'Til Death Do Us Apart (GxG, WLW) by robinwritesss

Set against the backdrop of the rigid and oppressive Victorian Era, eighteen-year-old Florence is trapped in a life she never chose. Pressured by her family, she is betrothed to Edward, a man she neither loves nor desires. Her heart belongs to Margaret, her spirited and fiercely loyal best friend since childhood. Their secret love has been a forbidden flame, burning brightly but quietly in the shadows of a deeply homophobic society. As Florence walks down the aisle, bound by duty and societal expectations, she feels the weight of the life she's leaving behind. Her marriage to Edward begins a spiral of heartache, and when she discovers she's expecting his child, her dream of a life with Margaret seems impossibly distant. But everything changes when tragedy strikes, leaving Florence at a crossroads. The death sets off a chain of events that brings her and Margaret closer than ever before. Their bond deepens, no longer something they can-or are willing to-hide. Now, Florence and Margaret face an impossible choice: remain shackled by society's chains or risk everything-their reputations, their families, and even their lives-for the chance to live and love freely.

Loving Merritt Forever by lovelycrowsong

Part 1: Today was supposed to be my fairytale day. My perfect wedding day. I made my way to David, he took my hand in his, walking us closer to the long faced man who would be marrying us. The officiant started, greeting the room full of all my family, all of David's family. Going through the first reading easily. Giving their peace on the joy of marriages, it was bland, but acceptable. Moving along, the officiant announced in a loud voice, "If anyone here knows of any reason why these two should not be lawfully wed, let them speak now, or forever hold their peace." The officiant boomed over the crowd. I was caught off guard. This part was supposed to be just a formality, just a box to tick. No one was supposed to say anything. The world started to go in slow motion as Verity moved behind me a flicker in the corner of my vision. "David, I can't hide anymore." He said. As David's eyes went from me, to Verity, filled with concern. David looked over my head at Verity while he was holding my hands in his. I heard the crowd gasp, before everyone started to whisper. David dropped my hands. The whispers increased in intensity. Making the room sound like it was full of hissing snakes. David's attention wasn't anywhere near me. I looked up to see him looking over my head at my brother. With a look I had thought he had saved just for me, my heart breaking as my fairy tale became a nightmare. Part 2 also complete July 2023.

Trying Not To Love (COMPLETED) by Books_and_nerds

I stepped forward and asked, "Where do you want me?" It took me a second to realize what I just said. Shit! I placed a hand on my crimson face and muttered, "Get your head out of the gutter! You know what I meant." He laughed, his voice sounded hoarse and deep even when he's laughing. I peeked at him from the gap I made between my fingers. He was close. So close. He grabbed my hand and took me to the bed. Damn! It did sound sexy. His shirt was loose. Too large for me, and it hung on me like a cloth hung on a hanger. He sat on the bed, criss crossed and pulled me to him. ♡♡♡♡♡ The thing about love is... its unpredictable. Even when you don't want love, it just happens.
