New had always admired Helio's son from the moment he first laid eyes on him. He watched him constantly from the safety of his territory, longing to run his fingers through his hair, feel his warm skin his his hand and get lost in those dazzling eyes. One day it seems like his wish was granted when the boy suddenly stubbornly swims out further than he should despite protests from the shore. Too bad that not all good things are built to last because soon after tragedy strikes. Almost immediately Tawan is whisked away and out of his life for good... Or so he thought. On the cusp of fleeing an arranged marriage and needing to get back what he gave, the boys meet on the very same shores once more. Questions on fate and boundaries arise as both try to nagivate their way in this world. 2 hearts, one story, 2 souls, one destiny.

Astrid Delacroix's entire life has always been arranged and dictated by her brothers. Whatever they say, she follows. She tries her best to be the good, sweet, and obedient sister they always expected her to be. Why? Aside from the fact that they've raised and took care of Astrid since their parents' died, it's also out of guilt because of what she did four years ago that put their eldest brother in a comatose. Now, Astrid is twenty-one and still lives her life the way her brothers expects her to, controlling every aspects of her life to the point she no longer knows who she really is and what she really wants. But as long as her brothers are pleased and happy with her, Astrid no longer cared. That is until she meets a enigmatic man named Atreus Evans. Everything began to change for Astrid as she slowly gets to know Atreus. Sweet and gentle Astrid managed to charm the brooding man who hides secrets of his own. And as Astrid and Atreus got even more closer, for the first time in her life, Astrid wanted to put herself and her happiness first, no longer caring about her strict, overprotective brothers. What do you think will happen? /not your typical brothers and sister trope/

Drawing upon the works and interviews of James Baldwin, Audre Lorde, June Jordan, Roger Reeves, Morgan Parker, Safia Elhillo, Aria Aber, and Solmaz Sharif, among others, DISLOCATIONS seeks to investigate and disrupt the dominant narratives of exile and displacement (which often excludes Black Americans) and what Roger Reeves refers to as our "American complicity," referring to our simultaneous roles as victim and victimizer, and the fact that we benefit from the exploits of empire, whether we directly support our government, or consider ourselves "proud Americans," or not. © Z.

Ten years ago, they were neighbors. Ten years ago, they were everything. And then, ten years ago, Luke disappeared without a word, leaving Maeve to pick up the pieces of a life he was no longer part of. Now, a random weekend staycation has thrown them back into the same orbit. They aren't kids anymore, but the history between them hasn't aged a day. Neither of them knows how to navigate the feelings that are starting to resurface-feelings that go much deeper than a childhood crush. They are both in total denial about how much they still matter to each other, playing a dangerous game of who can act more indifferent while the air between them screams otherwise. In a world of missed signals and ten years of secrets, they are one heartbeat away from losing each other for the second time. How do you bridge a gap that's been ten years in the making? Author's Note Note: This story contains explicit language and mature themes. This story has been sitting in my drafts since 2023, and I'm finally reworking the plot and filling in the gaps to give these characters the depth they deserve. Heavily inspired by music and the "what ifs" of life, this is my first long-form story, and I'm so excited to finally share it with you. This serves as an alternative/extended ending to the short story 'You Weren't Mine To Lose' from the Whispers In The Wind collection. Thank you for joining me on this journey!
