1: Sunflowers in Bloom by Nora Fares Nora Fares beautifully brings Lizzie and Nate to life in this tale of other-worldly love. If you haven't read this: you should.
2: Welded Together by aroslav This is nominally a cheating tale, which normally I would shy from, but aroslav drew me in with his language and characters and wouldn't let go. This story is far more about characters and life than simple cheating. The writing is superb. Go read it.
