It's 1977, and 19 year-old Jackson Turner is still searching for the girl he met 3 years ago, who disappeared after her sister, artist Cecilia Rivers, died. After recognising her face, the summer that took place all those years ago gradually moulds itself between the gaps in Jackson's memory, until his fixation surrounds the recollection of the short time they spent together.
In an endearing tale of a childish romance which ended all too abruptly, two young minds attempt to realise each other's vulnerability with ingenuous empathy and delicate understanding.All Rights Reserved

Technicolor Beat by Scribe18

"It's like . . . you know how at the end of summer camp or college everyone packs all their stuff up and drives off before you so they can go home and reunite with family, and the whole camp is empty and you're standing in the middle of your vacant dorm because your ride isn't here yet?" ". . . Yeah?" "It's like that. Immortality is being left behind at camp alone, and you don't know why." She couldn't remember her name. Didn't really matter, plenty of substitutes available. They almost numbered the amount of years she'd been in this world. Luckily for her, there was one reason she was still here, and as soon as she figured out what the hell it was she could fix it and move on. He remembered her. And what she looked like, how she took her coffee, everything. He couldn't get her out of his head. She was his muse, a glimpse into the impossible where he may finally have something to write about. But what happens when inspiration turns into love, especially with someone who is unable to reciprocate it? Does tragedy or intimacy await them? What is destiny, really?

Through the Quiet Echoes by nottiarina

Eli and Jeo have been best friends for as long as they can remember. At 14, Eli is caught in the confusion of growing up and growing apart from the one person who's always been by her side. Jeo, two years older, is the charming, carefree guy who's never been afraid to speak his mind or tease her into laughter. Their bond is effortless-until it isn't. As they navigate the ups and downs of high school, Eli's feelings for Jeo begin to change in ways she can't ignore. But Jeo's attention is scattered, his heart seemingly always a step ahead of hers. When a seemingly innocent friendship becomes tangled in unspoken emotions, both are left to question if their bond is enough to weather the storm or if crossing the line from best friends to something more will shatter what they've always known. With slow-burn romance, heartfelt moments, and the dramatic push-and-pull of wanting more without risking everything, Through the Quiet Echoes is a coming-of-age tale of love, heartbreak, and the complexity of the friendships that shape us.

Crescendo || Schrucy Fanfic AGED UP! by makeine

!! FINISHED !! Still reviewing each chapter for correction before publishing them. Schroeder always believed that music was his one true love-until Lucy van Pelt crashed into his life, loud, stubborn, and impossible to ignore. She was his greatest distraction, his biggest frustration, and the only person who ever made him feel something beyond the notes on his piano. Years later, he has everything he ever dreamed of: sold-out concerts, worldwide recognition, and the chance to play alongside legends. But no amount of success can drown out the echoes of what he left behind. When a chance reunion forces him to face Lucy once more, old wounds reopen, and unspoken words hang between them like an unresolved chord. She's different now-bolder, more distant, and utterly indifferent to the boy who once consumed her world. As their paths intertwine in ways neither of them expected, Schroeder is forced to confront the truth he spent years running from: was his dream worth losing her? And if the music never stopped between them, is it too late to play one final song?

Yes Amor ( Schrucy ) by Grimtasticc

Lucy Van Pelt has always been a bit of a tease, especially when it comes to Schroeder, the quiet piano prodigy who seems to pay her little mind. But when a stray note falls from his sheet music, revealing a surprisingly thoughtful message, Lucy is left both confused and intrigued. What begins as a playful exchange of teasing notes quickly turns into something more meaningful, blurring the lines between rivalry and something deeper. As Lucy and Schroeder continue their written conversations, they both start to see each other in a new light.
