Twelve months after the night that shattered everything in Barcelona, Lena Santiago is still learning how to live again (2018). The scars from the tour-the heartbreak, the silence, the unraveling-haven't vanished, but they've faded just enough for her to breathe. She's finished her first solo tour, released an album born of pain and hope, and begun to carve out a life that's hers alone. One not defined by Stefani Germanotta.
But healing isn't linear, and when Stefani reappears-with a ring on her finger and too much left unsaid-Lena is forced to face everything she thought she left behind. The love that nearly destroyed her. The woman she never stopped writing songs about. And the question she's never been able to answer: Can love survive the wreckage?

between sets and silence
A slow-burn sapphic romance set behind the velvet curtain of fame, rivalry, and everything unsaid. When Elena joins the world tour of one of the biggest bands on the planet, she expects chaos - long nights, loud crowds, maybe a scandal or two. What she doesn't expect is her. Amelia Adams. The lead singer with eyes like storm clouds and a reputation sharp enough to draw blood. Cold, untouchable, and impossible to ignore. Their history is complicated. Their chemistry? Undeniable. What begins as icy tension backstage starts to unravel into something far messier - glances that linger too long, conversations that say too little, and a constant push-pull they can't seem to escape. But under the glow of stage lights and the silence between songs, something starts to burn. And no one is ready for what happens when the line between enemies and something else finally blurs. Love is louder after the encore. But only if they're brave enough to listen.Complete

We Are Forever (Bradga)
This is a slightly different story that will have about 5 chapters. A recent story made me think of an old book. It was unfortunately deleted a few years ago but I loved it. While this story bears no resemblance to it and honestly turned out quite different than I initially wanted, you hopefully still like it. Bradley and Stefani were married and have a child. Life has separated them and made them strangers. Even though they are separated, they keep finding their way back to each other, but that has to stop. What should usually be better for both of them turns out to be an even bigger mistake and only then do they both realize that the only way to live is to have each other. ⚠️ It's a bit dramatic sometimes and there's light mention of self-harm and also sexual abuse, so for all a trigger warning ⚠️ This story is pure fictionComplete

Scars in our Stars
"We all carry stars, But they don't dim our Stars - They only make us shine differently." They met not at the beginning, but somewhere in the quiet middle- Ariana, a girl who buried herself in books and past regrets, and Ethan, a boy drowning beneath the weight of choices he stopped trying to explain. In a world of fleeting nights, untold truths, and whispered breakdowns, their lives stitched together in the corridors of a college far from home. With hearts bruised by grief and hands still trembling from things they couldn't undo, they found solace in late-night rooftops, music that spoke louder than words, and a friendship no one saw coming. But life isn't gentle. Sophie's death shattered them. Secrets snapped their bonds. And love-when it came-was tangled in pain. Scars in Our Stars is a raw and unfiltered story of young adults trying to make sense of life, love, loss, and themselves. It's about the guilt we carry, the friends who become family, the choices that haunt us, and the lavender feathers we leave behind. Because sometimes, the deepest scars... are the ones we share beneath the stars. ~Zephyra NoxComplete
