Showmance: a romance/relationship that is started during the production of a play or musical. Very common in, but not limited to, high school shows. Len (short for Lennon) and Eric meet under interesting circumstances. She has just been roped into being her friend's "Girl Friday" (AKA assistant stage manager) and he was somehow convinced by his twin, Sophie, to do the sound design for their high school's production of Beauty and the Beast. United by their inability to understand musicals, the two help each other navigate the politics of the tech crew, which cast members to avoid, and the rules of showmances. Although neither had ever heard of the word, they learn it's just part of the package when they find themselves in one. And just because the show is obviously going to be a failure, does their relationship have to be? *cover by @worriedly*

Part One: The Whispers On an ordinary day in The Hollows, a terrible accident claims the lives of Eloise Montgomery's husband and oldest daughter and leaves Eloise in a coma. While recovering, she experiences her first psychic vision. Struggling to understand her frightening new abilities, Eloise is torn between helping her grief-stricken younger daughter move on and the work she feels compelled to do now-heed the tortured whispers of lost women and girls calling for her.

Florida Forest Service duty officer Ray Lumley is in love with a white fringetree. Not an I-read-Walden-in-high-school love; a sweaty, sappy, I-want-to-rub-against-you-'til-I-get-splinters love. It's awkward. So, he's relieved to learn that he's really hot for Trivia, the dreadlocked, radical environmentalist nymph who lives inside the tree. Better yet, she wants to share an eternity of Arcadian delights with him. But first she has to kill the man she holds responsible for a spate of forest fires--Ray's boss, a mid-level bureaucrat (and soccer dad) who she insists is the King of the Woods. -- King of the Woods, or Trivial Pursuit retells the myth of rex Nemorensis as an urban fantasy. Updates every Tuesday.

Reece Bremer goes through life with a scowl and cold personality. Jessica Andrews goes through life with a glowing smile and positive outlook. Reece looks at life with dull, judgmental eyes that make him hate the world and the people living in it. Jessica, well... She looks at life through a camera. Literally. They're polar opposites, and that's what sparks Reece's immediate hate for Jessica the moment they meet. All he sees is a girl with the best life, put in the category of those who get everything handed to them on a silver platter. But who says Jessica's life is like that? Just like a photograph, there's more to the story than what you see. Stumbling across one of Jessica's hidden portfolio might reveal that her happiness isn't all that true. Behind that smile and each picture she takes, holds a thousand words of a very big secret - one that Reece is determined to find out. And who knows? It just might change everything between them. cover by dysanic || 2015 watty's winner for talk of the town ||

Romance | Werewolf Meet Carabel, she's just moved from England to America to live with her Dad, and with her mom on her honeymoon with her stepdad, she really has nothing to worry about. Not to mention, she has a twin sister too, so I guess that makes it that much more interesting. The only difference between them is the colour of their hair and yet her sister was always considered the 'prettier one'. But coming back to her childhood home she came back to two times per year when she was a kid, she needs to find out how to fit back in again. Many of the people she once knew aren't the same anymore, they've changed and grown up. Not liking to converse that much with anyone she's not close to, she sticks to reuniting with her old best friends. On her birthday, she finds out that who's her mate? Alex Parker, the bad boy. She's human and he's a werewolf. She's a good girl and he's a bad boy. But is that really so? Because you know, good girls are bad girls who haven't been caught, and there may be more to her family history than she already knows. -I hope you like this story, please leave comments, I'd love to know what you think- Luv, leila [UNEDITED] •_• so if there are any mistakes, please bear with me
