    Katie Morland doesn't just believe ghosts exist - she's absolutely positive they're real. She hasn't read thousands of ghost stories or watched hundreds of episodes of Ghost Hunters and Ghost Adventures for them to be fake. She just has to PROVE it. When she meets the Tilney siblings and finds herself with the opportunity to set up her ghost hunting gig in a maybe-probably-possibly-definitely real life haunted house, Northanger Hall, she won't let anything stand in her way. Not love. Not family. And not even a possible murder. A modern retelling of Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey with ghosts, a Twitch channel, and a haunted house in New England. While we like to keep things light and relatively family friendly over here, this story is somewhat darker than First Impressions. Content Warnings for this story include: - Transphobia - Gaslighting - Emotional Abuse - Homophobia (moderate/implied) - Antisemitism and Antisemitic Tropes - Discussions of Body Dysmorphia and Gender Dysphoria - Discussions previous Parent Death - Discussions of a Terminal Illness

The only thing she loved most in the world was her garden of flowers. But her normal boring life turns upside down when the new exchange student comes in. He, in Persephone's eyes, is the epitome of danger with his eyes like fire and his smile that speaks of trouble. Will Persephone stick with her plan of leaving this place behind when she graduates or will he change her life upside down just it time to see everything in a new light?

    I gave you the voice, Eliza. But you're the one who found something worth saying." In the neon-lit haze of a 24-hour Starbucks, Eliza Doolittle is just a girl with a rough accent and a mountain of debt. She's used to being invisible, a "service-machine" for the elite who never look her in the eye. Henry Higgins is the man who looks. A world-class image consultant with a clinical heart, Henry makes a dangerous bet with his elitist rivals: he can take the "girl from the docks" and turn her into the star of the city's most prestigious Winter Gala. What starts as a high-stakes social experiment quickly turns into something neither of them prepared for. In the quiet, late-night hours of training, they discover a connection that defies class and logic. But a relationship built on a wager is a house of cards. When the truth behind the bet shatters their world, Eliza disappears, taking the "perfect voice" Henry gave her and leaving him in a silence he can't escape. Seven years later, a chance encounter in a quiet suburban coffee shop brings them face-to-face once more. Eliza is no longer a project; she's a mother and a business owner who has survived tragedy and loss. Henry is no longer the arrogant teacher; he's a man seeking the one thing he couldn't coach: forgiveness. In this modern retelling of Pygmalion, two broken hearts must decide if their original recipe was a mistake-or if they finally have the right ingredients for a second chance.
