Dominic is a twenty-five year old musician, trying to hit it big. Music may be art and passion, but it is also business and politics. Dom finds it a frustrating mix for an uncertain future. 

Returning from a tour, Dom is drawn to nineteen year old college student Charlotte. She may be tiny in stature but becomes a huge presence in his mind. When they talk, he is further intrigued - she's young but weary, skeptical but open, a living and breathing contradiction. 

Charli considers herself a realist. She  likes to work hard and play hard. And while she may party, she doesn't smoke or do drugs. Her life is too busy to worry about dating or something like feelings making things more difficult. Right now the only thing she wants out of life is to connect but not commit. So when Dom shows up, she recognizes a complication when she sees one and tries to stay away.

Soon Dom and Charli begin a relationship that neither of them sees coming. Once they are in it are they willing to make the compromises required to keep the show on the road or are they both too hard at their cores to make the band play on?

You and Me (Plus Everyone In Between Us) by esosazuwawrites
76 parts Complete
17-almost-18-year-old Ezra Thompson is tired of two things. First, is constant chatter about Dilemma, an all-boy rock band, led by the supposedly-dreamy frontman Andre Robinson that somehow has a universal grip on every teenager in the world. Personally, Ezra doesn't see the appeal. Second, being in the shadow of her more smart, successful, and popular twin brother Emmet. Ezra couldn't ask for a better life. The thing is, Ezra, can sing. Like really sing. Only her parents who are occasionally proud of her, treat it as a juvenile hobby and she could never sing in front of people. So for now, her shampoo bottles get front-row access to her once-a-night concert in the shower. But when Ezra's younger sister, Maria, signs her up for a singing reality show called Finding Solstice, she is both angry and grateful. To her surprise, she passes the audition and is invited to Los Angeles for the show. Suddenly immersed in the cutthroat music industry, Ezra faces a whirlwind competition against fame-hungry singers, all fighting tooth and nail for the same prize. Amidst the manufactured forces of the industry, she must stand her ground and protect her passion for music. As if that wasn't enough, Ezra finds herself suddenly encountering a pretentious rockstar and is unexpectedly drawn to him. As the competition heats up, Ezra finds herself at the center of a brewing scandal that could end her career before it even starts. The pressure is on, and Ezra is torn between her passion for music and the fear of being dragged down. The stakes are high, and people are unforgiving, but Ezra knows that her music is worth fighting for. With her future on the line, she must navigate the twists and turns of the music industry and stay focused on what really matters: her music and her dreams.
