When Forever Looked Like You [LSFanfic]

When rising actor Rafael De Torre - the sharp-tongued, soft-hearted transman the industry can't stop talking about - gets cast opposite Broadway icon Lea Salonga, he tells himself it's just work. A May-December romance on screen, nothing more. He's there to learn, to prove himself, to stay professional.

Lea, on the other hand, has seen it all - the lights, the applause, the loneliness that comes after curtain call. She doesn't expect her newest co-star to challenge her, much less remind her what it feels like to be seen beyond the spotlight.

But as rehearsals turn into late-night conversations, and the script starts to sound a little too familiar, the line between acting and feeling begins to blur. What was meant to be a film about love across years slowly becomes a story of two people finding it for real - messy, beautiful, and impossibly human.
