SPRUNG /sprəNG/ ".... utterly infatuated or obsessed with someone or something, often to the point of being completely smitten and unable to stop thinking about the object of their affection...." Love Island USA ✩ Olandria Carthen

𝐉𝐚𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥 independent, sharp, and unapologetically herself. Landing a job at one of Boston's most elite investment firms is everything she's worked for and she refuses to let anyone stand in her way. Not even her infuriatingly boss, Dante Romano. 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐨 he can't stand her, at least, that's what he tells himself. She's bold where she shouldn't be, challenges him, and has a way of getting under the skin that no one else ever has. But the more he tries to keep her at a distance, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between them. They both find themselves on the verge of losing everything when late nights turn into stolen glances, sharp words into lingering touches. Those lines blur and reason fades after a single, unforgettable night leads to an unexpected consequence.

In 1915 Alabama, Olandria wants more than the Delta can offer her. She wants a college education, a life beyond river mud. When a presence only known to the locals as the "Shadow Man"answers her problems, he promises to make her desires come true. In return, he wants something of 'equal value' in return, yet he refuses to tell olandria until 'the time comes'. Her wish is granted. Olandria earns her place at a northern college on a full tuition. She quickly proves herself as she is number one in her class. However, as the seasons change, the feeling in her stomach creeps in.She sees things nobody else can see. Shadows dance wear they shouldn't. Her reflection doesn't always move when she does. And in her sleep, she sees premonitions of a faceless figure in a time period that is foreign to her. When the Shadow Man finally returns, Olandria learns the truth, the debt of her wish is her future itself. Every step she takes toward the life she always wanted is the one he intends to claim for himself. Now, Olandria must find a way to outwit whoever- whatever she invited in or lose herself forever and unfortunately be claimed by the darkness.

𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇- He told her one thing "you ain't see shit if you wanna keep that pretty face connected to your body." She was never supposed to cross paths with Giomani "Gio" Blackwood, suit-wearing, gun-toting underboss of New York's most feared family. But one wrong night put her in his world, and Gio don't believe in coincidences. Now she's tied to the man the streets call a monster. And the craziest part? The more she learns about him, the harder it gets to hate him. Cold. Calculated. Fine as hell. Gio runs everything - and when his father steps down, he's coming for the throne. But love and loyalty don't mix in the mafia. And in Gio's world, you either with him... or you against him. Ain't no in-between.

Nic & O had just gotten off the high that was season 7 love island USA. Everything seemed to be taking off, they had amazing friends, their careers were skyrocketing, but above all that, they had each other. A few years later, they welcome a set of twin baby girls and life seemed to hit an all time high- but every peak has a valley, and they part ways, each taking one twin. 10 years later, living on opposite ends of the world, Stevie and Shea meet at a summer camp and learn a secret that will forever change the course of their lives. They decide to brave a mission of no return: get their parents back together. This is, for any and all reasons, a #joke!! The parent trap is one of my favorite movies of all time, and I wondered what a nicolandria equivalent would look like! Obviously these characters and scenarios are all made up and are in no way true y'all so don't take everything literally!! I also am aware of recent developments as to other *ahem* characters in this story, but for my sake, the stories sake, and all of yours, lets pretend that never happened and all our characters are a tight knit group w no drama (ofc other than the one in the story). Without further ado, I hope you enjoy!! *also published on ao3*
