Masks Always Fall
A war between the mind and heart. Emma did her best to fade into the background, avoiding attention at all costs. As a foster kid still scarred by her homophobic parents' abuse, confrontation terrified her. She played the part of the perfect student, people-pleasing to keep her sexuality hidden - one wrong word could cost her the only family she's known When Emma started at her senior year, Her one solace became her English class, where she could lose herself in beautifully crafted words. Little did she know her safe place would introduce dangers she never expected. Julianne Clarke ruled her classroom with an iron fist, striking fear into even the boldest of students. But beneath her frosty exterior, Emma sensed deeper currents flowing. As the semester progressed and their discussions grew more intimate, Emma found herself opening up in ways she never thought possible. Soon she looked forward to class more than any other, clinging to the moments when Ms. Clarke's gaze would linger upon her own. But falling for the one person she couldn't have terrified Emma more than any torment her past held. As Emma struggled with unexpected attraction to her strict instructor, one wrong move threatened to shatter the barriers keeping her real self contained. Staying in the closet was safer, yet denying her true nature grew harder each day under Ms. Clarke's penetrating gaze.

Junebug
Juniper Casado has always been good at hiding things her softness, her fears, and the parts of herself that never really grew up. In a world that's loud, fast, and far too sharp, she survives by shrinking into quiet corners, pastel comforts, and the tiny rituals that make her feel safe. She never expects anyone to understand... and she definitely never expects anyone to stay. Then there's Giovanni Todaro. Steady where she's shaky, gentle where life has been rough, Gio sees Junie in a way no one else ever has. Not the version she tries to present to the world but the real her. The girl who loves cartoons, cozy blankets, stickers, and soft spaces to breathe. The girl who's been carrying too much for too long. When a rainy night, a shared pizza, and a sleepy slip of vulnerability pull them closer, Junie's carefully built walls begin to crack. Gio doesn't push. He doesn't pry. He just shows up again and again with warm hands, quiet patience, and a heart big enough to hold the pieces she's afraid to show. As Junie slowly lets herself trust him, she discovers something she's never had before: a place to rest. A place to be small. A place to be safe. But safety is new. Trust is terrifying. And letting someone see the softest parts of her might be the bravest thing she's ever done.Terminé
