Lam, the confident yet flighty artist. Black Caribbean, 27, femme nonconforming, queer, neurodivergent.
P, the steadfast yet insecure up and coming musician. Black Caribbean, 28, trans masc/nonbinary, queer, autistic.
She is like the ocean, they are like the beach. Stone and sea, never too far, always gliding back and forth.
It seemed only a matter time before they fell in love. Fire, air, and the care to burn up without burning down.
But when Lam gets an offer to move across the world for her work, will their love hold water? Or will their fears hold them back from finding the deep?
Two Black queers who find comfort in each other, in their community, and who understand love requires both mutual definition, as well as individual discovery.
A tale full of romance, communication, healing and growing, and a few other finer things....
Not a traumatizing, distressing story! Because we deserve gentle, passionate Black/queer romance without unnecessary drama too! 💗💗💗

Seeing Red
The Rosewood Mirage was built as a symbol of lavish lifestyles and the achievements of mankind. A hotel of this altitude could never be just a simple destination. You didn't even want to go to the Rosewood Mirage. Not at all. Especially not for your stupid sister's stupid engagement party to her stupid fiance. Of course it would end in disaster. After an avalanche makes leaving the hotel impossible and a body is discovered, you're stuck with hundreds of people living in fear, waiting for either rescue teams or the murderer. Its okay, though. Because you met Aldric, the nice trans guy living in the boiler rooms. He became the one person you could genuinely trust in the whole hotel. With your mother constantly breathing down your neck, your father crumbling at any pressure, your psychopathic sister demanding the perfect wedding, and your ex best friend lusting for the last person you'd ever guess, you just didn't know if you'd make it out or the Rosewood Mirage alive. ***** Inspired by The Sanatorium by Sarah Pearse. Another story by Ginger. This love interest is transgender, so any homophobic comments will be automatically deleted. Do not forget that your author is transgender. Side note, the reader in this story deals with sensory issues, similar to ones that I deal with myself. You'll notice its a common theme in the story. I portrayed living with sensory issues as best I could. Do not forget that I am human. Do not forget that I make mistakes. Because a story that I wrote does not line up with you does not mean that I'm purposefully excluding certain readers because of race, gender, and sexuality. Cover art by me. Have a nice day!Complete

Two Heartbeats on One Page
Jordan's in love with two people (who are in love with each other), he hasn't spoken to his parents in five years, and despite working almost sixty hours a week, he's still ages away from having enough to pay for the three surgeries he needs to complete his gender confirmation. This would be a problem anywhere, but particularly so in small-town, homophobic Arizona. He needs a vacation. Darcey's been discharged from the Army after knowing nothing else for eight years, he's unemployed, and, at twenty-seven years old, he has no choice but to move back in with his parents. Since his discharge was dishonorable, he doesn't even have health insurance to treat his PTSD. He just needs some time to get back on his feet and reconnect with his family. Instead, they find each other. When Jordan takes Darcey home from a party, they mean it to be a one-night stand, but they turn out to be too compatible to want to give each other up. Neither wants a relationship, but a straightforward, no-strings-attached friends-with-benefits setup will keep things nice and neat, right? Nope. Instead, everything gets messier. The third and final book in the Holding Our Hearts In Our Hands series. Cover by the super talented MargaretSmoke! Thank you!: https://www.wattpad.com/user/MargaretSmokeComplete
