"The simple things in life are never meaningful, and the meaningful things in life are never simple. So maybe I don't want meaningful. Maybe I just want someone who cares enough to listen."
Gemma Summers and Noah Hanson are strangers. They have little in common, not to mention polar opposite personalities, yet lead extremely similar lives in the sense that they both feel they are missing something. In a small, vintage style coffee shop the two meet, finding solace in their queer, complication free conversations. They don't want to be friends, they don't want to be lovers, they don't want anything more than to talk over two cups of coffee.
But keeping up the ideal simplistic relationship proves harder than it seems as unwanted feelings of attachment and connection arise, leaving them both wondering if maybe simplicity isn't what they are searching for, and if they are searching for something that has already been found.
Completed-- ABOUT TO UNDERGO SOME EDITING AND REVAMPING especially for chapters 41 to 48 and 53. Bare with me here, as the writing process is torturous (and lovely, of course.) Expect a shitton of updates in the next few months.
Warning: Mature language within (it's swearing, they're twenty, no surprise there)
These chapters rarely exceed five hundred words, which is why there are so many of them. I hope you enjoy!
(Please do not copy my work. I appreciate that you like my idea enough to steal it, but there are better ways to show this appreciation. So please, don't. I've worked hard on this.)

Anything but Typical
Suddenly awaking me from my drowsy state, my phone started ringing. There was an 'unknown' caller ID. Hesitantly, I picked it up. "Hello?" There was heavy breathing on the other end. Oh no. Please tell me this isn't happening. "Seriously. Who is this? Is this some sort of prank call?" I desperately wanted to believe that yes, Noah and Robin were prank calling me and laughing their asses off as they passed the phone back and forth. But deep down I knew this time, I was wrong. There was more heavy breathing and I almost hung up but there was just something inside of me willing me to stay on the line. I heard some muffled voices on the other end before a gruff voice spoke three short words "We have her." Meet Drew. Shy. Reserved. Intelligent. His life was turned upside down when he walked into a record shop and came face to face with the love of his life. But how far is he willing to go to ensure her safety? *please note that this is my first story on wattpad* this book has themes of depression and anxiety, so if you get triggered easily i suggest you don't read this. cover made by @newtellashadowhunter All rights reserved.

Vita et Mors - Danisnotonfire and AmazingPhil Fanfiction
COMPLETED - My first fanfiction. Gemma along with her best friend Sophie are two very dedicated danosaurs and philions. They meet Dan and Phil, and really get to know them. However, there is a plot twist - are Gemma and Sophie who they actually claim to be? *WARNING* swearing, graphic violence and some snogging. Maybe not that graphic. And not really any kissing, either. Let's just go with: some awkward mentions of kissing, lots of injury and bleeped out swearing. Sometimes bleeped. Also contains spies, and super secret stuff. Disclaimer: I do not own any of the people you may recognise in here. If I did... You wouldn't see them without me ;) If anything is different, just call it non-canon. Like age. If they're marrying at 19, pretend they're a bit older, okay? Vita et Mors translates to Life and Death. It is in Latin, incase you didn't know. P.S. Most different languages is done via google translate, so don't blame me if they're completely wrong. I'll write a translation, somehow.Complete

The time finally comes where he sets his eyes on someone and decided the girl to be 'the one' and he is willing to do anything to make her as his. *** "Look at me," I urged. "No, I don't want to."

I want everything back to normal between us." I tried to persuade her again. "I will do anything to make everything back to normal like how we used to be. I promise." "You really will do anything?" "Yes, I will." "Let me move out from the house. I don't want to stay with you anymore." Her words strike me like a lightning. I narrowed my eyes, finding the truth in her request.

"Okay, if that's what you want." *The picture doesn't belong to me, credit to the original owner.Complete
Sunshine in a Stormcloud
**Short Story** Luna Carter is a literal ray of sunshine-optimistic, bubbly, and the kind of person who hugs strangers. Noah Hayes is the exact opposite: a brooding, scowling mechanic who hates people, small talk, and especially *her*.

But when she accidentally becomes his new roommate, ignoring her becomes impossible. Now, Noah's stuck with the human embodiment of a golden retriever, and Luna's made it her mission to crack his grumpy exterior. The problem? The more she smiles, the harder he falls. **Tropes:** ✔ Grumpy x Sunshine ✔ Forced Proximity (Roommates!) ✔ "Who Hurt You?" Vibes ✔ Slow Burn with SNARKY BanterComplete
The Familiar Face✅
Liv Foster and Noah Fisher were the kind of childhood friends who could finish each other's sentences and steal fries off each other's plates without asking. Summers meant baseball dirt under Noah's nails, sunburn on Liv's shoulders, and some kind of unspoken promise that they'd always be in each other's orbit. Cut to college-new freedom, same heartbeat-and somewhere between study sessions and late-night drives, friendship twisted into something heavier. They fell, hard. Until Noah did the one thing Liv thought he never would: he cheated. No drama explosion, no cinematic screaming. Just quiet devastation. She walked away and built walls out of professionalism and caffeine. Years later, Liv gets an email that looks like the universe playing a cruel joke: she's just been offered a job as assistant to the new athletic director for the Party Animals. The same chaotic rival team that loves glitter, pranks, and unhinged celebrations. The same team where Noah Fisher-number 12, golden-boy outfielder, heartbreak incarnate-now plays. Liv walks into that stadium like she owns her composure. Noah sees her for the first time in years, and every apology he rehearsed evaporates. Their dynamic turns into this tightrope walk between old habits and unresolved tension. He tries humor, she gives him silence. He makes a catch mid-game, and she refuses to look impressed. But rivalry has a strange way of making sparks dangerous again. Forced to collaborate for charity events, media shoots, and player discipline reports (because Noah definitely pulls pranks that end up on TikTok), they start peeling back the layers-resentment, guilt, that stupid old warmth that never really died. It's friends to lovers to strangers to lovers again, but this time older, warier, and more real. The question isn't whether they'll fall again-it's whether they can trust each other not to break what's already been rebuilt.
60 days of learning love ✔️
(LGBTQ+) How hard could it be to fall in love in 60 days? Noah and Olivia didn't know what was going to happen, all they knew was that they had agreed to a challenge that would prove to the entire school that they weren't gay. They didn't even know each others names before that day, and now here they are, learning love, or at least trying too. This is a gay story, if you don't like it, don't read it <3 [started January 19, 2021] Okay, I started writing this when I was 14... I'm turning 16... I had a very long haitus and now I'm trying to write like a 14 year old again to make the story sound as if there was never a haitus 🤣 [completed August 1st, 2022]Complete
