    Summary

    "Do you think there's something wrong with me?" Shane broke the silence, lifting his gaze slightly. Ilya frowned and shook his head no immediately. "Ilya... there has to be. These meltdowns or whatever they are aren't normal. I know that."

    "Not being 'normal' doesn't mean you have a problem, Shane," Ilya countered softly, resting his chin against his husband's temple, settling him even closer against his body.

    "I'm sorry..." Shane's voice came out small. His unfocused gaze wandered around the room while his fingers mechanically scratched under Anya's chin. She was now blinking slowly, surrendering to sleep.

    "For what?"

    "It's just..." Shane let out a shaky sigh. "You're the one with depression. I'm the one who should be taking care of you, not the other way around. Having these meltdowns..."

    Summary

    A reclusive, brooding poet obsessed with cravats and Lord Byron falls completely head over heels in love with an emotionally stable farmer who teaches him the power of found family through mutual pining, being an adorable dork, and taking no shit from his family.

    Apologies. I'm not great at blurbs.

    All joking aside. This is just my long, rambling, Elliott/reader fic that I've been thinking about for years.

    There will be love, and a life built together and stupid arcs where they're complete fools. There will be emotional beats, unlearning generational trauma, found family, great friends and bad poetry. Did I mention the poetry will be bad? Please, don't judge my writing based on the poems. If you're going to suspend your belief, let it be over the bad poetry.

    Summary

    A warm breeze passed through the garage.

    “I’m actually saving up so I can move back to the city,” Sebastian said softly. Haley had never heard him talk this much. “I want to buy back my dad's store and keep running it. For him.”

    Yoba, that was so sweet. And sad. And super dorky.

    “I’m trying to get out of here, too,” Haley said. “But rent in Zuzu is so Yoba-damn expensive.”

    Sebastian slid out from under his motorcycle. “Any particular reason why you want to leave?” he asked.

    Haley shrugged. “Not really. Just, you know….”

    “Pelican Town?”

    “Pelican Town.”
