Juno Attraction
On stage, Alex Smith is flawless. Singer. Songwriter. Producer. Actress. Model. Every move rehearsed, every smile a secret. But beneath the lights and applause is someone who's never truly let anyone in - until the night she sees Sabrina Carpenter in the crowd. It's supposed to be routine. The rose she gives out during every performance is part of the act - harmless, symbolic. But when Alex locks eyes with Sabrina, it feels different. Like something inside her recognizes what it's been missing all along. That single gesture changes everything. The chemistry between them is instant - sharp, physical, magnetic. What begins as curiosity and attraction quickly turns into something neither of them can control. Every touch lingers. Every look lasts too long. It's the kind of connection that makes the world fade away. But passion like that doesn't stay hidden for long. In a world built on image, rumors, and envy, both women find themselves walking a line between what they want and what they're supposed to be. Sabrina's heart is still healing, and Alex's is still guarded. Yet, with every secret meeting, every moment spent behind closed doors, what started as desire begins to bloom into something real. Something terrifyingly deep. And just when love finally feels possible, the world reminds them that it's watching - jealous exes, old scars, and dangerous whispers threatening to tear them apart. Still, neither can let go. Because no matter how impossible it seems, that night on stage meant something. It wasn't a performance. It was fate disguised as a rose. 🌹

A 'SUB' REQUEST (Cate Blanchett x OC)
The bedroom door was wide open. "So. It is you." It was barely 6:30pm, the room was dimly lit, and Cate was wearing a lavender nightdress, reclined on an upholstered chaise longue. A cigarette lay fresh in the ashtray on her nightstand, a flimsy wisp of smoke rising from the end. The image floored me. It evoked my early childhood memories of watching the first ever indie movies starring Gena Rowlands in the 70s, the rebellious and gritty spirit of them, and the reasons why I fell in love with cinema as a preteen. ----- An aspiring young film executive encounters Cate Blanchett at a prestigious screening. Financial interests prevent their relationship from becoming anything more than strictly professional. A 'sub' request changes everything. Cate Blanchett x OC. Contains a little smut, maybe fluff, and definitely Hollywood glamor.Complete
