Between Her Hands and God
In a world that rarely makes room for girls like her, Deejay Jackson moves through life with quiet strength and untold scars. At 20 years old, she's tall, dreadheaded, masc-presenting, and intersex - born with both softness and edge, both woman and something the world struggles to name without shame. After surviving three years of childhood sexual abuse and growing up in a home led by a single mother raising five kids, Deejay has finally started to find her footing - reconnecting with her family, embracing poetry, and slowly letting herself breathe again. Sharon, also 20, comes from a deeply religious Black home where silence is sacred and image is everything. Feminine, sweet, and still figuring herself out, she's known since high school that she likes women. But her family, especially her mother Miss Eleanor, doesn't make space for that kind of truth. Not openly. Not safely. And definitely not when it comes to someone like Deejay. When a summer of chance reunions and unsaid feelings finally brings Deejay and Sharon closer, the chemistry is undeniable - but so is the weight of their worlds. What begins as stolen glances and heartfelt texts blooms into a slow-burn bond thick with tension, poetry, faith, and desire. But their love is shadowed by fear - of rejection, of judgment, of what it means to be fully seen. Through late-night drives, heated game nights, and balcony confessions, they find themselves inching closer - not just to each other, but to the parts of themselves they've both been taught to silence. This is a story of longing and restraint, family chaos and chosen tenderness, faith and unlearning, shame and softness. It's about two Black women navigating what it means to be whole in bodies and homes that have tried to break them. And when they finally meet in the middle - messy, vulnerable, and unafraid - it's not just about falling in love. It's about fighting for the right to.Complete
Unwritten Lessons
Maya Johnson is a bold, ambitious 24-year-old Black woman determined to make her mark in the elite graduate literature program at Marlowe University. Fiercely intelligent and unapologetically driven, she's used to being underestimated-but never outmatched. Dr. Charles Whitmore is a brilliant but emotionally guarded professor of modernist literature. At 47, he's twice her age, haunted by a failed marriage, and perfectly content with the predictable solitude of academia-until Maya walks into his lecture hall. Their connection begins with a spark-intellectual, intense, and charged with something deeper. Office hours become a ritual, debates turn personal, and the line between professional and private begins to blur. But in a world of strict rules, whispered gossip, and institutional power, a love like theirs could cost them everything. As desire simmers beneath the surface, both must confront their fears: Maya, about what it means to love someone who sees past her ambition to her vulnerability-and Charles, about the price of rediscovering passion in a woman half his age but twice his fire.Complete

Ms. Maldini
Professor x Student | wlw | Age Gap | Genius Girl x Academic Enigma Maya is a brilliant mind with a past her memory chose to bury. She's eighteen, but she's not starting college-she's wrapping up her Master of Science in Quantum Physics. She enrolled at fourteen, a prodigy who moved through equations, theories, and sterile labs where everything made sense except, maybe, herself. Her focus is fixed on the path ahead-a PhD, more research, more certainty. But that fragile balance begins to shift after one unexpected encounter. During a routine session with her therapist, she meets a woman who, without warning, walks back into her life as a professor in a class Maya was never supposed to attend. Coincidence, consequence, or something else entirely? Quantum physics doesn't offer answers for the way a soul trembles. This is a story of blurred boundaries and buried memories, of forbidden tension and the quiet gravity between two women on opposite sides of a classroom. A slow burn. An ethical tightrope. An impossible pull that feels just as chaotic, just as precise, as the laws that govern the universe itself.
