Maria Garme has always found solace in words. Poetry spills from her like a confession, each stanza stitched with longing, loss, and the quiet ache of a girl who has spent her life on the outside looking in. She doesn't expect anyone to truly understand her-not her absent mother, not her well-meaning but struggling father, and certainly not the enigmatic boy who watches her from across the room at poetry night.

Abel Iglesias is all sharp edges and unspoken pain, a storm bottled up in a boy who drowns his emotions in music and midnight skating. The city is his escape, the stars his only witnesses-until Maria steps into his world. Their connection is undeniable, intense, and terrifying. But love doesn't come easy for two people who have spent their lives running from their pasts.

When secrets unravel and fear pushes them apart, Maria and Abel are forced to confront the truth: love is beautiful, but it is also heavy. And sometimes, the weight of it is enough to break you.

Under the city lights, between whispered poetry and quiet confessions, they must decide-will they keep running, or will they find a way back to each other before it's too late?

A raw, lyrical, and deeply emotional story about love, healing, and the echoes we leave in the hearts of those who truly see us.

faultline (twisted devotion, #1) by luhvbcmb
61 parts Complete Mature
Aurora Kensington has spent years trying to silence the voice in her head-the one that sounds too much like Briar Holloway. The girl who was once her best friend. The girl who came out to her. The girl she pushed away. Now eighteen, Aurora is desperate to prove she's everything she's supposed to be: a good daughter, a devoted Catholic, normal. But no matter how hard she prays, no matter how many rules she follows, she can't shake the feeling that something inside her is broken. And when she sees the lights on in the Holloway house for the first time in years, something deep in her chest stirs. She doesn't know Briar is back. Not until she turns around at a party and finds her standing there. Briar never planned to return to Chapelwood, but with her family drowning in debt and her grandmother's health failing, she had no choice. She tells herself she doesn't care about Aurora anymore-that she only came to this party because she thought it'd be funny. But the second their eyes meet, the past slams into her like a tremor. Old wounds. Old feelings. Ones that never truly faded. Because "love" (if you can call it that) like theirs doesn't disappear. It fractures. It festers. It trembles under the weight of everything unsaid. And if they're not careful, it might just swallow them whole. But none of it truly matters anyway. Not unless Aurora is willing to face the truth about herself. A story about love, sin, and the thin line between devotion and obsession.
Don't Fall Not Yet by ScarlettMoon25
26 parts Ongoing Mature
Moving from Mexico to the wealthy, perfect suburbs of New York, María Hernandez's plan was simple: finish high school, keep her head down, and blend into the background. That plan lasted until she met Marcus Whitmore. Marcus is the town's golden boy-the star quarterback, popular, and untouchable. But the easy smile is a lie. His eyes hold a constant, dangerous storm, his home is full of secrets, and he has sworn off feeling anything real for anyone. The moment their worlds collide, they don't just fall; they break open. María is the calm he never knew he needed, and he's the dangerous chaos she should have run from the second she saw him. This is Don't Fall, Not Yet. Told in dual POV, this story is about the fight for identity, the ugly price of loyalty, and the devastating violence of secrets. It's about the impossible choice between protecting the people you love... and destroying them completely. Mature Audience Warning: 18+ Although María and Marcus's journey begins in high school, it will follow them into adulthood. Expect explicit content, strong language, messy emotions, and raw moments that don't shy away from the real challenges of growing up. I'm doing my best to reflect the richness and challenges of both Mexican and Anglo-American Elite experiences with honesty and care. If I ever miss the mark, please (gently) let me know-I'm always open to learning and doing better. Please read, share, vote, follow, and leave a comment. I'd love to hear your thoughts as you join María and Marcus on this unforgettable journey. © Scarlett Moon, 2025 This is a work of fiction. All rights reserved.

But it wasn't until one harrowing night shattered everything that she finally ran. Now, with a new name and a carefully crafted identity, she's determined to start over in a place where no one knows her past. But the past has a way of finding you-and Angel is about to learn that some scars don't fade, and some secrets refuse to stay buried. ***TRIGGER WARNING: This story deals with heavy topics such as rape and domestic violence. ***
