Our Little Miracle Storm
On a freezing winter night, Zayn and Liam discover an abandoned baby in a trash bin-naked, severely hypothermic, and with his umbilical cord still attached. From that moment on, their lives are changed forever. They name the little boy Harry and adopt him with all their hearts. One year later, the fragile infant has grown into a lively, clever, and cheeky little boy who challenges his dads every day with his curiosity and unique way of seeing the world. Diagnosed early with autism and Asperger's syndrome, Harry develops differently from other children: faster, more intensely, and sometimes harder to grasp-but always full of wonder. He speaks in full sentences, thinks in complex connections, and his curiosity keeps him moving every second. Harry loves asking questions, trying out new words, and surprising his two dads with wild imagination, dry comments, and sudden hugs-making them laugh and marvel in equal measure. But not everything is easy: between overwhelmed pediatricians, clueless outsiders, and Harry's very own perspective on life, Zayn and Liam often reach their limits. Their love for Harry is unconditional-but they must learn not to change him, but to understand him.Complete
Wild Hearts
Anxious. Alone. Afraid. Aiden Griffin never asked to be any of these things, but they define his existence, shaping every moment, ruining any chance for connections, and carving deeper into him with every passing day. His life is a quiet battle, one fought in solitude-lost in the woods, wandering through forgotten cemeteries, and navigating the decaying corners of an uncaring city. He's far from the world that's hurt him, but the words still haunt, sharp and unforgiving. Isolated by the cruelty of those around him, Aiden often feels like an outsider, his mind swirling with thoughts that others can't understand. His autism makes it harder to connect, leaving him drifting in the shadows, struggling to navigate a world that feels overwhelming and unkind. His parents are distant, and no one at school seems to notice that the golden boy everyone admires is the one person Aiden fears most. Then comes Ryder McCallum-charismatic, wild, and fearless. With a smile that could charm anyone and a penchant for adventure and bold risks, Ryder steps into Aiden's life like a whirlwind, challenging everything he's ever known. Ryder dares Aiden to step beyond the cage of his own fears, to be something more than the walls he's built around himself. But Aiden is wary, his heart too tethered to its darkness to trust the light Ryder brings. With every reckless adventure they embark on, Aiden starts to wonder if maybe, just maybe, he's meant for something more. As their friendship evolves into something more profound than either of them anticipated, Aiden finds himself drawn to Ryder, a boy as unpredictable as he is magnetic-a boy who slips away just as quickly as he arrives, leaving Aiden to question if he's chasing a dream. But no matter how elusive Ryder becomes, one thing remains undeniable: for the first time, Aiden feels alive with a love that makes him believe in something greater than himself, and he'll do whatever it takes to hold on.Complete![Sweet As Sugar (BxB) [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/171907494-256-k766473.jpg)

He's passionate, intense, and when he's good, he's everything. But when he's not... he's cruel in quiet ways. With words that cut. With silences that scream. With promises that make her stay. Because love is supposed to hurt a little, isn't it? When Jaxon crosses a line she didn't know she had, Evelyn runs-with no plan, no bag, just a cracked phone and shaking hands. She ends up on her brother Jake's doorstep. Safe, but not whole. Then there's Kade. Jake's best friend. Her childhood tease turned quiet protector. He sees too much-asks too little. And something about the way he looks at her makes it hard to breathe. Living with them was meant to be temporary. But Jaxon still calls. Still says all the right things. And Evelyn can't stop loving him-not really. Not yet. As the past claws at her and something softer begins to bloom between whispered conversations and lingering glances, Evelyn is forced to choose: the man who once felt like gravity... or the one who makes her feel weightless.
