NAVIGATING 5 - tadgh lynch
Together through thick and thin since senior infants, Tadgh and Lilibeth are inseparable. What happens when the truth comes out and all of their heavily packed trauma and secrets come out? Will their friendship survive? This is a slow burn. I think I'm going to make another book after this one, and they might not even get together in this book. If they do there will be NO SMUT. Tadgh and Lilibeth are 6-12 in this book, and i don't feel comfortable writing about that stuff when their minors, that being said, keep in mind that for this book Lilibeth and Tadgh are TWELVE. This book is based in 1999-2005, and they aren't 18 until 2011, so womp womp. Most of the storyline belongs entirely to Chloe Walsh, apart from Lilibeth's backstory. All characters apart from Lilibeth, Annalise, Adam and Lilibeth's parents also belong to Chloe Walsh. This whole story is fictional, and any resemblance to people in real life, living or dead, is entirely coincidental. There will be mentions of SA, domestic abuse, drugs, etc. If you don't like or are uncomfortable with the topic, I would not recommend this book. ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴍᴇɴᴛᴀʟ ʜᴇᴀʟᴛʜ ᴍᴀᴛᴛᴇʀꜱ. There wont be trigger warnings at the beginning of chapters.

Missing 9// AJ LYNCH BOT 2nd gen
Bridget Lordan-Dempsey has spent years building walls. Sharp tongue, party-girl reputation, late nights and empty smiles - it's easier to play the screw-up than let anyone see the truth: the scars, the hunger, the constant fear she's already too much and never enough. AJ Lynch has never stopped loving her. Not when she shut him out, not when two years of silence stretched between them, not even when one messy, furious kiss cracked everything wide open again. He hides his feelings under rugby matches, cocky smirks, and bad choices, but Bridget has always been his first weakness. His only weakness. What starts as a reckless deal - rules, secrecy, no feelings - spirals into something neither of them can control. Heated hookups in hidden places turn into movie nights and old treehouse confessions, and every time Bridget swears she's out, AJ pulls her right back in. But loving each other has never been the problem. Trusting each other? Surviving the weight of family, reputation, and the ghosts of their own mistakes? That's what might break them. Because if Bridget lets AJ all the way back in, she knows one truth she can't run from: She won't survive losing him a second time.

Calming 5 (Tadhg Lynch)
--- Just then the door he was heavily leaning on flew inward. "Ronan!" The girl exclaimed in horror as she dropped to her knees beside him. She was the same girl from English who caught my attention earlier, kneeling beside the Rugby Dick, her hands hovering over his broken nose with all the care in the world. Her long hair were sprawled across her shoulders in a way that I couldn't see her face... that was until she looked up at me- shit. --- Tadhg Lynch doesn't do quiet. He hits hard, plays harder, and runs from anything that feels like home. Saoirse McGarry has made 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭 her world. Shy, diabetic, and always a shadow in her brother's world. They were never meant to cross paths until... Tadhg knocks her brother down, and everything changes. A boy who doesn't even take 5 seconds to snap but only lets one girl calm his chaos.
