Esther Matthews is a 23-year-old grad student, trading creative dreams for lab code. But when she posts one song online, she doesn't expect it to go viral. And she definitely doesn't expect it to catch the eye of Jasmine Watts. Jasmine Watts is a 30-year-old actress, singer, and producer, and Esther's longtime celebrity crush. Esther has admired her from afar for 6 years, but now, Jasmine is the one watching her. Drawn in by Esther's quiet radiance and sincere smile, Jasmine offers her an opportunity to be part of a summer film project that her production company is creating in London. For Esther, it's a second chance at the creative life she thought she left behind. But what begins as admiration quickly turns into a fierce, unexpected connection. Esther grapples with confusion about her identity and fear of rejection. Jasmine battles her own restraint, terrified of mixing business with the feelings the young creative inspires. The film may wrap. The summer may end. But for Esther and Jasmine, it's only the beginning of something that neither of them could ever dream of.

professor x student | wlw | age-gap What does it feel like, when you've spent your whole life learning how to be small, and someone finally asks you how big you really are? Eighteen‑year‑old Antoinette Collins goes through her days quiet and orderly--following every rule, keeping her old hurts buried deep, never letting anyone see how much noise lives inside her head. She works at a neighbourhood café, attends her classes, looks after the people she cares about, and most days it feels like she's just watching herself live from somewhere far away. Then the calm, steady woman who stops by her counter every afternoon turns out to be Gilliane Fletcher, her new professor. Gilliane doesn't demand or push, but she sees things no one else ever has: the way Antoinette holds herself back, the weight she carries without speaking of it, the parts of herself she thinks are too broken to show anyone. When she asks Antoinette to write down the truth of her life, she doesn't ask for something perfect--she asks for something real. This is a story of ordinary days that slowly change everything: conversations held between orders, gentle notes written in the margins of pages, quiet moments where Antoinette finally learns she does not have to be afraid to be seen. It is about growing into yourself, naming feelings you never had words for, and what it means to meet someone who helps you find your own voice--even when you are still learning how to use it.
