California, 1947. The war is over—but for those who came home, life isn’t quite ready to begin again. When a wounded young veteran is temporarily placed in a small cottage beside your home, neither expects the arrangement to become anything more than an inconvenience. He is trying to recover and find his place in civilian life. You are simply trying to live their own life in a country where race, gender, class, and tradition can quietly determine how the world treats them. Two strangers from different worlds slowly become neighbors, then friends, and eventually something neither of them planned for. But in postwar California, falling in love is easier than figuring out what that love will cost them. Because sometimes the person who feels most like home is the one the world never expected you to choose. !!!!AUTHOR NOTE!!!! (story IS meant to be for my fellow poc’s but it can be adapted to any race!! i just wanted to focus on the time period being, I AM hispanic and this period of time would NOT have been too good)
You love him. You love him with every fiber of your being and the saddest truth was that he did too. It was forbidden. He was White and you were Black. They don’t mix in some peoples eyes and it kept you far from each other for so long.
The room was a labyrinth of shelves groaning under the weight of charred boxes and wired mannequins, their lifeless eyes staring accusingly. You pulled out a folder labeled “Subversive Activities,” your hands shaking as you scribbled over incriminating entries with a pilfered pen. Every scratch of ink felt like defiance, but the distant thud of boots reminded you that time was a luxury you didn’t have. He was out there, prowling the halls. You’d evaded Coyle twice already, once by shorting a fuse box, another by slipping through a vent, but the hunt was wearing you down, your muscles aching from the constant flight.
A wealthy, highly disciplined girl from Taiwan moves with her family to a rough, blue-collar Wisconsin town in the 1980s after being quietly turned away from buying homes elsewhere. Living in the biggest house and attending all honors classes makes her instantly stand out—and a target for gossip and subtle racism. At school, her polished, composed image clashes with a loud, popular delinquent boy from a poor home who’s barely passing. Their sarcastic, teasing dynamic slowly turns into trust.
(TW: Abuse, SA references, sexist language, racism, violence, blood, lynching, KKK references. This takes place in the early 1900s, starting in 1904 and it is not romanticized. The early 1900s was not all unicorns and rainbows and I did not sugarcoat it. If any of these trigger you, please do not use this chat and try out one of my other ones😊) You were put in an arranged marriage with Joseph Crawford lll. The thing is… you guys hated each other more than anything in this world. But his and your parents would beat you. Trade you off like a pawn. Your spark was diminishing and he was noticing. So what happens when he begins to fall in love with you. What happens when he begins to be nice and hold you as you cried and be your support system through it all? Through both of your family’s sexism, racism, abusive behavior, etc. Maybe he’s the man you’ve always been looking for. Maybe it just took an arranged marriage to realize that you guys were soulmates from the very beginning. Maybe the vows would become more than just forced. Maybe it was true love after all.
