Da Capo: a music term for 'from the beginning'. Starting all over again.

At twenty-seven, Stephanie Ryan had to restart her life Da Capo. After being heartbroken by her ex-boyfriend Leon, Stephanie knew she needed a change. Music had always been her dearest passion in life, so on a whim she left her boring HR job in Boston to live in London with her friend and fellow violinist Lydia. Taking in the culture of classical music in the city would hopefully remind her who she truly was.

Kyle Lancaster had been Juilliard's shining star two years ago: a concert pianist graduating at the top of his class, he soon became a well-known name amongst the classical music scene, selling out performance halls nearly every night while on tour. Now he's back home in London teaching a masterclass at the Royal Academy... but so is his ex, the famous violin virtuoso Chloe Alistair. Being here with her will no doubt be awkward, considering how his fans (and his publicists) expect the two of them to get back together.

But one day before class, Kyle walked in on a red-haired woman practicing her violin all alone. He found her to be rude, tactless, and utterly infuriating...  and before he knew it, all the plans other people had for his life came crumbling down around him.

~vessel of brightness, come make me blind~ - Lydia Noelle was a violin virtuoso. A friend of Lucy's from a few tours in the past, though she neglected to tell her about the massive venue upgrade whenever she did enlist her help to fill in some of the violin parts for Boygenius's latest tour. The first time she had seen Julien Baker was Brooklyn Steel 2018, where she had half the amount of tattoos and and over double the level of nihilistic traits. The last time she had seen Julien Baker she had left her crying on New Years. Now Julien is fresh out of a three year relationship with love being the very last thing on her mind. She swore off of it whenever she hit a tipping point with her addiction, not to mention a shittily drawn hand of mental health issues as well. The only thing she needed to focus on was her recovery. Recovery and music. What if Lydia is both of those things wrapped into one though? ~ A hallmark-esque second chance romance told in a combo of flashbacks and present day.

Save Me From Myself by jessswho

Daniella was a sweet girl. She had lots of friends, the popular boyfriend, and the ideal high school life. Until one day she didn't. Ruined by everything she once loved. She started to loose faith in the word it's self. Thus Dani was born. ~~~~~~~~ "I know you, I know your type. Good girl, always getting what she wants." he smirked and taunted at me. "And the good girl always falls for the bad boy. Do try and not fall in love with me, kay' sweetheart?" "No worries there. You couldn't pay me to love you" I retorted. Becoming bored with this whole conversation. Stepping further into my space, practically pressing himself into my body. "Now why's that?" he asks. "Because love doesn't exist" I can see my answer throws him off guard slightly. The cocky smirk on his face lessening. "Who are you Dani Shey?" the question rhetorical, the desire behind his eyes; all to real.

Between Screens and Hearts by sumtym

Dean Rivero hides behind many masks: the quiet college student with trust issues, the mysterious TikTak voice actor known as 'Epitaph,' and the elusive writer 'Finale' who never finishes his stories. Living a life where his true self remains a secret, Dean seeks solace in the virtual world of ReAL, a streaming app where voices speak louder than appearances. In ReAL, no one knows his past, his insecurities, or the scars that haunt him. Then, there's Saffron Andrews. With her carefree laughter and boundless energy, she's everything Dean isn't-bright, confident, and full of life. Known as 'Seraphine' in ReAL, she stream hops her way through the app, meeting new people on her own terms. But when she stumbles into one of Epitaph's streams, drawn by his deep, mesmerizing voice, an unexpected connection sparks. In the digital world, Dean and Saffron's lives intertwine as their avatars forge a bond beyond the screens. What begins as playful banter slowly evolves into something deeper, something more real than they could have imagined. But when the virtual masks start to crack and the truth comes to light, can love survive in both worlds? As secrets unravel, trust is tested, and hearts are broken, the line between ReAL and reality blurs. Dean and Saffron must decide whether they can face each other's truths-or if the love they found in ReAL was nothing more than a beautiful illusion. (This is the original version of what I had submitted for class, which was the "Music Knows No Bounds". I do hope those who read this enjoy.. I guess. This story is just a vent space after all.)
