BOOK 1 - Standing Too Close on Purpose [Jacob Sartorius × Zach Clayton]
They don't mean to stand this close. It just keeps happening. A glance held too long. A shoulder brushing without apology. Silence that says more than words ever could. Jacob notices first - the space shrinking, the quiet tension, the way proximity starts to feel deliberate instead of accidental. Zach doesn't ask questions. He doesn't rush. He just stays. Nothing is named. Nothing is taken. Everything is felt. Standing Too Close on Purpose is a slow-burn story about restraint, awareness, and the quiet gravity of two people learning how close they're willing to stand - even when they're not ready to say why. TRIGGER WARNINGS * Emotional slow burn * Prolonged unresolved tension * Intimacy through proximity and restraint * Touch-adjacent scenes (PG-13) * Quiet emotional conflict (No explicit sexual content) AUTHOR'S NOTE This story lives in the space before anything happens. It's about restraint, about noticing, about choosing not to cross a line even when you could. Touch is minimal. Silence matters. Proximity carries weight. If you're looking for instant payoff, this isn't that story. If you're looking for slow tension, quiet intimacy, and moments that linger longer than they should - welcome. Please be respectful in the comments. No pressure for escalation. Let the stillness speak. Thank you for reading.Complete

Stucky stuff
I have not seen much stucky in 2025, mostly cause the ship had no hope of being canon now. 😭😭😭 So I give you: Wonderful little prompt things about our favorite ship, stucky! Just pretend Steve decided to never go back to Peggy, cause that's pretty dumb, he should have never left Bucky! In this book: Each update will have a fanart, prompt, and actor pics. Mostly funny, some are a little sad, all are short and sweet! Understand that this is just for fun, it probably won't be very good! Also, art is not mine, I just took screenshots of them off the internet lol Don't forget to vote and comment for what you wanna see more of, they make my day! And that all, I hope you enjoy!

Yep, it's a whump story. I'm mostly using it to improve my writing skills. However, it is totally, completely, 100% clean! No swearing or otherwise inappropriate content whatsoever. Hope you enjoy! Disclaimer: all characters except for the ones I created belong to their respective companies. I do not own the cover photo, I only added the words.
