You move into the old Whitmore House expecting a new beginning. Instead, you find Elias Whitmore. A ghost who has spent over a century unseen, forgotten, and trapped within the walls he once called home. Until you. Now, as hidden secrets begin to surface, you must uncover why the house kept him there… and why you are the first person who can see him.
{y/n} is failing. Not in the dramatic, inspirational “she just needs someone to believe in her” way. She simply has a worrying number of knowledge gaps for someone who is expected to graduate soon. So Rowan Mercer assigns Nick, the school’s annoyingly competent student body president, to tutor her. Every day. What begins as academic damage control becomes late afternoons, study sessions, snacks, arguments, and eventually an actual friendship. Unfortunately, {y/n} already has a boyfriend. And Nick happens to be his friend. Then there’s Dr. Vesper Hale, a teacher who has decided {y/n} is a lost cause and seems determined to make everyone else think so too. Between exams, friendships, first love, breakups, and one increasingly complicated tutoring arrangement, senior year is going about as well as you would expect. Which is to say, not very.
A stupid dare. One text. Six years of silence broken in seconds. When Y/N’s guy best friend challenges her to message the one person she swore she would never contact again, she expects nothing. After all, six years have passed, and surely her ex has forgotten her. But his reply comes almost instantly. “I know it’s you. Hi, pretty girl.” What starts as a harmless joke quickly turns into a reunion neither of them expected. With old memories resurfacing, unresolved feelings returning, and the same undeniable chemistry still between them, Y/N has to face the question she tried so hard to avoid: did they really move on, or did they just learn how to live without each other?
Every night at exactly 2:17, Y/N dreams of the same stranger. They never meet in the same place twice, but somehow he always finds her, always knows the waltz, and always seems to remember more than she does. She has no idea who he is or why he feels so familiar. A dream, a past life, an alternate reality, or something else entirely? Then one night, he remembers something she doesn’t: a life where they had already met. And now Y/N has to figure out whether she’s dreaming about him, remembering him, or somehow finding him again.
Nico has terrible luck with dating. Somehow, every person he meets starts out normal and ends up becoming another ridiculous story Y/N has to hear about. After one disastrous date too many, they create a simple solution: whenever Nico sends an emergency signal, Y/N shows up and rescues him with an over-the-top performance as his angry girlfriend, jealous ex, or mysterious lover. It starts as a joke. A way for two best friends to escape awkward situations and laugh about them afterward. But after countless fake arguments, convincing displays of affection, and moments that feel a little too natural, the line between pretending and reality starts to blur. Because when everyone else already thinks they’re together… maybe they’re the only two people who haven’t noticed why it feels so easy.
Six weeks before the wedding, everything is already going wrong. Elara Whitmore and Callum Hayes are completely in love, which would be adorable if they weren’t also two of the most stubborn people to ever plan a wedding. What starts as a few minor disasters quickly turns into missing vendors, impossible schedules, family drama, questionable decisions, and increasingly unreasonable demands. Caught in the middle are their best friends, {y/n}, the maid of honor, and Reid Ardent, the groom’s best friend and man of honor. Neither of them signed up to become a full-time wedding crisis manager. Unfortunately, they’re the only two people capable of stopping Elara and Callum from accidentally destroying their own wedding. At first, {y/n} and Reid are simply two exhausted strangers trying to keep things under control. Then they become a surprisingly effective team. Shared errands turn into inside jokes. Arguments become something they laugh about together. Late-night planning becomes an excuse to keep talking. Somewhere between fixing everyone else’s problems, they start becoming friends. And then, inconveniently, that friendship starts feeling like something else. With six weeks until the wedding, there are still plenty of disasters waiting to happen, friendships to test, plans to ruin, and feelings that neither of them is particularly prepared to deal with. The wedding is supposed to be about Elara and Callum. Unfortunately, nobody told {y/n} and Reid that they weren’t allowed to fall in love somewhere along the way.
They trust each other. They love each other. They just happen to be absolute menaces. When Y/N catches their boyfriend flirting with someone else, they decide to flirt right back. Except neither of them gets properly jealous. Instead, they discover something much more interesting: they both love watching the other get attention. Soon, flirting becomes a game, jealousy becomes foreplay, and every night out turns into a silent competition over who can make the other crack first. The only problem? They’re having way too much fun being terrible.
