Summary
Dina’s a 22-year-old English major with a crush on the kind of girl who only dates cool, confident queers. Dina is none of those things. She’s never dated a girl, panics whenever she tries, and the one time she made eye contact with her in the campus café, she dropped her phone into her latte.
Ellie is also 22, a college senior, and one failing grade away from blowing her art degree and losing her scholarship. She needs to pass Contemporary Poetry and the Queer Form to graduate, and she needs help doing it.
Ellie’s dated enough girls to know how the game works. She does not have time for someone else’s gay panic. But she’s also just desperate enough to say yes when Dina proposes a trade: tutoring for tutoring. Books for girls. Clean deal.
Until it isn’t.
Because the more time they spend together in study sessions and late-night practice flirting, the more the plot starts to shift.
Will Dina get the unattainable girl of her dreams?
Will Ellie survive poetry with her GPA and emotional detachment intact?
Or will they both realize they’ve been writing the wrong story all along?The College AU/Tutoring AU/Cyrano De Bergerac AU trifecta you didn't expect from me.

Summary
[COMPLETED]
Dina Carter has always followed the plan: a steady boyfriend, a finance degree, a future her parents can be proud of. The only place she truly feels like herself is in Skystrike, the high-octane game where her team feels more like family than friends.
But when Ellie, her sharp, steady, impossibly talented new roommate, moves in, everything shifts. Ellie fits into the team seamlessly, and into Dina’s life even more so. Between scrims, late-night game sessions, and whispered jokes on coffee runs, Ellie makes Dina feel seen in a way she didn’t know she was missing.
Suddenly the future Dina mapped out doesn’t feel so certain. And the sparks she’s trying to ignore? Impossible to hide when you’re queued up side by side.
A slow-burn gamer romance about found family, following your own path, and the girl who makes you question everything.
