Elias is a simple, shy, yet sassy 21 year old guy living in a small Minnesota town, but dreams of going to Germany. He loves playing tennis, working with the community theater, and art. (He's also gay, but isn't open about it. Only his sister Casey knows).
Duran is a confident, extroverted, yet sensitive 22 year old guy, living in the same town. He works at a local flower shop, but also loves acting in the community theater and playing tennis. (He's also bisexual, and somehow everyone except Elias knows).
Emma is an egotistical, cocky, yet persistent 21 year old girl who lives in the same apartment complex as Elias. She loves being a part of the theater, meddling in Elias's business, and making sure everyone knows about her.
Elias has had a very average life, until pretty recently. It's nothing too bad, but he's finally come to terms with the fact he's gay. Which has been a struggle. But, he's falling for Duran, the cute-yet-bold flower shop manager and theater actor. The problem is, Duran is straight (or so he thinks). He also gets too anxious and shy to ever talk to Duran.
Emma and Elias have known each other since 2nd grade, but recently have been drifting apart. Emma has been... well... weirdly clingy with Elias, in an uncomfortable way. He doesn't know how to tell her to back off a bit.
And at theater rehearsals, Elias sees how Duran seems to smile a bit differently at Emma than to anyone else, and it kinda hurts, even when he tells himself it means nothing.
This is the story of love, loss, and finding yourself, especially with the help of others.

"Did I cross the Line?" Jayvik Elf AU
This story is about the peoples of the Light Elfs and the Dark Elfs and their existing conflicts. Each Nation has its own characteristics as well as advantages and disadvantages that are further elucidated in this story. Jayce and Viktor who come from very different backgrounds find each other through curiosity and a preference for science. They learn to discard the prejudices and habits of their people and learn to work together. Despite the ups and downs and their very different origins, they will find each other through a spark. A forbidden love blossoms, with consequences... Small preview: Viktor's POV "Shit...can't you watch where you going?! Were your eyes giving up or wha-" I drew attention to myself while being mad and the person slowly stood up from me only to hover over me. His hood had slipped down and we looked straight into each others eyes. I didn't even finish my sentence and suddenly turned speechless. While we were looking at eachothers eyes, his eyes shone gold for a split second before it faded again. My anger was completely extinguished and I completely forgot about the pain. "Oh my God, I'm so sorry. That's not what I intended to...what was the word in Dazhaunian again? Ehh Fuck..." he said in his broken Dazhaunian while also mumbling in Ploverian.

Even In Pieces [bxb]
-KIND OF MATURE- "I wouldn't fuck you if you paid me." Well, at least my question is answered. He can get more punchable. We glare at each other, I am surprised neither of us have raised our fists yet. It wouldn't be the first time. "Who says you'll be the one fucking?" I snap back. _______________________________________ Zachary Alvarez has always hidden his broken parts behind his charm, sarcasm and arrogance. He is a complete asshole to most, especially one man in particular who he occasionally wants to lick all over or shoot in the head (He isn't picky). Nothing in Zach's life is constant. All he has ever cared for is himself since nobody else did. A lot of drinks, one-night stands, relationships that he never put effort into and people always leaving, that's all he has ever known. And Everett absolutely hates Zach's guts and hates how his smirk makes him feel triggered. Everett has always been this or that for people, always an image. Most times he doesn't even care, but sometimes it gets irritating. But somewhere both Everett and Zach starts to see each other. All that hate gets a bit too exhilarating. In so many ways... _________________________________________ If you guys are looking for an enemies to lovers with a lot of sexual tension... #1st in lovers #1st in homosexual #1st in bxb #1st in university #2nd in drama #4th in Lgbt #8th in mxm #19th in romanceComplete

Breaking the script
Here's a concept for your YA novel: Title: "Breaking the Script" Synopsis: Seventeen-year-old Isla Reyes has lived her entire life under the spotlight-not by choice, but because her parents are Hollywood royalty. Her mother, Mei Ling Zhang, is a globally celebrated Asian actress known for her Oscar-winning performances, while her father, Javier Reyes, is a Mexican heartthrob who's dominated the industry for decades. Their world is all about red carpets, flawless public images, and staying in control. But Isla is anything but in control. Struggling with undiagnosed bipolar disorder, addiction, and the suffocating expectations of her family, she spends her nights sneaking out to underground clubs and her mornings numbing herself just to make it through the day. Her grades are slipping, the tabloids are watching, and the only people who seem to get her are her best friend Sasha, an aspiring director, and Luca, a musician who shares her reckless habits. Then there's Camila, the sharp-tongued artist Isla can't stop thinking about, even as she finds herself falling into something dangerous with Luca. As her world spirals, Isla is forced to confront painful truths-about her mental health, her sexuality, and whether she wants to live the life scripted for her or write her own. But breaking free means risking everything, including the love of the parents who never truly saw her. Would you like me to expand on any part-maybe add more about her friendships, family dynamics, or her journey toward healing?❤️🩹 She's a ♐️ her friends a Virgo ♍️ and a Pisces ♓️Complete

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!

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?
