Growing up, Lena Calloway didn't have to try much. 

She grew up with everything she could ask for-a strong support system, loyal friends, and a community that always had her back. But when life pulls her away from the comfort of her small-town roots, she's faced with a world that doesn't play by the same rules. 

Years later, Lena returns to the town she once called home, hoping to reclaim the sense of peace and certainty she left behind. But as she reconnects with old faces and familiar places, she begins to wonder-will she find herself again, or has the person she was long ago been lost forever?

Across the hall by Loreleirorygilmoree
39 parts Ongoing Mature
In the heart of New York City, a close-knit group of friends has spent five years building a family of their own. Living just across the hall from one another, Lena, Emma, Sophie, Ethan, Ryan, and Jake share everything-from late-night talks to spontaneous adventures. Their bond is unshakeable, each one playing a unique role in the group. Lena, a passionate magazine writer, is the romantic dreamer of the group, believing in love but fiercely holding onto her independence. Ryan, a charming firefighter with a heart of gold, is the playful flirt who has always been there for Lena-though he's never thought of her as anything more than a close friend... until now. As they each navigate their personal lives, the lines between friendship and love begin to blur. But can they take that leap without losing what makes their bond so special? With plenty of laughs, moments of vulnerability, and a slow-burning romance, this story explores how love can grow quietly from the foundation of friendship. In the end, they'll all discover that sometimes, the best kind of love is the one that sneaks up on you when you least expect it.

Halfway Home by Ernestawriting
32 parts Ongoing Mature
Francesca Grey thought she'd finally escaped the perfect little town that never really knew her. Three years in Los Angeles taught her how to breathe again - how to be invisible, free, and entirely her own. But when an invitation arrives for her father's wedding - to a twenty-one-year-old woman she's never met - Frankie finds herself driving back toward the life she swore she'd left behind. What she doesn't expect is for the return to stir everything she thought she'd buried - memories of her mother, the weight of who she used to be, and the quiet ache of belonging she's never quite found. And then there's her. Someone unexpected. Someone who sees her in the way the town never could - not as who she was, but who she might still become. In a town where every face remembers her past, Frankie must decide whether home is a place she escaped... or a person she's just beginning to know.

The Cowboy in Aspen by HollandBaker

A teacher turned volunteer. A quiet cowboy and his little boy. One accidental introduction - and two lives that start to find each other across continents, time zones, and fate itself. Because sometimes, the right person is waiting in a place you never planned to go. ************************************* For Isla Cohen, this year is about saying yes. Yes to adventure. Yes to helping others. Yes to something more. Teaching can wait - but volunteering in Sri Lanka and backpacking across Europe with her best friend, Hazel, can't. Meanwhile, halfway across the world, Hazel is working a ski season in Aspen, Colorado - where she befriends three brothers: Asher, Reid, and Finn Calloway, visiting from their family ranch in Canada. Between snowstorms and coffee shifts, stories start to travel both ways. The brothers hear about Isla - bright, stubborn, and full of sunshine - and can't help but imagine how perfectly she'd suit their brother, Levi, a quiet cowboy and devoted single dad who hasn't smiled the same since everything changed. And Hazel agrees. Maybe fate just needs a little push. With one meddling best friend and three matchmaking brothers, two strangers who've only heard about each other begin to fall for a love story that feels written in the stars. Because sometimes, even across oceans, the heart knows where it belongs.

As power goes out, snow piles high, and the world outside freezes over, something between them begins to thaw. Kai has his own reasons for keeping people at a distance. But Lena's warmth-and her pain-start to mirror his own in unexpected ways. Over shared meals, silent stares, and moments by the fire, two broken souls start to find comfort in each other's presence.
