Briar Viola Bennett, the sweet, quiet, gentle, soft, college student that has an enhancement only of innocence, though there is lots going on inside of this sweet girl's head that she won't let anyone see through. She does it all really, she pays her sick mother's hospital bills, works 5-9 at a coffee house on campus, paints and draws whatever details she saw in a rock, but it all forms together and makes sense to why the girl never gives her the time for herself and always putting herself last. As long as her mom dies happy, any person she talks to doesn't seem like they hate her, and the couple in her recent romance book she's reading doesn't turn tragic, Briar doesn't see the wrong in putting herself last. Until a few of those needs in her life take a turn and she's left with the only option of her enemy's presence. Nate Wesley Grey, the quarterback star for University of Michigan, also well known as the star in hookups, as well as parties, oh and let's not forget the campus whore who likes to leave his marks.

A tragedy that had occurred the past year during a game that no one can seem to forget, especially Nate Grey. Now coming back to another season of football it's all Nate thinks about. Nate struggles with grievance and loyalty through the season which ruins his career and picture for what the NFL had in mind for him. Nate tries to get himself together and throw all the new bad habits he has created for himself away, but he couldn't do it without the help of an enemy he's had in mind for a while. In which he becomes obsessed with through the process. The only question is, what is the two's secrets that are ruining their lives that they have to turn to each other for? You might know their's but the population at The University of Michigan mustn't for the both of them. And what will happen between the two?

Kira is 22, Small, soft-spoken, and shy, she looks and acts more like a gentle child than a college student. She hides behind oversized sweaters and curls into herself when the world feels too loud. The smallest things-loud noises, raised voices, sudden movements-send her into spirals of anxiety. Most people think it's just her personality, but those closest to her know the truth: Kira is an age regressor. The thing is... Kira doesn't know. She thinks it's just a quirk that she clutches her stuffed animal at night. Or that she whines in a babyish tone when she's overwhelmed. Or that she craves structure, soft words, and safety like oxygen. But her best friends Elena and Caroline understand her deeply, always giving her the gentleness and patience she needs. Living in the Gilbert house with Elena has been a safe haven- where Kira can just be, without judgment. Alaric has been there since the beginning. Once her teacher, now her protector and mentor, he's stepped easily into the role of her "dad." He doesn't say it, but the way he makes her tea when she's anxious, or brushes the hair from her face when she hides in her hoodie, says enough. Then there are the Salvatore brothers. Stefan is the comfort. Calm, patient, and kind, he's always treated Kira like a delicate porcelain doll-but never in a patronizing way. He's the only one who knows when she's slipped into regression, and he handles her with incredible care. But Damon... Kira can barely look at him. Damon is everything she's not: confident, loud, unpredictable. He teases her-never cruelly, but it still makes her tremble. When he smirks, she blushes. When he gets too close, she fidgets and hides behind Elena or Stefan. Damon doesn't push her away. He watches her. Closely. Almost obsessively. Not like Stefan but with something darker, something possessive beneath the surface. He's amused by her fear, intrigued by her innocence.

Stella is twenty, but you wouldn't know it by looking at her-or talking to her. Small, delicate, and wrapped in layers of shy hesitation, Her voice is quiet, her movements cautious, and her presence soft. She startles easily, flinches at loud noises, and clings to comfort items like plush toys. Though she's twenty, Stella lives with traits of age regression. It isn't an act or a choice-it's simply who she is. And everyone around her knows it. An only child, Stella has spent her life under the gentle care of her Uncle Richard, with whom she lives in Los Angeles. Richard just happens to be a director on the hit series Supernatural. On a whim-he brings Stella along to set. It's meant to be a quiet visit. But curiosity pulls her into a meeting room where she finds herself face-to-face with Jared Padalecki, Misha Collins, and Jensen Ackles. Everyone knows Stella. She's impossible to forget. Her gentle presence brings out the best in people. The cast and crew-known for their playful chaos-instinctively adjust around her. Voices soften. Movements slow. No one mocks her. No one raises their voice. It's as if the entire set knows she needs safety more than anything, and they give it freely. Except Jensen. Not that he's unkind. Quite the opposite. But Jensen Ackles is intense. Curious. Intrigued. And maybe just a little too direct. To Stella, he's overwhelming-loud, tall, strong. Too much. To Jensen, Stella is a puzzle: a grown woman with the soul of a frightened little bird. And so, slowly, patiently, and with surprising tenderness, Jensen makes it his mission to earn Stella's trust. ~~~~ Richard and Stella are my own characters! (^-^)

Nate Thorne had two rules : Win at football. Avoid distractions. He was a guaranteed future. A golden boy on a pre-written path. Until Amara Ferah. She argues with ducks, runs from him while shouting "No English!" in perfect English, and turns his carefully controlled life into noise. Bright, ridiculous, impossible noise. What starts as reluctant rescues turns into stolen nachos, shared beds meant only for sleeping, and a connection neither of them planned for. But when Nate chooses his future over her trust, Amara is given a way out of his world entirely. Now Nate has one choice left: follow the path written for him... or call an audible and fight for the only person who ever made him feel seen.

Aurora never meant to end up here-lost backstage at a Taylor Swift concert, clutching her stuffed rabbit like a lifeline. She's spent her whole life slipping through the cracks, making herself invisible. But then, in a moment of pure, accidental luck (or maybe fate), she crashes right into Taylor herself. Taylor is used to chaos. It comes with the job. But when she sees the quiet, wide-eyed girl standing alone in a place she clearly doesn't belong, something in her shifts. And when a single phone call tells her everything she needs to know-that no one is coming for Aurora-she makes a choice. Stay. Just for tonight. But one night turns into something more, and before Taylor knows it, she's breaking all the rules-of her career, of her carefully controlled life-for a girl who's never had someone fight for her before.
