Driven to Distraction
Alex Thompson was due to marry her high school sweet heart Eric Ramirez. Period. That's it. It's about as exciting as her life ever got really. She had a job, a good job but an unconscious reality was that she was bored. She had her back blown out once every three months, if that, and an overbearing mother who made her life hell. *enter Mitch* Eve 'Mitch' Mitchell. An outgoing, strong minded, independent, raging homosexual, lover to all, charming British soul. They meet by accident after a tough day at the office for Alex. A mistaken identity was all it took for a tiny little kiss. A moment blown all out of proportion for the Christian-bred Miss Thompson and her life turns more miserable than she anticipated for every time she turned around...Mitch was there behind her. Something about Mitch was new and fresh and her soul was just what Alex needed (little did she know). Secrets from the past are brought to the surface. A sad ending to a young lady's life. A realisation that family isn't always blood related. Alcohol isn't a medicine. Violence isn't a key. Hearts were never meant to be broken. Two things to take away: you never know what is going on in someone's head and the most important thing...you never know what happens behind closed doors. A/N just a random story about two people who meet accidentally. Plays with gender norms and very inclusive of LGBTQ (being a member myself). Could be triggering I'm not sure as some identity questions are thrown around. It does include smoking, drinking, some homophobia, profanities, violence and smut. Also anything in brackets with A/N means authors note and that's just me leaving a little comment. Enjoy...Complete

Gram's Divide
A quiet, romantic and dangerous WW2 spy story about two men who should never have met. In the wake of Operation Barbarossa, the rapid Nazi advance severed Moscow's direct radio link with its agents in the German heartland. By late 1941, the Soviet intelligence apparatus was in disarray. Sergei is sent to the Brandenburg border on a desperate mission: protect a clandestine radio relay station - a mission that throws him into a deadly dance with Andreas, a Gestapo official. Their fates collide in a Communist-led assassination attempt, but the true battle lies in the silence that follows. "Between them now lies an invisible blade, much like the mythic sword Gram that once parted a hero from his valkyrie. On which side of the steel does love lie, and on which, duty?" Notes: Hey everyone! Just a quick note before you dive in. This story was first written in Chinese on ao3 and someone say people may like it here so I am trying to translate this into English. This is a FICTIONAL spy story set during WWII. That means I've taken creative liberties with the plot and characters to tell (hopefully) a gripping tale! To be crystal clear: writing about this period and including organizations like the Gestapo is for narrative drama only. It is NOT a support or endorsement of the Nazis' hateful and abhorrent ideology, which I stand firmly against. Okay, with that important bit said... I hope you enjoy the story! Let me know what you think in the comments!
