Valerie thought she had her future figured out: a whirlwind romance with Axel, a rockstar who made her feel alive in ways she never imagined. But when the glamour of his world fades, leaving her with nothing but heartbreak, she decides to leave the chaos behind and start fresh.

A month-long trip to Florida as a nanny seemed like the perfect escape-until Elliot, a charming photographer, and Ezra, a mysterious musician, enter the picture. Elliot's flirtation feels electric yet fleeting, pulling Valerie into a familiar cycle of thrills and doubts. Meanwhile, Ezra's quiet sincerity challenges everything she thought she wanted in a connection.

Caught between the echoes of her past and the possibilities of her future, Valerie must untangle her feelings, confront old wounds, and figure out what it means to choose herself first.

Almost, Always is a story about fleeting love, self-discovery, and finding the courage to let go of what no longer serves you-because sometimes, what we almost have isn't what we truly need.

42 parts Complete Mature
Summer 1986. Valerie Anderson is a broke, bored waitress stuck in a Sunset Strip diner and dreaming of escape. By twenty-two, she's fled her mother's faith and vowed never to return. Enter: Axl Rose. He's a god on a stage and a mess of contradictions off it--infuriating, electrifying, and raw in a way she just can't shake. At once, his rootlessness upends her routine. What blooms as infatuation swiftly spirals into obsessive devotion triggering the suspicion of Valerie's best friend, Jill. Her criticism rips open old wounds and tears Valerie between the only love she's ever known and imminent self-destruction; whatever differences exist between the two. Sex, drugs, and resurrected histories scar the rise of Guns N' Roses and tempt the fall of its troubled muse. Her past isn't dead, only angered. But does it wield a sharper knife than the life Axl leads? ⋅───⊱༺ ♰ ༻⊰───⋅ Book one of the Love Letters from a Californian Motel series. AXL ROSE X OC Started: January 22, 2025.

Halaena & Joe.

13 parts Ongoing

Joe never believed in fate-only in hard work, ambition, and the weight of expectations he never asked for. But when Halaena walks into his life, with her sharp wit and quiet strength, she stirs something in him he thought long buried. Halaena isn't looking for love, least of all with a man like Joe-charming yet distant, burdened by a world she doesn't belong to. But there's something about him, something unspoken, that keeps pulling her in. Between the hum of city lights and the ghosts of their pasts, they find themselves standing at the edge of something undeniable. But love is never simple. And when duty, distance, and the weight of unspoken truths threaten to pull them apart, they'll have to decide-is love enough to rewrite the story they thought they knew?
