I quickly drop my gaze, focusing on the perfectly written notes before me. The last thing I need is another complication, especially one with silver rings and a devil-may-care attitude.

Cass Alcott has always been the girl with a plan. Between balancing her dance scholarship, Aether studies, and avoiding the pressures of her overbearing family, she doesn't have time for distractions-especially ones that come in the form of messy, infuriating boys. So, when she's paired with Elliott Thornton for a literature project, she braces herself for disaster. Elliott is everything she's not-reckless, aloof, and never on time.
But as they dive into their assignment, unraveling the complexities of classic romances like Pride and Prejudice and Wuthering Heights, Elliott's rebellious nature begins to pull Cass into a world she's always avoided. From sneaking into empty theaters to stargazing from rooftops, Cass finds herself breaking all her carefully crafted rules. Beneath Elliott's mysterious, too-cool-for-everything exterior lies a deeper connection to the stories they're studying-and to Cass herself.
Caught between her need for control and Elliott's chaotic charm, Cass is forced to confront her own ideas about love, identity, and the thrill of the unknown. Will their project bring them closer together, or will the emotional intensity they uncover be too much to handle?
With a touch of witchy academia, heart-fluttering romance, and the magic of self-discovery, Ink & Ivory is a slow-burn that explores the fine line between order and chaos-and what happens when opposites collide.

Heart Lessons (WlW)
Sometimes the best lessons aren't learned in class, they're felt in the heart. Riley Hale's life runs on caffeine, chaos, and cupcake batter. At twenty-eight, she's mastered the art of single motherhood, sarcasm, and pretending she's totally fine that her love life has been replaced by late-night cleaning montages and her eight-year-old's existential questions. Then one morning, a frosty stranger in a perfect beige coat walks into The Sweet Spot bakery and straight into Riley's list of "people I will never impress." After one spilled coffee and a mortifying apology later, Riley is convinced she'll never see the woman again. Until the next day, when she meets her daughter's new fifth-grade teacher... Miss Emerson Miller. What follows is a year of accidental flirtations, school-event disasters, and late-night bake-offs that blur the line between enemies, friends, and something sweeter. Because sometimes love doesn't show up when you plan it - it spills all over your shoes and dares you to start over. A slow-burn, small-town romantic comedy about second chances, messy mornings, and discovering that the best lessons aren't always taught in classrooms.Complete
β½β§ Lost In Prythian β§βΎ {Rhysand x OC}
Estelle Beaumont just wanted a peaceful hike on her last day of vacation. Instead, one ill-starred moment of curiosity leaves her miraculously stranded in the fictional world of Prythian--a faerie realm full of ruthless court drama, rampant misogyny, and enough deadly magic to keep anyone up at night. Armed with foreknowledge that's only helpful when it isn't actively trying to get her killed, Estelle quickly discovers that living through the story of ACOTAR is far less fun and far more perilous when it's her own basic-ass, untrained mortal life on the line. Her plan is simple: keep her hands off of the plot and survive long enough to find a way back to the family and love she left behind. But the so-called "Mother" clearly has other plans for Estelle, forcing her to confront an unsettling truth--that her role here in Prythian might be far greater than that of a passive observer. As Estelle reluctantly abandons her original plan, uneasy alliances form, old wounds reopen, and fractured trust begins to mend. Love, loss, and scars of the past converge as Estelle slowly starts to see that the family she thought she'd lost might take a new shape, and that the life she left behind might be the only reason she's prepared for the fight ahead. But the cost of shaping Prythian's future--and her own--might be greater than she can bear. After all, it's a future that was never meant to be hers to begin with. And this is all that damned Cauldron's fault... ββ±βββββββ° β½β§βΎ β±βββββββ°β A/N: Warning: This fanfiction is purely self-indulgent, with long-winded introspection and a major, major slowburn romance. Read at your own risk lol. Also if you don't like self-insert/iseki like tropes were an original character who read the books ends up in the fictional world as the new main character, you might want to skip this. Somethings will stay very familiar, others will diverge completely, and I plan to add extra world building along the way.
