Before the scandal. Before everything - there was a tour.
The Descendants/Zombies Words Collide Tour gave the world something it didn't know it needed: Malachi Barton and Freya Skye sharing a stage, a spotlight, and something that looked dangerously like more. Fans lost their minds. Fralachi trended for weeks. Everyone was certain.
Then the tour ended - and so did everything else.
No more liked posts. No more late-night stories. Just silence, and the kind of distance that only means one thing.
The rumors filled in the gaps fast. Malachi and Kylie Cantrall had been together since the start of the tour, apparently. A secret relationship, confirmed by someone who should have kept quiet. And the reason it ended? Malachi had been caught - with Malia Baker, Kylie's best friend, of all people.
The photos made it real. The internet made it permanent.
Freya never said a word. She didn't have to. Her EP, Stardust, said everything - at least that's what her fans believed. Golden Boy. Silent Treatment. Two tracks, one very obvious story.
People moved on. Accepted Malachi and Malia. Let Fralachi become a what-if, a almost, a footnote.
Until the Zombies 5 trailer dropped.
There they were again - same orbit, same undeniable pull. But something had shifted. The easy chemistry was gone, replaced by something heavier, something unresolved.
What really happened on that tour?
And why does it still feel unfinished?

Burning out
Everyone thinks Freya is trouble. She skips class, smells like cigarettes, climbs out of bedroom windows after midnight, and never lets anyone close enough to ask why. Malachi certainly isn't planning on becoming her babysitter. He's already exhausted trying to keep his reckless little sister, Kylie, alive. When Kylie starts dragging Freya into every bad decision imaginable, Malachi decides he's done watching from the sidelines. He starts driving them places just so they don't walk home alone. He waits outside parties. He patches scraped knees. He takes cigarettes away. He argues. He lectures. He protects. But somewhere between late-night phone calls, panic attacks, and chasing Freya through rain-soaked streets... Protecting her stops feeling like a responsibility. It becomes an obsession. He can't sleep unless he knows she's home. He memorizes every scar on her hands. He notices when she skips meals. He starts carrying her favorite snacks in his truck "just in case." And before long, everyone notices the same thing- Malachi isn't just looking after Freya anymore. He's completely, hopelessly obsessed with keeping her safe. The problem? Freya has spent her entire life running from people who tried to control her. So what happens when the one person she'd trust with her life slowly becomes the one she can't imagine living without?Complete

Freya and MK have always been a package deal. Not because they're the same, because they're not. MK is loud, protective, sarcastic, and the kind of brother who acts like nothing bothers him even when everything does. Freya is quieter, sharper than people expect, and used to living in the shadow of MK's huge personality. He's her brother, her built-in best friend, and the one person who has always made it clear that nobody messes with her. Especially not his best friend. Malachi has been in MK's life for years. Sleepovers, family dinners, late-night drives, stupid inside jokes, holidays where he basically becomes part of the furniture. He's not just MK's best friend anymore; he's practically family. Which is exactly why MK made one rule from the beginning. "Do not date my sister." At first, Malachi laughed it off. Freya rolled her eyes. MK acted like he was joking. But everyone knew he wasn't. Because MK knows Malachi better than anyone. He knows the flirty comments, the smirks, the reputation, the way Malachi can make someone feel like they're the only person in the room. And even though MK trusts him with almost everything, Freya is the one thing he refuses to risk. So the rule stays.Complete

Thanks to this awesome girly @fralachi_lover for the story idea and designing the title cover for me which looks awesome Josh Colley has one rule for his best friend: Don't touch my sister. Malachi Barton has spent years pretending that rule doesn't destroy him. Because Freya Skye has always been the one person he could never stop wanting - no matter how hard he tried. Freya knows falling for her brother's best friend is a bad idea. She knows sneaking around could ruin everything. But it's hard to stay away from someone who looks at her like she's the only person in the room. Especially when the almost touches start becoming real ones. Especially when late-night conversations turn into secrets. Especially when one mistake changes everything. Now Josh is starting to notice the tension between them. The stolen glances. The unfinished sentences. The way Malachi would do anything for her. And if the truth comes out, they could lose more than just their friendship. Because the closer Freya and Malachi get to each other... the closer they get to destroying the one person standing between them.Complete
𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓. 𓉘𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶 𝗯𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝘆𝗮 𝘀𝗸𝘆𝗲𓉝
𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐘𝐀 𝐒𝐊𝐘𝐄 has always been used to running alone. Volleyball captain, track star, and the kind of girl everyone admires from afar, she thrives on control-both on the court and on the track. But at home, her parents' wealth can't mask the cold, suffocating cruelty that defines her every day. She's learned early that no one will show up for her... and that's exactly how she likes it. 𝐌𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐈 𝐁𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐎𝐍 has the opposite problem: everyone shows up. Football star, track sprinter, and all-around golden boy, he's surrounded by friends, family, and a little sister who worships him. He's used to support, praise, and having people rely on him. Life has always been... easier. They're both popular, in the same tight-knit friend group, and everyone expects them to get along. But Freya and Malachi don't. They clash at every practice, tease each other relentlessly, and can't seem to sit still in the same room without tension sparking between them. What happens when the girl who's learned to survive on her own meets the boy who can't stop trying to protect her? When rivalry becomes something more, and shared spaces-late-night practices, team hangouts, and races that leave them both breathless-force them to confront what they're really running toward... and from? A slow-burn, rivals-to-lovers story about resilience, family, and the courage it takes to finally let someone in. #1 field (08/02/26) #4 freyaskye (08/02/26)
What We Could Hope To Be
Malachi barton, a famous actor who had everything he could ever want. Or did he. Malachi seemed like he had the perfect life. He had the perfect girl by his side, Malia. The "love" of his life, or was she, he had friends and fans who loved him. To everyone he was living the dream, little did they know he had his eyes on a certain blonde that could never quite leave his brain. She was what he always wanted, she spoke the truth, she was soft-spoken, and she wasn't perfect. She was herself, everything malia wasn't. Freya Jones, famous singer/actor who had people chanting her name, she was someone people looked up to, someone people loved more then they loved themselves. She had it all the looks, the smarts, and the personality. She was kind, the person you go to when there's a problem. She wasn't the relationship type of person, she messed around when she needed something to take her mind off a certain boy.. A boy with brown hair, brown eyes, the guy everyone wanted, but the guy no one got. Except one, her "best friend" who took him from her. Who knows, will she get the guy? Will he get the girl?
