Drew's parents were the ones to come forth with the marriage proposal. It was more like a business merger contract, but it wasn't too bad. I had heard about Drew, and he knew about me. I didn't mind being held by him, and I suppose I could imagine a future with a man like him. A few dates and conversations had proved it. Proved it, that I was beginning to fall for him. So we could do it. Marry each other, that is. The date was fixed. The dress fittings were done. The invitations were sent. We were going to get married in a week. And a week was all it took to break my heart. All it took to make me hate glitter and sequins. And Poppy. And pink. ~*~

EDITORS' PICK (November 2019) || COMPLETE Nick Buckingham is three things if nothing else: salty, antisocial, and the quintessential gay theatre nerd. He's content to drift through the rest of senior year throwing himself into productions to avoid his peers - until it arrives. As an anonymous classmate begins courting Nick via text, he's suddenly desperate to figure out just who this dashing secret admirer is--even if it means actually socialising. He'll be fine--so long as he keeps his wits about him and doesn't fall for this probably-catfisher. Can't be too hard, right?

Amelia has a secret. She's told a few people this secret, but they don't see her the same way now. It's not her fault she can love someone without wanting sex from them. Jess loves Daniel. She really does. But she won't say that it makes her "straight". She could love no one else, but she identifies as pansexual. Her only fear is that Daniel, who is homophobic, will stop loving her if he ever finds out. Max was a girl. Was. Now, they're a boy. But maybe they're a girl tomorrow. And the next day, maybe they're both! So why can't the world get that? They struggle as people treat them differently, and forget who they really are. Just because they're a boy one day and a girl the next doesn't mean they have to be treated like they're invisible. Asexual. Pansexual. Genderfluid. But apparently to society, even to the people like themselves, they're all invisible.

"He was the dark night. She was the bright day. But their hearts were colorless, and yearned for the same change." - REVIEWS: "Colorless Hearts is an amazing story that shows that it doesn't matter what race you are. With all the terrible events going on in the world right now, Colorless Hearts can serve as a beautiful reminder that there are still people like the main protagonists who only see each other as human beings, not as someone of another race or, overall, different as them. It shows that there are people whose hearts are colorless, and that's something that the world needs to hear right now. A beautiful story that has hope, dreams, and most importantly, love." -@Eris345 Book 4 in the "Pure Love Tales" series.

❝The Citrus Syndrome is just about the worst way there is to die. It starts with the physical illness. Vomiting, chills, hot flashes, abdominal pains, fever, muscle aches, bleeding, coughing, fatigue, headache, nausea -- You name it, we've got it. Oh, rashes too. At least it's not difficult to identify someone suffering from it. All the test subjects shared the same ashen complexion, same watery eyes and deteriorating bodies. It eats you from the inside out, until you crumble into nothing. Sure, you might say, that's bad. But what makes this the absolute worse way to die? The psychological stage. You're lucky, if you don't make it that far. Hopefully, you just contract it and kill yourself or choke on your own vomit -- spare yourself the pain. In our research, we were able to locate the part of the brain that first latches onto phobia. The part that holds your deepest fears, and where they came from. By far, the most dangerous part of the brain to mess with. I was never present for the physical experiments. Ignorance is bliss, they say. I put my chemistry degree to good use, and that was all. I didn't want to see what happened to the test subjects. We had been convinced that everything happening at the facility was humane. But I wasn't so sure.❞ #235 in Science Fiction 2/12/17 Cover by @calebwhite13

Prithika Singh would have told you that her love life was going great. After all, who could argue that the pretty cheerleader and the handsome quarterback with their sweet year-long relationship were anything less than a dream couple? But Prithika is startled awake when she sees her boyfriend, Carter Hale, kissing Julia Hart, one of the supposedly average girls, in the middle of the hallway on the first day of school. Suddenly, her vision for her junior year is totally derailed, and she's left feeling uncertain about her sense of trust and relationships. And then along comes Jackson Rains, Julia's ex-boyfriend, notorious at Poppy Hills High for his (crappy) motorcycle, tousled dark hair, black leather boots, and two very public fistfights. In an attempt to save their past relationships, Jackson and Prithika hatch a probably terrible plan: make everyone think they're dating. Prithika will try to show Carter she can be a more low-maintenance girlfriend, Jackson will try to show Julia that he can be a more attentive boyfriend, and then Carter and Julia will get jealous and return to the partners they were supposed to be with in the first place, and it'll all go back to normal. But it seems the more Prithika tries to make things fit the picture-perfect path her life was on, the more things fly off the rails: she's trapped in trying to be someone she's not, she's lying to her best friends Laila and Aurora, she can tell Aurora's keeping secrets, she realizes how little she actually knows Carter, and she's getting more invested in Jackson's personal life than expected. Can she get her life back under control? Or will trying to fix things make a bigger mess?
