"𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄" (n.) a state of being pleasantly lost in one's day dream. °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ Alexios Vasilakis prefers silence over people. Transferring to Halstead College was never meant to be anything more than a clean escape; a place to play football, keep his head down, and stay far away from anything that might crack the control he's spent years building because control is the only thing he's ever had. Back in Greece, love came with conditions, and silence was safer than speaking, safer than feeling. Then there's Sienna Hartwell, loud in all the ways he isn't. Stubbornly kind and impossible to ignore. She slips through his carefully built walls without trying, without even realizing she's doing it and somehow, she becomes the one complication he can't seem to avoid or walk away from. °❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ Sienna Hartwell has always believed love is worth the risk. Even after years of holding onto feelings for someone who never saw her the same way, she refuses to let disappointment harden her heart. So when the quiet, guarded Greek transfer student joins Halstead's football team, she doesn't see distance, she sees someone worth understanding and when Alex, against his better judgment, agrees to help her win over the boy she's always wanted, it should've been simple. It wasn't. Because somewhere between stolen glances, quiet moments and everything left unsaid. The lines begin to blur.

─────── 𝐄𝐋𝐎𝐈𝐒𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐎𝐃𝐒, a fiercely independent romance novelist, known for her perfectionism and sharp wit. She thrives when it comes to planning and demanding an order, whether that be towards her intricate novel plots or her daily routine. Beneath her pristine exterior, she hides her worst fear: that her heart is too guarded to truly take a chance at love. 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆, the exact opposite of 𝐄𝐋𝐎𝐈𝐒𝐄. He's charming & spontaneous, and a writer who thrives based on unpredictability. He chooses to live life in the moment. While his exterior is care-free and confident, he hides his own vulnerabilities - losing himself in someone else's world, and being unable to live up to his family's successes. Once their publishers force 𝐄𝐋𝐎𝐈𝐒𝐄 and 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓 to become co-authors for an upcoming novel, sparks fly in ways that neither of them even considered. From heated arguments over plots, to writing techniques, their rivalry intensifies over time. Although, as deadlines inch closer and closer, secret notes begin to appear in the margins. Can two people so opposing to each other find love that works on and off the pages? Or will their differing worlds keep them apart forever? #2 - authors | 05.18.2026 #2 - emotionalslowburn | 04.15.2026 #5 - emotionaltension | 04.20.2026 started :: 03.25.2026 ended :: tbd.
