Melodic saviour
Kylie teaches deaf children, finding peace in a world without sound. Her past relationships have always been fleeting, built on fragile connections that never lasted. ASL became her refuge after meeting a girl no one else could understand, and it's shaped the way she lives and loves ever since. Malia, a sweet girl who's deaf in both ears, has a daughter who was born deaf in her left and finding someone willing to teach her has been impossible. Between long hours at work and a difficult home life, Malia's hope begins to fade-until she meets Kylie, a patient, hearing teacher fluent in ASL. Watching her with Autumn sparks something Malia can't quite name. As Malia begins helping in Kylie's class, the two grow closer. But with Bryce still in her life and control tightening around her, Malia finds herself torn between the stability she knows and the quiet strength she's found beside Kylie.
If I Could Go Back | A Kylia AU
At twenty-four, Malia has everything she once thought she wanted. Fame. Red carpets. A sold-out world tour. A husband the world adores. Married to rising music star Malachi, she's part of a golden celebrity couple everyone envies. The cameras love them. The interviews sparkle. The ring on her finger shines like proof that she "won." But behind closed doors, when the lights are off and the music stops, the truth is quieter. Darker. Malachi drinks too much. His temper shifts without warning. The man the world sees isn't the man she lives with. And every night, as she lies awake beside him, Malia realizes something devastating: The worst mistake she ever made wasn't marrying him. It was losing Kylie. Once her best friend. Once her safe place. Once the only person who ever really saw her. The once inseparable cast - Malia, Kylie, Malachi, Freya, Dara, MK, and Josh - they were chaotic, young. And then one choice shattered everything. Malia chose Malachi. Kylie walked away. Now, trapped in a life that looks perfect but feels like a prison, Malia wishes for one impossible thing: What if I could go back? And then she does. She wakes up in her eighteen-year-old body - back on that tour bus, before the wedding, before the betrayal, before she let the love of her life slip through her fingers. This time, she knows how the story ends. This time, she knows who truly mattered. And this time, she's not choosing him. She's choosing Kylie. A second chance. A buried love. A friendship that was always more. Because sometimes the greatest love story isn't about finding someone new- It's about going back and choosing the person you should've chosen all along.

This Christmas
Kylie wasn't supposed to fall into old habits. Definitely not with her. But coming home for Christmas means coming home to Malia Baker-her ex-situationship, her almost-kiss, her biggest "what if." And somehow, Malia is even more gorgeous, more sarcastic, and more dangerously charming than Kylie remembers. One fight with her girlfriend Brynn sends Kylie spiraling straight back into Malia's orbit... where the teasing looks, late-night cuddling, and whispered jokes make it way too easy to forget all the reasons they never worked the first time. And Malia? She isn't subtle. She wants Kylie back-and she isn't hiding it. Between snowstorms, family dinners, drama with Brynn, and more almost-kisses than either of them can handle, Kylie finds herself pulled into a holiday romance she never expected... And maybe always wanted. 12/5/25 #1 Kylia #1 maliabaker
Undeniable (kylia)
Kylie and Malia are seventeen and in their final year of high school-a time that should be full of prom plans, college applications, and senior pranks. Instead, for them, it's the final chapter of a long-standing rivalry. Their moms are best friends and always dreamed their daughters would be just as close. Unfortunately, Kylie and Malia have spent their whole lives proving them wrong. Kylie, the town's golden girl, is a wildly popular influencer-but not the kind that lets fame go to her head. She's genuine, funny, and deeply rooted in her hometown, using her platform to lift others up rather than tear them down. Despite her online success, she's just a regular teenager with a tight-knit group of friends: Ruby, Josh, Jadah, Kiara, and Peder. Malia, on the other hand, is queen bee of the cheer squad. She's beautiful, sharp-tongued, and completely used to getting what she wants. To most, she's untouchable-just not in a good way. Her inner circle-Momona, McKenna, and Dior-rules the halls with ruthless confidence. Everyone knows Kylie and Malia despise each other. The tension is infamous. Their friends feud by default. The only truce is Dior and Jadah's unexpected relationship, which just adds more fuel to the fire. But as senior year drags on, something shifts. A brush of the hand. A glance that lasts too long. An insult that lands a little too soft. Kylie and Malia start catching themselves noticing each other for the wrong reasons-or maybe the right ones. Neither of them wants to admit it. Pride and years of hostility get in the way. Their friends would never let them live it down. Still, something keeps pulling them together. And when the masks finally slip, when the pretending gets too heavy to carry, Kylie and Malia are left facing a truth they've spent years avoiding: maybe they never really hated each other. Maybe they just didn't know how to want each other out loud.Complete
Beyond the bleachers
Malia Baker, it was about discipline. Every cheer, every routine, every shared smile with the star athlete was calculated and controlled. Her life was about command, and she wouldn't allow herself to acknowledge the messy, undeniable desire she felt for Kylie Cantrall. Kylie Cantrall, scoring goals was easy. Resisting Malia Baker was the toughest game of her career. The fierce rivalry, the playful teasing, the intense connection they shared on the sidelines-it was all professional, until it wasn't Guys i hope you guys enjoy this is my first story go a bit easy on me🫶🏾🤭much love
