    Childhood friend

    You’re halfway through your second lap when you feel it— someone watching. You slow down, pushing hair out of your face, and glance toward the football field. Bad idea. He’s there. Of course he is. Standing with his teammates, laughing like he doesn’t have a care in the world—like he didn’t just completely ruin your focus by existing. “You’re staring again.” You look away immediately. “I’m not.” Your best friend snorts. “Y/N. It’s my brother.” “I hate you.” “No, you don’t.” You grab your water bottle, trying to ignore the way your heart sped up for no reason. Or… a very specific reason. “Hey, Y/N.” Your stomach drops. You turn. And there he is—walking toward you like it’s nothing. Like he hasn’t been your biggest weakness since you were ten. “Hey,” you say, hoping your voice sounds normal. He gives you a small smile. “You’ve been out here long?” “Just started.” “Figures,” he nods. “You’re always working.” There’s a pause. Then— “You look different this year.” Your breath catches. “Different how?” He shrugs, but his eyes don’t leave yours. “Better.” And just like that— your entire season is already off to a complicated start.

    The flower shop

    In the quiet, canopy-shaded village of Oakhaven, everyone knows your place in the story: you are the unassuming gardener at the edge of the woods, a permanent background character who blends right into the scenery. But behind closed doors, you possess a rare, forbidden gift—the ability to distill flawless love potions from midnight-blooming flora. It is a trade that demands a cruel equilibrium: the price for weaving love for everyone else is a cosmic curse that makes it impossible for anyone to ever fall in love with you. Your quiet, invisible existence is upended when the village's golden-boy hero, Kit Vance, storms into your shop desperate for a miracle to win an untouchable lady. He brings along his tight-knit posse, including a sharp-witted hunter trying to catch his eye, and Silas Kross—a rugged, hot-tempered brawler who relies entirely on his gut instincts to read a room. But the moment Silas steps into your shop, his instincts completely short-circuit against your curse. Instead of looking past you like the rest of the world, Silas becomes intensely, aggressively confused by the mysterious void where his intuition should be. As the group keeps returning for potion tune-ups, a strange friction builds in the quiet spaces of your shop, where a grumpy skeptic’s stubborn curiosity refuses to let a background character stay in the dark.

    Summer meeting you

    I'd never seen a sky this big before. The farther Willa's truck drove into Montana, the more the world seemed to open up. Endless fields stretched toward snow-capped mountains, wildflowers lined the roads, and every turn looked like something straight out of a postcard. "This is normal for you?" I asked, staring out the window. Willa laughed. "Pretty much." "I would've stopped the car a hundred times already." "You've already made me stop three times." "And I'd do it again." She rolled her eyes but smiled as she pulled over one more time so I could take pictures. The fresh mountain air, the quiet roads, and the endless views felt completely different from everything I was used to. As we continued toward Silver Creek, the highways turned into small country roads surrounded by ranches, horses, and old wooden fences. Every few minutes, someone waved at Willa from their truck or porch. "You know everyone here?" I asked. "It's a small town," she said. "Everyone knows everyone." Soon, a wooden sign came into view. WELCOME TO SILVER CREEK, MONTANA I looked around as we drove through town. A small diner sat beside a bakery, pickup trucks lined the streets, and people greeted each other like they were family. It was quiet, simple, and nothing like home. I had come to Montana expecting nothing more than a summer with my best friend. I had no idea this little town—and the people in it—would change everything.

    Portraits of the unseen

    Ravenswood Academy rises from the London fog like a cathedral of privilege — a place of marble halls, polished shoes, and secrets whispered behind gloved hands. Y/N arrives alone, a scholarship student with nothing but a worn satchel and an artist’s eye that sees too much. Among the elite heirs and perfect uniforms, you slip through the crowd unnoticed, a quiet shadow in a world built for the wealthy. But the academy shifts the moment a white carriage glides through the gates. Its arrival silences the courtyard, and the students straighten as if royalty has stepped onto the stone. You don’t look back — you don’t belong in their world — yet the air feels different, charged, as if something has begun without your permission. You don’t know his name. You don’t see his face. Not yet. But somewhere behind you, a boy with winter‑blue eyes watches the fog swallow your silhouette… and feels the first crack in the perfect life he’s been forced to live. At Ravenswood, every secret has a price — and some stories begin long before the characters realize they’ve already collided.

    Striking matches

    Setting: A prestigious, elite boarding school in 1980s Europe. Logline: When a fierce, working-class tomboy shatters the rigid hierarchy of an old-money European academy by tackling the school's "It-Girl" in a crowded hallway, she catches the attention of the one boy who has everything—and is bored by all of it. Blurb: To the aristocratic elite of St. Jude’s Academy, Ethan Vance is untouchable royalty. Effortlessly rich, fiercely protected by his wealthy inner circle, and trailing a flawless reputation, he lives his life entirely in the spotlight. Then there is Y/N, a cynical, independent scholarship student who prefers oversized leather jackets, fixing motorbikes, and keeping far away from high society drama. They’ve shared the same cobblestone courtyards for three years and have spoken zero words. But when Ethan’s elitist friend, Chloe, pushes Y/N too far with a public insult, Y/N doesn't shrink away—she fights back, leaving Chloe disheveled on the floor and the school in absolute shock. Forced into after-school campus service together after Ethan volunteers to take a hysterical Chloe's place, two completely different worlds collide in the quiet, dim corners of the old estate. Safe from the watchful eyes of the European elite, Ethan is captivated by the one girl who refuses to bow to his name, while Y/N is forced to realize that behind the golden boy's perfect facade lies a suffocating reality. As the rumor mill spins out of control, Ethan must decide if he's ready to turn his back on his toxic heritage for a girl who is entirely, unapologetically real

    Gold and dust

    My soul catches you

    Every Saturday night on the cracked asphalt of Frenchmen Street, twenty-four-year-old user and their three-piece street crew play for the sheer soul of it. With a weathered washboard, an upright bass, and a custom, metallic-wailing cyclops dobro, they pull the raw, bleeding heartbeat of the Delta blues right out of the humid Louisiana air. They never expected anyone important to listen. Until tonight. Standing in the neon shadows is Nikolai "Klaus" Vance, a brilliant, ruthless twenty-five-year-old entertainment tycoon straight from the old-money boardrooms of Austria. He doesn't want to buy a CD; he wants to buy the sound. When a slick European contract collides with uncommercialized Southern soul, the quiet weekend street sessions are about to become a very high-stakes, very serious business. Grab a chicory coffee and step into the midnight heat—where the music is thick as molasses, and a single song can change everything.
