Liam Cheng has always felt the weight of his Chinese family's expectations in France. Caught between his father's silent support for basketball and his mother's unfulfilled dreams, he reluctantly joins the team, seeing it as another obligation. But when an unexpected accident-rooted in family chaos-leaves him in a wheelchair, everything changes.
As Liam grapples with anger and loss, he faces the harsh reality of a world without basketball, until a gruff coach with a shattered past challenges him to confront his limitations. Through wheelchair basketball, Liam embarks on a tumultuous journey of self-discovery, navigating betrayal, unexpected friendships, and the struggle for identity.
"Dream Above the Rim" is a powerful coming-of-age tale about resilience and the unpredictable journey to find one's true self amidst shattered dreams and renewed hope.

JUST CREEPIN'
"What's wrong ma?" He questioned after a few seconds when she didn't respond to him. "Do you plan on having sex with me." She rested her chin on her knees that were pulled up to her chest. "Why?" He laughed slightly. In a way, he liked watching her struggle to maintain her composure. Jourie loved sex. "Cause I want you to fuck me on the balcony." She smiled softly. --- Jourie had been set up since before she was even thought of. With a mother who owned hair salons, a father who owned auto repair shops, both being scattered all over the map in different locations, and a large family that loves her and vice versa, she had anything a girl could ever wish for and more. She lacked the stereotypical bubbly personality that people assumed came with her and the higher hierarchy status she possessed. Still, she was nothing far from normal.Determined to make her parents proud, jourie always stayed on her best behavior. Straying far away from trouble. Like a record scratching, her life is brought to a halt when jourie has no choice but to face trouble coming for her head on when a new love interest finds a way to creep into her heart. With a strong built family, she learns even the ones who don't share the blood are the closest thing to family you have. So will jourie allow her new and forbidden love interest to shatter the strong built relationship she has with her family, or will her love interest beat her to the catch and do it for her?

Heartless
Luke Kennard is living his dream. He's an NBA rookie, first-round draft pick. So why does he feel so empty? This story is a companion to Bring Me to Life, Still and I'll Find You. If you have not read Bring Me to Life and Still, this story may be somewhat confusing. It takes place at the same time as I'll Find You. The same disclaimers apply to this as the stories listed above; there is profanity and although not explicit, it is very suggestive. In addition, this book contains some themes that are not present in the other books. There are story lines involving deaths, including the death of a child and there is mention of addiction issues. If any of those things trigger you, please be forewarned and message me if you need more information. Also, the medical conditions and information in this story is largely the product of my overactive imagination. I do not pretend to have actual medical knowledge of any of it (tbqh, I probably saw it on TV at some point and adapted it to whatever fit the story). Also, it should go without saying, but this is a work of fiction.Complete

The world is still such a bright place
As a child, Wei Wuxian had been rescued from living on the streets and taken in by the Lans. Being haunted by his past, he slowly got better in the care of everyone in the Cloud Recesses. One day however, he joins in on guest lectures and his whole world turns upside down. OR Wei Wuxian is traumatized, Lan Wangji and Lan Xichen are his caring brothers and Jin Zixuan is an awkward idiot who unconsciously bullies the one he has fallen for until he finally realizes his own feelings. This work is based on request from Olivia Hawkins: "A canon divergence fic where WWX's a blind and a selective mute due to being raped and abused when he was on the streets as a child. Instead of being found by JFM, he's found by QHJ and is taken as a Lan disciple instead. Like LWJ, JZX eventually falls in love with WWX but can't act on his feelings for him because he's engaged to JYL." This fic will contain themes and mentions that may be trigerring, please read the warnings and tags I used and proceed at you own discretion. English is not my first language so I apologize in advance for any mistakes. I am also not very familiar with chinese culture, customs nor naming conventions so this work may in some places not be 100% accurate. I do not own any characters I have used in my story, this is purely a work of fan fiction. Hope you will enjoy reading :)Complete
