Shy introverted girl. Confident famous rapper. On night, one club, too many drinks. What could possibly go wrong? ...Or shall we say, right?

She writes love stories. But she wasn't expecting to live in one. After a near-death encounter with a rogue sedan (and a golden retriever named Waffles), burned-out writer Harper Lin wakes up in the arms of a man who seems suspiciously familiar. Like...fictionally familiar. As in: she's pretty sure she wrote him once. Convinced she's either losing her mind or manifesting her own love life through caffeine-fueled Google Docs, Harper sets out to test a theory: if her meet-cutes are coming to life, maybe fate's giving her a second chance at magic. Or maybe she's just concussed. Armed with stubborn hope, a laptop full of chaotic drafts, and her best friend who is so not emotionally equipped for this rollercoaster, Harper dives headfirst into a string of real-world romcom scenarios-from grocery store flirtations to coffee shop disasters-trying to figure out if the universe is meddling... or if she's finally cracked under the pressure of writing the perfect love story.

Inspired by the disney short "Paperman" (2012) After meeting an interesting stranger at the train station on a winter morning, William Solace was convinced he'd never see him again. However, that changed when he spotted said man through the open window of his university classroom across from Will's office's window. After failing to get the raven to spot him, he begins to look for another way to catch his attention. And so, Will starts throwing paper planes in his direction hoping they will reach his stranger. Little did he know this decision would not only have an impact on his love life, but also in the lives of several people who, like him, seemed to have fate against them. TLDR; Will starts throwing paper planes out of his window trying to reach the cute stranger from the opposite building. Unbeknownst to him, all those planes that didn't meet their purpose ended up helping other people who seemed to be down on their luck.

Random AU's for the Ineffable Husbands that either come out of my mind or got inspired by other AU's in the community (if that is the case, I'll specify from where and who the original AU came from). Chapter lengths may vary from very short to very long, I don't plan on giving myself a minimum or maximum word count for this. Even if one goes on for very long and probably should be broken up into several parts, I'll refrain from doing so, to keep it as a literal one-shot. So this should be fun. (Book says "Completed", but that will only be official when the line below says "Word Count" and not "Current Word Count". If it still has "Current", that means there's still more AU ideas I haven't gotten to, but will someday. If you like how I write the ineffable spouses, add this book to your library so you're notified when a new one-shot comes out!) Current Word Count: 310,200 (55 one-shots)
