Tatum Preston (26) has been to hell and back. Now living in the city of Los Angeles in 2021 with her best friend Francesca (26), everything she's ever worked for hanging on by a thread and to no fault of her own. Dancers have a shelf life you see - at least that's what Hollywood beats into you. Her manager, part of the company Andromeda, has been stealing money from their clients. A lawsuit is in place and Tatum is still stuck in a contract.
No new tours can be booked.
No new music videos.
No new work of any kind - at least not yet.
Tatum is ready to leave LA and go back to New York - to the city she loves and holds some of the best memories before losing her mother - before she discovered her ex-boyfriend, Josh Reeves from the band Colorless was cheating on her.
She'd sworn off musicians since then. She'd practically sworn off men all together until one night when Francesca drags her to an album release party for one of her empoloyer's, MDDN, clients.
And there he was.
The one and only Awsten Knight (29).
She'd remembered the first time she saw him in the offices after she brought Francesca lunch while Fran was an intern. It had been a bad day for Tatum. One full of grieving the recent loss of her mother and the person who she thought was the love of her life.
Now on brisk night in late February, Tatum and Awsten were brought back together by an invisible string.
If Tatum Preston thought her world was already upside down - she was sadly mistaken.

slipped the curse. （ a. knight ）
❝i love you so rough it burns my bones.❞ Life is good. Awsten and Lia found their way back to each other. Waterparks is on the cusp of releasing what is proving to be their biggest release to date, on a much larger, more exciting record label. Things are almost too good. History repeats itself, as it often does. It is a surprise and a shock, however not completely unwelcome. Both Awsten and Lia are extremely gun shy after the loss of their first son, so being pregnant again only seems to fan the flames of their shared anxiety and the ghosts from the past trickle into their safe, secluded little bubble, threatening to destroy the life that they had started building back up together. They will have to work together, something they did not do last time, in order to keep their relationship steady and not repeat their past mistakes. Because if they break this time, there will be no coming back. Sequel to RAINY DAYS IN LA. [COMPLETE]Complete

The Quiet That Burns
He was her first everything. She was the only thing he ever wanted to keep. Four years ago at a high school party, Lilly St. James asked Luke Richards to take her virginity. No one ever found out. They never spoke of it again. Now they're both at Trentwood University. She's a rising ballet star with a killer body, flirtatious charm, and a reputation for keeping things casual. He's the stoic, unshakable goalie with an NHL contract to protect and desires he can't risk sharing with anyone. Except Lilly. Because she's the only one who knows what he really wants. And he's the only one who knows how dark it got in her head. They don't hide anything from each other. That's always been their problem. So when she asks him to help her explore the fantasies no one else has ever made her feel safe enough to admit, he says no. Until one reckless night, he doesn't. What starts as a private, no-strings arrangement turns into something messy, addictive, and dangerously intimate. She's supposed to be just a list. He's supposed to stay detached. But the more control she gives him behind closed doors, the more he unravels outside of them. Because the truth is-he never forgot the sounds she made that night. And now that he's had a taste, letting her go again might destroy him. But the real threat isn't what they do together in the dark. It's what happens when the whole world finds out. Secrets they can live with. Shame is another story. Especially when it goes viral.
lost boy // awsten knight au
in which a 22 year old awsten knight from the band waterparks falls for 17 year old maisie williams after seeing her at a local show. they both think that they know how the other works. they don't. "without you I'm a lost boy." WAS NOT AWARE OF THE ACTRESS WITH THE SAME NAME, THIS STORY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HER. UNEDITED* update: so, this is super cringey but hey, must be good if it's the number 1 awsten fic ;) also it was started and completed in 2017 so there's that. note that all of the waterparks boys are 3 years younger in this story although it is in present tense. also note the au, meaning there's some other differences but not much, it's mostly going along with the age, but this is also a work of fiction (sadly), so I mean. intentional lowercase, frequent updates, and chapter get better (and longer) as the book progresses.Complete
