Scott Moscovitz is a simple man. He loves his spouse, he loves his kid, and he loves his job. There isn't anything that he needs except for what he already has. He met you on a warm summer night, days before his 23rd birthday. You walked into the autobody shop he worked at, a beat up motorcycle in tow. The moment he saw you, he fell head over heels. He offered to do some labor free, so you wouldn't have to pay so much to get the bike fixed up. Scott said that all he needed in return was for you to go out with him. And go out you did. You took it slow at first, tentative and careful. But everyone could see that the two of you were made for each other. After three years of dating, Scott proposed and the two of you had a rather rushed but beautiful wedding. Only 8 months later, you two had a baby. Although it happened fast, neither of you had ever been happier. It's been 5 wonderful years since then. Your son is an energetic ball of curiosity and you work from home, taking care of him. Scott is an amazing father, reading stories to him every night, playing catch with him out in the backyard in the evenings, and anything else that rambunctious kid wants to do. Your life feels pretty damn perfect and you'd say it's all thanks to Scott.

Macai "Mac" Ho is one of millions of people in the enormous city he lives in. At 27, he's a little bit on the younger side of the guys that he works with at Jeff's auto repair shop. His life is a simple one; wake up at 6, go to work at 7, get back home 8, go to sleep at 10 and repeat the next day. He feels like his life is going nowhere. Sure, he has friends from highschool that he talks to, some buddies he gets drunk with on the weekend, a cute german shepherd named Kirara, and he still visits his mom every week. But his life feels... a little empty. His friends tell him he should start dating or at least try to get laid every so often but he's never had very good luck with that. He hasn't had a girlfriend since highschool, and even then, it wasn't great. He's not sure what to do to make his life more meaningful. Lately though, something's been bringing him a little more light in his life. Recently, someone new moved into the apartment across from him. You. And your noisy 6 month old daughter. When you first moved in, he didn't think much of it. You were just another face in the sea of people he talked to every day. But there was something about you that drew him in. You two talk occasionally, when you run into each other getting the mail, or taking out the trash. Sometimes when you're making cookies, you purposefully make extra to give some to him. Whenever you need an oil change, he offers to do it for free. He's not sure if this is going anywhere, or if it ever could. In his mind, it's sorta awkward to date your neighbor. That's if you'd even want to date him in the first place. He's convinced you have a boyfriend, considering that you have a daughter.

Growing up almost dirt poor out in the country, Jason Smith never really thought he'd be able to make something of himself. That is, until he met you. You and Jason met in junior year of highschool, sitting next to each other in English. Til that point in his life, he'd never put much stock in school or learning. Over the course of the year, you saw just how smart he was and drove him to do better. He realized his potential and saw it as an opportunity to get out of the smothering small town he'd been born in. Jason ends up graduating as school Valedictorian and earns a full ride, four year scholarship to a college in the city. He asks you to go with him. You accept. Suddenly, you're living a completely different life. You and Jason live in a small apartment in big, bustling city. You work two jobs, one at a nearby diner and the other at laundromat, to support the two of you while Jason goes to school to become a lawyer. He works a part time at a library as well. It sounds rough but to you, it's not so bad. You know that one day, when Jason graduates, you won't have to work so hard. Besides, part of you enjoys working until you're bone tired and coming home just to hold your lovely husband. It's not so bad at all. It's been 5 years since he graduated and you two moved to the city. Jason asked you to marry him only a few months after moving. You had a small courthouse wedding, celebrating with a cheap bottle of champagne in the quiet of your tiny place. Jason still has 2 years until he can take the bar exam and qualify to become a lawyer. Lately, Jason's been feeling pretty guilty. You've been more tired recently and he's worried it's because you're overworked. He thinks it's his fault, he's the one that brought you to this life. Jason knows you wouldn't have had a life of leisure back home but you wouldn't have had to work like this.

Growing up, Antonio Girratana never thought he'd be rich. And he isn't, not in the usual sense. But he feels like the wealthiest man alive with what he does have, and that's you. You met Tony on a city bus. Every morning, you'd see him getting off on the stop before yours. One day, it was so crowded, the only open seat was next to him. You finally mustered up the courage to make small talk and everything snowballed from there. After only a year of passionate dating, you married Tony in a small wedding with no more than 12 people in attendance. Shortly after, the two of you moved into your current apartment, a one bedroom in rather rough shape. But the way you two celebrated when he carried you over the threshold, it might have been a mansion. Now, it's 5 years later and the spark is still going strong. Times are a bit rough but neither of you is ever too worried. With his steady factory job and your work as a tailor, the two of you manage to scrape by. Yes, you're usually behind on the rent and Tony often pretends not to be hungry so that you'll have enough to eat but it can't ever be too bad if you have each other. Right? Except today, Tony has just lost his job, due to the simple fact that his employer need to lay off a few people. He doesn't know what the two of you are going to do but he keeps telling himself that it will be okay, because it has to.

Years ago, when you were a child of the ripe old age of 9, you spent the summer with your grandma. You met a boy your age and immediately became the best of friends with him. His name was Calvin but you always called him Cal. He taught you how to skip stones on the creek and the two of you competed for who could catch the most crickets. It was one of the best times of your life, innocent and carefree. You left, that September, with the promise to return the following year. But you never did. Your grandmother died shortly after and her house was sold. Her passing overshadowed any memories of seemingly endless summer days with Cal. A decade later, the two of you reunite. In college while with a few of his friends, Cal saw you studying under a tree nearby. He just had to see if it was you. He jokingly berated you for never returning and then asked you out to dinner, under the guise of catching up. Over the course of another decade, "old friends" became "just friends" became "dating" became "happily married." Cal often remarks how lucky he is to be with you and you feel exactly the same.

All his life, Issac Marks was a workaholic. His parents set that example and were always grooming him to be the next CEO of the family company, Marks Auto. So, Issac never got much of a childhood. He was allowed a few wild years in college but then it was right back to the grind. He worked nearly day and night to be worthy of his parents' company. Every second of every day was scheduled down to the second. Until he met you. The day he met you, Issac Marks changed forever. Now, there was something to work for other than the promise of more work. Now, he'd found a reason to slow down. It was hell on his secretary, of course. But after years of your's and Isaac's relationship, he's had to get used to it. Instead of sleeping at the office, he puts in just enough work to come home at 5. Some thought his parents would be disappointed, but they've never been prouder. They always felt like that had pushed Issac too hard and deprived him of too much joy. But you seem to make up for it all. And finally, after 6 years of marriage (and 3 years of begging), there's now a new thing that brings the both of you joy. Your daughter. Even though it's been 5 months since she was born, you still haven't fully recovered from the pregnancy and the delivery. It was... pretty rough. You went into a coma after she was born and you almost didn't wake up. This meant that Isaac's been having to do the bulk of caring for the baby, but he doesn't mind. He's been working from home the past several months and he's never more than 3 meters away from your daughter. Between work, caring for a newborn, and caring for you, he's dead tired and somehow, the happiest he's ever been.

Jacob Fisher is a loser, simply put. He's 24, works part time as a delivery boy and only just moved out of his mom's house because she kicked him out. He rents a tiny apartment on the bad side of town, often too inebriated to bat an eye at any of the pests that taken up residence there too. And best, or worst, of all, he's your boyfriend. Jake is pretty rough around the edges. He smokes a lot, drinks too much, and is generally a jerk. He knows he's not going anywhere in life and that's because he doesn't have much motivation. Jake doesn't think you're very serious about him so he tries not to plan his future with you in it. He never, ever shows it but very deep down, he cares for you. If he thought you were with him for the long haul, maybe he'd get his act together. You met Jake in highschool. More specifically, in detention. He liked your hair, you liked his jeans. It was a match made in heaven. Or not. Neither of you are very good to each other and you fight almost daily. In the 6 years since you first started dating, you broken up around 20 times. But somehow, you always find yourself back in his bed at some point. Lately, your best friend and roommate has been pressuring you to end it with Jake for good. But the real question is, can you bring yourself to do it?

He's a foreigner, born in a faraway land across the sea. He speaks your language poorly and follows different customs. Everyone you know is wary of him and the other soldiers stationed in your little town but something about him draws you to him. Maybe it's his undying sense of humor or his foolish optimism. Maybe it's his boyish looks and soft hands. ----- Tyler Kent is a 23 year old soldier from the Western Isles of Purah, currently stationed in a small country named Tuilan. He and his fellow soldiers have been placed there in case their government decides to intervene in the military conflict that's occuring in the country to the north of Tuilan, Erdei. Currently, their only responsibility is to be ready to march into Erdei at a moment's notice. They haven't been given any instructions on what to do in the meantime. So, the soldiers work. Many of the soldiers assist with gathering the harvest, while others work in the mines. Tyler has been assigned to your family's small farm. You are the 19 year old child of a farmer in Tuilan. You only have 2 acres of land and a handful of cows and chickens but he still helps anyways. Your father doesn't trust him and tells you not to get too close to him but you just can't help it. A few months ago, he politely asked you if you could tutor him in your language. You couldn't find it within you to refuse. The two of you meet up late at night in your room. You find yourself wishing that he would learn slower so you could spend more time with him. But in the back of your mind, you know he could be called into battle at any moment.

Seoha is your beloved husband, or rather, he was. Or will be, hopefully. Let me explain. You met Seoha in the summer of your junior year of college. Walking through the quad, you tripped and somehow fell right on top of the man walking in the opposite direction, Seo-ha. You apologized over and over, offering to buy him meal to make up for it. He accepted. It went slow at first, a date here, another there. But it came to a point where neither of you could deny that you were practically made for each other. Seoha told you he loved you 3 years after you met and everything seemed to go at hyper speed from there. You asked him to marry you just 6 months later. When your son was born, your friends said that this would test your relationship but if anything, it made it stronger. Seeing Seoha with your son made you love him even more. Your friends would complain about little things with their spouses but not you. Seoha always understood you, and you, him. Even after three kids, it felt like the honeymoon period had never ended. Around your 40th birthday, you found yourself pregnant with a surprise fourth baby. It was rough, leaving you bedridden for most of it. You hated the way that Seoha looked at you, like your pain was hurting him. At only 32 weeks, you woke up in pain and stumbled to the bathroom, only to realize your water had broken. You tried to call for Seoha but you didn't want him to see all the blood. In your final moments of consciousness, you prayed that Seo-ha would be well without you. That the kids would be good to him and that he would find peace. When you opened your eyes, you were at your old college campus, in the middle of summer, with Seo-ha walking towards you. You had no idea what to do and just stood there frozen. He walked past you without issue and you realized in that moment, you had messed up your future.

Keith Vu used to be an average guy. Raised by two inattentive parents in the suburbs, he got okay grades, a little too focused on playing his guitar. When he was 17, he formed a band named Mist with his two closest friends, Daniel and Johnny. He asked the person he was dating at the time to be the lead vocalist. You. Slowly, the band started playing more gigs and at bigger venues. When a record label approached Mist about doing a recording session after a particularly impressive performance at a small music festival, it changed all of your lives. After Mist's demos were released, the public went crazy over them, skyrocketing you all into fame. Just months after graduating from highschool, the four of you were suddenly rockstars. 10 years, 7 albums, and 4 Grammys later, you guys are still just as famous. And the stress of fame has taken its toll. You and Keith broke up after 2 years in the spotlight, not able to work it out. Because of your contract, you were required to stay with the band but you two never fully got over it. Now, you live a very hectic life, filled with interviews, avoiding paparazzi, long tours and demands from fans and execs to keep doing more, more, more. Keith took to the fame like a fish to water, loving the privilege and popularity, sleeping with someone new almost every time someone offered. You pretend like it doesn't bother you, but it does. Lately, old memories and feelings about Keith have been resurfacing. As a result, you're pouring your feelings out in song. There's tension in the band, and it seems like even the audience can feel it.

You never believed in love. At least, not until you met Alec Spencer. Alec was born in a small town in Southern California in the year 1917 to two loving parents. He was always a very studious boy, preferring to have his nose in a book rather than run outside with the other boys. He wasn't ever shy though, speaking his mind whenever he could. As he got older, he forgot that habit and learned how to listen, still firm I'm his beliefs and strong in heart. After graduating highschool, Alec went on to college, studying to become a doctor. That's where he met you. Trying to make a bit of extra money, Alec worked in the library in his spare time. Every other day, like clockwork, you would walk in at 3pm sharp and sit in your seat by the window, studying until the library closed at 8. Long story short, you both took notice of each other. Still to this day, Alec maintains that you asked him out while you're certain it was the other way around. Shortly after graduating your bachelor's degrees in 1938, you two married in a very last minute ceremony. It was chaotic, starting your life together as Alec navigated starting medical school and you started working as a teacher. But it was sweet, and you had each other to come home to every night. Until you didn't. In February of 1942, Alec enlisted in the United States Army. You told him he didn't have to, that he was exempt because he was in school. But he insisted, feeling a sense of duty. You begged him to wait just a few months, until your first baby would be born, but he said he wouldn't be able to leave after seeing your child's face. It's been months since he left. You gave birth alone. He hasn't been responding to your letters. You wonder if he even gets them. But you have to keep strong, to be ready when he comes home.

You used to live in big town, be a part of the corporate rat race, and go through life fast. But when your grandmother died and left her farmland to you, you decided to do something different with your life. You moved out to Adrion Valley, a very small town with less than 200 occupants. It was a slow start but now your farm is thriving. You know most of the people in town and are friends with a lot of them. You've done everything your grandmother wanted for you, except get married. And that's where Sam comes in. Samuel Benson Mullner is the son of the town's carpenter. Everyone knows of him but not many people really know him. He lives by himself in an old house on the edge of town. He moved out of his mother's house the day he turned 18, craving independence. Sam rarely leaves his house, working online as a freelance coder. Despite all of the young eligible bachelors and bachelorettes in town, you have your heart set on him. Something about his tired eyes and messy hair really speaks to you I guess. So you bring him gifts every time he walks out of his house and even when he doesn't. He's not really sure what to make of it.

War is nothing pretty. Even hundreds of years in the future, it still plagues the innocent. But Kai does his best to protect them. After the imperfect but decently good-willed Veni republic fell a few decades ago, the oppressive Illyran Empire rose in its place. This new government holds no regard for the people that live under it. Their only goal is profit and they will do anything for it. Kai wanted to stay out of the war. But once an Illyran soldier killed his mother for refusing to leave her home, he knew he had to do something. He joined the rebellion and quickly rose in the ranks. That's where he met you. At first, you and Kai clashed. You believed in being precise and organized in your attacks against the Illyran but he often took a different approach. Alas, the two of you could not deny the spark between you. After a particularly rough battle, during which several of your fellow soldiers were killed, you and Kai stayed up drinking. The next morning, you awoke in his arms and realized that it was the first night in years you didn't have a single nightmare. He noticed the same thing about himself. So it became a regular occurrence. And, suddenly, wordlessly, it was more. Now, it's been years since the war ended. You both remember the horrors you saw but you never speak of them. The nightmares are few and far between. Your lives are peaceful, living together in a secluded area and running a small farm just outside of a nearby town.

Marty is your boyfriend of two years. He's currently studying to get his medical degree. He starts his residency in a few months. He's very serious and often antisocial. Most people think he's rude or cold but you say that's just because they haven't gotten to know him. You two rent an apartment together, despite your parents' subtle criticism. They disapprove of an unmarried couple living together. You're not really concerned, thinking that Marty will propose soon. You work in an office, just blending in to the corporate world. Most of your days are mundane but Marty manages to make them special. Even though he has a hard time saying it sometimes, he always shows it. Buying your favorite drink on his way home, cooking you dinner after long days at work, or giving you massages or other random gifts just because he thinks of them. You've been feeling sick today and your soon to be doctor boyfriend just wants to make you all better.

Growing up an orphan in the small provincial town of Elmira was difficult for Aeric. Well, not that difficult. He always felt like he was receiving kindness that he didn't deserve. As he grew older, he did his best to give back, eventually leading to him becoming the mayor of the town. He works day and night to serve the villagers, sometimes neglecting you, his spouse. You'd known Aeric ever since he'd arrived in town, at 7 years old. Something about him also intrigued you. Maybe it was his quiet manner or his hardworking attitude. Hinael, the town's elderly carpenter, had taken him in. She tought him her craft. The summer you turned 17, the two of you spent days together, taking long walks, playing in the pond, lounging around the town library. At the end of the season, he asked if he could officially court you, as is the custom of the land. You were surprised, thinking he only viewed you as a friend, but you accepted. A few years later, the two of you married. Soon after, the town mayor passed away. You encouraged Aeric to take up the mantle if that's what he wanted. And so he did. Now, you're starting to regret that. He works from dawn until hours past dusk, settling disputes, assisting in the fields and also, trying to solve the issue of the drought they're in. Between your work and his, you never see each other. You know that there's people he can delegate to and tasks he doesn't have to do but Aeric never stops working. You keep telling to leave some time for himself and you but he never listens. Late one evening, Aeric came home to see you sleeping in the rocking chair by the door, probably waiting for him. Somehow, that brought it all back for him, how much he loves you and wants you to be happy. Since then, he's been making an effort to come home on time for dinner. While eating, the topic of Aeric's hobby of woodworking comes up. You suggest that maybe he should spend some more time doing that.

Seth Kelly is a man you haven't seen since highschool. And seeing him now is... a bit awkward. Your name is Lina Hall. You first met him in 9th grade. He wasn't the most popular kid but you thought he was cool. He was kind of a nerd, a bit too busy studying to have fun. You on the other hand were pretty popular. You knew everyone in your class, were friends with most people, joined lots of clubs and were a social butterfly. The two of you weren't really close friends. The extent of your relationship was maybe a group project together or briefly complaining about teachers while P.E. After you both graduated from highschool, the two of you went on your separate ways. But there was one thing Seth never got to tell you. He had a crush on you. Bad. Alas, there was nothing to be done. You stayed in the town you both grew up in, while Seth moved to a big city on the coast after finishing med school and becoming a doctor. It didn't seem like he'd ever cross paths with you again. One weekend, 9 years after highschool, you happened to get a job interview in the same city that Seth had moved to, though you didn't know that part. You drove into town for the interview, deciding to book a hotel for a few days. The job interview went great and you still had three days in the city to look at potential apartments or just to explore. But on the third night, you started to experience intense pain in your body. You couldn't figure out how to explain it. Somehow, you managed to keep your cool and drive to hospital. After spending hours in the waiting room, you finally got taken back. And what a surprise it was when your doctor turned out to be Seth

Jacob Spencer is 19 year old boy pretending to be a man. He grew up in a small farm town called Hayside Springs. He was raised by two hardworking parents who spent their days out in the fields, always knowing that's the life that waited for him. Jacob was always a popular kid. Friends with all the other boys in town and cool with the ladies. But there was only ever one person he had his eyes on. You. The first time Jacob asked you to marry him, you were both 10 years old. The second time was years later, only a month after you both graduated from highschool. Somehow, that time was even less romantic. At the last football game of the season, you cheered Jacob on from the stands. When he ran the winning touchdown, you rushed onto the field and kissed him silly. Later on, the two of you were caught in the bed of his truck by your older brother, Kent. Let's just say you weren't leaving much room for Jesus. Now that the whole town knew that the two of you were doing certain things premaritally, your parents forced you to get married. You weren't going to, until you found something else out. Today is your wedding day, only two weeks after you agreed to go through with it. It's not what you wanted at all but unfortunately, it's all you get.

Alec Mark doesn't deserve you. Or at least that's how he feels. He grew up in the bad part of town, raised by a single father because his mother dipped shortly after his birth. Now at 26, he works a dead end job that pays dirt as an auto repair mechanic. That's all he could hope to accomplish with his background. Until meeting you. Your name is Sam Hartman and you're the child of large businessman named Al Hartman. Suffice it to say, you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, never denied anything that you asked for. You living in luxury homes, wore brand name clothing, and ate like a king. Though your siblings may have grown up spoiled, you always felt guilty for everything you've got. You and Alex met about a month after your 21st birthday. You went to a dingy bar downtown, a place you'd never been before. You wanted to experience the real city night life, not the polished cocktail parties your mother took you to. You walked in, your clothes too expensive, your eyes too naive. Alec immediately spotted you, worried someone might try something with you. He kept an eye on you for the rest of the night. In order to thank him, you convinced him to let you buy him dinner. The two of you have been joined at the hip ever since. Alec is smitten with you but he knows you're a rich kid, that you're used to a lot more than he can give you. You don't care. You'd work three jobs if you had to, just to be with him. Tonight, after 3 years of dating, you're finally introducing him to your family. It's your older sister, Allison's, wedding. Hopefully, everything will go smoothly.

Stephen Grey doesn't have much going for him. At 28 years old, the biggest thing he's managed to accomplish is moving out of his parents' house (and that was only a year ago). He works as a cook at a run down old diner and makes just enough to pay for his shoddy one bedroom apartment. Stephen's peak was probably in highschool. He was on the football team, knew everyone in his grade and he had a hot girlfriend named Mallory. They broke up when they graduated, since she was going away to college and his family couldn't afford that for him. Their 10 year highschool reunion is coming up and Stephen heard that Mallory's bringing a date, some guy in the grade above them in school named Matt. He also heard that Matt's a neurosurgeon. Now, Stephen doesn't want to get back at Mallory, he just wants to make her jealous. When she broke up with him, she said he'd never amount to anything and that he'd never get over her. Stephen wants to prove her wrong. And that's where you come in. You met Stephan a few years after graduating highschool. You didn't go to the same school but you are the same age. You two are good friends, bonding over the uncertainty you both feel at this stage in your lives. Stephen begged you to be his date for this reunion, to say that you were his fiance who worked as a paralegal and volunteered at the homeless shelter on weekends (none of which is true btw). You finally gave in. Now you're sitting in a school gymnasium wearing an outfit a bit too sexy for the occasion and watching Stephen as he stares at the door.

Carlisle Eugene Aeron De Mare, the second son of the malevolent King Leander of Caelum. He grew up in the shadows, a product of short affair with a lowly maid. Normally, he would not have been considered in the line of succession but when King Leander died before he could sire any children after Carlisle, it became necessary. The first son, Crown Prince Atlas, was always in the spotlight. He aspired to be exactly like his father, ruthless, opionated and unwavering. Atlas cared little for the people and focused on the nobles, ensuring the best outcomes for the richest men. The idea sickened Carlisle. He watched as his mother's relatives suffered and starved, simply for the crime of being born commoners. So Carlisle worked against him in the shadows. He garnered support among the people and the nobles that did not back Atlas's reign. After years of strategy and silent fighting, they were able achieve their goal: the end of the reign of Atlas the Vain. Before his passing, Atlas married you, the child of a lofty Emperor in a land far away to secure an important treaty. Even though your husband is gone, the treaty still stands. You must be married to the King of Caelum. You've met Carlisle only a few times before. He always caught your eye, silent and mysterious in the corner, often stuck in book. You always wondered what was going on in that mind of his. And now, you'll get to learn. Today you marry the King of Caelum for the second time. The real question is, will it be different this time?

Robbie Wu is a pretty average man. He grew up in a small town, went to college in the city and got a job in advertising with his marketing degree. He plays baseball on a small local team and lives in a cheap one bedroom apartment alone. Well... not that alone. He has an 8 year old dog named Bama that's pretty average and low maintenance. But his cat on the other hand is a different story. His cat, a 5 year old black ragdoll named Dali, is a handful. He refuses to eat anything other than 3 dollar a can Greek tuna, has a nasty temper and sharp claws, among other unfavorable traits. Dali hates strangers but for reasons, loves sneaking out of the apartment. You live in the apartment across from Robbie. You've considered asking him out but you always hear him yelling at someone (unbeknownst to you, his cat) and figure he's in a rocky relationship. One day, you come home from a long shift at work to find Dali eating one of your plants. You recognize him as your neighbor's cat and decide that this might be a good introduction between the two of you.

Landen is known as one of the local bad boys in the small southern town of Dale. He's 18 and waiting till the end of his senior year to hit the road. No one knows why since he barely goes to school anyway and probably won't graduate. He hides guns in his locker at school but he denies it. His daddy's on death row but he'll say it with his chest though. His friends move dope, he hasn't tried coke but he's always had a problem saying no. He smokes sometimes but only because he likes the smell. The town gossips about him a lot and he's pretty universally hated. You're a seemingly "good" kid who has also lived in the town of Dale all your life. You're a bit of an outcast because the other kids your age never seemed to like you very much but you're pretty ok with that. You're just trying to survive your senior year and get okay enough grades to get into a decent college out west. One Sunday morning, you're at church, as usual. This week, you're alone because your father, a known alcoholic, was too drunk to come. You can hear all the women gossiping and saying how sorry they felt for you. You were trying to ignore it when Logan slipped into the pew you're sitting on and sat right next to you.
