Summary
Will didn’t tell anyone why she left Michigan. She just showed up in Texas with a half-packed bag and a bruised heart, looking for quiet, for distance.
The ranch was supposed to be an escape Something still, something simple. But between late nights on the porch, too-long glances, and the kind of silence that says more than words, Will starts to want things she swore she was done wanting. Joel Miller is older, closed-off, and entirely wrong.
A slowburn story, forbidden tension, starting over, and the heat that simmers just beneath the surface.

Summary
Joel Miller is your best friend’s uncle—Sarah’s dad, Tommy’s brother. He’s tied to everyone you love, woven into the fabric of your life. But when he returns after years of silence and sorrow following a tragedy, something between you shifts. Desire begins to grow through the cracks of shared grief.

Summary
When your high-powered marketing career goes up in flames, you find yourself back in Texas and out of options—until your old childhood best friend Tommy offers you a job at his family’s growing construction company. The only catch? His older brother Joel, the project manager with a chip on his shoulder and zero patience for your city-slicker attitude.
You clash instantly: you’re clever, confident, and painfully corporate. He’s quiet, rugged, and set in his ways. You push his buttons. He pushes back harder. But somewhere between long meetings, late nights, resurfacing memories, and hurt, along with one very unexpected work trip… the tension starts to shift.
What begins as bickering turns into banter. Glances linger. Walls crack. And neither of you is quite sure when things started to change.

Summary
Ever since Sarah... well, ever since Sarah ten years ago, Joel's stayed as far away from kids as he can. Just the sight of one is practically enough to send him into a panic attack.
But then Tommy signs them up for a contracting job at a high school as a favor to an old army buddy.
And then there's a little girl in the front office, who somehow appears in the coffee shop Joel visits because the motel's coffee machine is shit.
Most damning is when Joel goes in to do some work at three in the morning and that same goddamn little girl is asleep in his construction zone and, when he wakes her up, says she's homeless.
Next thing he knows, she's asleep in his motel bed and he's filing foster parent paperwork.
What the fuck just happened?
(Foster parent AU! Featuring Joel Trying His Best And FailingTM, Ellie annoying local man and his friends & family into adopting her, and Tess/Joel as a lil treat for the masses.)

Summary
Lycanthropes, while few and far between, exist alongside humans, cohabiting civilization as well as they can with the social challenges of being 'other.' Joel and the Millers are among this small demographic, and while life is hard, they have their little pack and are surviving - at least, until the outbreak happens.
(Basically, TLOU + werewolves = this)

Summary
She lied down, the water covered her ears, her eyes kept spilling tears and that knot in her throat was released letting her sobs to be louder.
And she remembered him.
“If somehow… the Lord gave me… a second chance…"
“Is that what you want?” someone asked, but she didn’t hear them “Stop crying, child.”
She heard the voice sigh and the next thing she knew was that she was being swallowed by the ocean.
She didn’t know who or what was in front of her. It was an entity, magical, mythical or heavenly, she didn’t have a fucking clue.
“A second chance, is that what you want?” they asked without moving their lips.
“It is, but…” her tears kept spilling from her eyes but instead of roading down her cheeks they floated on the water around her face “Are you asking because you can make it true?”
“If that is what you want.”
Or the one where Ellie is the one with a selfish path in front of her... and she takes it.
