Orange Is the New Black | Young!Carol Denning x Female OC
All Valerie Ellis wanted was to belong. As Barbara Denning's best friend, Valerie has always been good at pretending: perfect hair, perfect smile, perfect lies.
When she inevitably crosses paths with Barbara's younger sister, Carol Denning - the girl she's supposed to hate - the façade begins to crack. Valerie tells herself she just wants a different kind of friend: someone real, someone who makes her feel seen for the first time.
But every time Carol looks at her like she sees straight through the act, Valerie starts to wonder if she ever wanted a friendship at all. And wanting more might just destroy everything she's spent years pretending to be.

I See You, Blue Book 1: Reunited
Astrid Larsen is a freelance photographer taking care of two kids, her young son, Jasper, and teenage goddaughter, Angie Santos in a small town in North Carolina. She has definitely come a long way since high school, which, for her, was a living hell. Although she was grateful for her loyal group of friends, including someone who had always been much more. Parker Rivera, an openly non-binary author, is well known for their best-selling romance novel that may or may not have been loosely based off of their secret high school romance with Astrid. Regardless, they now had a nice life in New York where they adopted three kids who have now grown into kind, unique young adults. Needless to say, they never wanted to go back. But then one phone call quickly turns into a temporary move-in back to their childhood home where they decide to get a job at a new local coffee shop. One morning, they see Astrid sitting at one of the tables, looking as beautiful as they remember. The two of them catch up, deciding to spend some time together before Parker has to go back to New York. But what happens when they not only start to learn about the lives that they have been leading since their split but also the secrets they kept from each other during their relationship? CW/TW: discussions around drunk driving, eating disorders and body dysmorphia, cancer diagnosis, fat shaming, slut shaming, and homophobia, suggestion of self harm and self hate, emotional abuse, suicidal thoughts, death of a parent, anxiety, child abuse, bullying, violent temper, parent neglect, complex family dynamicsComplete
I See You, Blue Book 2: Words Fail
The Larsen/Santos family and half of our beloved Rivera family get to spend a fun day at Havenford's annual fall festival. And after seeing each other for the first time in fifteen years, Parker and Astrid use this as an opportunity to catch up more from their previous conversation at Cafe Royale. Through the festival excitement, Angie meets Parker and quickly recruits Amber to help set them up with Astrid. Though her match making skills may be less than perfect. But she is determined to not let her inexperience with love get in the way of Astrid's happiness. And it may be an opportunity to help her build courage in her own love life. But things take an interesting turn when Parker and some friends they've made through unexpected reunions invite Astrid out to a night of fun at Bronze Brew. Though Astrid seems hesitant by the invitation and the guest list, she decides to try her best to be there to spend more time with Parker before they leave her. Again. However, things may not go as planned when Astrid finds herself working through old feelings and caring about things in Parker's life that she worries may just not be any of her business. Not anymore. And after a fun night gone wrong, she accidentally goes too far to defend them. Especially since it seems like they don't want her help in that department. Not if it turns into pure chaos. She just hopes it isn't too far that she cannot rekindle some old feelings, even if it's solely through friendship and moral support.

"I... Am here to see you.", I told him as I placed my hands around his neck. I could feel my heart beat getting faster but I had to keep it strong if I had to survive this scenario.

I was missing your gorgeous face.", I told another lie. But wait? His face is gorgeous so that isn't a lie. And was I not missing seeing him? I noticed Brandon who just had his eyes popped out of his socket with bewilderment at my words. I decided to peck him on the cheek before I storm out of the locker room.
