**All Too Caged** *inspired by the emotional storytelling of Taylor Swift* Nayvee Monroe grew up in a house where nothing was truly hers - not her voice, not her space, not even her thoughts. Her parents controlled everything: what she wore, how she spoke, when she was allowed to smile. Anger came without warning, always followed by silence. By age ten, she flinched at raised voices. By twelve, she stopped speaking up. At fifteen, she ran - heart pounding, hands shaking - to the only person who ever made her feel safe: **Kyle Jackson**, her best friend since first grade. Kyle didn't just believe her. He stood up for her. And so did his parents. The Jacksons took her in, no questions asked. They gave her her own room, her first real birthday cake, and a kind of love that didn't hurt. Even now, at 25, Nayvee still startles easily. Loud voices make her shut down. But she's safe. She's healing. She's rebuilding. Kyle, now 23 and a Banana Ball player, has always been her rock. More brother than friend. More family than blood. But when he brings home a new teammate - **Jackson Olson**, 27, charismatic, loud, and too carefree for his own good - Nayvee feels the walls she's built begin to shift. At first, he's just a voice in the hall. A laugh too loud. A stranger with a bat and a grin that sees too much. But slowly, with quiet kindness and unexpected gentleness, he begins to see her - all of her. Nayvee's not looking for love. She's just trying to breathe. But some people don't knock before they open doors you thought were locked for good. idk when i drop new parts🤷♀️

Her family was from a small town in Texas, where her mother owned a small, homegrown bakery, and her father taught World History at the local school district, coaching football on the side. Quinn was the eldest sister out of two, a straight-A student, and a cross country star. And then during one fateful tornado season, Quinn lost everything. The move to Boston wasn't sudden, but it was devastating. The place was cold, unfamiliar, and didn't bring Quinn an ounce of comfort...then she met a sweet, quietly confident boy named Conrad Fisher. And suddenly, her world didn't seem so grey.

Sebastian Sallow and Gracelyn Marwood have always been partners in crime, best friends, and the source of each other's greatest mischief. But as they enter their final year at Hogwarts, something shifts. Teasing glances linger too long, friendly duels grow heated, and unspoken words threaten to break the delicate balance they've built. Sebastian is usually confident and a flirt, yet utterly infuriating when it comes to romance. Gracelyn is self-confident, radiant, and yet only one who can make him falter in his steps. When jealousy sparks, secret feelings unravel, and choices lead them down unexpected paths, they're forced to confront the undeniable-this has never been just friendship. From the tension-filled halls of Hogwarts to stolen moments in the Undercroft, from whispered promises by the lake to the life waiting beyond the castle walls, their love is a slow-burning, all-consuming fire. But Sebastian's past haunts him, and his greatest fear isn't the darkness he once embraced-it's his own mind telling him he doesn't deserve her. Will he finally let himself have the future he never thought possible? Or will his fear of falling cost him the one person who's always been willing to catch him? Friends to something more. The best kind of madness. *BONUS AU CHAPTERS AT THE END*

"We can't keep tipping the scale of friendship, Sebastian." I say, my voice trembling as I meet his gaze. His expression falters, vulnerability flickering across his face. "Then tell me, Y/N-what do we call this?" ────⋆⋅☆⋅⋆── Returning to Hogwarts for your seventh year, you're still celebrated for your heroic deeds during fifth year. But fame comes with its challenges, and nothing complicates life more than unspoken emotions. Over the summer, you, Ominis, and Sebastian made a solemn pact: no matter what, nothing would break your trio apart. One condition, however, left you uneasy-Ominis forbade any romance between you and Sebastian, convinced it would only bring chaos. You agreed, believing your feelings for Sebastian were purely platonic. But as the new school year begins, the line between friendship and something deeper began to blur. Leander Prewett, persistent as ever, refuses to take no for an answer when it comes to his infatuation with you that started in your fifth year. Desperate for a solution, you turn to Sebastian for help, thinking it might finally end Leander's advances. Little did you know, this small request would set the stage for a far more tangled web of emotions and forbidden feelings.
