Hi! I'm super excited to be writing this fanfiction for you since I absolutely adore Robert Irwin - and I know a lot of you do too! I'm actually thinking about writing a whole Dancing with the Stars series, so let me know if you'd like that. This is my first fanfiction, and I really hope you enjoy it. Thank you so much for reading! More coming soon! 💛
Robert Irwin has grown up in the spotlight - son of the legendary Steve Irwin, brother of Bindi Irwin, and now one of the most beloved stars on Dancing with the Stars. He's captured the hearts of millions with his wild charm and down-to-earth kindness.
But behind the cameras, under the stage lights, there's one heart he can't seem to win - hers.
Aurora is fierce, graceful, and untamable in her own way - a professional dancer known for her fire on the floor and walls built too high to climb. But when their worlds collide, it's nature meeting instinct - wild meets elegance. Because sometimes, the real dance isn't on the stage - it's the one between hearts.

He's a fallen star, delicate and radiant, shimmering with a light that feels too fragile for the world he's landed in. Everything is new and overwhelming-the sounds, the smells, the chaos of life on Earth-but even amidst the confusion, one person makes it feel safe: Sky. Calm, gentle, and endlessly patient, Sky doesn't just see Nani-he understands him in a way no one else could, and slowly, he becomes the anchor Nani never knew he needed. Their days together are a quiet storm of wonder and laughter. Nani learns the small joys of human life-cooking pancakes that collapse into mush, hiding under blankets to sneak glances at cartoons, and mischievously teasing Sky until the older boy can't help but laugh. Sky, in turn, discovers the joy of having someone so fragile to care for, someone who makes his world brighter simply by existing. Their bond grows through playful pranks, stolen touches, whispered secrets, and soft, lingering moments that make hearts race and cheeks flush. Yet, there is always a tension beneath the fluff. Nani is a star, not made for permanence, and his presence is a beautiful,fragile miracle. Every time he glows too brightly, every time he disappears in streaks of stardust, Sky is reminded that the world is not built for him-and that love alone might never be enough to keep him grounded.

beacon n. a fire or light serving as a guide ☼ Growing up with another half in her twin sister Allison, Eleanor Argent has always struggled with the concept of how she compares to her brave inspiration. But more importantly, she struggles with the idea of how they could be different, even when she wants nothing more than to be the same. In Eleanor's eyes, Allison is confidence and courage; someone to look up to and someone who will always be there for her no matter what. But something from her childhood makes it even harder for Eleanor to tend to her differences. With her wild nightmares and odd hallucinations or tendencies, a fresh start in the community of Beacon Hills in the middle of her teenage years seems highly nerve wracking. However, with the support from her family, new friends with even stranger mysteries than her own, and a boy who makes her glow, the twin can try her hardest to navigate the uncertain conditions in a new town, and the more complicated conditions inside herself. *** SLOW BURN!!!! *** AUTHOR'S NOTE: I wrote this years ago and there are definitely moments that make it clear how young I was when I wrote this LOL but I stand by making this book more of a story that establishes Eleanor as a strong character so she can thrive and you can feel even more connected to her relationships (with Stiles and her family) throughout this book and the sequel, Tether. I get how some people may feel like the bits they get on the way to the romantic high point aren't hot and heavy enough for them personally. To me, I love a build up and it is worth it. But if that's not your cup of tea and you prefer the books to be more about the relationship and love from the beginning - please try a different story by the amazing authors on this platform. Please keep it kind and do not voice hate in the comments. Thank you ❤️ (P.S. there is no smut in this book or the sequel. I'm more comfortable writing "fade to black" scenes LOL) Teen Wolf Season 1 and 2Complete

As a rising ballerina, she thrives under the spotlight yet keeps her private world carefully hidden - especially her true name and her disdain for superheroes, who have turned New York into a stage for chaos. But when the Avengers and Fantastic Four enter her company as patrons, Sky finds herself entangled in their orbit. What begins as a cruel dare between him and Johnny Storm to see if the unshakable ballerina could be made to fall, it spirals into something far more dangerous. Behind the golden mask of Bob Reynolds lies a fractured man, and behind Sky's carefully guarded walls lies a longing she cannot suppress. Folie à Deux is not just their story, but the story of all who circle them: a Spider bitten dancer hiding her powers, a rival ballerina who burns as brightly as the Human Torch, friendships and betrayals that reflect each other in dangerous symmetry. Love and madness echo through every pair until no one is certain who is saving whom, or who is destroying whom. Every bond is a mirror, every relationship a test of intimacy, loyalty, and power. As secrets unravel and the line between performance and reality blurs, Sky must decide whether to keep her heart locked away or risk losing herself to the most dangerous pas de deux of all.
