Control and structure are the only ways Katherine 'Kat' Davis knows to balance her public and personal lives. A beloved actress-turned-law student, the beautiful twenty-four-year-old has mastered self-preservation by avoiding the past and those connected to her late mother. Returning from a summer in Europe, Katherine is determined to protect her happiness, no matter what it takes. Then comes Ty Casini-Díaz, and with his permanent move to New York, Kat's life is suddenly out of balance again. They've known each other since childhood and have been inseparable ever since. The twenty-four-year-old scion, battling to stay clean, has zero interest in letting go of the past. Enter his brother, Jace Casini, who knows everything about Kat: a horror actress, law student at Columbia, star of her family's sitcom, daughter of a writer and a lawyer, and longtime friend of the Casini-Harris family.

Astrid, fresh out of college and with a diploma still warm in her hands, is ready to take on the world. She's landed a coveted internship at a top-tier tech company, a stepping stone on her path to building her own empire. But between her ambitious dreams and the reality of office life-complete with quirky colleagues, late-night brainstorming sessions, and a surprisingly charming (and infuriating) rival-Astrid's post-grad plan takes a few unexpected detours. Navigating the highs and lows of her new career, she discovers that building a life is a lot like building a business: it requires passion, a little bit of luck, and a whole lot of heart. This isn't just a story about a girl with big dreams; it's a hilarious and heartwarming tale about friendship, love, and the messy, beautiful journey of figuring out who you're meant to be. ~FS💋 (Just a teenager struggling to make her dreams come true) 1 in fire and ice as at 1st January 2026 1 in Nigerian writer as at 1st January 2026

Julian Vane and Clara Reed have been at war since orientation. He thinks her teaching style is "unstructured chaos"; she thinks his tie is tied too tight for his own good. They are locked in a ruthless battle for the "Highest Class Average" trophy, but they've overlooked one thing: their students. Tired of the bickering, the junior class starts a viral "ship" campaign. From "accidental" lunchtime encounters to fan-fiction in the school newspaper, the kids are determined to turn their teachers' rivalry into a romance. Julian and Clara are horrified-until they realize that pretending to date might be the only way to get the students to actually focus on their exams. But when the fake smiles start feeling real, the lesson plan goes out the window. ONC 2026 ENTRY 🍁PROMPT 55🌸 ROUND 1 AND 2 QUALIFIER THANK YOU JESUS

In introspect, Maya should have seen it coming, she spent every profound moment of her adolescence with Louis, talking about everything and nothing thus blooming the inevitable falling for your bestfriend saga. It's a narrative that seems written in the stars, almost unavoidable, ingrained. An age old theory that platonic friendships can not exist between two best friends of the opposite sex because one of them is bound to fall for the other.
