Read fix-it →
sami · Healing
Stories centered on recovery — physical, emotional, or both — where the plot is less about what broke a character and more about the slow, nonlinear work of putting themselves back together. Often paired with a patient love interest or a supportive found family.

sami · Childhood Friends to Lovers
Two people who grew up side by side — sandbox, sleepovers, shared scraped knees — realize somewhere along the way that what they feel stopped being friendship years ago. The history is the romance: every memory becomes evidence in hindsight.
