Fire & Tears (Jordan Knight/NKOTB Fanfic)

Samantha Dinsmore never wanted to move to Boston. She had plans in Chicago. Simple, easy, fool-proof plans to start a simple, easy, fool-proof life. She wasn't a demanding girl. She didn't have any big, lofty dreams. All she wanted was to buy her mother a house and marry the boy from next door who'd stolen her heart when she was eight years old. That's all she wanted, but now it's all gone. In the blink of an eye, her whole world has flipped upside down and she has no clue what comes next. She has no plans.

Jordan Knight never thought he'd leave Boston, but he hoped he would. Every time he read a book or watched a movie about some far off place, the imagination gears turned in his head and conjured vivid visions of all the places he would go and things he would see if he just got the chance. And he believed he would. He didn't know when or how, but he knew it would happen, somehow, some way, someday. Even when everyone else called it a pipe dream, he still believed. He had plans, major plans that were bigger than words could even describe.

Following an unexpected tragedy and chance encounter, these two polar opposites soon find themselves embarking on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will forever change their ideas about plans, hopes, and dreams.
