🎶 Some songs can't be written until you find the right person to sing them with.
Zane Calloway, the brooding frontman of Midnight Echo, is out of words. With a major tour approaching and an unfinished album hanging over his head, his writer's block is threatening to unravel everything he's built. No matter how hard he tries, the music just won't come.
Lena Mercer has spent her life hiding in the shadows, letting her lyrics speak for her. She loves music but dreads the spotlight, content to write songs only for herself-until her best friends push her onto an open mic stage.
When two members of Midnight Echo stumble upon Lena's performance, they know she's exactly what their band needs. There's just one problem: Zane refuses to meet her, and Lena wants nothing to do with the fame he lives in.
As fate-and some very determined bandmates-conspire to pull them together, their worlds collide in an unexpected way. Their chemistry is undeniable, their melodies effortless, but stepping into the light means risking everything.
Will they be brave enough to turn their unspoken lyrics into something real? Or will the fear of being seen keep them both silent?
✨ A slow-burn rockstar romance filled with music, tension, and two souls learning to find their voice.

2000.
When White Siren land their first real gig, it's supposed to be the start of everything - their chance to finally break out of garage rehearsals and midnight dreams. But for lead guitarist Isaac, the night spins out of control the moment he sees her - the sister who shouldn't be there, who isn't quite herself anymore. What begins as a band chasing a break becomes something darker: a tangle of secrets, guilt, and haunting echoes of an accident no one wants to talk about. As the group starts to fracture under the weight of what Isaac's hiding, his bond with lead singer Luke grows into something neither of them can ignore - something tender, dangerous, and impossibly real. Between late-night rehearsals, empty bars, and the static hum of something watching, White Siren must face the truth about each other, and about the music that binds - and curses - them. Because sometimes the song that saves you... is the same one that haunts you forever.
Ari and Zac
Ari Callahan has no idea how to talk to boys -- or how to talk to anyone for that matter. Enter Zac, the cute new guy in town who won't stop texting her. But is his interest real, or does he have a hidden agenda? ***** Found as a young child washed up on the beach, 17-year-old Ari Callahan has never uttered a word out loud to anyone -- not even her adoptive family. Psychologists have diagnosed her with a condition called selective mutism, but Ari can't help identifying with her namesake character, Ariel, the little mermaid in the fairytale whose voice was stolen by a sea witch. Mermaid-obsession aside, Ari's silence makes socializing tough. She's never had a boyfriend or been asked out on a date. Not until Zac, the confident new arrival in town, asks for her number. But Zac has his own reasons for texting with Ari. He's part of a movement to sabotage the artificial music app called SirenSong, threatening to render human singing obsolete. Zac's collaborators have scoured the globe in search of a singing voice perfect enough to break the SirenSong spell, and their search has led them straight to Ari's beachside town. Will her relationship with Zac help Ari find her voice and unlock the secrets of her origins? Or will he use her and leave her high and dry? Title: Ari and Zac (formerly The Mermaid Hypothesis) Content Warning: This story contains references to selective mutism, suicidal thoughts, and early childhood trauma.Complete![The Nightmare at Warped Tour [A Set It Off FanFic]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/6980712-256-k911530.jpg)
The Nightmare at Warped Tour [A Set It Off FanFic]
We all have that one dream that we desperately want to come true, don't we? I know I do, my name is Clementine Meadows or at least I've made it to be. My real name on my birth certificate is Amelia Rogers, I never particularly cared for the name my parents bestowed upon me, so I changed it in high school. But I should get back to the true point in this, description, or explanation, whichever. My dream is to be the merch girl for Sleeping With Sirens, I won't lie it mostly has to do with being close to Kellin Quinn, my one and only true love. But also to spend Warped Tour with a band I love on a tour I've felt I was meant to be on. Only I don't get exactly what I wanted. No, instead I'm stuck with some no name band, from Tampa, Florida. I mean who gives a damn about Set It Off? Who are they really? Does it matter? Of course, by the end of the tour, I'll learn they'll be more to me than I ever expected. Set It Off is a real band, as well as each of the band members, Cody Carson, Austin Kerr, Dan Clermont, Maxx Danziger, Zach Dewall, as well as their wonderful tour manager, Andrew Cramb. I would like to point out, that none of the guys are they way they are made out to be in this story, they are not jerks, actually they are the opposite, there wonderful and huge sweethearts. So I am being melodramatic for the story, as well as making the character out to see the guys how she wants to see them. There are many ways for everyone to talk to them, or listen to them.

Mutilate My Heart
Punk rock band Mutilated Arteries has been seventeen-year-old Becca's world (aka obsession) for the last year. When the band schedules a concert in her hometown, she and her best friend Carli are the first ones in line to buy tickets. The night is everything she expects it to be and more, especially after making friends with the new super-cute bassist, Sketch. Becca's mom warns her not to fall for a rock star because rock stars are always on the road - or they die in a plane crash, like her mom's favorite band did twenty-something years ago. But after the band's tour bus breaks down and they're stuck hanging out in Roizen Hills for a week, it's hard for Becca not to fall for Sketch and his caricature drawings and toxic green eyes. Becca knows Sketch is leaving as soon as the bus is fixed, and she can't be his fan-turned-girlfriend anyway because of the lead singer's "No Girlfriends" rule. Plus, there's something strange about the guys that Becca can't quite decipher... like how they won't reveal their real names, their always-changing odd appearances, and the guitarist's obsession with blood and zombies. Still, Becca wants nothing more than for Sketch to mutilate her heart...but it just might not be in a way she expects.Complete
