When the Bus Stopped by shelleyinon

When Lucy Falkwell loses control of her house bus on a lonely alpine road in New Zealand, she finds herself in the midst of opera-singer Alessandro Magno's latest music video. She mistakenly believes she's stumbled upon a horrific crime scene. Lucy, a free-spirited eco-warrior, is ignorant of the world lying between the pages of those tabloid magazines. She doesn't recognize Alessandro, nor has she seen his smoldering publicity shots advertising the fact he's in town. Instead, she deduces that he's the main detective working the case. As the two fall into a strange friendship built upon a mistaken identity (all while attempting to rebuild other parts of their lives), the chemistry between them becomes obvious. But how do you learn to trust someone you never really knew in the first place? *** I like to class this kind of 'genre' as BohoLit. You will understand what I mean when you read it ;)

WHEN CROWS PAINT THE SKY [ONC 2025] by carolannewrites

Jocelyn Jones' life has always been practical - maybe a little too practical. At 44, she has spent years worrying about everybody else, trapped in a marriage whose spark fizzled ages ago. A tomboy at heart, Joss has never been the type to swoon over fairy-tale romances, nor has she ever conformed to society's idea of what a woman "should" be. But everyone has a breaking point, and one morning, over her granola and yogurt, she decides she's had enough. She will leave her suffocating marriage and take a road trip in search of something she's spent too many years trying to hide - herself. As Joss sets off on her self-discovery sojourn, a murder of crows seem to be following her every move. And when one crow - a sharp-tongued, sarcastic creature named Quentin- suddenly starts talking to her, everything changes. Because Quentin is no ordinary crow, Quentin is her new sidekick, an opinionated mentor, and possibly the only creature on earth who can match her dry wit. With every sarcastic quip and unsolicited piece of advice, Quentin helps Joss step into her power, embrace her flaws, and take firm hold of her future's steering wheel on the road of life. When Crows Paint the Sky is a road trip like no other - a humorous and heartwarming journey of self-acceptance and independence, with a little bit of magic thrown in for good measure. With Quentin by her side, Joss discovers that sometimes, the most important journey is the one that leads you back to yourself. #ONC2025 Prompt:120. The door that closed to you many years ago has reopened, and now it's up to you to take a chance once more.

Shattered: An Embellished Memoir by VSCornier

Detailed Book 1 Outline: *Shattered*(working title) **Act 1: The Collapse** - Claire's life appears stable from the outside, but cracks are already forming in her marriage. Greg has grown distant, and Claire feels increasingly isolated. - The hacking begins-small at first, but it quickly escalates.

She meets a fellow patient stuck in infidelity grief, which serves as a wake-up call for Claire. - Through therapy and introspection, Claire realizes that she cannot define herself by Greg's betrayal or the opinions of others. She begins to focus on herself for the first time in years. - The book ends with Claire leaving the hospital, a little stronger but still facing a world that feels hostile and overwhelming.

Underneath the Surface//B.E//G¡p X girl. by Billiesfavgirl093

When two girls as different as night and day cross paths, one a porcelain doll who hides her fractures behind a perfect facade, and the other a storm cloud, misunderstood yet full of untamed beauty, their worlds collide in ways neither could have foreseen. The doll, with her perfect grades, poised demeanor, and practiced smiles, carries a silent weight-cracks invisible to the world but sharp enough to cut herself. The storm, with her unapologetic chaos and defiance of norms, is labeled an outcast, her fierce independence masking a longing for someone to truly see her. As their lives intertwine, they begin to unravel each other's secrets. The doll finds solace in the storm's raw honesty, realizing she doesn't have to carry her pain in silence. The storm, in turn, discovers a strange comfort in the doll's careful attention, learning that vulnerability doesn't make her weak. Together, they begin to mend the broken pieces of their souls, finding strength in their differences and a shared understanding in their pain. It's in the quiet moments-whispered confessions at midnight, stolen glances in crowded rooms, and laughter that breaks through tears-that they realize they're not as opposite as the world thinks. They're two halves of the same truth: that even the most delicate porcelain and the fiercest storms can heal each other. --------- Billie Eilish fanfic G¡p X girl Enjoy.. :)
