Will their pasts allow them to have a future together? Elizabeth "Esi" Solomon is an Afro-Caribbean British girl studying at an Ivy League University in Connecticut with big dreams to make the world a better place. Porte Danvers could not be any more different- there was his perfectly tamed blonde hair, grey eyes, and the way that he approaches life and her-intentionally. He is a wealthy Architecture alum at the same university, but hard losses have made him adopt a distant attitude to others. When the two surprisingly hit it off at the campus bookstore, Esi and Porte bond over a shared love of classical literature. As their friendship deepens to something more, both of their pasts threaten to pull them apart. When push comes to shove will their pasts hamper a shared future or will their friendship be lost forever?

"Isabella-Rose wait! Rosie! Wait, please stop!" but I didn't listen I just kept going, the humiliation was just giving me enough motivation to get far away from him as fast as I can. But then then he eventually caught up and stepped in front of me and he held my big shoulders. But I refused to look at him in the eye so my eyes were glued to the ground. "Look at me." he said with such a demanding tone that I just gave in and looked up. "I wasn't trying to hurt your feelings, I told you that I love you and that I care about you, but just not the way you want me to. You're my best friend's niece Isabella-Rose. You're like my little sister. I deeply care about you, and I like our conversations, I don't want us to stop talking to each other. But I'm just way too old for you, I'm 24 you're 17 that's a 7 year age gap. That's way too old." as he said all this I couldn't stop thinking of how foolish I've been.

Deja Washington, a 32-year-old Black woman and established book editor at a prestigious New York publishing house, has sworn off Valentine's Day after a string of disappointing relationships that always seem to fizzle out just when things get serious. When she's assigned to work with Takeshi Yamamoto, a 35-year-old Japanese-American literary translator known for his meticulous perfectionism and emotional reserve, their professional collaboration begins with immediate friction-her spontaneous editing style clashes violently with his methodical approach to preserving authorial intent. As they're forced to work together on an urgent project translating and editing a controversial manuscript over the two weeks leading up to Valentine's Day, their constant arguments slowly reveal the deep wounds and fears they both carry: Deja's abandonment issues from a father who left when she was young and a pattern of choosing emotionally unavailable men, and Takeshi's struggle with vulnerability after a broken engagement three years ago left him convinced he's incapable of meeting anyone's emotional needs. The story unfolds across intimate late-night editing sessions in Takeshi's cramped Brooklyn apartment, tense meetings in Deja's corner office overlooking Manhattan, and stolen moments in the rare bookshops and quiet corners of the city they both love, as they navigate professional respect bleeding into genuine friendship, and friendship igniting into something neither of them planned for but both desperately need-if only they can overcome their fears long enough to let each other in.

Sienna is a celebrity hair stylist in Atlanta, working out of a high-end salon in Buckhead. She spends her days making the city's elite look flawless while she's one missed payment away from her own world crumbling. She knows how to navigate the egos and the luxury, but she's strictly "behind the chair"-until a case of mistaken identity at an exclusive charity gala changes everything. Mistaken for a wealthy socialite from a prominent family, Sienna decides to play the part for just one night. But then she meets him-a magnetic, low-key billionaire who is tired of the fake Atlanta scene and looking for someone who doesn't care about his net worth. He proposes a 7-day detox: they leave the city, head to a quiet corner of rural Georgia, and pretend to be a regular couple with no money and no status. Sienna accepts, desperate to escape her mounting bills and the pressure of the city. But the chemistry is 10/10, and the lie is getting harder to maintain. With her toxic ex-boyfriend tracking her location through Instagram and threatening to expose her as a fraud, Sienna is playing a dangerous game. In 2026, everyone in Atlanta is selling a dream. But when the seven days are up, Sienna might lose the only thing that was ever real.

Sixteen years ago, a crystal kingdom fell. A princess vanished. And the world forgot she ever existed. Now Tiana Taraji Aruna lives a normal life on Earth - worrying about grades, music, and making sure everyone else is okay before herself. Until the night her voice cracks the air like glass... and magic answers back. Suddenly she's thrown into fairy battles, hidden realms, and Alfea College, where a serious - and dangerously pretty - mage named Talia insists: "You're not normal. You're royalty." With enemies hunting her, emotions turning into spells, and a heart too big for her own good... Tiana must uncover the truth about who she really is. Because some girls aren't meant to stay hidden. Some girls are meant to shine. Even if it breaks them first.

*Do you ever wonder what happens to unfinished stories?* Well, Talia never thought of that, and she never had time for stories anyways, not when her love life was falling in pieces, her friendship status was zero, and her confidence was slipping off the deep end. Then, she suddenly wakes up in the fantasy world she and her once close friends had created when they were kids. Except, instead of a utopian fairyland with beautiful princesses, kind dragons, and powerful warriors, it's a world hanging on by a thread, threatening to destroy the only magic Talia has ever experienced in her life. I mean, the world still has dragons and wizards, but now they are fighting for their lives, AND have to put up with bad boyfriends. Talia now had a new goal: she has to journey through her own imagination, fix the unnecessary plot holes nine year old Talia had left unfixed, and find her friends before the story closes in on itself, trapping them there forever. Hey, at least she finally gets to meet her prince charming, even though his charm may have been a little exaggerated. Note: This is Part one of The STIJEZ series, following the six girls and their adventures through their own fairytale. Also note that this story is meant to be a first draft of sorts. So, I'll just be writing, posting, and making edits along the way. Thank youuuu

Devastated by betrayal and drowning in PTSD, she flees to Kyoto, Japan on a two-year MFA scholarship in design, desperate to escape the wreckage of her life in Atlanta. Arriving broken and barely functional, Tori navigates crushing loneliness, brutal culture shock, and hypervisibility as a Black woman in homogeneous Japan. She faces constant stares, microaggressions, and the exhausting work of existing in a country where she'll always be Other. Through traditional joinery workshops, she meets Ren Beaumont-a half-Japanese, half-French architecture student with devastating good looks and an emotionally unavailable playboy reputation, haunted by his own family wounds and running from intimacy through meaningless hookups. As they learn kintsugi-the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, making it more beautiful for having been broken-two shattered people begin to recognize themselves in each other's cracks. Tori must decide if she can trust again after annihilating betrayal, while Ren confronts whether he's capable of the vulnerability real love requires.
