Summary
“Are you not afraid, Enid?”
“Oh, almost always.” A soft smile radiates. “But not as much when I’m with you.”
“What if…” Her throat is dry. “I am also afraid?”
The smile simply grows. A golden hand grasps her own. “Then we’ll be afraid together.”
Enid Sinclair, new Head Ranger on Patrol, has a lot of adjusting to do. In addition to a hectic work-life balance, she struggles with becoming less than half human. Meanwhile, her girlfriend suffers through the agony of physical existence.
It’s a busy summer at the national park.

Summary
When vlogger @EnidSinFlair moved into a fixer-upper #ForTheViews, she expected to put up boutique wallpaper, get the best night of sleep ever with a mattress brand deal, and hopefully be sponsored by those Velcro, interchangeable rugs. Enid never anticipated needing to learn how to do demolition for mold removal, fix electrical, and especially – deal with the critters that come with owning a house that is more than one hundred years old. Unable to take it, she reaches out to a cryptic ad for pest removal that brings an even more mysterious young woman into her life.
Wednesday arrives at the house and discovers the mess that Enid has is far beyond the scope of the influencer’s abilities, she decides to offer assistance with her myriad of skills (mostly just so she doesn’t kill herself on camera trying to install a lighting fixture). She soon learns that Enid isn't the girl she claims to be on camera, but Wednesday's got plenty of secrets of her own that need to be revealed.
An unexpected partnership turns into so much more in an AU, multi-chapter adventure.

Summary
Away went Enid’s joyous coworker fantasies, filed back into the same cabinet as fairies, unicorns, and Taylor Swift coming out as gay.
“I know places we can hide” would never be a lyric about closeted lesbian romance, and Wednesday Addams would never be the coworker of her dreams.

Wednesday joins the staff at Nevermore Café. It's the worst thing that could've happened. Until it starts being a little bit okay.- Language:

Summary
Wednesday Addams tries to piece together how it all happened.
How the disdain for her roommate morphed from slight concern into a reluctant fondness, which then mutated into unabashed romantic affection. It felt inevitable, but in a rare kind of way. Like if her parents sneezed differently eight years ago, Enid Sinclair wouldn’t even be a part of her life.
Is this how good luck feels? As if there has been a huge cosmic fuck-up that’s entirely in your favor? And you’re terrified that one day, some executive is going to review the files and fix this glaring anomaly? Then angrily yell at a low-level employee for such a rookie mistake before firing them?
Nothing else makes sense. “Good” things don’t happen to the Addams family. They are a magnet for misfortune.

Summary
It's the start of the semester and Wednesday arrives at an empty dorm room. Driven by fear (which she would never admit) of the unknown, she sets out to find answers only for her and their friends to learn that Enid had transferred schools with no way to reach her.
Bianca watched Wednesday spiral from the loss of her roommate for months when she herself could no longer keep it together and charged into Principal Weems' office to ask if there was anything they could do.
The solution? A Grand Poe Cup Tournament.
The prize? Keep Nevermore from plummeting and being taken over by another academy, save their werewolf princess from the clutches of her evil mother, and give Wednesday Addams a chance at love. But mostly the last two.

Summary
Out of all the things Enid expected in her college experience, rooming with a five foot two, pigtailed probably-serial-killer who was named after a day of the week didn’t make the list. But Enid Sinclair was nothing if not an optimist.
And Wednesday Addams was nothing if not…
Whatever the opposite of Enid was.
…
A.K.A. The college AU where nobody is a werewolf or a psychic but they still work like some weird enemies-to-friends-to-lovers anomaly.

Summary
The photo underneath the headline catches Ava's attention before she can figure out what she’s looking at. It’s a landscape shot of a lighthouse sitting atop a cliff and silhouetted against a bold sunset, its beacon lit. It looks like it’s at the end of the world, surrounded by rocks and the sea.
She frowns.
The ad is for a relief lighthouse keeper. She tentatively scrolls down to look at the duties and requirements, fully expecting to find that she’s unsuited for the job.
Except she’s kind of… perfect for it?
Unmoored, a little lost, and always impulsive, she thinks fuck it and spends the next three hours fixing her resumé, digging for her certification details, and writing an overly enthusiastic cover letter.

Summary
Meredith Grey's famous line goes like this: "I'm all glued back together now. I make no apologies for how I chose to repair what you broke."
Ava thinks her favorite character is a drama queen.
With every sharp breath she takes though, as she feels Beatrice's fingers, Ava starts to believe that maybe her favorite character wasn't joking. Every whisper against her ear sends her deeper into oblivion. Until Ava fades into the darkness, swallowed by the monsters she calls feelings. Ava doesn't mind. With every kiss Beatrice plants on her lips, her neck, her chest, and on her, Ava slowly feels her rationality leave her body.
"Good," Beatrice murmurs against her neck, "Keep begging."
Ava is not above following every word that leaves Beatrice's lips.

Summary
“I could have asked for a portrait,” Beatrice eventually confessed, voice quiet.
From the corner of her eyes, she saw Camila glancing at her. “Why didn’t you?”
“Because if I had, it would have meant that I care about what she looks like. About who she is.”
A hand settled on the crook of her elbow, and she glimpsed at Camila.
“I’m sure she’s a lovely woman,” Camila said with the softest smile.
“It doesn’t matter,” Beatrice replied. Then, after a while, she murmured, “But let’s hope so.”
She was, after all, about to spend the rest of her life with her.- Language:
