Protecting her own mental health is the only thing important to Gansey. After a childhood of extreme stress so intense that her teeth are practically carved and ruined from grinding them due to anxiety, Gansey is now a grown adult who is free to make her own choices.

Twenty four years old, and a lonely hairstylist, Gansey has created a daily routine for herself so that no one and nothing can damage her mental state again.  It doesn't matter to her how extreme her actions are, so long as her mind does not get hurt.

So, when twenty-eight year old Maddie, who just so happens to be a nurse, decides to accept Gansey as a temporary roommate while she gets back on her feet from a nasty divorce from an abusive man, she is appalled by just how Gansey lives her life. Maddie can't stand how Gansey treats her own body, and the longer they live together, the more she can't help but to get involved in Gansey's life.

Gansey, not used to anyone being interested or concerned for her, refuses to open up to Maddie. She's certain befriending anyone only leads to mental catastrophe, and it is the one thing she refuses to fall victim to.

But she doesn't consider the possibility that Maddie has issues of her own, and her issues may just ruin Gansey's routine, and mental state for good.All Rights Reserved

Because You're Different ✔ by ErinMandel

What if your body doesn't always do what you want it to do? For June, this isn't a question, but a daily reality. As a fourteen-year-old with cerebral palsy, frequently dropping stuff and being stared at by complete strangers is nothing out of the ordinary. Other than that, life is great, until her parents decide to move to California. With all her friends miles away and nobody there to protect her from boys stealing your lunch, school becomes a lot more complicated than it had been. Then, she befriends Sam Redstone, a shy boy who'd always been invisible to others. June's days improve drastically with Sam by her side, and when she meets his older brother Nathan, she finally believes her cousin Valentina might have been right about sexy California guys. Slowly, she and Nathan develop a unique friendship, one that, June finds herself hoping, might someday turn into something more. But as the years go by, she's starting to think she might never be with him that way, or with any other man for that. Started: 29 January 2019 Completed: 16 May 2020

Leaking Infinity by tisiclem

Camberlyn is no ordinary girl; his name's actually Cameron, but no one knows that yet, not even himself. Adjusting to college life has had no hitches so far, but then, he realises 3 things: 1. He's into Rachel, an awesome new close friend of his; 2. Rachel is, for some reason, into Cameron as well, and; 3. They're together now, even if they're the only ones who know it. Oh, and they're roommates. (Oh my God, they're roommates.) Now, Cameron has to juggle between maintaining a secret relationship, reconnecting with an estranged family member and an estranged friend, not to mention hiding his "I have a girlfriend" situation from his parents. And also his "I'm into girls" situation. But of course, everything's not fine, even if Cameron pretends it is. When he has to choose between keeping his parents happy and keeping his own happiness, he has to learn how useless it is to pretend to be Camberlyn, before the choice is taken from him. .
