Sixteen-year-old Nova Jones is not here for kale smoothies, cowboy boots, or her mom's endless "wellness alignment" BS.
Dragged to a The Blue Moon Ranch in British Columbia for her mom's year-long instructor gig, Nova has to survive horses, awkward guests, and realizing what she's always suspected: that her mom's entire wellness persona might be a giant fraud.
Then there's Sawyer Cassidy, the ranch owner's son: handsome, quirky, and allergic to pretending. Somehow, he gets Nova in a way nobody else does, which is both confusing and exhilarating.
Funny, messy, with all the feels, Becoming Nova is about family, identity, and figuring out who you are when everyone around you is faking it.

Water and Sand: A Modern Retelling of Ariadne and Theseus [ONC 2026]
When Teia Cloto travels to Naples, Italy, hoping to steady a life already quietly unravelling, the last thing she needs is blind date that turns into an easy, unexpected friendship. Alden instantly makes the city feel strangely familiar in ways Teia didn't know she needed. Drawn deeper into Naples' ancient past and her own unsettling sense of déjà vu, the line between coincidence and destiny begin to blur. Staying friends is simpler. But Teia must confront whether destiny is a story we inherit, or one we choose to rewrite, no matter the cost. Water and Sand is a contemporary love story that reimagines the myth of Theseus and Ariadne, where love is a labyrinth and friendship feels like the safest way out. #ONC2026 contest. Story is complete. Prompt 24: Staying as friends is meant to be safe, but that doesn't mean it's the path you're meant to take; Prompt 28: Self-love often starts small, like planting a seed. With time, patience, and a bit of light, it will grow; and Prompt 29: You meet many people in your life. Many will come and go, but some will leave footprints on your heart.Complete![EMOTIONS [ONC 2026]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/407381128-256-k931314.jpg)
