51 parts Complete
Aurora, a 23 year old artist with synesthesia, has just moved to Brighton, England as an attempt to escape the problems from her home life in the US and chase the dreams she once had in college. She almost immediately discovers that her new apartment shares a wall with a noisy musician next door, a less than ideal situation. Aurora is faced with the question of what's worse, the sounds of his music through the walls all hours of the night, or her thoughts when it's finally silent? Wilbur, a 25 year old online content creator, is faced with two dilemmas. One, he has already seemed to be a nuisance to his new neighbor. And two, he fell head over heels for a random American girl in his local grocery store without as much as asking for her name. He feels haunted by the stranger, constantly finding pieces of her scattered through his day to day life. Wilbur has to find a way to smooth things out with his new neighbor and somehow track down the girl he met by chance. Note: This story is a parallel of their experiences- each chapter alternates following Aurora and Wilbur. Possible trigger warnings: This story contains themes of depression, anxiety, pills, and suicidal ideation. I find that putting trigger warnings above each chapter is kind of a spoiler. Please be mindful if these are things that could upset you <3

ONC 2025 Mudassir had it all-awards, friends, and a reputation that turned heads. But glory is fragile, and when life kicked him down, it didn't just bruise him. It shattered him. Now, he's trapped in the outskirts of Karachi, living with a violent father who drinks more than he breathes and a mind that's its own worst enemy. Once the life of the party, Mudassir is just another man drowning in rejection-job rejections, romantic failures, and his once-unshakable ego lie in ruins, a battered remnant of who he used to be. Until he sees her. Yusra Haroon. Selfishly stunning. Charmingly unapproachable. His therapist-to-be. An accomplishment he's looking to unravel. Suddenly, it isn't healing he's after. It's her undivided attention. Therapy sessions turn into a game, and to Mudassir, her kindness isn't just compassion. It's the reward of the price he's paid. It's proof that she wants him, even if she doesn't know it yet. But when she tries to set clear boundaries, he does what he's always known best. And that's not sounding good for the two of them.
