as a D&D player a lot of research went into this so knowing how many of you love the story really makes me happy :)**Complete
Stepping Up - A Joseph Quinn & Reader Story
You're not yet 30 and you've already lived a life with more drama and intrigue than all your friends combined. Finally professing your feelings to your "will they, won't they" best friend, everything was like a RomCom. Until, of course, you made the stupid decision a few years ago to marry your school sweetheart on the grounds of you being pregnant with his child, but that so-called romance seemed to fizzle out the second you said "I Do".

That was until you met an interesting stranger while at work, a stranger who became somewhat of a stalker... in the most romantic sense. He's cute and charming, and shows such interest in your life. But he's an actor, a world famous one too, so how could he possibly fit into your little family unit. Time to face the crash course of dating a superstar whilst trying to raise a child.Complete
Hellfire & Honey - An Eddie Munson and Y/N Story
In the hallways of Hawkins High, Y/N Walker and Eddie Munson couldn't be more different or appear to hate each other with such passion - even if they tried. Y/N Walker is an 18-year-old senior with a sharp-tongue and fierce academic drive who clings tightly to a popular crowd that thrives on appearances and social status. Eddie on the other hand? He's the rebellious leader of the Hellfire Club with a loud mouth, wild hair and a penchant for pushing buttons-especially Y/N's, while he navigates his second attempt at senior year. When a partnered project forces them together, sparks fly in all the wrong ways and then, unexpectedly... in all the right ones. Beneath their bickering and scowling appears to lie a deeper connection - one that soon ignites into secret passion, stolen glances and a hidden romance that threatens to destroy the entire social balance of their school. As their feelings intensify, so does the pressure - all while Y/N's usual clique of stuck-up social elitists turn vicious as Eddie's reputation invites unwanted trouble. With jealousy, heartbreak and betrayal bubbling around them, they're forced to choose between the worlds they know and the feelings of love they're building in the shadows. Soaked in teenage longing, rebellion and raw passion, Hellfire and Honey is a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance that explores what it means to truly be seen - and to risk everything for love. - TW - Smut, smoking, drinking, swearing, weed, fighting (verbal & physical).
