Disabilityrepresentation Stories

Lydia Sterling has always lived carefully-quiet steps, quiet routines, a quiet heart shaped by a body that doesn't always cooperate and a past that taught her to stay small. Jess Ashford was her constant... until one reckless moment turns dangerous and shatters the safety she thought she had. Now Lydia is caught between fear and freedom, drawn toward the last person she expected: Zayden Ashford. Steady where Jess is volatile. Gentle where Jess is unraveling. The only one who makes her feel safe when the world tilts. But danger doesn't disappear just because she's ready to move on. As Lydia rebuilds her life, she must face the truth about the people she trusted, the boy she's falling for, and the threat that refuses to let her go. A story about disability, first love, trauma, and the courage to choose the life-and the person-that makes you feel free.

TRUST? - Adopted by 5SOS! Evie learned young that trust gets people hurt. Nearly thirteen years old, legally blind, and surviving on instincts sharper than most adults, Evie has spent most of her life being passed from one nightmare to another. After surviving the car accident that killed her family when she was two, she disappeared into a system that failed her long before she understood what safety was supposed to feel like. By the time she arrives at Mrs Fisherman's Orphanage, she already knows the rules: Keep your head down. Don't waste food. Don't cry. Never let anyone know what matters to you. Especially not adults. Behind her silence, Evie is far from helpless. Secretly earning money online through her artwork, music, and designs, she dreams of one day having enough to buy the one thing she's never had: Freedom. Then Ashton, Michael, Luke, and Calum walk into her life. The boys are strange from the beginning. Too observant. Too protective. Too connected to each other in ways that feel almost unnatural. Sometimes they speak at the same time. Sometimes they seem to know things Evie never says aloud. And sometimes they look at her like they've already decided she's family. As Evie is pulled into their chaotic world of late-night adventures, ridiculous jokes, unexpected kindness, and long-buried secrets, she begins to learn that family isn't always about blood. But trust? Trust is another matter entirely. A story about survival, healing, friendship, found family, hope, and a girl learning that being loved can be just as frightening as being alone.

Sovarielle was born into a legacy of music and magic-one of the legendary sound dragons of Whispervale. But everything changed the day an attack stole her sense of smell, severing her from the bond that connects dragonkind. Exiled by instinct and grieving the loss of her family and horde, she vanished into the human world, learning to navigate life through sound instead of scent. In dragon society, scent is everything. It guides memory, emotion, and-most importantly-connection. It is how dragons recognize their mates. Without it, Sovarielle is considered broken, untethered... alone. Years later, a single misstep leads her back into dragon territory-and into a storm of long-forgotten alliances, mythical creatures, and rising tensions. From sirens guarding sacred seas to secretive centaurs with ancient wisdom, Sovarielle's path is shaped by those who see her not as damaged, but different. And as feelings deepen between her and a dragon who seems to know more than he says, she begins to wonder: If dragons find their mates by scent... will she ever truly know if she's found hers? A map of the country is included in the prologue, showing dragon territories, human cities, and key locations mentioned throughout the story. For readers who enjoy diving deeper, I've also created The Scentmarked Archive, which includes an interactive map and expanded lore exploring ancient dragon territories, mysterious islands, siren legends, shifter homelands, and more. You can find the link to the archive and map in my bio. Thank you so much for choosing to step into this world with me.

Indira "Indi" West is a licensed therapist with cerebral palsy and the softest thing in a city that keeps trying to harden her. When she's assigned to run group sessions at King's Corner, the community boxing gym holding half the neighborhood together, she's ready for angry boys, court dates, and panic attacks. She's not ready for Messiah King-the gym's founder, her first love, and the man who once walked her home, then disappeared "to keep her safe." Now they're sharing the same kids, the same circles, the same late nights in a building with his name on it. Indi has rules: no flirting, no blurred lines, no saving men who don't want to save themselves. But watching Messiah stand between these boys and the same streets that almost swallowed him makes it harder to pretend he's just a "community partner." In a world where jail visits feel more normal than report cards, Indi and Messiah are trying to give these kids a different ending... while quietly wondering if they're allowed one too. Includes themes of trauma, incarceration, panic attacks, police encounters, and violence alongside romance, softness, and healing.

She stopped looking at the world the day it stopped being kind. He learned how loud silence can be after fame. Y/n lost her sight slowly - not all at once, but enough to teach her fear. Jeon Jungkook learned to love quietly - not on stage, but in hospital rooms, late-night calls, and footsteps in the dark. When the world turned their love into headlines, they chose honesty. When distance tried to break them, they chose patience. This is not a story about saving someone. It's a story about standing beside someone. Because love doesn't always need to be seen. Sometimes... it just needs to be heard.

No one sees how hard she's working to stay invisible. Then he walks in-new to town, soft-spoken, carrying the kind of secrets that feel a little too familiar. And when a routine appointment turns into something more dangerous, Ivy's carefully built life begins to shift. Every person she tattoos carries a story. But hers? That's the one she's still trying to outrun. A raw, emotional story of survival, grief, and the truths we bury beneath the skin. Romance/Thriller/Mystery
