Pretend It's Real Rising singer Olivia Diaz and Hollywood's hottest actor Malachi Barton barely tolerate each other - their first meeting was anything but smooth. Now, forced into a fake relationship to boost their careers, they're thrown into a whirlwind of flashing cameras, cutthroat media, and endless red carpets. Jealousy, sarcasm, and simmering hate mask a growing attraction neither expected. As their carefully crafted lies start to crack, Olivia and Malachi must decide: keep pretending... or risk everything for a love that might just be real.

They said loving him would be loud. Chaotic. Impossible. They were wrong. Loving Malachi Daniel Barton was quiet- the kind that happened in empty hallways, late-night conversations, and moments the world never saw. Freya Skye Jones never asked for spotlights or headlines. She only wanted a life that felt like hers. But when a global star learns to breathe in the silence she brings, and a girl who avoids attention becomes the center of it, something has to give. Because when love is real, it doesn't need an audience. That's so true.

freya has it all. the looks. the voice. the world. but inside she hurting bad. she has break downs back stage, anxiety attacks, but no one to talk too. Malachi on the other hand, is an actor who likes to keep a really private life. he somehow sees that she's hurting and is going to try to help her. can he though?

When a brand-new cast is brought together for Zombies 4, no one expects the friendships to grow so fast-or so deep. Years later, with the franchise finally wrapping its seventh and final film, the group finds themselves more like family than coworkers. Freya and Malachi have been inseparable since day one, their bond the kind people envy-effortless, real, and maybe... something more. But with the spotlight always just a breath away, some feelings are easier to keep buried than spoken aloud. Meanwhile, Meg and Milo-veterans of the franchise and now executive producers-watch from behind the scenes, offering quiet support while keeping a few secrets of their own. Through on-set laughs, secret glances, long nights, and unexpected revelations, Quiet Sparks is a slow-burn story of friendship, found family, and the love that grows when no one's watching.

HEY GUYS! this is my first story so I hope it's good! anyways this is a fanfic on Malachi and Freya. please don't get the wrong idea I don't ship them irl. it's just easier to write. ⚠️ALSO IT MAY BE A LITTLE EXPLICIT SO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ THAT I ADVISE YOU TO NOT READ ⚠️ Kylie and Malachi are siblings. Kylie and Freya have been besties since forever. Sadly Freya's family had to move to England. Years later Freya comes back to LA but something has changed between her and Malachi.
