Summary
Ellabs academic rivals, enemies to lovers, forced roommates, College AU:
Physics prodigy Ellie Williams came to Harvard for the science, not the social hierarchy. She lives by a simple code: work hard, trust no one, and never, ever, develop feelings for a privileged legacy kid with a perfect jawline.
Too bad her new roommate is Abby Anderson—star rower, daughter of a medical titan, and her direct competition for the only research grant that matters. Abby is polished, disciplined, and the walking, talking embodiment of everything Ellie detests.
They're rivals by design and roommates by a cruel twist of fate. And the more they're forced together, the more they realize their animosity might be hiding something else. Something hot, inconvenient, and utterly undeniable—all while a strange anomaly in Ellie's lab suggests there are secrets at Harvard far more dangerous than their own.

Summary
From her spot on the sandy beach, Ellie can perfectly see the domed building at the edge of Catalina Island. It stands tall and proud with mountains in front and behind. It has white walls and distinct reddish rooftops, and flags surrounding the roof.
Maybe it's all in her head, but she thinks about how Avalon looks like a sanctuary. The scenery and architecture are so amazing that it looks straight out of a brochure. But that's exactly what makes her more skeptical.
She imagined the Fireflies to regroup in an abandoned, sketchy apartment — similar to Boston.
"Ellie." Her name echoes from Abby's chapped lips. Ellie cranes her head slightly, making eye-contact with the blonde girl. She hadn't realized how far Lev and Abby walked as she just stood here lost in thought.
"C'mon," Abby says, urging her to continue with a nod of her head. There's a knowing look on her face as she stares at her. One of understanding.
With one last longing glance in the distance, Ellie follows her and leaves their boat behind.
(Please read my first story “Why Does My Heart Cry?” for it to all make sense!!!)

Summary
Ellabs childhood friends, enemies to lovers, found family, Canon Divergence AU:
In an alternate timeline, Dr. Anderson deems Ellie too young for the cure procedure upon her arrival in Salt Lake City. Abby and Ellie, two trauma-hardened children, form a tenuous friendship. Before a cure plan solidifies, a devastating attack on the Firefly base by hostiles kills Dr. Anderson, scatters survivors, forcing Joel and Ellie to Jackson.
Years later, events conspire to send Ellie on a solitary quest for the lost potential of a cure, leading her to Seattle, where a hardened Abby, still grieving her father and the fall of the Fireflies, is a prominent member of the WLF. Forced together, the echoes of their childhood bond clash with the hardened soldiers they've become.
Amidst a city at war, they unearth not only secrets about the cure but a raw, undeniable connection that terrifies and draws them closer, challenging everything they thought they knew about survival and each other.

Summary
Jackson had changed, and people whispered. They eyed Ellie's marred fingers with suspicion and the outline of her new tattoo with judgment. She imagined what they were saying, wondered if they knew how deep it ached for her childhood bed to creak, and most potently, she longed to leave. A house was not a home, a town not a kinship.
Eventually, she aimed south, the couple who understood in tow. Mexico, she assured herself, will be different. New country. New people. New life. She'd stopped believing in fate long ago, and it was time to take life by her reins, her terms.
But Abby Anderson had to be destiny.
