Put together two nosy detectives, an incompetent small town police force, one rather slow evening, and an elderly couple being brought in for questioning on their latest spate of supposedly "petty" crimes- and what do you get?
A disregard to the regular rules of privacy.
Bored stiff out of their minds, with the couples' case files sitting right there in front of them along with a hell of a lot of time to waste, trainee Detective Bennet and her colleague take a surface-level dive into exposing some of the truth behind just what makes these two pensioners so notorious in the town.

Between
She's panting, flushed and breathless like something from another century. It hurts to look at her, so stunningly alive in a way he isn't. Almost smiling, too. She has the kind of lips that need undiluted devotion. "You've always looked at me," she breathes. Yes, and he finds himself thinking about ruin. The right kind, like his knuckles against her jaw to shake her apart. Freedom. Maybe in another life, he brushes the hair off her shoulder and whispers, 'Eyes on me.' Maybe in another life, they have time. 𝑫𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒊𝒕? 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒔𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆. She isn't his to protect. He's a cop, she's taken, and rules are rules. But Faro Wyatt has mapped every freckle on her nose and dreamt of the oceans in her eyes. His resolve is weakening. So when the radio crackles with a single call, he's breaking every rule from here on out.

These short stories will be of mine and my friend's characters that we made to cosplay the videos are on YouTube. By day, the 2 main characters were the city's most celebrated detectives, unraveling the darkest mysteries with unnerving precision. By night, they were something else entirely-killers, bound by a pact forged years ago when the lines between justice and vengeance blurred beyond recognition. This is also contained GAY lots and lots of gay (LESBIANS!!!! YAYAYA) If you don't like it you can just leave thenk you!! Please also let me know if you would like access to my youtube account so you can watch the videos involving these characters to get a better idea of what they look like. DISCLAMER: some of the videos will be similar to the story line but not the exact same. Credits to my friend as well who made one of these 2 characters LOVE YOU BESTIEEEE!!!

Playing dangerous
When Daphne gets caught doing illegal graffiti by a policeman, she doesn't make the wisest choices, like running away... She finds out later on that the policeman she's been playing cat-and-mouse with has a little more to himself than being ruthless and stoic, and also she finds out that her parents may or may not be related to a long-lost unsolved case... A not-so-typical (I hope) story about a sunshine art student and a grumpy cop who end up, as different as they are, soulmates in a slow-burn romance. TW: There's no spice it's just cute and interesting
Perfect Fate ✔ (Moved To Inkitt)
Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book.

Under Suspicion
Two cops-- partners. They see it all: the good, the bad, and the stupid. And their job is not an easy one, when dealing with the public. Not to mention how it affects their personal lives. ***Note: Rather than a traditional story, this is 'slice-of-life' fiction, comprised of various vignettes in the lives of these characters. This story may not be everyone's cup of tea.*** (This is the third in the "Boys in Blue" series, or, as I like to call it, The Adventures of Earnest and Wry. The first adventure is told in “Arrest Me,” and the second is "Officer Down.")Complete

Ridiculously Me
Some girls have normal teenage problems. Daniella Katamina has detention, a stolen police dog, a cousin who treats felonies like hobbies, and a chemistry partner who knows far too much about her. Danny's life is already ridiculous enough. Between eccentric classmates, disastrous school days, family drama, and her talent for turning ordinary situations into crime scenes, surviving high school should be her biggest concern. But when her reckless cousin Max arrives and drags her into a world of fake IDs, underground clubs, gang politics and suspiciously attractive trouble, Danny's carefully buried past begins clawing its way back. Two years ago, Danny walked away from a darker life and left behind the name Quinn. She thought that part of her was dead. She thought the worst night of her life was over. She thought she could hide behind sarcasm, chaos and pretending she was fine. She was wrong. Now dangerous men are searching for the girl with green eyes, old enemies are whispering her fake name, and Nate, the boy who keeps protecting her, may have his own reasons for getting close. As her missing father's secrets collide with her own, Danny is forced to face the truth she has spent years running from. Because some secrets don't stay buried. Some come back with a gun, a smile, and a name you never wanted to hear again. Ridiculously Me is a chaotic mystery-comedy packed with friendship, family drama, messy romance, crime, dangerous secrets, and one girl who really, really needs a normal week.Complete

More and more surprises show up. Things that didn't add up all make sense. Everything has become messy, blurry, and complicated. Do they really know each other?Complete
