Elara’s Stories

These are the writings of a Latin girl who grew up with Jane Austen in one hand and a Wolverine comic in the other…

Who watched Marvel movies in theaters on opening day and fell asleep to the insane dialogue of Stars Hollow…

The girl who didn’t perfect her makeup routine until after high school and who got asked to prom “as a friend”—because she was never the first choice…

A girl who lives on the edge of two worlds—who cusses like boy, isn’t afraid of a fight, still loves flowers, and melts when held while reading poetry.

These stories are for those who were told their desires were dirty, or forbidden, and had to keep secrets from parents, partners, or themselves.

They are a lot of things because I’m a lot of things— silly, chaotic, sarcastic, wild, fun, dark, intense, emotional—

But most of all, they are insanely human!

Because to me, today— that’s what defiance looks like.

So boys, you’re invited to enjoy—

As they say in Italy, “Se ti comporti bene, ti do un biscotto.”

but this one…

This one is for the girls.

Nerdy and romantic. Fierce and soft. Messy and magical. 💛
