Standalone Sweet Romance:- Some misunderstandings last a lifetime. Others just need one more holiday to fix them. Sabrina Quinn has her plan for this holiday all worked out. Step one: Avoid Cole Sumpter. Step two: Definitely avoid Cole Sumpter. This plan flies out the window the moment she sees him, and her heart remembers the boy she spent so many of her happiest moments with. Cole-the boy with the sun-bleached hair, surfer smile, and the annoying ability to act like nothing in the world bothers him-hasn't joined their combined family holidays in 15 months. Which would be fine... if Sabrina didn't still remember exactly how their last holiday together ended-and how much it hurt. Now they're stuck together for one more holiday before their lives change forever. Sabrina is heading into her final year of high school, and Cole is about to start university. Between ridiculous arguments, awkward almost-moments, and a misunderstanding that refuses to die, Sabrina is starting to suspect something that gives her hope: Maybe Cole isn't as nonchalant as he pretends. And maybe their story is only just beginning.

ONC2025 Rafe Daring is not a hero known for his bravery. He is a farm boy known for being stubborn, cheeky, and doing things haphazardly, which always leads to chaos. When he flees town on his motorcycle, chased by the boy he'd turned into his nemesis, Rafe veers from safety to avoid his enemy. He ventures onto a strangled path through the forbidden forest, a vast stretch of access-restricted nature reserve bordering his family's farm. As with most of his decisions, this one also leads to disaster. Soon, Rafe finds himself injured and lost at the bottom of a steep slope, trying to find his way home. When he stumbles into a briar vine-covered wall, he decides that his only way home might be through what appears to be an archway clogged by vines. However, he is unprepared for what waits for him when he breaks through the thick, thorny briar vines. Finding himself in an increasingly dangerous and confusing situation, he realises that this time, he'd outdone himself in the art of making extraordinarily bad decisions. He has one question that stands out above all his other questions: "Who would be dumb enough to give an idiot like me superpowers?!" TW: Some chapters might have upsetting themes; reader discretion is advised. ONC2025 Prompt 1: You stumble upon a mysterious door made entirely of briars and thorns.

What do you do when the girl of your dreams lives next door, but she hates your guts and will never see you as anything other than her best friend's annoying brother? You make a brilliant plan; that's what you do! This is a story about becoming friends and falling in love one crazy moment at a time... and having loads of fun along the way. Friendly Dating - Kira is written from Kira's point of view and can be read before, during or after this one, but they do contain some spoilers for each other.

Kira has a system. It involves observation, data collection, and very clear rules, especially Rule #1: Do not let Ethan Fletcher get too close. Which shouldn't be a problem. Ethan is loud, chaotic, and deeply committed to being the most annoying person in her life. He climbs things he shouldn't climb, says things he shouldn't say, and does things he shouldn't do. Now, for reasons that are still unclear, he has a project he swears only Kira can help him with. There's a spreadsheet. There are rules. There are objectives. (There are also several suspicious attempts to add "kissing" to all of them.) Kira is determined to keep things under control. Friendly. Logical. Safe. Because Ethan is... well, Ethan. The guy next door. Her best friend's brother. The son her father never had. Practically family. Definitely not someone she wants to kiss. Right?
