He was the one everyone noticed. The loud one. The charming one. The boy who filled every room without even trying. Josh had always been effortless like that - all easy smiles, quick wit, and the kind of presence people naturally gravitated towards. Fame suited him. Attention followed him. Nothing ever seemed to unsettle him. Until her. Matilda Cowell was never meant to be part of his world. Quiet where his life was loud, composed where everything around him felt fast, she wasn't impressed by the cameras, the noise, or the version of him everyone else seemed to adore. And that was exactly the problem. Because for the first time, Josh didn't quite know how to act. What begins as harmless proximity slowly turns into something far more dangerous - a quiet shift neither of them fully understands, and a tension that lingers long after the noise fades. Some connections aren't loud. Some are just impossible to ignore.

Nothing is actually wrong. Not enough to name it, at least. You come to England for a year you think you understand - new city, new routines, a life that's meant to stay temporary. Then you meet them. A band caught between rehearsals and real life. Loud laughter. Late nights. Too much time spent together. Josh is quieter than the rest, funnier when you least expect it, and impossible to read when it matters most. Around him, things never quite line up - the timing, the words, the way your heart reacts before your mind does. Days blur into music, jokes that turn into comfort, and moments that linger longer than they should. Danny fills the silence. The others make it feel like home. And somewhere between soundchecks, shared looks, and unfinished conversations, you realize something has shifted. This isn't a love story that arrives all at once. It's the slow realization that some connections don't follow the melody - they exist in the pauses, the mistakes, the parts that don't sound right until you hear them again. Sometimes the most important songs are the ones that start out of tune. Josh x y/n slow burn • humor • found family • music

Ava never meant to fall for someone in the spotlight. Josh was charming, confident and everything she shouldn't want - but couldn't walk away from. As fame rises and temptation follows, their slow-burn romance turns messy, painful and addictive. Back to Black is a story about love in the public eye, broken trust and the kind of love you always go back to.
