Embrace the Sky | ✔ by indigosa

Love is in the air── it has always been── since the day Amaya came into Rae's life, and it has only grown stronger over the years as their boundaries as friends grew some wiggle room. Despite her feelings, Rae has never allowed herself to entertain the idea of breaking the boundaries altogether and turning their relationship into something more, but when a determined Amaya confesses her romantic intentions, will Rae embrace it or find a way to keep herself grounded? © 2021 Indigo Ivy Salamander / @indigosa All Rights Reserved ----- Featured as an ONC 2021 Ambassador's Pick by @OpenNovellaContest.

Arsonist's Lullaby (mxm) by sweetcaressesofmay

𝘽𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙄𝙄𝙄 𝙤𝙛 𝙂𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙁𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 The bad news: Phoenix has turned into gold. The good news: so have their enemies. It's also possible that apart from their group of three, so have the rest of the human kind. Meanwhile, in the cottage, life more or less goes on. As Najwa mourns both her mom and the loss of her closest friend, Rain can't tear his gaze away from the golden remnants of their enemies and Rio does their best to keep everyone fed and healthy. Aspen isn't much help, not when he is holed up in his room, terrified of the power he holds. It's been said that you only realize the importance of someone when they're gone. Whether or not that is true, Aspen would give his life to get Phoenix back. There's guilt, undoubtedly, but also the fact that he has a huge crush on him. They have never even had the chance to kiss or confess their feelings, and that's just tragic. But hey, there's always a chance for a long-distance relationship. As you might imagine, the connection from one world to another isn't ideal. But if they can make it work, there's a chance to return Phoenix and the rest of the infected back to life.

Kisses & Contracts || LGBTQ by raincloudwrites

Milo and Cameron are best friends accustomed to Milo oversharing about his BDSM lifestyle so it throws everything off when Cameron asks Milo to teach him. (Category is romance because structurally, that's the kind of story it is! It's about two people growing closer and more intimate, finding a relationship that works for them, but they are aromantic so it's a story about love, but not romantic love. It's about how strong and intimate relationships can be anywhere on the aroace spectrums.)

Oceans to Trees by PineconeCelery

I'm aroace. I like romance novels. As you can imagine, there isn't much representation for that in such a genre, so I created my own. This is the story of Katie (our aroace queen) as she finds a person she actually wants to spend forever with. There aren't enough stories that show the love that can be given even when aromantic. However this is also the story of Jordan, and you will hear from both characters throughout the story. In the original document, the speaker is denoted by different colored text. Here, bold = Jordan, and not bold = Katie. I have 125 pages written so far, and I decided to share it because young me would have benefited from reading something like this. Some of the stuff we will tackle: depression from being in the Navy, discovering sexuality and the very real feelings that come with that, gender stuff, long-distance struggles, QPRs, the struggles of intimacy when asexual... etc. If there is a tag that you don't think belongs, it is because it hasn't come up in the story yet. Mature tag coming much much later. Also, all the pictures are coming from my battles with Google's Gemini generative AI application. Updated 12/10

Hinged, Grown and Sexy by HiPaul2

Divine Jackson is driven. She's always had people to take care of, and that list barely included herself. So, it was hard making any room for a man between her family and her work. But with her best friend's wedding coming up, Divine can't be the maid of honor without a date. Online dating is a quick solution, just as long as love can take a backseat. Eli Thomas is patient. He's been stuck thinking about the mouthy girl from college that ghosted him, but she's a woman now. After spending time abroad with work, his best friend's wedding is the perfect time to find a new flame... or rekindle an old one. Except, she might not be so willing to make room for him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The cover and the story are created by me, so please uphold the copyright (ALL RIGHTS RESERVED). Thanks for the support. This is the SECOND INSTALLMENT of my interconnected standalone series. It's best to read the first book, Tinder, Love and Care before starting this one, but you can read it out of order.

Mask of Celibacy by Carolyn_Hill

In the late nineties asexuality is all but ignored as an orientation. Jess doesn't understand her complex array of emotions or why she finds it so hard to relate to her fellow classmates. Catholic high schools and churches simply don't address the issue, and the internet is still nascent. Jess can't tell anyone the truth. Not even her best friend Care. Instead, she hides behind the guise of faith. Behind a mask of celibacy. Until she meets Eric, that is. He lets slip that he's asexual, and Jess wants to learn more. --- Watty Winner 2021 for best cover, best YA, and the Wattpad Books prize! --- Status: completed and unedited Rating: PG-15 for moderate language and frank discussions about sexuality Genre: teen fiction romance featuring two heteroromantic ace characters --- Cover designed using Canva Pro August 2020 --- Please note: This work is a teen fiction novelization of my multimedia novella "Mask of Celibacy".
