Rise and Fall
Life has reinvented the definition of rock bottom so many times for twenty-six-year-old Sadie Blake. When her parents divorced she received a new stepfather, countless bruises and a major aversion to alcohol. With her stepfather she inherited a depressed mother, new siblings and a reckless stepsister. With her stepsister, an abandoned baby nephew and a lifetime of responsibility... Responsibility has never frightened Sadie. For so long it's been all she's known, thrown into situations outside her control and forced to just find a way to make it work. But the kind of responsibility and obligation Sadie has had to endure in her young life isn't sustainable for anyone, let alone a vulnerable teenage girl just trying to keep her family safe; and the repressed memories and overwhelming darkness lingering always in the back of her mind grow more menacing by the day, begging to be seen and felt, and threatening to consume her altogether. Through enlisting the help of a therapist, Sadie realises her list of regrets is a lot more comprehensive than she first thought, and topping that list are two very different but equally important people - Ruben Foster and Camden Jones - neither of which she has seen in over a decade, but who she comes to learn will be key to her positively moving forward in life with her eleven-year-old nephew. But the process of trudging through their respective shared pasts is proving a lot more challenging than she anticipated...Complet

Three Wheeler (Kim Minji x M!Reader) Bbangsaz
In a converted showroom tucked between the quiet edges of the city, a boy who almost gave up his dream, a bassist with sharp eyes and sharper instincts, and a literature major who sings like she's bleeding on tape, find each other by accident-and stay by choice. What starts as a one-off jam session becomes something more: a rhythm that feels like home. But none of them are ready-not for the attention, not for the doubt, and definitely not for what it means to be seen. Set against the backdrop of late nights, slow rides, and half-healed ambition, this is a story about building something out of nothing-together. Genre: soft romance, slow-burn portrait of youth, indie-music theme, self doubt, slice of life, post-coming of age, motivations, grief, fluff. (A/N: every pictures, and songs I may put here belongs to its original owner, but there'll also some made up song title for the sake of the story)Complet
Sleeptoken fic (y/n x band members)| Our paths were bound to cross
When her world was a symphony of financial struggle, (y/n)'s passion for music was a quiet, secret beat she feared would never find its rhythm. A desperate message to up-and-coming drumming sensation II was a final, hopeless prayer. To her shock, he answered not with pity, but with a challenge: one free lesson. That single lesson became a doorway. As a student, then a roommate to the enigmatic band Sleep Token, (y/n) finds herself immersed in the creation of something divine. She forms a quiet understanding with the stoic II, a playful camaraderie with III and IV, and a deep, unspoken creative connection with the band's haunting frontman, Vessel. This connection feels more like worship than friendship. Will it ever blossom into something more? But as the band's star rises, they must leave their shared life behind. The silence they leave behind is deafening. Years later, a VIP ticket and a job offer from the now-world-famous band pull her back into their orbit. The easy friendship with II is now layered with unspoken history, and the creative spark with Vessel has simmered for years into a slow, burning ache. This time, the music isn't just a calling, it's a confession.
