Jack Harper had gotten used to the shitty hand that life had dealt him. Suffering from a life-threatening genetic disorder and the stresses that it has put on his family, he's come to terms with the odds of him living a happy life are slim to none. To cope, he buries himself in his art, slowly waiting for the day he finally succumbs to his illness and lightens the burden he's put on everyone he loves. 
Sophia Prescott has never felt that her life was her own. After years of doctor visits and countless treatments, she feels like the past 20 years of her life were wasted in a hospital, her only escape being her cello. She is constantly told by those around her how precious her life is and how careful she should be, but when Sophie looks at her odds, she yearns to be free and reckless, to experience the world, and more than anything, to live. 
When Jack and Sophie first meet, they ignite a spark in each other. Alone, the two feel trapped and hopeless, but together, they show each other what love is, and how it makes life worth living. But how will they survive when the one thing that could kill them is each other?

The Space Between Us by lmaosheri
7 parts Ongoing
Liam Everett is the star of his college art program-charismatic, talented, and admired by everyone around him. But behind the praise and accolades, Liam is lost. His once boundless creativity has withered, leaving him staring at blank canvases and suffocating under the weight of expectations. The boy who could paint the world in vibrant hues now sees only grey. Clara Haywood arrives in the city wide-eyed and hopeful, her heart set on making her dreams of becoming a professional artist come true. Leaving behind her quiet village, she's determined to make her family proud, even if the towering buildings and bustling streets of the city overwhelm her at every turn. She's ready to prove herself-but first, she has to find her place in a world that moves much faster than she ever imagined. When their worlds collide-quite literally-in a twist of fate, neither is prepared for the impact. Liam, hardened by his struggles, is drawn to Clara's passion and untainted view of art. Her fresh perspective breathes life into the creative fire he thought had burned out forever. And Clara, in awe of Liam's talent, finds herself both inspired by and inexplicably connected to him. But as their connection grows deeper, so does the space between them. Liam battles with the fear that he's using Clara as a muse, and Clara is torn between following her own path and falling for someone who might not need her as much as he thinks. In a city where everything moves fast and expectations loom large, they must both decide: Will they close the distance between them, or let the space grow wider than they can ever bridge?

Until fate steps in and a chance encounter changes everything. Meeting Olivia again so unexpectedly, at his best friend's wedding, stirs up memories he had long ago put away.

Everything she once cherished slipped away in the blink of an eye. After a mugging gone wrong, Hannah is left with brain damage. Years later, she's still trying to come to terms with the fact that her old life is one she'll never get back. Not her ability to write out a sentence or read a good book. Not the strength she once had to run a marathon or her ability to speak without stumbling over the words. The woman she was is gone forever and Hannah is forced to live with constant reminders surrounding her day to day life. Desperate for change, Hannah takes her former best friend from high school up on an offer to move in with her across the country and start a new life. It's the second scariest thing she's ever gone through, but Hannah knows the only chance of living her life is to give up trying to fix the old one that she'll never truly be able to mend. When she arrives, however, Hannah immediately realizes she's made a terrible mistake. This part of the city doesn't fit someone like her and she's ready to turn around before her bags are even out of the car. Until she meets Meggie's boss. David is southern, muscular and, according to Meggie, a grade A prick. But the brooding bar owner seems to have a soft spot for Hannah and is determined to show her that the choice she made to move here wasn't the wrong one and will do whatever it takes to get her to stay. Her second chance at life is becoming more than she imagined and as Hannah gets to know David, she begins to wonder if that second chance at life comes with a second chance at love.
