For Thom, Colin, Ed, and Phil, senior year is supposed to be their last great adventure-a time to solidify their lifelong bond before the world pulls them in different directions. For Jonny, Colin's younger brother, it's a year of longing, secrets, and quiet hopes as he navigates the bittersweet ache of an unspoken crush on Thom, the one person who seems to truly see him.

But as the group struggles with the pressures of growing up-futures uncertain, friendships shifting, and time slipping away-long-hidden feelings and unspoken truths begin to surface. A weekend camping trip becomes the turning point, bringing their closeness to the brink and forcing each of them to confront what they mean to each other.

Set in the small town of Oxford, where life feels both too big and too small, The Quiet Year is a tender, introspective story about love, friendship, and the fragile beauty of the moments that define us. It's about learning to let go, hold on, and embrace the uncertain path of growing up.All Rights Reserved

Don't Fool Yourself by moonlightroof

Luna O'Brien, the sister of Ed O'Brien, an aspiring artist in band Radiohead, moves in with Ed and his bandmate Thom Yorke. She becomes extremely close with the band, being by their side during the start-up of their career while she begins her own. The release of their first album doesn't go so well, and the band finds it hard to be launched into stardom so fast, with their first single becoming a worldwide hit. Writing songs becomes more stressful for them, and it doesn't make it easier when Thom and Luna begin to despise each other, which is strange because he was the one she was closest with before... Will the band be able to survive this? (Although most of the band had graduated in 1991 in real life, for the sake of this story, their last year of college is the end of 1992. Everything else is based on the real events of Radiohead, and I tried making it as realistic as possible. The beginning of the story is also heavily inspired by the story written by @cindybermansgf.)

If Shadows Could Speak by TmonkYY

Eleanor "Ellie" Vance has one goal: survive high school without being noticed. It's a solid plan, until a freak accident involving a fallen power line and a puddle leaves her with a bizarre, unwanted ability: she can hear the innermost thoughts hidden in people's shadows. While a normal person's shadow might whisper about forgotten homework or a secret crush, the shadow of Liam Carter-Northwood High's popular, charismatic golden boy-is screaming. While Liam dazzles the crowd with a perfect smile, his shadow cries out with a crushing loneliness that only Ellie can hear. Drawn into his orbit against her will, Ellie must navigate a world of secrets she never wanted to know. Liam, feeling truly "seen" for the first time, finds himself inexplicably drawn to the quiet girl who seems to understand him better than his closest friends. This is a story about the masks we wear, the quiet desperation they hide, and the unexpected connection that can save us when we let someone see our true shadow.

In 'Where the Quiet Grows', Harry and Louis meet and eventually find each other in the still corners of everyday life-over shared laughter, cups of tea, quiet touches, and the green tangle of Harry's beloved (but weird) plants. What begins as a gentle, growing love story soon becomes something deeper: a life built side by side. As they move through the seasons of change-falling in love, adopting their son Eli, nurturing a family of friends, and building a home-they learn that real love is found not in grand gestures, but in the quiet, constant choosing of each other. With the ever-present comfort of Willow, their knowing cat, and the warmth of a chosen family, Harry and Louis grow roots deep and true. This is a story about love's patience, the beauty of growing something together, and how the quietest moments often speak the loudest.

Melody's Crush by AloraDillon

Aren't one sided crushes fun? NOT! 18 year old Melody Jenkins has spent the last 3 years of high school crushing on one guy, Jake Kensington, who sees her as no more than a sister from another mister and best friend. Not wanting to risk their friendship, Melody has kept her crush a secret and her emotions in check whenever she's around him... which is daily since they live on the same property. It's her senior year and she has made it through the past three years of high school with little social psychological trauma. That's excellent considering she goes to a school in Los Angeles where the majority of the bored students graduating will have executive paying jobs the moment they walk across stage. If all goes well, she will graduate as the valedictorian with multiple offers from colleges on the East Coast, far away from California. But when the health teacher announces a "special" project that requires students to be paired and live under the same roof for one week, Melody's world gets completely turned upside down. She is forced to spend time with someone totally opposite of her and frankly, she can't stand... or so she thought. One night of catching a glimpse of the softer side of Kyle Warner, the school's most popular and arrogant quarterback, has her heart pounding and her stomach doing flip-flops. But when Melody shows an ounce of affection toward Kyle, Jake discovers feelings of his own as he tries to protect his best friend from the guy he knows Kyle can be. As the project comes to an end, Melody goes to homecoming... will it be a night to remember, forget or both? Be advised, this contemporary Teen / Young Adult Romance story has some strong language and strong sexual connotation.

Note To Self (Harry Styles AU) by hydratedharries

Harry is an eighteen year old rich boy living in the rural mountainous forests of central Oregon with an anxiety problem and his entire future mapped out ahead of him. He lives to please, he lives to be the squeaky clean model child he was raised to be, though with constant pressure to be even better than his very best, he struggles to balance the heavy weight of life with his wavering mental health and self image. Harry is easily impressionable, and all he wants to chase after is a false idealism of perfection and a happily ever after. He finds that in the neighborhood pothead, and learns quickly that happiness doesn't always come in a picture perfect package, no matter how pretty strawberry blonde hair and green eyes can be. Happily ever after doesn't exist the same way they do in fairytales, they're a lot less magical and they're way more melodramatic and painful. Central Oregon isn't a kingdom far, far away. It's home, and life isn't perfect. Neither is she. Or, an AU where Harry's insecure and seeks validation from a pretty strawberry blonde who writes down her thoughts in blue ink. "You know, sitting at the lake I used to always pick at the clovers in the grass. They were always three leaf clovers, but I think if you pick enough they have just as much luck as the four leaf ones." Twitter// @hydratedharries Written: October 2015 - April 2019

A Song For You//[Thonny] by jfk1sdedlol1

After leaving Oxfordshire in 1988, six years prior, Thom decides to return to try and fix things with his old friends. TRIGGER WARNINGS: Suicide, self harm, addiction, drug use, fighting, blood, explicit sexual content, vulgar language, abuse, homophobia, panic attacks, relapsing, and anything else that might trigger people. A lot happens in this story, so brace yourself. ---- You guys must absolutely hate me at this point because I have three published stories I have abandoned, but that's not the worst part. I've also started four other stories... including this one... I'm waisting my time. But it think this one will be cute and angsty or whatever. I've wanted to write a Thonny story for a bit. Did you really think this story was my original idea? Well, you thought wrong. This story is inspired by a story I read on Ao3 a while back. I'm not completely basing this story off that, just a little bit of the plot bc it made me cry really hard and I loved it. I wish I could find it and give the person credit but no matter how hard I search I cannot find this shit. Oh well. If you read this story and you wrote something similar on Ao3, tell me so I can credit you!
