10 years after graduation leaves Rachel Moreno longing for stardom in secret. When the most popular guy in high school runs into Rachel at one of her gigs, she is thrown for a loop. He's not the shining, vibrant, annoyingly handsome man she used to know. But now a shy librarian working at the community college that is still somehow annoyingly handsome. There is something different in him now, something missing.
10 years after graduation leaves Eli Sorenson tired of performing for the same crowds over and over again. When he runs into someone familiar from high school, he is left instantly breathless. But she's not buying it at all. Why hadn't he noticed her before?
As Rachel learns to regain hope and Eli wrestles with parts of himself he has kept hidden, the opposite two find themselves magnetically drawn to each other. An unexpected connection. Eli offers to help Rachel gain her confidence and hope into making a name for herself. The two begin to share scripts, late-night rehearsals, and vulnerable hope. But when old fears and new opportunities come up, they must choose: is this fleeting connection built on history they never were able to experience? Or the beginning of something worth staying for?

The Tea Shop [mxm]
Elliot is, and has always been, stuck in his home town. Sure, it's a fairly large city. Sure, all his family and friends are there. Sure, he has a job he absolutely adores. But he still isn't happy. No matter how much he loves working in Auntie Mae's Tea shop, baking cakes day in and day out, he can't find it in himself to be happy. He knows exactly what's wrong; he has a dream. His dream is to one day move to Paris and open his own bakery. Baking is his passion, and he wants to devote his life to it. The only problem is that he can't seem to get away from his current life to start a new one. He once told himself his studies were holding him back. When he was done with those, he used the excuse of renovating the entire Tea Shop. Then, when he finally couldn't find any more excuses, he gave up. He knew he was waiting for something to happen. The problem? He didn't know what. But what about that man who recently started visiting the shop? He definitely wasn't one of the regulars; his face, you would recognize. He comes every evening at six o'clock, and stays for an hour. Could he be what Elliot is waiting for? *Deals with self-esteem issues which I've been told might be triggering*Complete
I Thought You'd Never Love Me
What happens when the person you've tried hardest to forget walks back into your life... just when your heart starts to hope again? Aria never believed in love. Not because she hadn't been loved, but because she was afraid-afraid of the kind of love that breaks people apart. Rayyan, on the other hand, had loved her since college, in silence and in storms. Years later, a wedding brings them under the same roof again, stirring memories, jealousy, and emotions that were never really buried. With Zoya-their shared connection, a best friend and a sister-at the center of it all, their tangled hearts must find a way through past wounds, buried fears, and the one kiss that changed everything. A slow-burn, heart-warming story of longing, vulnerability, and learning that sometimes... the right kind of love waits until you're ready to feel it.Complete

β¬ πππ π»ππ£π οΌ πππππ₯ πππ£πππ€ β¬ There is a crucial moment in one's life that determines the outcome of everything; well, as books and movies would have you believe. But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be. State by state, with each border they cross, Monica liberates her true self. πΉπ π π β π π β - βπ ππ‘πππ₯π - β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ β« β¬ This is a work of fiction.

Accidentally more than expected
Zola has a plan: focus on her physics degree, keep her head down, and-most importantly-ignore the small but persistent voice inside her that longs for something sweeter. Like baking. Like a life outside of lab reports and academic expectations. Tobby has no plan-at least, not one he chose. As the eldest son of the prominent Ashford family, he's supposed to follow in his father's footsteps, uphold the legacy, and meet every expectation set for him. But ever since his father's passing, he's been stuck in a life that feels more like an obligation than a choice. When Zola and Tobby's paths cross-first at a chaotic sports event, then at a beachside resort, and again on campus-they don't expect much from each other. A few jokes, maybe. A little teasing. But as their accidental meetings turn into something more, they start to realize that sometimes, life has a way of surprising you. And love? Love might just be the biggest surprise of all.Complete
