Sky O'Brian has walked through fire, but not without getting scarred. She wants nothing more than to start a new life, a safe life, to escape her traumatized past - but falling in love with a boy who has his own demons, will destroy any plans she had. As Sky spirals towards a new life, she will be forced to face her traumatic past - all the while navigating the struggles of being a teenager in love. This is an Eli/Hawk x OC fic. Contains a lot of heavy stuff (bullying, school violence, mentions of sexual trauma, drug use, etc), so a general trigger warning here. Also a lot of smut, so be warned. Vote and comment!

Continuation of the movie "A Biltmore Christmas." Ava Hayward and Claude Lancaster can't stand each other--Claude even tried to replace her with a different actress in "His Merry Wife!" but to no avail. After the sudden disappearance of Lucy Hardgrove, the filming must go on. Jack Houston is in a slump, and Ava and Claude are at odds more severely after Ava hit him with a couple snowballs, telling him she's getting the larger dressing room and top billing. She gets what she wants, much to Claude's dismay. It will be quite the feat to finish this film when the main couple hates one another, and the other main lead is heartbroken. What's more, that same main couple get into an argument following a kiss scene for the film. "You call that a kiss?" demands Ava. Well, Claude aways has to prove himself. What ensues is a steamy kiss and unwanted real feelings between the two main actors. Maybe Ava is just what Claude needs, and vice versa. Note: I highly recommend watching "A Biltmore Christmas" (it's so good!!) but if you choose not to, this will just be a cute "hate to love" story taking place in 1947.
