"I don't need a fucking caretaker. I'm grown. I can handle my shit." - Aamani Storm ☘︎ Lights, camera, action. Aamani Storm is the kind of woman the world watches with their mouths half-open and their hearts half-jealous. The Golden Girl of Hollywood, dazzling, untouchable, and dangerously brilliant. With a sharp tongue, perfect image, and an iron grip on an empire she didn't even create, Aamani doesn't just live in the spotlight, she does more, she rules it. She knows what they all say behind closed doors: that "she's difficult", "impossible", "too much." That she's everything they wish they were but would never dare to be. Good. She didn't fight to get to the top just to be liked. She fought to survive. And in this world, control is everything. Her control is everything. So when someone new enters the picture, someone quiet, unreadable, unafraid, Aamani tells herself it's temporary. A complication, nothing more. A presence she didn't ask for and doesn't need. But she doesn't flinch. Not when Aamani's at her worst. Not when her mask slips. Not even when the cracks begin to show and everything Aamani has buried threatens to rise to the surface. And suddenly, control doesn't feel like power anymore. It feels like a cage. And Aamani knows if she looses it, she looses everything she's fought for. So her only question now is, how far is she willing to go to keep the power she's built her life on? And is it all worth loosing the people who stand beside her?

"You're a headfuck, a complete headfuck." Red's back is turned as she breathes before heavy raindrops meet her face. "Where is this coming from?" Layla asks out of confusion as she attempts to pull Red by the wrist when Red pulls away quickly. "Don't- don't touch me." Red's voice comes out as a low raspy tone as she towers over Layla, brown meeting green. "Why?" Layla asks, gulping. "Because if you touch me, i'm scared i won't be able to hold back." Red hesitantly speaks as raindrops slide off her face and fall onto Layla's. "Then let me." _____ Reagan Levine and Layla Elsher are high school students in Northern England.

Ms. Calloway

35 parts Ongoing Mature

teacher x student | wlw | age gap Jennifer Campbell has always done what's expected of her. She's the perfect daughter, the smiling friend, the bright, outgoing senior. But under the surface, she's barely holding it together. Between the pressure to be everything her parents want and the weight of expectations she can't live up to, she's starting to crack. Failing calculus is just the beginning. Catching feelings for her new calculus teacher--a woman--was never part of the plan. Leona Calloway is 45, quiet by nature, and more at home with numbers than with people. She spent years working as an architect, building other people's dreams, before deciding she needed something different--something slower, quieter, but still close to what she loves. When a teaching position opened up in Midtown, she took a chance. Now, she spends her days in the classroom, her evenings in her little cottage with her pets and true crime shows, and for the first time in years, she feels like she's exactly where she's meant to be. But when Jennifer walks into her life--bright, messy, and entirely off-limits--everything Leona thought she wanted begins to shift. What starts as tension grows into something neither of them expected. Jennifer is fighting to understand herself, and Leona is doing everything she can to hold the line. But the more they try to pull away, the closer they seem to get.
