Time And I by jackson_terrance

Mel Snider is the girl everyone stares at as she walks down the hall. Due to her best friend being the most popular boy in school, she's used to her fair share of malicious glares and gossip surrounding her. The only reason she doesn't let it bother her is because she knows that she'll have to endure it all once she's a famous drummer in a famous rock band. Having been searching for a band for years, she still continues to practice every day. With drumming being her life, she doesn't allow time for anything except schoolwork, her two best friends, and her sister. However, being the only person in school who isn't afraid of the violent bad boy, Devon Quid, she'd been forced to bring him his schoolwork after he refused to come back to school after his suspension ended. With Mel continuously bumping into Devon (as well as finding reasons to go see him), she begins to let him into her life. But letting him into her life means making the time to be with him. After always placing drumming at the top of her list, she wonders if she should continue to focus solely on her drumming, or if it's worth it in the end to balance her time to be with someone special. Inspired by the anime's 'Say, "I Love You",' 'Kimi ni Todoke,' and 'My Little Monster.'

Room Next Door ☆ Elijah Hewson by Thebabyjones

Eli Hewson, frontman of the rising rock band Inhaler, is unraveling. Months of creative block, tension with his bandmates, and a devastating breakup with his girlfriend, Grace Burns, have left him questioning everything-his music, his relationships, even his identity. What once felt like a dream life now feels hollow, and the cracks are impossible to ignore. In search of clarity, Eli retreats to the legendary Chelsea Hotel in New York, hoping its storied walls might reignite his lost spark. There, among ghosts of artists past, he isolates himself from fame, friends, and expectations-until he meets Saoirse Dupret. Saoirse, a sharp-witted groupie-turned-columnist for Star magazine, lives in the room next door. With her unapologetic energy, biting commentary on the music world, and a personal history as complex as Eli's, she becomes an unlikely companion. As the two form a friendship built on late-night conversations, shared loneliness, and mutual curiosity, Eli begins to peel back the layers of his life and rediscover the heart of his artistry. But as their bond deepens and the outside world starts to call him back, Eli must confront the truth about who he is-both onstage and off-and what he's willing to sacrifice to find his voice again. Set against the backdrop of rock 'n' roll's past and present, this is a story about identity, reinvention, and the unexpected connections that can pull us out of the darkest moments.

Beneath the surface, though, she hides a secret that has nearly ruined her life once, already. You see, Jay is a closeted lesbian in a military town.

Two worlds collide and what awaits her below has her reconsidering everything she thought about this town. *Note- This story takes place in 2010 and is loosely based on my own high school experience.

Quiet by audenueno

Whip: I've spent years keeping the rhythm while everyone else takes the spotlight. But on the side? I've been writing my own music in secret for years. Music that sounds like the real me.

Jules: I wasn't looking for it. But when I hear Whip's music, it stops me cold. It's not just good. It's incredible. And he's hiding it, like it doesn't matter, like he doesn't matter. But I see him. There's so much more to him, a depth he doesn't let people see. And this music? It's him. But Whip has to make the choice himself. Stay in the background, keep playing it safe... or finally take the risk and step into his own spotlight.
