Leap of Faith (Pedro Pascal + OC)

Wait For Your Love {ariana/you}
When Y/N lands a job as Ariana Grande's personal assistant instead of going to college, she expects long hours, endless travel, and chaotic schedules-but not the slow, aching pull of feelings they have no business developing. From the early days of the Yours Truly era, through the highs of superstardom and the lows of heartbreak, Y/N is always there-managing interviews, arranging travel, and ensuring Ariana's world runs smoothly. But as the years pass, their connection deepens. The stolen glances, late-night conversations, and quiet moments between rehearsals blur the lines of professionalism and longing. By the time the Sweetener tour arrives, Y/N can no longer deny it-she's in love with Ariana. Spanning over a decade of music, fame, and unspoken words, Wait for Your Love is a slow-burn romance about timing, devotion, and the love story that was always in the background, just waiting for its moment. ___________________________________________________________________________________ I don't have a huge plan for this other than an idea of a plot and some scenes that have popped into my head so I have no idea how this thing is gonna go. Wicked, Cynthia, and Ariana are my current hyper fixations so I needed to do something with it. Hope it doesn't suck!
Love From Afar
Ava Lee Silva's summer routine was simple: survive her older brother's endless teasing, try not to spiral over her insecurities, and-definitely-not fall for her brother's ridiculously good-looking best friend, Cole-Maverick Walker. Because there was no way she stood a chance. Cole was tall, confident, and annoyingly perfect. And he only had eyes for other girls. So, Ava kept her crush a secret, buried under layers of sarcasm and the chaos of growing up. But then, a few years later, fate has other plans. Ava's at university, trying to avoid her complicated past-especially Cole, who's suddenly looking at her like she's not just Jack's little sister anymore. And Cole? He's definitely not immune to her charm now that she's not a teenager anymore. The sparks between them are undeniable, and the tension? Off. The. Charts. But with jealousy bubbling under the surface, old insecurities resurfacing, and their lives in totally different places, can they really make this work? Or will the weight of her past-and his complicated history with love-destroy whatever this is before it even starts? First love, explosive chemistry, a whole lot of secrets, and more than a few "I can't believe they just did that" moments. This is a love story that'll make you laugh, swoon, and maybe even throw your book across the room when things get a little too hot to handle.![No Control [Hariana]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/42468719-256-k436376.jpg)

Soft Launch 🖤 Pedro Pascal
She was Hollywood's golden girl. He was the internet's favorite daddy. They were never supposed to fall in love - especially not for the cameras. Aurelia Valez - Rey to her friends - is the industry's most beloved It Girl. With a blockbuster career, a platinum group chat, and a face made for magazine covers, she's untouchable. Or so she thinks. When she's cast as the newest lead in The Mandalorian, Rey walks straight into the helmeted chaos that is Pedro Pascal - charming, older, and maddeningly off-limits. But when the internet starts shipping them harder than their characters, PR sees opportunity. One fake relationship. Endless speculation. Zero self-control. In a world of staged kisses, red carpet whispers, and fans who see everything, Rey must navigate what's real, what's fake, and what's absolutely forbidden. Because falling for Pedro Pascal on-screen is expected... falling for him off-screen could ruin everything. A love story set in the chaos of fame, fandom, and finding something real where the world only sees a headline. Achievements: #1 in Pedro Pascal 12/07/25
