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.

Wasteland [Ellie Williams fan fiction]
[TLOUxARCANE] "Even when it's over, it comes back in flashes. Like a kaleidoscope of things I shouldn't have done. Shouldn't have seen. Shouldn't have felt." "Some places change you. Some people ruin you. She did both." Rhaeya lives in the gold-and-glass prison of Topside - all polished smiles and suffocating rules. One night, she slips into The Pit: the city beneath the city, where danger breathes and nothing is clean. That's where she meets Ellie. A girl with a cigarette in her mouth and war in her eyes. They weren't supposed to fall. Not like this. Secrets leak. Loyalties crack. And when love starts a war between two worlds, there's only one way it can end. This isn't a love story. It's a downfall. A rebellion. A burn you don't come back from. [In this story Ellie grew up in the Pit (undercity inspired from Arcane) x female reader named Rhaeya, from the Topside. They're meant to be enemies]Complete

At twenty, she's a weapon and ex-Firefly turned WLF ghost, trained to follow orders and forget the cost. Her mission is simple: track Ellie Williams, and bring her back bruised and bloody for her cure. But in a city drowning in blood and vengeance, nothing is simple. As Alex hunts Ellie through the ruins of Seattle, fragments of who she used to be start clawing their way back-memories of loss, of rage, and of something dangerously close to connection.

Loving Zach (MxM)
Sometimes you need just one person to make all the difference in the world. And even better if you get a whole family of them. Zach's been living in his car for a month now. He has nowhere to go, no job and his money is starting to run out. Life has been rough on him, growing up in an abusive home and later in life becoming the center of a vile man's attention. Just as he thinks his life is never getting better, he meets the charming business owner Dean. Zach is a broken boy and has nothing to offer to a successful businessman who's so handsome he could be on a magazine cover. But life has a way of putting the right person in your path even if you didn't know you were on the one. This is a finished, full length (80k words), slow burn romance about learning to trust, falling in love and healing after life has beaten you down. !Trigger warning: This story deals with child neglect, child abuse, domestic violence and rape. I wasn't overly descriptive about these situations, but they are still a big part of the story. !Explicit sexual scene. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.

What Remains
After leaving Dina and JJ behind to hunt Abby, Ellie returns to an empty home. The silence is unbearable. She tells herself she won't let it end like this - she won't let her mistakes destroy the family she had. Determined, she sets out across the country to find them, no matter how long it takes. On the road, Ellie drifts into a small group of survivors and even meets Ava, a sharp, stubborn girl who makes her feel something she can't name. But Ellie doesn't let herself get distracted. Late one night, she slips away without goodbye, chasing her only real goal: Dina. Her search leads her all the way to Minnesota, to a fortified town in Duluth - bigger, stronger, and better protected than Jackson ever was. To earn her place inside, Ellie is forced into an impossible mission... but she makes it possible. Inside the gates, she finally sees her again. Dina. Laughing. Dancing in the arms of another man. The reunion is anything but sweet. Dina is furious that Ellie followed her, and Ellie, burning with jealousy, realizes too late that the man - Caleb - isn't who he pretends to be. When Ellie learns Caleb has been hurting Dina, there's no question. She'll do what she has to do. For Dina. For the life they lost. But in Duluth, nothing is simple. Ava, the girl from Ellie's travels, turns out to be her roommate. At first, Ellie resents her, but slowly, Ava begins to slip under her skin. Between old love and new temptation, between loyalty and survival, Ellie walks a razor's edge. And when blood is spilled, she'll have to ask herself the question she's been running from all along: how much of herself is she willing to lose for the people she loves? 🥉:#ellieanddina 🥉:#womenlove 🥇:#elliexdinaComplete

Bound by Fire
Rating: 18+/New Adult Primary Genre: Dark Romantasy / Psychological Thriller with Epic Fantasy Elements Subgenres/Elements: Character-Driven, Found Family, Psychological Manipulation, Dark Romance, Love Triangle, Elemental Magic, Elite Military Academy, Coming-of-Age, Trauma & Healing Reader discretion is strongly advised. This book explores the blurred lines between love and obsession, protection and control, redemption and corruption. The ending sets up significant psychological conflict that challenges traditional romance dynamics. 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.

VELVET | Ellie Williams x OC
You dance for strangers. Heels, lights, music - the show never slips. Then you see her. A quiet girl in the back, watching like she's memorizing every move. She doesn't flirt. Doesn't speak. Just looks - like she knows exactly what she wants, and it's not for sale. What starts as a game of control becomes something else. Something harder to fake. Rules break. Lines blur. And when you're used to keeping your distance, nothing is more dangerous than being seen.![Strength and Sensuality [Completed]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/205277062-256-k462556.jpg)
Strength and Sensuality [Completed]
A modern Pride and Prejudice story. Only sexier. Mira is a refugee, starting a new life far from home. She has to deal with her troubled past, her son, and her enigmatic boss, while her only weapon is her killer sense of humor. It's a slow-building love-hate story, with a strong female lead; two control freak lawyers, fighting for dominance, in denial of their feelings; an alpha discovering his submissive side; lots of humor and humanism. ~73K words ~~~ Warnings: - Mild language. Characters talk like white-collar workers usually do in real life. - Chapter 43 has mild sexual content. It isn't very graphic, it's emotional, rather, but if you don't want to read about it, just skip it. It won't affect the story. ~~~ Featured: - WP Romance's Read Together and Head Over Heels reading list - WP ChickLit and Women's Fiction reading list - WP New Adult's Romance reading list - WP Adult Fiction reading list - WP Classic Authors Twisting Austen's Magical Moments reading list - WP Retold reading list ~~~ Reviews: "You have a lot of literary elements going for you: your style is chock full of subtext, humor, and intelligence. There's a careful craftsmanship in world-building, character development, and theme." Scripturam Awards "A truly unique story with a quite remarkable a plot! It has the ability to convey the emotions stirred within the characters to the depth of readers heart!" The Graphomania Awards "I am beyond impressed with this work. The characters feel real; three-dimensional. The narration does not feel forced in any way, it flows as it reads." The Dream Awards "Some books lead with suspense and cliffhangers that even if you don't want to continue the book you do so just to sate your curiosity. But then a rare gem like this comes along and without any cheap tricks it pulls in, you just continue and keep reading it and you may not even know when you reach the end." Shadow City AwardsComplete
