Between one count and the next, there is always a moment that no one sees. Because not everything that matters can be counted. For Dia and Noah, that space would become something neither of them expected, something that slowly found its way into the lives they had carefully built. "What happens between the counts?" Noah looked at her. "Us."

what a mess

I've spent years playing drums in front of thousands of people without missing a beat. Then I met Evie Ruffilo. She's the younger sister of my bandmate, completely incapable of following simple instructions, and somehow still convinced she's going to learn how to play drums. Most days, teaching her feels less like music and more like damage control. It probably doesn't help that Noah and Jolly won't stop making comments, Nicholas is questioning every decision that led to this, and Evie has become impossible to ignore. Which is unfortunate. For several reasons.

(COMPLETED) Ryleigh "Rye" Torres, guitarist of Petal Riot, believes music should be earned, not built on hype and aesthetics. That's why she refuses to care about Bad Omens despite her bandmates' obsession. But when late-night conversations with someone unexpected begin turning personal, Rye starts questioning everything she thought she knew about music, fame, and herself.

(COMPLETED) Nina Selene Dizon never expected to become obsessed with someone she'd never met. A random TikTok. A song stuck on repeat. Late-night playlists. Messages she poured her thoughts into, day after day... She didn't expect him to notice. She didn't even want him to. Until the day she stopped sending them. And suddenly, the silence was louder than any message.

Jolly wasn't looking for anything - until his sister's friend crashes at their place. Nyx is temporary, untouchable, and completely unimpressed by him... which makes wanting her a problem.

A sequel to „Damage Control". Emma and Folio are trying to make it work-even when love lives in different cities, different careers, and different kinds of chaos. Love doesn't always break in loud ways-sometimes it fractures quietly, when two people try to hold together worlds that pull them in opposite directions.

She's trained to keep people alive. He's spent years turning chaos into sound. On tour, control is an illusion - and some fires can't be contained.

(COMPLETED) Yelena Andrade loves music. Any genre and any mood. When she's not listening to new songs, she's playing Love and Deepspace, fully aware that her loyalty belongs to Xavier (fictional men included). One day, out of pure boredom, she follows Bad Omens on Instagram... and their drummer, Nick Folio. Not because she's a die-hard fan, she just felt like it. What she didn't plan was replying to one of Nick's stories with a little too much confidence. Funny, sarcastic, and armed with effortless rizz, Yelena treats Nick like a normal guy instead of a rockstar and somehow, that's what hooks him. What starts as an unserious DM turns into late-night banter, unexpected flirting, and Nick realizing he might be in trouble. All because Yelena was bored.
