when the newly hired photographer for the Vancouver Canucks meets the new captain

Knox has spent years perfecting the art of not giving a damn. He has spent his whole life keeping people at arm's length, working late shifts, smoking through the exhaustion, and surviving each day with the numb detachment of someone who learned too young that caring only leads to pain. The art club he joins for extra credit is supposed to be just another chore. Instead, he founds a new obsession and four artist that, turns out, aren't as bad as he thought. Knox doesn't want redemption. He doesn't believe in healing arcs or clean endings. But as the weight of his past presses closer, and the present demands choices he can no longer postpone, he's forced to confront a question he has never allowed himself to ask: What happens when running is no longer enough?

"Who is that girl?" I turned around and answered with a shrug. Thatha wasn't convinced. And Dad looked far too entertained. I should have known better. Because silence worked on most people. On almost everyone. Just not on the two men standing in front of me. Unfortunately, I was related to both of them.

As the daughter of legendary music producer Quincy Jones, Vanessa Jones has spent her life around the music industry without ever wanting to be the center of it. But when her father's work brings her closer to the Jackson family, she finds herself pulled into a world of recording studios, family gatherings, and people who quickly become impossible not to care about. Among them is Michael Jackson. What begins as an unexpected friendship slowly grows into something neither of them is prepared for, forcing them to navigate family expectations, growing careers, and feelings that are becoming harder to ignore.

Mukul had photographed countless people. Brides glowing with happiness. Grooms hiding their nervousness. Families celebrating their most precious moments. To him, every picture told a story. What he didn't expect was becoming part of one. Hired as a photographer for the wedding of Prakhar and Aakruti, Mukul finds himself surrounded by powerful people, tight security, and secrets he doesn't understand. Among them stands Shushant-the feared man everyone avoids, the man known as the Merciless Monster. Cold. Untouchable. Dangerous. Or so everyone says. Because behind the terrifying reputation, Mukul keeps catching glimpses of someone entirely different. And with every stolen glance, every accidental meeting, and every picture taken, the line between curiosity and love begins to blur. After all, some photographs capture memories. Others capture hearts.

She lived in Flat 302. Or at least, that's what they thought. When the old lady goes missing from the third floor of their apartment building, a criminology student and a photographer or her neighbours decide to find her. But the moment they start asking questions, something feels off. Their neighbours deny ever seeing her. The building records say she doesn't exist. It's like she was never there at all. Except they both remember her clearly. As they dig deeper, they realize someone in the building is lying. Someone has erased her from existence. And they're willing to keep her secret buried-no matter what. Now, it's not just about finding an old lady anymore. It's about uncovering why everyone's pretending she never lived here. What happens when the person you're looking for never officially existed?

**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.

Shoutout to @Lyn_67 for being encouraging, appreciating my story, and offering an idea for this narrative. I hope this one meets your expectations. ------------------------------------------------------- Prologue Before Paris Every love story looks inevitable in retrospect. People like to imagine that meaningful moments announce themselves-that fate arrives with certainty, that beginnings feel extraordinary while they are happening. But most real beginnings are quiet. They happen on ordinary days, inside ordinary decisions, while people are too busy living to realize their lives are changing. Before Paris, there were two people who had built lives many would envy. Kim Taehyung had spent years moving from schedule to schedule, stage to stage, becoming someone recognized everywhere he went. Success had become routine. Applause had become familiar. Yet somewhere beneath the performances and expectations, he began wondering something he had avoided for years: who was he when nobody needed him to be BTS's V? Far away, Lin Xiaoran lived a different version of the same life. Her world was filled with cameras, scripts, promotions, and constant visibility. She became different people for a living, but sometimes wondered whether she had become too good at appearing fine. Her life was full, successful, and strangely lonely. Neither was searching for love. One wanted quiet. The other simply wanted to breathe. Neither knew that a city they had chosen for entirely different reasons would change everything. Because this story did not begin with a confession. Or a kiss. Or certainty. It began with a bridge. A gust of wind. Scattered pages. And two people who did not yet realize they were about to become each other's favorite place to return to.

The Shape of Want Dr. Naledi Jacobs has spent her entire life doing what was expected of her. A respected surgeon. A devoted wife. A loving mother. For years, responsibility came before everything else. Then Ayanda "Aya" Mokoena walked into her life. What begins as a simple connection slowly becomes something neither woman intends and neither woman can ignore. Aya is young, ambitious, and trying to find her place in the world. Naledi is older, settled, and carrying a life built from decades of choices. Some feelings arrive quietly. Some loves arrive at the worst possible time. And sometimes walking away is the most painful act of love there is. A year after heartbreak forced them apart, both women are trying to move forward. Aya has built a new life in a different city. Naledi is watching her marriage come to an end. Distance was supposed to make everything easier. Instead, it only taught them that some people never truly leave you. A story about longing, healing, family, sacrifice, and the impossible question of what happens when the right person arrives at the wrong time.

The chaos is unleashing. And once you enter the shadows, there is no looking for the exit. 🌑✨

She came to Madrid to find herself. She never expected to find him. To the world, Jude Bellingham was everything they wanted him to be: talented, admired, and impossible to ignore. But to her, he was just the stranger who ruined her perfect photograph. She didn't care about his fame. She didn't care about the attention that followed him everywhere. And maybe that was exactly why he couldn't stop thinking about her. Two people. One city. A story neither of them saw coming. A Moment in Madrid.

DUSK Jin Vael has always wanted one thing-freedom. An orphan with no family and no ambitions beyond living a quiet life, he avoids attention, expectations, and the exhausting weight of other people. His only escape is photography, capturing moments that most of the world never notices. Under the anonymous name Dusk, he enters a photography competition for one simple reason: prize money. He never expects that decision to change his life. Sophia Moretti, the daughter of the powerful head of Meridian Group, has spent her entire life protected behind invisible walls. Surrounded by bodyguards and trapped by her family's influence, she dreams of nothing more than restoring art at Arden House Gallery and living an ordinary life. When Jin's photographs arrive at the gallery, their paths begin to cross. What starts as a professional relationship slowly becomes something neither of them expects. But in the shadows, another game is already unfolding.
