Emma O'Brien is dead.
She has been for five years, when she killed the last piece of herself that tied her to her family, and skipped town faster than a fan fiction writer writes their first smut scene of their favorite ship. Ever since then she has settled down in Seattle, with a fake name, and finds herself finally starting graduate school as Emma Nightshade, an aspiring playwright.
However, it seems that wherever she goes, her past comes to haunt her. Can Emma find out who is she outside of the characters she writes, and find a way to make her life livable again?

Her Favorite Trope
Leo recently got into the idea of romance, which used to be at the very bottom of her interest list next to working out, on the summer before her 3rd year in college. Ever since she was hooked, she'd read over 25 books that summer and even wrote essays and critiques on each tropes. Her friends were amused and couldn't wait for the school year to start. They even all agreed on the consensus that 3rd year would be the year Eleonore Sanchez gets laid-falls in love. But before they could drag her to blind dates, clubs, and get togethers, Leo falls for the most cliche and beginner trope everyone on the planet knows, love at first sight. And it gets even better. It just had to be her university's golden boy Harry, who also happens to be the guy she shares afew classes with. Now, everyone likes Harry. At some point, everyone falls in love with him, some even gets to date him but it all ends the same way... people get over him. Leo's friends won't let her settle for the golden boy and get her fantasies crushed, not when it's her first time actually considering love. Now let's see as Leo navigate through awkward blind dates, not so cute meet cutes, messy tropes, heart-fluttering coincidences, and bonding with a half- consumed tissue roll at 3am.

Well put her broken pieces together with his, and you have cracked the code. Love could put their broken pieces back together. ----------------------------------- A sky full of stars and he was still staring at me. "Why are you staring like that?" I asked him.

Fake It Till We Make It
In the bustling halls of Westbrook High, senior Emma Wright is known for her impeccable organizational skills, color-coded planners, and an ability to handle anything thrown her way-except the idea of showing up to prom alone. To avoid social disaster, Emma devises a foolproof plan: hire a date who can convincingly play the role of her perfect boyfriend. Enter Jack Cooper, the charming and carefree class clown, whose grades could use a little help. The deal is simple: Emma helps Jack with his studies, and in return, Jack pretends to be her loving boyfriend for the next few weeks. As they navigate the trials of their fake relationship-dodging nosy friends, skeptical teachers, and the ever-watchful eyes of social media-they start to see beyond each other's façades. Emma discovers that Jack's laid-back exterior hides a deep insecurity about his future, while Jack finds that Emma's obsession with perfection stems from her fear of failure. Their fake romance brings them closer together, leading to moments of unexpected vulnerability, witty banter, and laugh-out-loud situations.Complete
