Summary
Dina’s a 22-year-old English major with a crush on the kind of girl who only dates cool, confident queers. Dina is none of those things. She’s never dated a girl, panics whenever she tries, and the one time she made eye contact with her in the campus café, she dropped her phone into her latte.
Ellie is also 22, a college senior, and one failing grade away from blowing her art degree and losing her scholarship. She needs to pass Contemporary Poetry and the Queer Form to graduate, and she needs help doing it.
Ellie’s dated enough girls to know how the game works. She does not have time for someone else’s gay panic. But she’s also just desperate enough to say yes when Dina proposes a trade: tutoring for tutoring. Books for girls. Clean deal.
Until it isn’t.
Because the more time they spend together in study sessions and late-night practice flirting, the more the plot starts to shift.
Will Dina get the unattainable girl of her dreams?
Will Ellie survive poetry with her GPA and emotional detachment intact?
Or will they both realize they’ve been writing the wrong story all along?The College AU/Tutoring AU/Cyrano De Bergerac AU trifecta you didn't expect from me.

Summary
“I’m struggling, and by writing these letters, I can get out anything I’m feeling, fold it up and put it away, and nobody has to know but me. It’s been months since I got to Yvaga, and I’m only getting worse. I don’t want that for myself. You wouldn’t want that, either, so I’ve decided to heal—For you.”

Summary
Turning thirty wasn’t supposed to be a crisis.
Ellie’s over her evil ex, ready to put herself out there, and definitely not spiraling about the state of her game (or lack thereof).But after some spectacularly bad flirting and one very unexpected complication, her plan for chill, drama-free personal growth might be... on fire.
Which feels rude, since-ya know-she fights fires for a living.
No trope is safe from me, not even Friends With Benefits.

Summary
“You ever wonder why you’re always the one left complaining, Kiramman?” V’s voice was laced with something sharp, something challenging. “Because everyone else just gets on it. You’re quick, but you drive like you’re afraid of your car. Like the thought of losing terrifies you. Maybe that’s why you’re always a step behind me.”
Caitlyn’s breath caught, her hands tightening around her helmet.
“I’m not afraid to lose,” she bit out, but the words didn’t land the way she wanted them to—like something weak was bubbling in her throat.
Vi smirked. “Then prove it.”
