edit data

Elena & Grant are the authors of the One Life series, an episodic work of autobiographical erotica rooted in lived experience, emotional risk, and radical honesty.

Professionals by day and explorers by nature, they write about desire as it actually unfolds—messy, exhilarating, confronting, and deeply human. Their work traces the moment a chance encounter becomes something transformative, following the consequences of choosing openness over convention and truth over comfort.

One Life is not fantasy in the traditional sense. It is a chronicle of real choices, real encounters, and the intimacy that grows when nothing is hidden. Sometimes graphic, always intentional, the series explores sexuality, connection, and love without shame—while never pr ...more

The emotional journey at the heart of the series—the attraction, the conversations, the risks taken in choosing honesty—is drawn directly from our lived experience. Many of the questions the characters face are questions we faced ourselves: what to share, when to share it, and how much truth a relationship can hold without breaking.

At the same time, One Life is not a memoir. Names, places, timelines, and identifying details have been changed or reshaped to protect privacy and to allow the story to function as a narrative rather than a record. Some events are condensed, others expanded, and certain scenes are constructed to express emotional truth rather than literal chronology.

What remains unchanged is the intent. The series aims to capture what it feels like to open yourself fully to another person—to reveal desire, history, and vulnerability—and to live with the consequences of that openness. Readers don’t need to know which moments happened exactly as written to engage with the honesty behind them.

In that sense, One Life is autobiographical at its core, with thoughtful artistic license.(less)

What kind of readers is One Life written for?

The series is explicit, but it isn’t interested in shock or easy fantasy. It’s for readers who want to see what happens when attraction turns into connection, when people speak openly about what they want, and when honesty deepens both desire and emotional risk. Sex matters in these stories because it’s part of how the characters communicate, test boundaries, and build trust.

One Life may resonate most with readers who are curious about relationships that don’t follow prescribed rules, and who are comfortable sitting with ambiguity rather than neat answers. The characters don’t always make safe or universally admirable choices—but they make deliberate ones, and they live with the outcomes.

Ultimately, this series is for readers who believe that love and desire are inseparable, that truth can be both unsettling and arousing, and that intimacy becomes most powerful when nothing important is left unsaid.(less)

Why We Wrote One Life

One Life began as a conversation between two people falling for each other—and realising that honesty mattered more than polish.

When Elena and Grant met, attraction was immediate, but connection came later. What deepened it wasn’t just what we felt in the present, but what we were willing to share from the past. Writing became a way of opening those doors. Telling each other our stories—desire, mi Read more of this blog post »
