"Small world," Jon said, his eyes crinkling faintly.
"Yeah."
Ella's tone was flat. But there was something about the way he looked at her, just like he'd noticed something under the surface. It softened her voice despite herself. "Weird coincidence."
Jon smirked. "Weird? Or fate?"
Ella rolled her eyes, but the corner of her mouth twitched. "Definitely weird."
When Ella meets Jon, she's drowning in a past she can't escape. He's everything she shouldn't want: charismatic, spontaneous - married. But in his presence, she feels alive, if only for a moment.

The Choices I've Made (By the Bay #1)
Twelve years ago, he drove away with my heart in his hands. I've moved on since then. Or so I thought. Growing up in a small town, there weren't too many options when it came to friends. But, even in a sea of a million, I'd always choose Jake Jameson. I felt safe with him. Safe with my secrets, my dreams and eventually - my heart. I thought we'd have forever together. That was a long time ago. I thought I'd forgotten those piercing blue eyes and the sound of his laugh. I tried to obliterate the memory of his touch from my mind. But, one single glance, as he stands at my door, twelve years later, and I'm suddenly transported back to a simpler time when love was easy, and my heart was whole. The problem? I'm marrying his best friend.Complete
Finding my Freak
This takes place in and around the same time as s4 but without any of the Vecna stuff. I let them live a carefree life in this one!

Oc because I don't really like the y/n angle myself. Warning! Adult content! Vaginal sex, oral (m&f), fingering, orgasm (m&f), descriptive m&f nudity and some strong language English isn't my first language so please excuse any and all mistakes in grammar, spelling or weird use of the language in general. I hope you enjoy this, I'm working on some more along the same lines aswell <3 /JennieComplete
Ending Silence
"Dude! You have to give me some warning before you do that" I scowl before glaring at him. Only he mirrors my glare, and I go confused. "What's wrong?" I ask. "I'm not your friend. Don't call me dude" He mutters. "You talked!" I gasp, sitting up straight in the bed. Only the room spins slightly, and Sage pushes me back down. I then register what he said, and my smile fades away. "I know, sorry" I mumble. Sage sighs, and suddenly my jaw is being grabbed, and before I can even begin to register what's happening, he kisses me. "Not your friend" He whispers. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Morgan Price. A woman who never shuts up. Sage Hendrix. A man who rarely talks. What a match. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• When Morgan makes an impulsive decision to join a fucking mafia, she meets Sage, a man who intimidates people with just one look. As time goes on, her attraction and curiosity for him grows. Little does she know he's facing the same problem. (Hendrix #5) ☆Written:03/2023☆ ☆Not edited☆Complete

Silence And Honey
Silence and Honey I talked enough for both of us. He listened like he might never let go. Runerth Castellion was the boy with the sharpest eyes and the quietest heart. He didn't talk much-didn't smile much either. But he always showed up. For me. I had known him since we were twelve. Since I decided I was going to be his friend, whether he wanted one or not. I was the chatterbox play school teacher who sings songs about dinosaurs and glue sticks. He was the grumpy heir to a mafia empire no one talks about out loud and a CEO of a heritage company. We were never meant to fit but we did and we did not at the same time. All that until the fate tested us. Tested me. In a world where healing feels impossible, our bond became a refuge, a promise that no matter how dark the night, dawn was waiting. This is a story about the strength found in vulnerability, the power of a patient heart, and the beautiful, messy journey toward a love that saves.
