Juliet doesn't know when the spark in her faded.
She doesn't hate her life. She knows she has a lot to be thankful for.
She's got friends, she's got hobbies she enjoys, she's got a job that she doesn't completely despise, and miraculously her relationship with her family managed to survive her transition mostly intact.
So why does she feel like she's just treading water?
Why does she feel too exhausted to ever fight for herself?
Fiona is the perfect girl. She's caring, confident, outgoing, adventurous and unbelievably beautiful. She's everything Juliet wishes she was, but knows she can never be...
And yet, Fiona is absolutely smitten with her, and Juliet can't figure out why...
Through a lot of soul-searching, gay kissing, nerves and scuba diving, Juliet is going to have to do what she thought she'd done years ago...
Figure out what she really wants.
Is it too late?
Has she sunk too far into her own anxiety?
Will Fiona be the one who's able to bring her to the surface? Or is Juliet doomed to sink forever?
    
CW: The main character is a dysphoric trans woman, and the story does talk fairly openly about her own internal struggles

Second Ave Offices: The Time In Between (WLW) by Sora-The-Runaway

Fiona Kokkinos is a third generation Greek immigrant whose family came over for a work and land opportunities in the late 1800s. Now in the present, she is a successful therapist and works out of a building sharing some kind of comic book company, which tends to garner her attention relatively often. However, not for the reason she ever believed possible. After a chance encounter with one of the employees at the comic book suites on the first floor, Fiona finds herself spiraling toward something she never saw coming and must decide if she can truly, wholeheartedly open herself up to her life's new, seemingly boundless possibilities. Kanda Boom-Nam moved to the US nearly six months ago and despite it being a whirlwind of emotion and loss when first arriving, now she has found her own. She has everything working for her. She has a lucrative career as an artist for Hiyama Studios, an studio apartment that was all her own and something she'd never had in Thailand with all her siblings, and there was no shortage of gorgeous biking and hiking trails in Seattle. She has it all, yet something was missing and she soon discovers it in the form of a strangely introverted woman who catches her fancy by complete happenstance. Fiona, contrite over her ethics in taking Kanda as a client when she so blatantly flirts with her regularly, must navigate this newly burgeoning sensation before Kanda leaves her world forever in the form of one dilemma neither anticipated even more than falling for one another.

Borrowed Time Part 2 by stolenknights

**THIS IS THE SECOND PART OF BORROWED TIME, PART ONE IS ALREADY ON MY PAGE!** Juliette Smith is aware that everything she does is on borrowed time. Her popularity, her relationship with her father, with her friends... all of it is on borrowed time. Her existence as she knows it is so fragile. With the revelation of one secret, all of it could go up in flames, but there's never been any reason for her to disclose it, and there has been every reason for her to hide it; it protects her image. Esme Panchak is, by definition, a poison to her image. She is everything that Juliette isn't. She's undermotivated, crass, and unapologetically her own person. She's everything that Juliette has trained herself to loathe, and everything she has successfully avoided for three years... but she's enchanting, enticing. Whenever they're together, she can feel her grip slipping bit by bit. So, when Juliette ends up stuck with Esme as her lab partner, she realizes just how quickly the secrets she's trying to outrun can catch up with her. Haha had to split it into 2 parts... APPARENTLY Wattpad only allows for 200 chapters per book, silly me, silly me.

[FULL KELS SERIES] When Ande wakes up on the bottom of the ocean with a fish's tail, she's not sure what she did wrong. Getting sacrificed by her island is a likely bet, but why---and why her---is a mystery. Out of her depth in an unfamiliar world, she soon finds herself wrapped up in the society of the Kels, the people who live under the sea. Desperate to get back to her island, she strikes an agreement with a squid-tailed boy whose sunny smile and knowledge of her language are a welcome assistance at first. Soon, though, she begins to sense that he's hiding something. Things take a turn for the worse when her way home gets complicated by the Kels' wars and several eerie myths about her people that may not be myths at all. The history of the Kels goes back farther than her own culture, and the harder she struggles to get back to land, the more the question arises: Does she belong in the water after all? ❖❖❖ Marked mature for darker themes and scenes, not spicy content.

From birth, Trinity saw the world differently than her peers. Not that she knew much of her peers in her childhood as she was home-schooled. However, that's all in the past. She has her own business, works hard and all-in-all, she's happy. For the most part, that is. As long as she still has her seclusion for which she has worked hard and values above all else, then she will be fine. If people would just stay away... Leah has been blind her entire life but never let it hold her back as she embraced it with open arms. She hasn't ever known any differently and life is great. Or at least, it could be with these new changes. Moving to a new town, Leah is excited to begin a new life, but her family isn't exactly shy about their protectiveness of her. If only she could be somewhere, anywhere where people would treat her just as they would anyone else. As their paths cross, Leah and Trinity's lives are forever changed, some changes for the better and others still up for debate. People can sometimes surprise us in the most exhilarating of ways, however, and they are just about to find out exactly why.

Ocean Blue | gxg ✓ by Olivaughn

[Wattpad's Summer Reading Checklist 2022 Pick] "'Hella heavy' is your response to seeing me with a literal fish tail?" "Sorry. Should ... should it be something else? Wait, does this mean that you can't eat sushi?" * * * * * When Alyssa shows up in Hulhazy Front a week after wiping the memory of her partner, she's terrified of ruining everything again. Her brother and dad are convinced she'll be okay as soon as she's able to "move on", which makes no sense to her, because they sound like the exact same thing. Alyssa doesn't care about moving on--she just cares about hiding the fact that she's a mermaid from this new small town, and especially her new coworker, Elliot. Elliot has spent the past year trying to figure out how to be out. It seems that every time she finds some kind of balance, something has to happen. Her parents say something homophobic before she's about to confess her "big secret," or her old friends from the swim team make some jab about all the things they're convinced Elliot did sophomore year. She's planning on her summer consisting of working at the public pool, hiding her sexuality, and third-wheeling it up with her best friends, Neema and Duncan. Until, of course, she meets Alyssa. *cover created using graphics from freepik*

Swimming against the tide of expectations, the young men set a course through sex, drugs and Bowie concerts, an outlet from a world that doesn't understand them. But weighted under the pressure of maintaining a double life, Aaron sinks into a deep depression. When a shocking incident puts his life in perspective, Aaron must decide whether staying silent and invisible is worth losing the only love he has ever known for.

She parties and drinks and sleeps around, she's a free spirit. Apparently I've got the perfect life, but why do I still think about that kiss with her? Why do I wish I could have that type of feelings for my own boyfriend? Why can't I stop thinking about her all the time? She's just my best friend though... right...?
