At a prestigious elite academy for performing arts, an unspoken war rages beneath the polished floors and booming beats: One campus thrives on discipline, elegance, and centuries-old tradition - the realm of ballet. The other pulses with energy, freedom, and urban rebellion - the home of breakdancers. Louis Tomlinson, one of the most celebrated ballet dancers of his generation, lives for control. Perfection is his standard. Dance is his language. Harry Styles, a rising star in the breakdance scene, moves with instinct, heart, and raw power - rules mean nothing to him. When the school board decides to merge the rival departments into joint classes, two worlds collide. And with them, two hearts. What begins as a fierce battle of taunts, provocations, and unrelenting competition slowly shifts - into respect. Into curiosity. Into a magnetic pull neither of them can ignore. But in a world where tradition and image are everything, the question arises: Is love between rivals even allowed? And what are they willing to risk - for each other?

She was never meant to be noticed. For three seasons, Cecily Featherington has played her part-smiling when required, curtsying when expected, and pretending she doesn't hear the whispers that call her forgettable. But when she vows this season will be her last, fate takes an unexpected turn. He was never meant to fall. Viscount Anthony Bridgerton is the model of propriety-until she walks into the room. With paint on her hands and wit sharper than any gentleman's, Cecily defies every rule he's built his life upon. She is the one woman who unsettles him, challenges him, and makes him question everything he thought he wanted. What begins as rivalry and restraint turns into stolen glances, near confessions, and nights spent wondering if love can survive the weight of reputation. Because in a world where every feeling is a scandal, and every choice has a consequence, Cecily and Anthony's connection is anything but proper. It's fierce. It's forbidden. And it's utterly, irrevocably, out of the ordinary. -- Pre Bridgerton Series - Anthony Bridgerton x Cecily Featherington Standalone Cecily is my creation, and I own all rights to her.
