She's the war-hardened vet who doesn't believe in second chances. She's the single mom with a smile that could ruin your whole emotional stability.

After a career-ending injury, Ellie Williams returns home to rebuild her life, starting with physical therapy-and ending somewhere between stolen glances and tangled sheets with the one person she shouldn't be falling for: her therapist, Dina.

But nothing about them is easy.
Not Jesse, her ex and father of her kid.
Not Ellie's war wombs inside and out 
Not the feelings neither of them knows what to do with.

With slow-burn tension, the last of us-level emotional trauma, flirty banter, and a whole lot of "I'm not catching feelings" energy, Mended is a messy, sexy, heart-wrenching love story about healing-body first, then soul.

✦ Queer slow burns

Bound by Fire by VanLaCar
59 parts Ongoing
Rating: 17+ Primary Genre: Romantasy Subgenres/Elements: Character-Driven, Found Family, Military Fantasy, Elemental Magic, Political Intrigue, Slow Burn Synopsis: Fire doesn't ask for permission, it consumes. Celeste never asked to be extraordinary. When fire wakes beneath her skin and destroys everything she's ever known, she's taken from the quiet streets of Lahbell to the Southern Condinian Elite Academy-a fortress built to shape elemental soldiers from the ashes of fear. Inside its steel walls, rules are absolute, emotions are weaknesses, and failure is erased. But Celeste doesn't burn quietly. Between secret missions, rivalries, and whispered betrayals, she begins to uncover the truth behind Condinia's power, and the reason her own flames refuse to obey. Then there's Andrew: the soldier forged from fire and control. And Mark: the kinetic fighter who meets chaos with a grin. Both draw her in for reasons she can't name, and both force her to decide what her power is truly for-destruction, or protection. As darkness rises beyond the borders and loyalty fractures within, Celeste must confront the thing she fears most: that the fire inside her was never meant to be contained. Bound by Fire is a cinematic romantasy about survival, trust, and the bonds that are tested in war-where found family burns brightest in the shadows. Content Warnings: Graphic combat, PTSD, grief, military violence, and slow-burn romantic tension. Reader discretion is advised. You can also find my complete story on Amazon Kindle Unlimited Edition.

If Falling Was Easy

34 parts Complete Mature

Ellie thought she'd never find love again, especially after having her son, Noah, and the love of her life leaving her to raise their child alone. Ellie found contentment in being a single mother until she meets Daniel on a night out. He's charming, persistent, and doesn't mind that she has a child. She allows her guard down and ponders the possibility of a second chance at finding love. Everything seems perfect until she meets his mother and she quickly disapproves of her single mother status, and then the father of her son strolls back into her life demanding to be a parent. Ellie isn't used to the help or making decisions as a team, but Daniel sets out to prove he's the one for her, despite what his mother thinks. If falling was easy, we'd all do it.
