Summary
When Ellie Williams gets in trouble with the law after spending the last year between care homes, she gets cut a deal. Either carry out her parole working on a ranch in the middle of butt-fuck nowhere Jackson County, or face time in Juvie. It's a no-brainer, an easy decision. At least, that's what she thinks before she meets the owner's fiery daughter, the stoner ranch hand and her own past demons in the shape of a horse.
An AU! in which Ellie is a troubled kid working as a ranch hand, and Dina is a seemingly entitled trick rider, and they both learn to let the other in.

Summary
If Ellie thought surviving an apocalypse was easier than navigating university, she was wrong. She has to juggle school, sports, her feelings, and maintaining her relationships. Working hard to survive her adolescence is a struggle every day.
Or just an Alternate Universe where our favorite kids attend the same university and fall helplessly in love.

So, she stands up. A new sense of confidence creeping its way deep inside her.
OR
In the aftermath of being left alone, Ellie heads to Jackson under the pretext of returning JJ's toy and maybe earn something else in return.

Summary
and some things can.
(A story that picks up on the night Ellie leaves the farm, from the moment the door closes behind her. She never makes it out of the yard.)
//
“I said if you loved me, you would stay,” Dina says carefully, crossing the room to stand opposite Ellie, arms folded around her sides, like she’s trying to hold the pieces of herself together, keep her spine from crumpling under the weight.
“I am staying,” Ellie says quietly, eyes looking up to meet Dina’s.
Dina presses her hands on the table in front of her, leaning forward to look more closely at Ellie. “I don’t believe you,” she replies, hating herself for how vulnerable her voice sounds.- Language:

Summary
This takes place five years after the events of TLOU2.
By chance, Dina stumbles upon Ellie deep in the Wyoming woods. She tries to reject the feelings she has buried all these years but they are steadily resurfacing as her ex-lover creeps her way back into her life.
Ellie has spent the last five years as a drifter, refusing to call anything home. She finds herself back where her life fell apart and in front of the one person she never stopped loving.
But soon their respective past catches up to them and threatens their safety and security. Will they be able to work together to save everything they love?
Teaser:
Her hair was longer, tied in a low bun and she was leaner, strong looking, mature. But Dina could never forget the distinct eyebrow slit and the sharp features of her face. She was still beautiful as she remembered.“You’re alive.” Dina said in disbelief. She rushed towards the redhead and into her arms. She soaked in the familiar warmth of her ex-lover then clasped her face to bring her in for kiss. As their lips met, Dina almost wept. The feelings were flooding back. She hungrily kissed Ellie, parting her lips to slick her tongue against hers.

“Uh,” Ellie stutters. “I guess that’s your risk to take.”

Summary
"The air catches dry in her throat all the same as she runs her hand over the soft, worn fabric. She brings it close to her face, slowly closes her eyes, and breathes in the lingering scent.
It smells like…
...like the earth out in the woods.
Like the soap they all share in the bath, tinged with lavender.
Like the oil she watched Ellie rub into the fretboard of her old guitar.
Like whiskey.
Like Ellie.
She can almost feel her again, right there with her. Like Ellie is still standing behind her, arms wrapping around her waist, fingers tugging at her hips, breath warm on her neck. Her mouth brushing the skin just below her ear, whispering low, asking if she wants her to stop.
God. How did she ever tell her to stop?
She should have never told her to stop."
A slow burn, Dina-centric story about how love lingers, and whether it can ever find its way back home through the wreckage it leaves behind.

Summary
This work is currently published as a series of the same title, but I am in the process of turning it into a single work with multiple chapters, which is a more appropriate format. I will continue to publish as works in a series while I work on this transition, in order to keep track of existing storylines. New one every two weeks!
This is the story of six great monarchs in the making, some of whom will rise and fall, some of whom will rise, fall, and rise again. As they discover their destinies and the magic surrounding them, they must fight all manner of otherworldly and worldly evil to save the world from enslavement and doom. As they take and lose power, they are drawn to each other, and must fight side by side against their common enemies.- Language:

Summary
When Luna suggests, after Ginny suffers through the latest in a long line of comically bad dates, that the solution to all of her problems lies in brewing a love potion, she thinks it's all a big joke.
Obviously, magic isn't real. Luna's potion recipe is nothing more than a novelty, sold to tourists enamoured with the legends surrounding their historical hometown of Godric's Hollow.
Of course, Ginny really should've learned by now that her plans have a tendency to go awry. So it really shouldn't come as that much of a surprise to her when, the very next day, half the town seems to find her utterly...bewitching
The only person who appears to be immune to the enchantment she's accidentally cast, is the one person who she wishes saw her as something more than his best friend's little sister; typically, even the miracle of actual magic can't capture Harry Potter's interest, and now he's the only person who can help her fix this latest mess she's created...
