October 10th, 1993 - New York City
Claire Hart moved to New York chasing freedom, only to find herself stuck behind a Citibank desk, the pages of her half-finished stories collecting dust. She's practical. Careful. Trying not to want more than coffee, a quiet booth, and the small hope that she's not too late to become who she was meant to be.
Then she meets Billy Joel-messy, magnetic, and caught between the life he's built and the life he still wants. What starts as a chance encounter becomes something neither of them can easily walk away from.
A slow-burn, grounded romance set in rain-soaked streets, backstage shadows, and late-night phone calls, Autumn Interlude is about wanting more, even when you're afraid to reach for it-and finding it, just for a moment, in the unexpected space between two people who weren't looking for each other, but might have needed each other all the same.

Beneath the Autumn Dream
In the heart of autumn, Claire Emerson finds herself enveloped in a season of quiet reflection. By day, she works as an archivist, piecing together stories from the past, but by night, Claire slips into vivid dreams that feel as real as the crisp autumn air. In her dreams, she meets a mysterious man named Ethan, whose presence is both haunting and comforting, filling a void she can't explain. Together, they wander through misty forests, abandoned lighthouses, and fog-shrouded bridges, forming a bond that transcends the barriers of reality. Ethan Grayson is a photographer and a self-proclaimed wanderer, always searching for something he's never quite found. When he begins dreaming of Claire, he's captivated by the unspoken connection they share, feeling as though he's finally come home. Each dream draws them closer, yet waking life keeps them apart, leaving them longing to turn these ethereal moments into something real. As autumn deepens, traces of their dream world begin appearing in reality-scenes from the mist, familiar melodies, and places they both recognize. Drawn by an invisible thread, Claire and Ethan embark on a journey to uncover whether their dream connection is merely a fantasy or a destined path toward love. With each new revelation, they face a choice: will they take a chance on an impossible bond or let the autumn winds scatter their dreams forever?Complete

Confusion that Overwhelmed Us
In a city soaked with rain and memory, two souls try to navigate the storm between who they were and who they've become.

But as life grew louder and hearts grew quieter, their paths split without warning, leaving only silence behind. Now, years later, a chance encounter cracks open the wounds they tried to bury. Old emotions resurface, not as nostalgia-but as confusion, regret, and a haunting question: What really tore them apart? Told through fragmented reflections and raw emotion, Confusion that Overwhelmed Us is a story of miscommunication, timing, and the aching truth that love sometimes slips through even the most desperate fingers.Complete

Fatesick- Embry Call X OC
Loretta Claire Dalton-Lettie-Claire to the few who get close enough to matter-came to Forks, Washington, to escape the stories that raised her. Back home in Hickory Grove, the old women always said some hungers were curses, that loving the wrong thing could hollow you out to the bone. At twenty-one, she's already seen enough to know they were right. She has no interest in the supernatural-no interest in anything that smells like fate. Teaching home ec and herbology is supposed to be safe. Ordinary. Until the night she meets Embry Call. One drink. One dance. One reckless moment that should have ended by sunrise. But fate has a cruel sense of humor-and some bonds don't care if you believe in them. Embry never wanted this either. He never asked to be tethered heart and soul to a woman who won't let him in, whose sharp tongue hides the same bone-deep longing that keeps him awake at night. But imprinting doesn't ask permission, and the pull between them grows harder to fight. She tells herself she can outrun it, that she can shut the door on destiny and never look back. But some threads don't break. Some stories refuse to end unfinished. In the dark of the pines, between old magic and new desire, Lettie-Claire will learn the hardest truth of all: What's meant for you will find you. And it will not let go.

He was making ends meet but dreamed of something greater. Something to help him find the happiness he once had.
