In the heart of Manhattan in 2001, Annie Paisley finds solace in the quiet corners of the New York Public Library, escaping into poetry and routine to shield her gentle sadness from the world. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with Rael, a reserved library assistant whose curiosity about the mysterious girl by the window slowly draws him out of his shell. 

What begins as a simple act of kindness, a returned book unfolds into a tender connection, as Annie and Rael discover comfort, laughter, and the courage to open up to each other amid the city's bustle. Through stolen moments, late-night walks, and shared dreams, their friendship blossoms into something deeper, painting their ordinary days with extraordinary warmth.

But as their story unfolds in the golden light of library windows and under Manhattan's star-strewn sky, one question lingers: will Annie and Rael dare to trust in the quiet magic they've found, or will the world outside pull them apart? 

Discover a love story woven from poetry, serendipity, and the gentle hope that sometimes, the right person can turn even the loneliest city into home.

Madeleine "Maddie" Harper never imagined her life would unfold like a slow migration. After years of rejection, restlessness, and suffocating expectations, her long-awaited acceptance to NYU finally cracks open a world she thought would never belong to her. With her best friend Nate heading to Columbia, both carry their own weights-the fear of change, the ghosts of home, and the pressure to prove that leaving was worth it. Like a narwhal breaking through the Arctic ice, Maddie emerges into the unfamiliar waters of New York City-cold, vast, and breathtaking. Narwhals are known as the "unicorns of the sea," elusive and resilient, navigating through extreme environments with quiet grace. Much like them, Maddie learns to survive in the shifting tides of adulthood, adapting to pressures she doesn't fully understand yet, following instinct when direction fails. In her new life, Maddie finds unexpected warmth in friendship-especially in Anastasia "Anne" Elizabeth-Collins, her roommate from the Upper East Side. Anne's world is one of privilege and poise, polished in all the ways Maddie's never been. They clash at first, as opposite as deep sea and sunlight, but soon discover that both are just trying to stay afloat in their own ways. Through alternating perspectives, the story explores how two young women-one learning to belong, the other learning to break free-navigate love, loss, ambition, and identity in a city that demands everything. Together, Maddie and Anne's worlds intertwine like currents beneath the surface-sometimes turbulent, sometimes still-each helping the other find strength in their differences. And like narwhals that travel in small, loyal pods through freezing seas, they remind us that survival isn't about conquering the storm. It's about finding who swims beside you when the ice begins to crack. ⭐️Updated every Saturday and Sunday ⭐️Don't forget to like, comment, share, and stay tuned for the next chapter!

Westlake, South Carolina. Home to Brooklyn Callahan, the best latte maker on the east coast. Or so her mom tells her. She's lived in the mundane town with two stop lights her whole life, never needing more than the beach, her record player, and three coffees a day to counteract her terrible sleep schedule. Nothing interesting has ever happened to her and nothing ever will...that is, until one of the most famous, brown haired, green eyed nineteen year olds in the world waltzes into her work near closing and orders a black coffee. The ten minute exchange doesn't go very far, but with the whole summer ahead of him, Harry is determined to learn more about the first person he's met in a long time that didn't know his name. Brooklyn has only known quiet, and Harry has only known commotion. What happens when they show each other the sides of life they've been missing, overcome trials, and experience heartbreak, all while learning what love is in the process? EXCERPT: "I'm Harry." He says, and I only furrow my brow deeper. "Brooklyn." I say, even though I told him last night. "And I'm confused." "About what?" "You." "Already? We barely know each other yet." "Yet?" "I said I had the summer off." "...Congrats?" He laughs. "If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to make the most of it in your little town you call Westlake." Now I laugh. Hard. Almost a little too hard. And now I'm embarrassed. "Sorry, I just have no idea why you would subject yourself to that." I sigh. "I'd like a little bit of nothing." He says, repeating my words from last night. "I mean I guess there's nothing wrong with that...but why are you telling me this?" His gaze averts from me to the window for a few seconds before he looks back at me and shrugs his shoulders. "Don't know. But I like you, Brooklyn, so maybe you can show me around." - every chapter is based off of a taylor swift song, but you don't have to be a fan of hers to read! <3 STARTED JANUARY 2022 COMPLETED AUGUST 2022

I've learned the nights are tough for her. in the darkness we lay together, and even through the hectic life of mine, she is the one overwhelmed by things she wished to never be apart of. "What's on your mind darling?", we both reached a breaking point of exhaustion, yet I never shut my eyes, she took care of everyone, it was my turn to watch over her. In all things I've been so intrigued about in life, she became one of them, ever since that night she looked of sapphire, I was drawn to her, she became my addiction, my high. My mind craved nothing more than her voice, her scent, the left over gloss on my lips after she had kissed me. I'm so passionate about this woman, so ardent.
