Summary
A slow-burn AU about two women learning how to heal, love, and choose each other after surviving the worst parts of their lives.
Carina DeLuca came to Seattle to build a life in medicine, but a devastating apartment fire changes everything. Scarred, heartbroken, and convinced she’s unlovable, she retreats into a quiet job at a bookstore and a life lived behind layers of clothing and fear.Maya Bishop is a rising lieutenant with a past she doesn’t talk about and a smile she uses to hide how lonely she really is.
When Maya walks into Carina’s bookstore two years after the fire, an unexpected spark begins to unravel the walls both women have built. What starts as awkward flirting becomes a slow, aching, beautifully messy connection between two people terrified of being seen — and even more terrified of being left.As they move through fear, trauma, laughter, desire, breaking points, and the raw honesty of falling in love for the first real time, Maya and Carina discover that healing isn’t linear…but it’s a little easier when someone chooses to walk through the dark with you. A story about scars, softness, home, and the slow courage of letting someone love you.

Summary
Carina Deluca doesn’t believe soulmates are real.
She has real life evidence, one very convincing pitch and a new column at Seattle’s most prominent women’s magazine aiming to prove it.
What she doesn’t aim for is meeting Maya Bishop and watching everything she was so sure of slowly and completely fall apart…one date at a time.

Summary
AU-gust Day 13
Prompt: Farmers MarketEvery Sunday, Maya visits the same flower stall to buy her grandmother a bouquet.
What starts as a simple way to bring some colour back into her grandmother’s home, slowly becomes something else entirely, when Maya finds herself looking forward to talking to the woman behind the stall just as much as the flowers.
Eight Sundays, eight bouquets, a little coffee, a lot of flirting, and one very determined grandmother later, Maya might finally have a reason to stop pretending the flowers are the real reason she keeps coming back.

Summary
AU-gust Day 9
Prompt: Food TruckThey’ve spent four years competing for the best pitch, the biggest crowds, and the highest sales, so what happens when Carina’s food truck breaks down minutes before the lunch rush at Seattle’s biggest food festival?
With half a kitchen, two menus, and no time to argue, Maya and Carina find themselves working side by side, and discovering that maybe grilled cheese and pasta aren’t such natural enemies after all.

Summary
AU-gust Day 1
Prompt: Pretend RelationshipMaya Bishop’s day went spectacularly wrong when she accidentally spilt not one, but two coffees over a complete stranger inside a Seattle coffee shop.
To make up for it, she replaced the drinks, lent the woman her spare shirt… and somehow ended up agreeing to be her fake girlfriend for a family wedding that evening.
It was only supposed to be one night.
One wedding.
One little lie.
One fake relationship.The only problem?
Pretending turned out to be far easier than noticing the moment it became real.
