Showmance: a romance/relationship that is started during the production of a play or musical. Very common in, but not limited to, high school shows.

Len (short for Lennon) and Eric meet under interesting circumstances. She has just been roped into being her friend's "Girl Friday" (AKA assistant stage manager) and he was somehow convinced by his twin, Sophie, to do the sound design for their high school's production of Beauty and the Beast.

United by their inability to understand musicals, the two help each other navigate the politics of the tech crew, which cast members to avoid, and the rules of showmances. 

Although neither had ever heard of the word, they learn it's just part of the package when they find themselves in one. And just because the show is obviously going to be a failure, does their relationship have to be?

It's an excerpt from Victor Hugo's "Les Misérables". He says: "The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories, that it has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now to say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only." I slowly lifted my head towards Collin and I saw him locking his eyes on mine. It was that same glance I just read. It was so evident in him and I could feel it upon me. I became instantly vulnerable and when he pressed his lips to mine, time froze and an explosive ecstasy overwhelmed our whole beings. *** Jamie grew up in Green Hill, where she devoted herself entirely to painting, turning it into her career. Known for her creativity and the abstraction of her art, she gained a certain success that had made her traveling from city to city. At the peak of her career, temporarily staying in a place called Chaston for a few weeks, she met Collin - a charming young man whose appeal was difficult to overlook. Their first meeting felt like a spontaneous intense chemistry, none of them could fight back. Chaston was the beginning of a new adventure but will this shared and intimate energy last longer or forever, knowing she wouldn't stay there for long? "See you again" is a rich literary translated work filled with life turmoils and psychological transformations that will bring you shivers and emotions. Well, at least I hope so. • Original French title: Elle •

I just close my eyes. Feeling him. Smelling him. Just existing close to him. My fingers clutch at his shirt, like it's the only thing keeping me from doing something reckless. Something completely, irrevocably stupid. Like kissing my son's best friend. And it feels so wrong. Oh God. So damn wrong. But then- His thumb shifts against my skin. A slow, lazy stroke. And suddenly, it feels so right. SO DAMN RIGHT. I breathe in too sharply. Mistake. He notices. Of course, he notices. His grip on my hips tightens. "You always this tense?" I force out a breath. "You always this annoying?" Leo laughs under his breath. "Only when I'm right." I tilt my head, and his eyes are already waiting for me-dark, unreadable, impossibly close. His fingers brush just above my waist. Barely there, but enough. Enough to make me hyper-aware of how easy it'd be to- "You wear this every night, don't you?" It takes me half a second to register what he means. The hoodie. His hoodie. *** 💔 She never expected to fall for him. 🔥 He never stopped waiting for her. 🏡 But some love stories don't follow the rules. Jenny Thompson moved to start fresh. A new neighborhood, a new home, a new beginning. What she didn't expect? Leo Mitchell. Her son's best friend. Fifteen years younger. And looking at her like she's something he's never stopped wanting. She tells herself it's nothing. She tells herself it can't happen. But then- 💬 "I don't know how to stop wanting this." 🔥 "Then don't." 📖 A slow-burn, emotional age-gap romance about love, healing, and the risk of wanting more. ** Taboo. Age gap. Off-limits tension. A love that shouldn't exist-but try stopping it.**
When Two Unlikely Worlds Meet, Seokjin x Normani by ttmona1
26 parts Complete
This is the story of the unprecedented meeting of a star in the making by the name of Normani and a young international iconic musical boy band group member Kim Seok Jin. A story of admiration, attraction, love, hardship, struggle for acceptance, compromise and an eventual success to become a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry. The reader may question the pairing as it is somewhat common knowledge that Asians and Americans have a more common marital pairing of Asian woman to Caucasian American man. The potential marital combination of an Asian man and an African American woman is less common, although historically was more visible in society, i.e., during the construction of the railroads era when Chinese immigrant workers would become romantically involved with African American women due to the disproportionate numbers in Asian males to females present at the time. When it comes to this particular pairing a few factors were placed into consideration. The first being previous interaction, similarities in personalities, medical history knowledge backgrounds, astrological factors, age differences and potential success of such a union should the fictional events described by some odd chance of nature become a reality. However, that likelihood remains fictional for all purposes and intent here. Please proceed to explore this story as it delves into the land of possibilities, should the opportunity present itself, in the safety of its fictional existence.
