It's the first summer the Barton family opens their summer house to friends, and everything feels new in the best way. Freya and her dad, Mike arrive while her mom, Sarah stays in London for work. Freya steps into a whirlwind of Barton‑family warmth and group chaos, but it's Malachi who makes her pause. They've known each other for years, but something about this summer feels different. Between pool nights, sunlit mornings, and the soft shift from friendship into something deeper, this becomes the summer that starts it all.

Freya thought college was supposed to be a fresh start. New campus. New friends. New life. The only thing she didn't expect was being assigned the same dorm room as the one person she couldn't stand. Malachi. Her high school rival. The boy who challenged her in every class, stole her spotlight whenever he could, and somehow always knew exactly how to get under her skin. Now they're forced to share a tiny dorm room for an entire year. Between late-night arguments, competitive study sessions, and constant bickering, Freya is counting down the days until she can escape him. There's just one problem. The more time Malachi spends with Freya, the harder it becomes to ignore the way his heart races whenever she's around. And when other guys start showing interest in her, he realizes he's feeling something far more dangerous than rivalry. Jealousy. Meanwhile, Freya finds herself questioning whether she really hates him as much as she claims. With MK and Kylie determined to play matchmaker and Malia, Josh, and Dara desperately trying to stop them before things get awkward, college life quickly turns into chaos. Because sometimes the line between love and hate is thinner than anyone realizes. And sometimes your biggest rival becomes the one person you can't imagine living without.

Freya never expected the *Descendants: Worlds Collide Tour to change her life the way it did. For six months, she travels the world with a close group of castmates-Malachi, MK, Kylie, and Malia-living in a fast-paced blur of rehearsals, performances, and backstage chaos. From the outside, it looks like a perfect, inseparable group. From Freya's perspective, everything feels simple at the time. She doesn't notice the quiet shifts happening beneath the surface or the changes in relationships she was never made aware of. Over the course of the tour, she develops feelings for Malachi-unspoken, undefined, and never confessed. Fans begin shipping Fralachi, turning their on-stage chemistry into edits and theories, but Freya never confirms anything and assumes it is just fandom imagination. After DZWCT ends, everything breaks apart in silence. Malachi suddenly cuts off communication with Freya without explanation, leaving her hurt and confused. Around the same time, hidden relationship shifts happen within that same circle-Kylie and Malachi briefly date during the tour, and later Malachi and Malia begin something after the tour ends, while Kylie steps away from both. Freya, left without closure, channels everything into music. Her song Stardust becomes the first public glimpse of her emotional world. Malachi reposts it without comment, but Freya chooses not to repost his support, marking the beginning of her emotional distance from him. That leads into her Stars Align Tour, where her music becomes deeply personal and reflective of unresolved hurt, anger, and confusion tied to Malachi's silence and disappearance from her life. Now, Freya is heading to New Zealand for Zombies 5. The returning cast includes MK, Sway, Julian, and Malachi, alongside a new cast entering the franchise for the first time.

MALACHI BARTON AND FREYA SKYE

Fralachi one-shots cause I think I have genuinely read all of the ones available..

When Hollywood's favorite heartbreaker meets pop's golden girl, the red carpet catches fire. Freya Skye and Malachi Barton are both beautiful, talented, and completely allergic to love. She flirts for fun - he flirts for sport. But when they're cast as romantic leads in a steamy new Prime Video thriller, their chemistry becomes impossible to fake. Between interviews, late-night rehearsals, and stolen glances on set, the line between enemies, co-stars, and something dangerously real starts to blur. The press calls them Hollywood's next "it couple." Too bad they both swore they'd never fall for someone like themselves. --- ⚠️This book has nothing to do with real life, and if you don't like it, just don't read and keep your hateful comments to yourself. Thank you.

The Descendants/ZOMBIES Worlds Collide Tour ended on a good note- at least for a while. But then, all of the drama was revealed. Malachi and Kylie dated, and now he was dating Malia. Mk and Malachi weren't close anymore. Freya released an EP with songs everyone thought were about Malachi. And worse- the tour was coming back with a second leg. Fans didn't enjoy the idea, especially since the cast didn't include Freya, Kylie, Malia, and Joshua. Now, the time is set to March 30th. Zombies 5 filming was announced. And the Golden Boy and London Superstar will meet again. For better? Or for worse? AUTHORS NOTE: In this, I'm making Freya's birthday in June instead of October cause I don't want it to feel weird and like they have a big age gap in between, they're really only 2 years apart irl too but her birthday is a lotta months after his. (sorry for the long explanation!)

Malachi just wants some fun and Freya goes along. They have 4 rules, kiss whenever alone, no sleeping with anyone else, they can tell anyone, if feelings emerge you must tell the other. They are both 23 in this story. Spicy 🌶️

Freya and Malachi have always liked each other when they confessed there feelings for each other they both didnt realise they liked each other they've been dating roughly 3 years and is Malachi and Freya ready to take the challenge on what comes next? Read to find out
