"𝙀𝙠 𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙛 𝙩𝙤 𝙟𝙝𝙖𝙜𝙙𝙖𝙖 𝙝𝙖𝙞" Anika Mirza - the only daughter of the Mirza family, spoiled in comfort and luxury yet lost in her own dreamy chaos. By day, she's the confident girl who does what she wants, unapologetically herself. But by night, she hides behind a pen name, spinning stories of love she secretly longs to live - the kind that exists only in her books. Between chasing fantasies and avoiding reality, she's constantly at war with one person: Aarush, her infuriating shadow, her lifelong rival, and the one who somehow always manages to get under her skin. Little does she know, the story she's been writing might just start with him. ... "𝙎𝙖𝙖𝙩𝙝 𝙥𝙝𝙞𝙧 𝙗𝙝𝙞 𝙩𝙖𝙜𝙙𝙖𝙖 𝙝𝙖𝙞" Aarush Siddique - the youngest son of the powerful Siddique family, charming, reckless, and far too carefree for someone with a past full of untold stories. Beneath the teasing smirk and playful banter lies a man who's seen more than he lets on. He lives for thrill - the roar of engines, late-night races, and the satisfaction of getting on Anika Mirza's nerves. What she calls irritation, he calls connection - because annoying her is the only way he knows to keep her close. The world sees him as the next CEO in line, but for Aarush, his real chase has always been her.

**ONGOING** I have basically this whole thing written, but am open to suggestions on story/plot changes as I upload. After six years of fighting her way to graduation, Y/N L/N moves to Laguna Beach with a suitcase full of camera gear, a half-formed dream, and the terrifying hope that Los Angeles might finally be the place where her life comes into focus. When a chance meeting at a local art gallery leads to an unexpected photography gig at Smosh, Y/N thinks she's only walking into a one-day job. Instead, she finds herself pulled into the controlled chaos of cast shoots, inside jokes, late-night edits, and one frustratingly hard-to-read coworker: Spencer Agnew. He's sharp, sarcastic, annoyingly observant, and somehow always there when she least expects it. As their banter turns into trust and their almost-moments become harder to ignore, Y/N has to figure out whether this new chapter is just another canon event, or the beginning of something real.

"I-Because I missed you okay? I still fucking like you! Hell, I think I'm in love with you!" Heather and Luke are those kids you always see either arguing or laughing together in the hallway. They've just known each other for too long... Like, way too long. You might think they're enemies. Maybe they're that toxic couple. But when one fight turns all the arguing into silence... They stop talking. Completely. Luke doesn't know what to say... And Heather can't stop thinking about him. Her songs? All about him. Her thoughts? Always finding their way back to him. Until she finally sucks it up and texts him. Not another paragraph telling him off. An apology. One that leads to confessions she never planned to make... ...and one Luke never expected to hear. Because somehow, they managed to do it all at the same time: Miss someone. Love them. And hate them. STARTED: 7/7/26 ENDED:

Consider this basically a down to earth peek into the life of a billionaire CEO's life...who owns a corgi, lives in a modest townhome and has an absolutely massive sweet tooth. Tim Gallagher is a 28-year-old CEO of the Wall Street Journal but still has mundane life occurrences and some even weird ones but you walk with him as he tries to navigate every day as any normal person would. Chuck is his Corgi but as Chuck does not appear as often as was intended when I started writing this story as a way to get breaks from life myself, the title is subject to change. But largely the goal for the reader is to enjoy this calm story of Tim & how he tends to adopt or be adopted by most people he comes across.

Lights. Camera. Action. Elena knows the rules. Show up. Hit your mark. Say your lines. Don't let anyone see the real you. Adam knows them too. Be professional. Stay focused. Never blur the line between the camera and real life. There's just one problem. Somewhere between rehearsals, late-night script changes, inside jokes, and scenes that begin to feel a little too real, the script stops making sense. Now the chemistry everyone's applauding on screen is becoming impossible to ignore off screen. But in an industry built on appearances, one wrong move can become tomorrow's headline. Because some stories follow the script. Theirs never intended to.

One built a reputation being good at being invisible - getting the job done, and leaving no trace. Maybe too good. The other restores what everyone else walks past. Old buildings, forgotten facades, the bones of things that are already there - no new complications. Lara flew in from Singapore expecting sand, sibling arguments, and absolutely nothing else. A visit to her brother at a base in the middle of the Mojave wasn't exactly a holiday - but mundane had its appeal. Nothing she hadn't already accounted for. Damon has survived things that don't make it into reports. A Singaporean architect expecting a quiet week in the desert was not in any of his files. Apparently his intel had gaps. Catching flights and feelings - sometimes you just have to lean into the cliché.
