Eirielle used to find magic in words. As a feature writer in their campus publication, writing was once her escape, not until the pressure to be "enough" swallowed her whole. Caught between deadlines and expectations, she was burned out quietly, slowly losing her spark, one unfinished draft at a time.
Then Aurelius came, the quiet graphic artist with a sketchpad in one hand and a calm presence that feels like a breath of fresh air. He's not loud. Not flashy. But his steady support begins to stir something in her, something warm, something unfamiliar. As Eirielle rediscovers her passion for writing, she starts to wonder, what if healing and love are both found between the lines?

cover by @summerafterglow 𝐆𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐥 It's so much easier to spread lies about people than it is to spread the truth. That's what Gabriel knows to be true, at least. According to everyone in his town, he's a monster. He doesn't deserve to be walking among the rest of them. That's far from the truth, though. He was never good at being alone, but it became something he was used to. After everything he'd gone through, he craved solitude. Until she showed up. She wiggled her way right into his heart and now all he craved was her. 𝐀𝐥𝐲𝐧𝐚 Moving to a small lakeside town in Washington was not where Alyna saw her life taking her. She also didn't expect that she'd fall so hard for the brooding mechanic who lived there. Everyone tells her that she should stay away from him. All of the rumors say that he's dangerous, but all she ever feels with him is safe. With obstacles at every turn, will their love be enough to endure even the worst challenge they'll face? Or will they fall apart under the weight? started: 12/15/2023 published: 05/18/2024 completed: highest rankings: #2 bwwm #4 ongoingComplete
Aurelia
Her name was written in golden ink, and nothing would ever be the same. Aurelia never imagined her quiet life would matter to anyone-until the Quill of Calling inscribed her name in glowing gold, marking her as chosen. Now she's a student at Crowned Star University, an ethereal academy hidden far from the world she knew, where future royals and magical beings are shaped into something greater. Within its velvet-draped halls, she finds freedom for the first time... and something else stirring-something forgotten, blooming slowly inside her. Her magic doesn't follow rules. It pulses with emotion, echoing fear, softness, longing. It reacts to dreams. To safety. To pain. And to them. There are whispers about the four princes-each one cloaked in power, mystery, and something she can't quite name. Wind, shadow, light, and stone. Their eyes linger too long. Their presence shifts the air. And somehow, without meaning to, Aurelia begins to belong to places-and people-she never thought would see her. But when a cursed book begins to pull on her soul, and a ghost starts whispering truths no one else dares speak, Aurelia must decide who she is: the girl who was written in gold... or the one who will rewrite the story entirely. * * * Contains age regression, mental health issues, graphic scenes, abuseComplete

Then came the fight. Then the silence. Then... the other girl. And everything changed. Some loves are tender. Some are toxic. Some last for as long as you stay.Complete

The Professor and I
"Fuck, why do you always make things so hard Rayne?" he stood there with an intense frown on his face. "What do you mean Spencer?" I crossed my arms. "You always run away," he now held a sad face.

"I could care less about the damn outcome." he made direct eye contact with me. "I- I think I fucking love you."

Elizabeth Morgan knows what it means to survive. She endured the slow erosion of self-worth under a charming but controlling partner. After leaving Daniel, the man who quietly broke her spirit, her heart quite literally gave out. Diagnosed with stress-induced heart failure, she faced a year of limbo-grieving what was, fearing what's next, and clinging to the fragile hope of a transplant. Two years later, Elizabeth has a new heart and a quiet life. She's rebuilt from the ground up, choosing safety over risk, solitude over vulnerability. Love is no longer a part of the plan. Then she meets John Pearson-a warm, grounded literature professor who doesn't ask her to be anything more than she already is. What begins as a gentle friendship rooted in books and easy conversation begins to stir something deeper. But vulnerability is its own risk. As their bond grows, so do the fears Elizabeth thought she'd buried-fears of loss, of being broken again, of not surviving a second time. When John offers a love that feels steady and true, Elizabeth is faced with a question she never thought she'd ask again: Can she give her heart to someone new, knowing how fragile it's become-and how much it cost to start over? What the Heart Remembers is a story of resilience, healing, and the quiet courage it takes to open your heart again. Tender, hopeful, and emotionally rich, it's a celebration of second chances and love that's truly earned.Complete

Beneath The Silence
Love sometimes begins with a sentence. But their story began long before a single word was ever spoken... Eren Kara-28 years old, intelligent, profound, and passionate, a literature professor whose life had always been in harmony with words. But there were some feelings no book could ever describe. And Lara Ravenshade-19, just starting university, introverted, yet speaking volumes with her eyes. When she walked into the classroom with her waist-length red hair, she had no idea where her heart was about to lead her. Time didn't stop at first glance. The world didn't change. But something cracked in the walls inside Eren. Everything in the classroom was ordinary... Except Lara was there. And her silence began to echo in the quiet corners of Eren's heart-the parts that hadn't spoken in years. This is not just the story of a love.

The story of two lonely souls, who-without a single touch-learned to hold onto one another in a world that watched too closely. Passion doesn't always scream. Desire doesn't always rush. Some loves grow only in the deepest quiet... And sometimes, a single look... Can rewrite the fate of an entire life...
REPAIR ME (BWWM)
Completed ✅️ Nora desires two things, finishing her degree in creative writing and saving enough to finally be free from her mother's abuse. So she's not prepared for the unexpected meltdown of her one safe space on wheels or the silent brute mechanic who's chosen to repair the damages. What happens when Nora, who isn't seeking a relationship, falls into the orbit of Mr. Silent, James? The universe moves galaxies to bring the two into each other's worlds. James sets out to fix what is broken, but along the way, repairs so much more. ~~~ James let's go of me and spread my folds apart with his thumbs. I feel as he spits on my pussy and before it can slide all the way down he flattened his tongue rolling the center around my clit. Each circle around rubs his piercing in a way that feels like the best feeling imaginable. "Shit slow down." I beg because the way he's ravishing me feels too much. I try to move away from his mouth but James just holds me down, palm flat on my stomach. "Where do you think your going?" "Its too much." I plead to him. "You know what to say baby if you want me to stop." He pauses as if to create space for me to say my safe word. But I don't. "That's what I thought. Stay still and let me finish."
