Even Then, I Loved You"
Before the accident. Before the fame. Before the scars and healing - there was Mississippi.
At sixteen, Leanna Hilt left the sun-soaked streets of Los Angeles and landed in a small Mississippi town, dragging grief, secrets, and a sketchbook full of pain. She wasn't looking for love - only a way to breathe again.
Elisa, born in Alabama but raised in the heart of Mississippi, was quiet strength and southern grace. Her world was small, but her heart was vast. She had dreams bigger than the town would allow and wounds she never spoke of.
When their worlds collided junior year, everything changed.
Told in flashes of young love, quiet defiance, and moments that shaped everything after, Even Then, I Loved You explores how two girls from different worlds found safety in each other - and held on, even when the world tried to tear them apart.
This is where the love began.

Where Love Left Scars
"We said goodbye for the sake of growing up. But growing up didn't mean moving on." At Rosebridge University, Mirabel and Caden meet again-not as lovers, but as best friends carrying unspoken history. They broke up in high school when Mirabel's grades slipped, and she blamed the distraction of love. Caden let her go, believing they'd find their way back someday. But now that "someday" is here, everything is more complicated than he ever imagined. She's stronger. He's quieter. And their hearts? Still speaking the language of "what ifs." But in between stolen glances, late-night talks, and buried memories, their story is far from over. Because sometimes, letting go was never the end. It was just the pause before everything changed.Complete
After Everything
Prologue: Before the storm, there was softness. There was laughter in quiet cafes, late-night calls that turned into early mornings, hands tangled in each other like roots learning how to hold. There was a boy who made me feel seen, and a girl who still believed that love-real love-could be enough. We weren't perfect, but we were in love. The kind of love that feels handwritten by the universe. The kind of love you bet everything on, even when the odds start to shift. But the thing about love is that it doesn't unravel all at once. It frays. Quietly. Softly. One skipped detail. One unanswered question. One moment of doubt that grows roots while you're still convincing yourself everything's fine. This is a story about that unraveling. About the ache of being almost chosen. About trust that cracked before it broke. But it's also a story about resilience. About finding your voice in the silence. About choosing love-not just in someone else, but in yourself. Because sometimes the greatest love stories aren't the ones that come easy. They're the ones you fight for, walk away from, and learn to return to with open eyes. This is not just a love story. It's a reckoning. A healing. A reminder that sometimes, even in the aftermath, love still finds a way back. And this time, it's real.Complete
(Lesbian) Heartbreak Hotel and Other Shitty Love Songs (LGBT) (GirlxGirl)
"Kiss me," She says, a tan hand snaking around my waist. Tiny bolts of electricity run through my stomach as she pulls me towards her. Her words reverberate through my head, but I can't seem to grasp the meaning. She holds my gaze for just a little too long before I instinctively grab the back of her head and pull her face close, her silky smooth hair all but falling between my fingers. Holy shit. - Shelby is your above-average mean girl. Razor-sharp wit, annoyingly perfect blonde hair, and a nasty attitude. Oh, and she's fucked every guy in school. That's a personality trait, right? But what happens when Bethany kisses Shelby? It changes everything. And you know what? Change is fucking scary. Especially when that change makes your cold heart skip an extra beat. - This is an LGBT+ story. All my love stories are wlw-centric. I am a queer author, and that's what I LOVE to write. This is my favorite story I've ever written- but I stared it when I was 18! I'm 21 now so I apologize if anything is iffy. It's still a rough draft! Feel free to comment your thoughts :-) love you! - TW: References to sexual assault. Explicit language. Crude humor. Opinions of characters do not necessarily reflect those of the author :-) characters are FLAWED!! - My Instagram: huntergracesComplete
A Different Life, A Different Story
Synopsis: Indie: "Uh," I take a moment, not to just get in the car, but for what I'm about to say. "I-I'm still scared." "Why?" Uncle Kimmy says. "I miss Tennessee. I miss Cassidy." "Look, Indie, I know it's hard to accept change. Trust me, I even have a hard time accepting change but you gotta adapt. As your Nana said, it's better to learn now, than later." No, no, no, no, no! I try to hold in all the pain and all the tears as thoughts fill my head like a rain of sorrow and despair drown me in the deepest part of the sea. California... Felix: Donnie and I throw rocks at a pond walking home from school. Ever since Diana's mom took custody of the girls, I haven't been seeing them lately. I hope I see them again. I kinda miss them.

She looked me up and down and I'm sure...well 99% positive that she stared at my lips the longest. "Well your eyes are telling me different," She responded voice low like a whisper. "What do you mean?" I asked slightly biting my lip from nerves. "Your pupils are dilated which is a sign of attraction to a person," She said licking her lips.

The Teacher: AKA My Best Friend's Mom (GxG) (TeacherxStudent)
Her ass hit the front of her desk and there was nowhere else for her to go. I didn't give it a second thought before plastering my lips onto her own. The kiss held fire, and I made sure to give it all I had. I trailed my right hand ever so slightly down her torso, getting closer and closer to the top of the black dress pants she had on today. I hooked a finger in the waistband of her pants before ceasing my movements and moving my mouth beside her ear. "Don't be a tease," I breathed, then walked out the door leaving her dishevelled and horny. Karma's a bitch. R-Rated. Beware, Highly Gay. Trigger Warning- may include scenes relating to rape, death, suicide, self-harm, masturbation, and sex.Complete
