Some people leave without ever really letting go. Two years after disappearing from Ballylaggin, Eleanor Biggs returns carrying more than anyone can see. She's louder now, sharper, quicker with a joke or a cutting remark, and she's become an expert at convincing everyone she's fine. After all, pretending to be normal is easier than admitting she's falling apart. Everyone believes the version of Eleanor she wants them to see. Everyone except Rory Kavanagh. Rory has spent his whole life trying to escape the weight of his family name, searching for a future that's his own instead of one chosen for him. To everyone else, he'll always be another Kavanagh. But Eleanor has never looked at him that way. She sees the quiet boy beneath the expectations, the one no one else seems to notice. He remembers the girl she used to be. She remembers the boy no one else ever saw. The problem is that love doesn't erase time, and it can't heal wounds that were never allowed to close. As old feelings begin to resurface, Rory finds himself fighting for someone determined to push him away, while Eleanor is convinced that loving her only means getting hurt. The closer he gets, the harder she tries to disappear behind the mask she's built for herself. She's trying not to drown. He's trying not to lose her again. In a town where everyone has already decided who they should be, Rory and Eleanor must decide whether the pieces they left unfinished are worth finding again-or whether some stories are meant to remain exactly that. Messy. Honest. Unfinished. Mae oc x Fem oc start: 07-23-26 end: Tbd

Some love stories begin with fireworks. Theirs begins with quiet moments. 𝑃𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑝𝑒 has always been the one standing just outside the spotlight-observant, dependable, and carrying more responsibility than anyone realizes. After years spent worrying about the people she loves, she's convinced that keeping her own feelings hidden is the safest choice. 𝐶𝑎𝑜𝑖𝑚ℎ𝑒 has mastered the art of pretending she's fine. Behind her sharp wit and effortless confidence is a girl desperate for control, haunted by battles she refuses to let anyone see. When an unexpected friendship slowly becomes something deeper, the two girls discover a kind of happiness neither of them believed was possible. Stolen glances turn into late-night conversations, shared laughter becomes quiet comfort, and secret moments begin to feel like home. But love isn't simple in a town where everyone knows everyone else. Because sometimes the greatest love stories aren't about finding the right person. They're about becoming the person brave enough to love them back. Fem OC x Fem OC Start: 07-11-26 End: Tbd

𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐄𝐋 𝐅𝐄𝐄𝐋𝐘 is chaos disguised as a boy. Always one bad, thoughtless decision away from trouble and never letting anyone see past the walls he'd built around himself. He's reckless, impulsive and the kind of lad people warn their daughters about. He's always assumed Rugby should be his thing - it's his twin brother's. But Daniel doesn't care about it like Patrick, doesn't let it define him. Instead, he plays when he wants to, shows up when he feels like it and disappears just as easily. He jokes like nothing matters, thinks like consequences don't exist and walks through life as if nothing can touch him. But it does. And he's beginning to realise that Eleanor Biggs isn't something he can laugh off, or shove to the back of his mind and the harder he tries the clearer it becomes. 𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐑 𝐁𝐈𝐆𝐆𝐒 is like sunshine and softness stitched into a person. Warm, bright and endlessly kind. The kind of girl you take one glance at and think you know everything, don't bother looking past the sweet smiles and easygoing personality because you assume that's all it is. She's the youngest in her family, spending her entire life wrapped in cotton-wool, fierce protection and gentle underestimation. She's allowed herself to stay safe and predictable for so long, too long maybe. But with Daniel Feely, nothing's safe and there's absolutely no predictability. And underneath her soft compliance, Eleanor starts to realise maybe safety isn't what she needs - maybe it is to be seen.

She was like looking into a mirror. Or reading a book I've always had but only skimmed through. 𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐍 was the oldest daughter in her family. The first try. The first mistake. She carried responsibility like it was stitched into her bones. Moving to Ireland was meant to be a new start-a quiet hope that distance from London might soften the edges of everything. But it hasn't. Of course it hasn't. It's just given her a new place to hold everything together, again. Emory is fraying, but she can't let it show. Her siblings need her steady. They need her unbreakable. And that's what she makes herself. 𝐓𝐀𝐃𝐇𝐆 𝐋𝐘𝐍𝐂𝐇 moves through the world like nothing can touch him. Easy confidence-sharp tongue. Untouchable on the Hurling pitch. He's the boy the teachers don't know what to do with, he's brilliant, but careless-Always needing something to challenge him, or else he's distracted. But underneath all that easy is something unsteady. His childhood was built on volatility. An angry father, a numb mother-and when the fire took them both, Tadhg didn't know what to do. How to live in the soft moments, the quiet-he wasn't even sure what that was. He carries the quiet, suffocating guilt of survival-the feeling that every breath he takes is stolen from his mother, who never got to keep hers. _________________ 𝐓𝐀𝐃𝐆𝐇 𝐋𝐘𝐍𝐂𝐇 𝐱 𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐍 (𝐎𝐂)

Before London, before the lies, and before she left without looking back, Rowena Biggs and Nina Feely were inseparable. Childhood best friends turned first loves, they were the kind of girls everyone thought would last forever - until Rowena shattered Nina's heart and disappeared from Ballylaggin for years. Now, at seventeen, Rowena's back like nothing ever happened. Same sharp tongue, same devastating smile, same ability to ruin Nina with a single look. But Rowena didn't come back alone. She came back with bruises she won't explain, secrets she keeps too close to her chest, and an obsessive ex who refuses to let her go. Desperate for a way to protect herself, she asks the last person she should ever ask for help: Nina. Fake dating Rowena Biggs was supposed to be simple. Convince everyone they're together, scare off the ex, and survive senior year without killing each other. Easy. Except Nina still remembers every promise Rowena broke. And Rowena still looks at her like she's the only girl in the world. Some loves never really die. They just wait for the right moment to destroy you all over again.
