" I do not fear death, but I sooner fear this girl grinning at me from the door, as if she knows some secret of mine that I myself do not know." -Atticus Dombrovsky
Atticus Harper Dombrovsky is a seventeen-year-old, exceptionally cold-hearted, intelligent, and precocious boy, who suffers from a heart ailment that has left him anticipating death.
Joan Coreen Rivers is a seventeen-year-old, eccentric, and mysterious girl, who demands adventure and spontaneousness even in the mundane.
Together they navigate a rocky and defective friendship as they try to overcome their misunderstandings of one another. Yet, despite their differences, it is that very same polarity that brings them together despite their dark and dismal pasts. As Atticus swings between his various emotions regarding Joan, so too does Joan swing mysteriousely from mood to mood, making Atticus wonder what she's hiding from him...
Just when Atticus accepts the mystery of it, however, something devastating rocks their friendship, leaving Atticus with no way to turn but to his estranged father living a state away, and Joan's estranged mother, living as an abstract artist in Seattle. With this adventure before him, and the unlikely ghost of a heart-condition holding him down, Atticus sets out to find answers to his and Joan's story; to the pieces of the puzzle that he's missing.

When the Time is Right [ON-GOING]
They were almost something. Almost more than friends. Almost brave enough to choose each other. Years ago, Aurora and Maison stood at the very edge of something beautiful--then stepped away before it could even begin. Early childhood and education up until college. Turned mutuals in life, strangers to time. They moved forward with their lives, quietly, carrying the weight of an unfinished story. Now in their mid-twenties, life has shaped them into different people, but some feelings refuse to fade. When fate crosses their path once again, old emotions surface--and so do the questions they never dared to ask. What if love doesn't vanish? What if it simply awaits-quietly longing, and the moment that asks us to try again-this is what happens...When the time is right.
We Never Broke Up (A Second Chance Romance)
"So... what about us?" he asked, and I looked at him, a bit bewildered. "What?" I inquired. "You and me... what are we, Sera? You know how you affect me. You make me feel like I'm losing my mind, and I feel incomplete when you're not around. I yearn for your touch, your scent, and everything about you drives me wild," he admitted, his words close to my face. I let out a shaky breath as I felt a warmth spread through my body. "Thad, I think you're getting something wrong," I began, but he interrupted me. "No, you're the one refusing to admit that you're feeling the same way I am," he insisted, causing me to fall silent. He was right, I couldn't deny the feelings i had for him. They had always been there, but they had intensified with his return. ●●●●●●□□□●●□□□●●● In their final year of high school, Thaddeus and Sera epitomized the dream teen couple, envied by all.

Invisible String [t. s]
"Time. Curious time. Gave me no compasses, gave me no signs. Were there clues I didn't see?" A "thread of gold" that connects two soulmates and brings them together in life. It is commonly thought as an invisible cord around the fingers of those destined to meet one another in a certain situation as they are "their true love". Now, this is tricky. Two people may be each other's "true love" and still meet other loves before being together. Maybe, they don't even like each other at first, but still, their flames burn with the same rhythm. Their hearts beat harmonised and in the same symphony. This story is about love and heartbreak. And loss. And the way a bond grows stronger after it, how love is renewed with time and how it begins again when one allows it. When someone allows oneself to love again. "Time. Mystical time. Cutting me open, then healing me fine. Were there clues I didn't see?" ∘₊✧──────✧₊∘ Theseus Scamander x O. C.
