After her mother's death, Solai left Brooklyn, thinking that distance would help her heal. But now, she's back-and nothing feels the same. Her dad's jazz club, The Blue Note, is still alive with energy, but something's missing. Solai's always been the quiet observer-her dad, a celebrated poet, had always been in the spotlight. She's never followed in his footsteps, even though she's been writing under an alias-*LyricalSol*-on PoemBodies, a small account with just three followers and a few likes here and there.
She never expected one of those followers to be Dom, the poet who performs every Saturday at The Blue Note. His words have always hit home, but he's never known her as the girl behind the poems.
Now, back in Brooklyn, Solai is caught between the past she's tried to leave behind and the future she's afraid to embrace. Will Dom be the one to finally pull her out of the shadows, or will the secrets she's been hiding keep her from everything she's meant to find?

Don't you dare - Yungblud Fanfic
She only wanted one night at the barricade. One night to scream the songs that saved her. One night to feel close to the rockstar she's always felt an unexplainable connection to. But when a car pulls up outside the venue after the show, blocking the fans, Maddox's stubborn mouth turns her into a target-and a single gunshot changes everything. Bleeding on the pavement, she wakes up to find the last person she expected waiting at her side: him. Dominic Harrison is supposed to be on tour, untouchable, larger than life. He has a career, managers, fans-an entire world depending on him. He isn't supposed to care about a stranger. Except Maddox isn't a stranger. She's familiar. Too familiar. The girl from the barrier. The girl in the comments. The one he could never stop noticing. As Dom's world collides with Maddox's, what starts with blood and chaos spirals into something neither of them can explain: a messy, obsessive, soul-tied love story filled with trauma, banter, stolen moments, and battles against demons both inside and out. And when the past refuses to stay buried, both will have to decide just how far they're willing to go to protect each other. * Triggers - SA, Shootings *Thanks to those of you taking time to read this ever evolving story.

𝑽𝑰𝑺𝑰𝑶𝑵 𝑶𝑭 𝑳𝑶𝑽𝑬|Book 1
Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it a memory... You know you're in love when you can say anything to the person and you know they won't laugh at you. When you can see their face when you close your eyes. When you can still feel their arms around you holding you tight after they're gone. When you can still taste their kiss after you have said goodbye. You can tell you're in love when you miss them before they're gone. When their voice lingers in your ears. When their presence eases any pain. When their name sends chills down your spin. When they're the only thing you can think about. You know you're in love when you can see all their hopes and dreams and their soul when you look into their eyes. When they call you at four in the morning to say, "I Love You" and mean it. When your tears stain not only their shirt, but also their heart. When even a simple chore done with them can become a lasting memory. Ultimately, you know you're in love when you can't imagine living without them and can't figure how did you live before you knew them. When they fulfill every need and without them you're incomplete. The love of someone else completes the heart, and sound and mind all at once. 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎-𝐟𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟏𝟎, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏Complete
