Aurora Lockheart was once the sunshine girl-bright, kind, and full of life. But one night changed everything, leaving her a shadow of who she used to be. A year later, just as she's beginning to think she'll never find her way back, her ex-best friend, Gerard Gibson, steps in to save her once again. Sometimes, the path to healing begins with the person you thought you'd lost forever. ------ gerard gibson x fem!oc ©liawrit3ss

𝕱𝗥𝗘𝗬𝗔 𝗠𝗢𝗟𝗟𝗢𝗬 Freya Molloy was the girl everyone knew-spunky, flirty, and a little bit reckless. Until one night changed everything. Once the life of every party, she leaves without warning - leaving behind unanswered questions and a trail of rumors regarding her sudden transfer to an all girl's private academy in the English countryside. After three years, Freya's back but coming back isn't as easy as picking up where she left off. Older, quieter, but still carrying the weight of everything she left behind, the return of Ballylaggin's prodigal daughter sparks questions she's not ready to answer-and feelings she thought she'd buried for good, especially when she runs into Gibsie, the boy she once loved. 𝕲𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗥𝗗 𝗚𝗜𝗕𝗦𝗢𝗡 Gerard "Gibsie" Gibson has always been the golden boy-easy smile, easy charm, and the one who never quite got over Freya. When she suddenly reappears, all the old feelings he tried to forget come rushing back. But Freya's return isn't just a blast from the past-it's a reminder of the night that tore everything apart. Freya's return comes with secrets, and Gibsie's not sure if he's ready to hear the truth about why she left-or if knowing might change everything between them. Still, one thing hasn't changed: when it comes to Freya Molloy, Gibsie's never been able to walk away. ────── a '𝗯𝗼𝘆𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻' fic. gerard gibson ✷ fem. original character © 𝙫𝙞𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙩-𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨, 2025
