Christopher is a failed musician who scours the city everyday for someone who will consider him. He lacks passion, they say, and he knows that he has no inspiration.

Continuation of "Play!" As a first year student of the Queensland con, Brett Yang can count himself very lucky. He's chosen as a candidate for the soloist spot for a joint orchestra project during summer break, which is a huge deal. But instead of being happy about it, the pressure gets to him. What if he fails? What if the candidate from the other orchestra gets elected instead of him? And, who is the other competitor anyway?

•《INVISIBLE STRING》• by Sassy-San

'There are plenty of ways to die, but only love can kill and keep you alive to feel it.'- Leo Christopher said and he felt that badly but in all these when he thinks about Neharika, it fucks him up. ------------------------- Sometimes we create our own heartbreaks through expectations that's what happened with her but the worst pain is being homesick for arms that don't want to hold you. She just hopes that when he thinks of her, it fucks him up. ------------------------- The collision of fire & the collection of hues that shines through the darkness and can only be seen by a few. In a world of strangers, you are an acquaintance on a piece of Invisible String. Was there some Invisible String that was tying us from all these years?

Awkward by Jackie_Moore

Two people from different worlds. A football player and an awkward musician. What's the worst that could happen, right?

Cacophony by DivergentlyYours

Sydney didn't have much, but that was fine with her. She didn't need much. Growing up on the Washington coast in a lonely beach town, working quietly behind the scenes was what she was good at. Living on the beach was much less glamorous than most people imagine. Her home was a beat up old Winnebago that she had shared with her father until he passed. Her father had been a detached parent. He loved his daughter of course, but he was by no means an affectionate man. She had grown up fending for herself, working backstage at a bar that hosted live bands using a fake ID. After the death of her father she saw an ad for a guitar technician for a local Seattle band. A love of rock and roll had been the one thing that her and her dad had in common. Selling everything that she didn't need she packed up her pickup truck and travelled north to the city, leaving the sleepy town in her rear view mirror. She didn't expect to embark on what would become the adventure of a lifetime. For someone who had hardly left the town she grew up in, the opportunity to get paid to travel the country and listen to great music was a dream come true. The band became her family, and life on the road was a perfect fit for her. Chris Cornell instantly became Sydney's best friend in the whole world. They were in love, that was plain as day to anyone who paid attention. Yet, sometimes love isn't as simple as it should be. Sometimes, love hurts. Warning: This book covers potentially triggering subjects such as depression, suicidal ideation, domestic abuse, sexual assault, poverty and drug use. These are issues that many of us have faced and are very real. If you or a loved one is experiencing suicidal thoughts or abuse in a relationship, please reach out and find help.
