Percy would rather freestyle-dance to TikTok hits in his bedroom than face his soul‑sapping tech‑support day‑job or, worse, the minefield that is modern queer dating. But one London scorcher of a day, everything conspires against his twenty-somethings introvert bubble:
😶🌫️ Existential dread? Very present.
💋Best‑friend Anna? Dragging him to his mum's wine‑soaked girls' night.
😳Cute stranger at the door? Yeah, that too.
By midnight Percy's wondering if he just met the guy who might shatter his "happily being single" act if only he can remember their conversation tomorrow.
Equal parts chaotic comedy, found‑family warmth, and queer‑millennial yearning, Episode One kicks off What Comes After Maybe with stubborn self‑sabotage, shameless oversharing, and the tiniest spark of "what if...?" Perfect for readers who crave messy, grown‑up queer stories where love arrives unfiltered spilled wine, Maltesers, and all.

Housemates
Ellie has been not-quite-flirting with her housemate’s friend Mia, and not really thinking too much about it, until one day Mia offers to follow through on the flirting. Ellie is surprised, but decides she’d like to try, and slowly a relationship begins to evolve. Mostly a physical relationship, and a confused relationship, but it seems to work for both of them. Um, oops, so I forgot to change this part. I'm sorry! So this is finished for now, but might come back later, and sorry if that seems to be kind of teasey. Because, erm, well, it is… And also, so this is now made into ebooks, which are now on Amazon and Smashwords and other places. And as paper on Amazon. Should anyone care about that, because if you're reading this right now you've probably realized you can read it on Wattpad... so um, yeah. That doesn't quite make sense... But! Just to be clear, all the words are exactly the same, there's no difference or anything, so don't think it's been edited or something. And just to be confusing they’re called Touching Mia and Tasting Mia, because it all went a long way away from being about housemates, really. And two books, because this got really long. So anyway... Touching Mia - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I3OWFWG Tasting Mia - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I3J93EY And thank you for looking! And thank you to everyone who's reading it, I'm incredibly grateful! And I hope you enjoy! That's all.Complete
The Art of Pretending (Anna Shumate & Sabrina Quesada)
Anna Shumate is broke, unemployed, and completely winging adulthood from a New York City townhouse she shares with her friends. When everyone bails on her for the night, she does what any desperate extrovert would do: crash an exclusive art gala for the free wine using an old membership card left behind by a former roommate. She's almost caught and denied entry... until a cold, striking stranger slides in beside her and pretends to be her plus-one. Enter Sabrina Quesada: a fiercely driven artist with a sharp tongue and no patience for roadblocks, including Anna. But the universe (and the internet) has other plans. After their pretend couple act goes unexpectedly viral, Anna and Sabrina are stuck keeping up appearances for connections, clout, and increasingly complicated feelings. What starts as a one-night con spirals into a slow-burn romance neither of them saw coming. After all, the art of pretending is easy... until it starts to feel real.

About staying close even when your heart wants to run. This story follows Pansa and Loveruk. Two people who were almost something for a long time. They become real friends.
