"Some people come into your life to change it. Others come to ruin it beautifully." - 📁 📜 🍂 . IN WHICH 🐚 .! Ivy Rosewood believed in the quiet comfort of old books, the steady hum of her record player, and the sanctuary of her cinnamon-scented apartment. She was a girl of archives and autumn leaves, never expecting her life to be anything more than a peaceful, solitary library. Drew Starkey didn't believe in peace. Living in a world of blinding camera flashes, high-stakes film sets, and the suffocating weight of A-list fame, he was used to the noise. He was the man on every billboard, the actor everyone wanted a piece of, and he was fucking exhausted by all of it. What starts as a single, rain-slicked night in a London dive bar-the music too loud, the whiskey too sharp-turns into a collision neither of them saw coming. Between the unfiltered conversations and the desperate need to escape their own lives, the line between a fleeting moment and a permanent consequence begins to crack. Three months later, the "beautiful ruin" of that night catches up to them. Ivy is holding a positive pregnancy test in her quiet apartment, while Drew is halfway across the world, oblivious and overprotected by a wall of PR agents and fame. In a whirlwind of secrets, foul-mouthed arguments, and an undeniable pull toward one another, they have to decide if they are just a mistake born of a dark night-or the only real thing they've ever found. - 🕰️ . . . ≈ ⛈️ || • slow burn • || 🍂 .! started ; march 01 2026 published ; march 01 2026 status ; ongoing
