Samantha Vida is an ordinary orphan girl. She lives in the governor's house and works as a maid. Everyday, she wakes up early, cooks breakfast, then she goes to wake up Elizabeth Swann, her mistress. After breakfast is served, she cleans Elizabeth's room before polishing the floor. After her chores are done, she is allowed to wander the town until ab hour before dinner, when she is required to return, cook the family dinner, then help Hannah prepare Elizabeth for bed. Routine, day in and day out, Samantha says, will keep her safe, protected. But what on earth could Samantha Vida- an orphan servant girl- fear? Unless, she is not actually Samantha Vida, that would mean she could fear a whole lot.

"Jack was like a Chinese finger trap most of the time, you had to carry on playing, delve a little further and accept your fate before you were able to pry yourself away." Jack/ OC reader pairing, following the course of the movies with mini-inserts and created scenes. It's kind of a slow burn, with smut in later chapters. *marked mature for these chapters. I do not own Pirates of the Caribbean, any of the characters or the places mentioned in this story.

When war-torn witch Harper Potter inherits a forgotten estate from her godfather's family-deep in the old magic of Mystic Falls-she sees it as a quiet place to rebuild, to mourn, and to raise her godson in peace. But Mystic Falls is a town steeped in its own secrets, and peace is never so simple. Harper didn't come alone for long. Hermione, Ginny, and a quietly grieving Andromeda are soon at her side, each woman bringing her own strength, scars, and unspoken ghosts. Together, they begin to reclaim the Blackthorne Estate, one room and one memory at a time. But magic hums under the surface of this town. And so does danger. The Originals, ancient vampires with bloody histories and buried grief, take notice of the new witches on the ridge-especially Niklaus Mikaelson, who is drawn to Harper's strength, her silence, and the storm she keeps locked behind her calm. As threats stir from all corners-rogue witches, vampire traditionalists, and watching eyes from back in England-Harper must decide how far she'll go to protect the family she's chosen. And whether she's willing to let someone in again... even if he's the most dangerous thing she's ever dared to want.

Max Verstappen is a World Champion. Isabelle Leclerc is invisible. She watched her family give up everything for Charles' career-Arthur's karting, their father's savings, even her childhood horse. She understood. She never asked for more. But Max does. He notices the things no one else does, listens when no one else will, and puts her first in ways she never imagined. With him, she isn't an afterthought-she's a choice. And for the first time, she realizes she doesn't have to be invisible.

Elizabeth Treshton-bestselling romantasy author, queen of fae heartbreak, and sworn devotee of a carefully structured routine-never expected her service dog to abandon protocol and diagnose a Formula 1 driver with something. But that's exactly what happens when Mara the wonder-dog ditches Lizzie's side to aggressively alert to none other than Lando Norris in the middle of a coffee shop.

She's the world's most talked-about model. He's Formula 1's golden boy. Nobody knows they've been in love for two years. Lily James is chaos in lingerie: a 21-year-old fashion icon with a past full of scandal, a bedroom full of Polaroids, and a private life no one can crack. To the public, she's wild, untouchable, maybe still seeing Jude Bellingham. To the grid, she's just another model they all fantasise about. What they don't know is... she lives in Monaco. In a penthouse. With Lando Norris. Nobody on the grid knows. Not Max. Not Charles. Not even Lewis- until now. What starts with a post-race conversation spirals into a slow-burn reveal of secret albums, chaotic group chats, iconic friendships, and a love so intimate it borders on scandal. It starts with Paris Fashion Week. And Lily James? She's not a secret for long.

Max Verstappen fell in love at the ripe old age of 12 and never looked back. Colette Leclerc really regrets posting that particular Taylor Swift Lyric to her private Instagram account, because it made George Russell go insane.
