You're 20, fresh out of your comfort zone and halfway across the world, spending two years in sunny Australia with your aunt. You didn't expect much - just beach days, some quiet, and maybe figuring things out.
What you definitely didn't expect?
To meet your longtime bias, Lee Felix, living just two houses down.
On hiatus.
Very real.
Very charming.
And suddenly... very close.
It starts at a neighborhood BBQ. One awkward smile. One plate of coleslaw. One soft, slow, "Hey."
As your lives start to tangle - through sunset walks, shared playlists, silly jokes, and late-night talks - you go from strangers to friends, and then... maybe something more. Something tender and real and kind.
But love doesn't happen like in the movies. It takes time. Honesty. And the courage to be truly seen.
A soft, slowburn strangers-to-lovers story set under Australian skies. Full of warmth, realism, quiet feelings and a whole lot of heart.
Trigger Warnings:
None major. This story is soft, comforting, and fluff-focused. Mild emotional themes (e.g. homesickness, anxiety, growing up). All handled gently.

Lean On Me | Shane X OC | Stardew Valley
The blood had already leaked down my forehead, but I kept my eyes on Shane and tried to blink quickly to clear my vision. "Hang on, please. Please hang on." He pleaded, holding my body up to a sitting position. I couldn't even remember what had struck me and I was getting nervous by Shane's worried face. "I'm... it hurts." I mumbled. "I'm so sorry." He held me closer. This time tears started to form in his dark green eyes but I could tell Shane didn't want to cry in front of me. My head started to feel more dizzy and I had to give in and close my eyes, much to Shane's dismay and his protests. I probably should've just listened to him from the start when he said don't go outside in this weather, but me being pissy with him and wanting to prove a point- I did and now I'm laying on the wet grass with a gash on my temple and an even bigger one on my leg. "We'll get you to Harvey." Shane said. I could hear his voice break at the end. He picked me up and started walking. "Please wake up." I wanted to so badly but I was exhausted from the hike and spending the night in the cold and shivering for hours. Shane's warm hands under my back and legs already felt way better. "This is all my fault. The one good thing to happen in my life...." Shane let out a sob but never stopped walking. I just wanted to hug him and tell him everything was going to be alright. I could feel the blood still tripping down my leg and face, so I knew I couldn't make false promises but Shane needed me. He needs me. I'm his anchor, I'm the girl he leans on when he's feeling like he's losing. I have to do this. I opened my eyes again. --CW-- Swearing Abuse Drinking NSFW Blood Painful backstories Book cover was done by me but I used a reference from stardewvalleycowboy because i've never drawn Shane before ^^.Complete

CRINGEY FETUS STORY deadass please read one of my other stories this one is so horrible omfg god i fucking hate this book "Whatever, Changbin," Felix sighed, "Stop flirting with me. It's not funny, and our friends aren't even around to be involved in the joke." Changbin leaned in closer to whisper in Felix's ear. "What if it's not a joke?" Both boys noticed the painfully obvious pink tint adorning Felix's cheeks when he asked, "Is it?" Changbin's confidence faltered for a moment when he cast his gaze toward the ground. "Do you want it to be?"
