I Loved Her Then. I Love Her Still. by 1cookiesNcream1

Sophie never meant to fall in love with a woman. Ray was never supposed to wait. What started with a knock on a door became a quiet, complicated love-one that neither of them were ready to name. Torn between the life she was raised to choose and the one her heart kept reaching for, Sophie walked away. Years pass. The silence between them grows heavier. But some loves don't fade with time-they deepen, in memory, in longing, in all the words never said. A slow-burn queer romance about missed chances, emotional intimacy, and the love that lingers even when the world says it shouldn't. I Loved Her Then. I Love Her Still. Because some stories don't have happy endings- They have unfinished ones.

Halfway Home by Ernestawriting

Francesca Grey thought she'd finally escaped the perfect little town that never really knew her. Three years in Los Angeles taught her how to breathe again - how to be invisible, free, and entirely her own. But when an invitation arrives for her father's wedding - to a twenty-one-year-old woman she's never met - Frankie finds herself driving back toward the life she swore she'd left behind. What she doesn't expect is for the return to stir everything she thought she'd buried - memories of her mother, the weight of who she used to be, and the quiet ache of belonging she's never quite found. And then there's her. Someone unexpected. Someone who sees her in the way the town never could - not as who she was, but who she might still become. In a town where every face remembers her past, Frankie must decide whether home is a place she escaped... or a person she's just beginning to know.

Where The Light Went by CrushdConfessions

Bree doesn't do love anymore. Not since the accident. Not since the life she built was taken from her in the quiet blink of a moment. Now she keeps things simple. Drinks too much. Sleeps with women who don't ask questions. Keeps her heart buried somewhere between a barstool and the back porch. Then Harper comes back. The girl from summers past. The one who knew her before the world got sharp. Bree tells herself it's nothing. Just a ghost of a friendship. A familiar face passing through. But something's shifting. And the more she tries to ignore it... the more it demands to be seen. Some wounds don't scar over. Some hearts don't stay buried.

Hopelessly Her's by midnightstarglow

Quiet, introverted, and painfully aware of her insecurities, she prefers the safety of her notebooks and daydreams over the chaos of high school life. But her world begins to shift when she realizes her feelings for her best friend, Sofia Winter-a dazzling, confident girl who seems to own every room she walks into. Sofia is everything Adisson thinks she can never be: popular, radiant, and effortlessly loved by everyone. To Sofia, Adisson is her rock, the quiet voice of reason in her whirlwind life. But for Adisson, Sofia is so much more-a muse, a dream, and now, an aching secret. As their friendship deepens, Adisson wrestles with the growing weight of her feelings, torn between staying silent to protect their bond and risking everything to speak the truth. Will she find the courage to confront her fears, or will her love for Sofia remain a story left unwritten? "Hopelessly Her's" is a tender tale of unspoken love, self-discovery, and the courage it takes to be vulnerable in the face of your deepest insecurities.
