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.

". . . 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.

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?

Paper Hearts
Ananya and Lalit's story was never meant to be a grand love affair. It started with quiet conversations, shared books, and the comfort of each other's presence. When they finally decide to date, it isn't out of passion but out of possibility-Ananya, hopeful and sincere; Lalit, searching for an escape from a past he can't quite leave behind. At first, everything flows effortlessly-late-night talks, stolen glances, the warmth of companionship. But love is not always about beginnings. As their bond deepens, unspoken doubts creep in. Ananya falls completely, while Lalit hesitates, torn between his past and the present he isn't sure he belongs to. What happens when affection turns into confusion, when one moves forward while the other stands still? A story of love, longing, and the quiet unraveling of something that was never meant to last.Complete
Crescendo || Schrucy Fanfic AGED UP!
!! 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?Complete
