"Willa..."
"It's okay, I am okay."
"Willa, I'm sorry."
Kudzu vines stretched and sprawled across dilapidated wood slats on the back porch that splintered beneath the weight of themselves. A rich, warm breeze caressed my face almost as gently as the feeling of the pad of her thumb that grazed my cheek. The sun fought to hang between fluffy white clouds, where the god I thought I knew lived. The soft grass beneath my fingers tickled the center of my palm and the leaves on the trees twisted and turned together so intricately I couldn't tell where one branch ended, and the other branch began. Those leaves seemed as though they were pressing against the sky, creating a pattern against the canvas of pastel blues, periwinkle grays, whites, and sunflower yellows.
Willa and Halcyon guide each other through trials of love, friendship, trust, and growth in this coming of age YA novel based in the Appalachias.

delicate [1] | TAYLOR SWIFT
flashback when you met me your buzzcut and my hair bleached... ---- When English Actress Kaia Browne decides to attend the Met Gala, she never expected to meet international superstar Taylor Swift, let alone becoming her friend when they notice they have more than one thing in common. Now, Kaia realises she's quite fond of the singer and sees in her something the rest of the world could never quite see. She can't seem to let go of Taylor as her life on the other hand begins to spiral in ways she never thought could ever happen. Follow Taylor and Kaia as they try to navigate through the complicated life of fame, friendship, and maybe more...? * Rated R for mature content and language. * cw // mentions of ED This story is entirely my work of fiction. All characters and fictional places are from my own imagination except for the obvious real famous people. The timeline is not necessarily a hundred percent accurate to Taylor's for the sake of the story and for it to make sense. I hope you enjoy it! Frequent updates!Completa
The Forest
Ernwood Forest is home to people living hidden from the prying eyes of humans; the Winged and their tribes. These people stand no taller than a few centimetres off the ground, meaning that things can sometimes get a little difficult... especially when humans are involved. But life isn't all bad. For the first time ever, Azure and the tribes have a human of their own protecting them from the sinister forces beyond the edge of the trees. As the months of winter roll in, nights are growing longer and snow has settled on the leafless branches. The forest is still. The only humans anyone expects to see are the few that know of the tiny people's existence. But the tribes are not alone in the forest anymore. The abductions begin. The past awakens. And a long forgotten shadow falls over the forest. Azure and the others once again find themselves having to fight to prevent their family from being ripped apart- only this time, things are different. This time, even the humans are in danger. ❤️❤️ Updates: When I can ahh❤️❤️ ⚠️ Mild fear/ violence warning --- This is the third part to this little trilogy :) I would recommend reading the other parts first if you can suffer through them. I can gladly summarise all that has happened so far in a lil note in the beginning if people so desire to skip two stories full of what a younger-me considered good writing :)
The Unforgettable Echoes Of Love
Raya is different from the typical 17-year-old with lots of friends and a social life. She's been dealing with schizophrenia since she was young, feeling like an outsider, especially in high school where she only has two friends and a close host family. Despite the support, she still wants more. When her boyfriend cheats on her, it feels like her world falls apart, leaving her empty. But things change when she meets Zyran. There's something familiar about him, and she knows she'll fall for him. Yet, their love faces challenges because Zyran is a broken teen with no family, and Raya deals with a likely chronic illness. Zyran changes Raya's life, but not always in a good way. Will their love for each other survive the difficult challenges of life? *** "I admit, I'm afraid to love you." I whispered, tracing my finger along the contours of his sharp features. Zyran's green eyes pierced into mine. "Why?" he asks with a soft tone, laced with pain and confusion. Taking a deep breath, I confessed, "Because once I start, I won't be able to stop." Before he could respond, I kissed him passionately, relishing the soft sensation. He pulled me into a tight embrace, and in that moment, I realised we were bound together. I had made my choice I would never let him goCompleta
Venessa
"I love you." He whispered in my ear and gently kissed my shoulder blade. After kissing my neck thoroughly, he brought his lips back to mine. He gently bit the corner of my lips and swooped his tongue over it, soothingly. His hands working behind me, as he slowly unzipped my dress and I started unbuttoning his shirt. He pressed his lower body to mine, making me aware of his arousal. Soon, we were under the sheets, naked. Making love to each other, over and over again. . . . . And it was the moon, that witnessed us, entangled in limbs. 🌟 3rd rank ~ #Novela (06 Jan 2021) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 【 18+ warning.

The Way Love Changes You; Book One: Love's Firsts
Love can feel empowering. Love can be deadly. It can be the greatest thing to ever happen. It can be the biggest mistake that can't be reversed. It can feel like a dream come true. It can feel like a nightmare that you can't wake up from. Love changes people in many ways, from mild to severe, whether it's beneficial or detrimental in anybody's life, no matter if you're lesbian, gay, straight, bisexual, pansexual, or a person who just loves people without a label. How does love change you? ******* It's like your basic high school love story, except it's with adults in their early-mid 20s, and they're either still in college or have graduated from college and have jobs. It's a modern slice of life narrative novel about lesbians trying to find true love or wanting to get back into the love game. Five of these lovely characters share their own little tales of how love changes them first go, or their first time in forever! Their perspectives on love as it takes effect either get sensual, dramatic, or to the extent of a slow burn, as they also deal with life's obstacles along the way and share a part in each other's stories. There are ups and downs as their own stories go along, and it all gets more suspenseful towards the end where problems unfortunately arise. Will things get better or worse from here for these lovestruck lesbians as the story goes on? [Content/Trigger Warnings- the main warnings are scenes of sexual activity, and suicidal talk/attempt, along with mentions of said attempt. Everything else is listed inside the book! Please read the list before reading the book!] [Word count: +140,000 words...I write a lot, but enjoy anyway!]Completa

Destined By Fate
Kendall has always lived a quiet life in a small town in Illinois with her family, friends, and boyfriend Jordan. Her life had been mostly happy other than when her best friend moved away when she was 10. It took her years to get over that loss. Then several years later, tragedy struck when her father passed away suddenly and Kendall was forced to move with her mom closer to Chicago where she could find a job to support the two of them. Little does Kendall know that she is in for the surprise of a lifetime. From the book.... As he catches up to me, he grabs my arm swings me around and with one swift movement he ushers me into a nearby empty classroom with the lights off. He cages me in against the wall. His close proximity is making me dizzy and my mind is thinking very dirty thoughts. Wait no. I can't think like that anymore. "Kendall." He says hungrily. "You are mine and only mine. You drive me wild and no one else can have you." He says as he attacks my lips. It feels so amazing I can't help but kiss him back. I run my hands through his beautiful hair and he groans into the kiss. Man I don't want this to ever end. I feel drunk on him. I don't think I can let him go. He stops suddenly to finish his thoughts. "No one can make you feel like this. Or kiss you here...." He says as he kisses down my neck. I moan and he smirks pulling his face impossibly close to mine. "..or touch you." He says as he takes his hand and brushes it lightly down my arm and he snakes it back around my back pulling me even closer if that is possible. He finally stops at my ass which he squeezes delightfully and I hum in response. Warning: Contains graphic sexual content. Read at your own discretion. You will not be warned ahead of time.

THE DRENCHED CONFESSION
On a rainy afternoon, two friends seek shelter together, their clothes drenched from the storm. As they dry off, unspoken tension builds between them. The protagonist finds themselves drawn to the other's beauty, their heart racing with emotions they never acknowledged before. A simple moment-brushing hair, a lingering touch-leads to a kiss, then something deeper, something intimate and electric. Their bodies speak in ways words never could, lost in the warmth of each other. But when the rain stops, so does the illusion. The moment shatters when one pulls away, apologizing-revealing that, despite everything they shared, they don't see the protagonist that way. Left alone, heartbroken, the protagonist is left to wrestle with the contradiction of feeling everything just moments before, only to lose it all in the silence that follows.Completa
