Lily Blondel's life is like a necklace which is suddenly cut by fate; one bead falls off causing destruction to her young heart.

Lily dares to love and believe that she could possibly move on, without someone she desperately needs.
Join Lily on her heartbreaking, risky, and desperate journey to find happiness as well as abandon her grief. Will she be able to move on, or will she give up when she realizes that the other beads were falling off too; one after the other...?

Not Madly Not Deeply
**COMPLETE** She wore the wrong cardigan. Said the wrong thing. Played the wrong guitar. But this time, Lily-Anne says NO-no to him, and no to his roses-and it might be the most right thing she's ever done. Still reeling from her dad's death and a relationship that makes her feel small, Lily finally walks away, carrying only the guitar she can no longer bear to play. With her confidence shattered and her grief still raw, she turns to the people she nearly pushed away: her mum, her sister, and the memory of her dad, who always supported her music. Little does she know that someone is already out there-quiet, steady, and willing to believe in her-if she can only find the courage to reach out. Could letting go of the wrong person be the first step to reigniting her spark-and opening the door to the kind of love she truly deserves? Not Madly Not Deeply is a short story prequel offering a quiet, heartfelt glimpse into Lily's journey of reclaiming herself.

Rascals
A story of a runaway heartbeat and the found family it dragged along. They move from place to place-half-lost, half-chosen-chasing quiet, hiding from the noise. It started with one girl trying to outrun the truth her family fed her, and grew into a mismatched group of escapees: her best friend, a boyfriend, two internet ghosts, and later, the ones who took the place of those who left. But people don't always stay. Sometimes they leave with a note. Sometimes they don't say anything at all. And sometimes... they come back. What happens when someone you loved left you for what they thought was your good-only to return when the damage's been done? What happens when grief makes room for someone new? And how do you know when the road you're running is finally home? --- Content Warning: •Themes of death, grief, abandonment •Found family & trauma bonding •Emotional and psychological triggers •Intimate/suggestive scenes (light smut)Complete
