If we had more time, would we have made it?

Eloise Carter doesn't believe in second chances. Once a rising stylist in London's fashion scene, she has spent the past three years sewing her life back together, stitch by painful, solitary stitch, after her world was violently derailed at nineteen. So when she's offered a position on Yungblud's massive 2026 IDOLS World Tour, it feels less like a dream and more like a dangerous dare: survive the suffocating noise, keep her emotional walls up, and let absolutely no one in. Dominic Harrison - Yungblud to the world - lives for the beautiful chaos. Stages, blazing lights, screaming fans, and the blur of cities that never stop moving. But behind the glitter, the adrenaline, and the loud rockstar grin, he is searching for something real. Something that feels like home. When Eloise joins the tour as a quiet, guarded assistant stylist, sparks don't fly - their worlds violently collide. She thinks he is reckless, exhausting, and far too loud. He calls her London, drives her mad, and looks at her with a piercing curiosity she can't seem to escape. But between cramped overnight travels, empty dressing rooms, and the profound loneliness of life on the road, their boundaries begin to bleed together. Through whispered midnight texts and raw, late-night confessions, Dom slowly and patiently learns how to approach her silence without making her run. Somewhere between hectic clothing fittings and thunderous soundchecks, Eloise starts to feel again - something fierce, something terrifying, something like love. But falling for a rockstar means risking the very safety she nearly died to build. And for a girl who has already lost everything once, letting him in might me the hardest set she will ever have to play.

He lives in the spotlight. She was never supposed to be seen. Millie joined the tour for one reason only: to disappear. Somewhere between flight cases, guitar strings and cities that blurred together outside a tour bus window, staying invisible felt easier than dealing with the life she'd left behind in London. Then Dominic Harrison noticed her. Loud where she was quiet. Chaotic where she was controlled. The kind of person who somehow knew every crew member's name by the end of the first week. Millie wanted to be left alone. Dom had never been very good at leaving people alone. As the tour crosses Europe and America, a friendship built backstage begins to blur into something neither of them expected. But some ghosts don't stay in the past... and sooner or later, Millie will have to face the one person she hoped she'd never see again. A slow-burn YUNGBLUD fanfiction about music, healing, found family, and learning that surviving isn't the same as living.
