Summary
This story will take place after the move to California. My plan is to develop this into a multi-chapter story spanning several years, at least five, possibly longer. I want to delve into the lives of all the significant characters, examining both their relationships with one another and their own personal joys and demons. I plan to base my story on parts of a song I believe can be interpreted in many directions. Ultimately, it will show how these people learn to navigate all the ups and downs life throws at you and still ultimately be led by forgiveness and love. Always, they are family. Blood relation or not. I'll put the lyrics to the song at the beginning of the first chapter.

Summary
New York, 1990s. Two theater dynasties, locked in rivalry for decades: the Sheffields, proud keepers of classical productions, and the Fines, bold innovators of modern stage entertainment. The feud is legendary, the animosity unshakable.
Francine “Fran” Joy Fine, 24, is the rising star of her family’s company—loud, flamboyant, endlessly charming. Maxwell Sheffield, 31, is the polished, brooding heir to the Sheffield legacy, sworn to protect tradition at any cost.
They should hate each other. They should stay apart. But when a chance encounter at a Broadway gala sparks more than just witty banter, Fran and Maxwell find themselves drawn into a dangerous romance. Behind closed doors, their passion burns brighter than the stage lights—while in the spotlight, their families wage war.
Will their love survive the feud that’s defined their lives, or will history repeat itself in tragedy?

Summary
Set during and after the events of 4x15, The Nose Knows.
Despite Mr. Sheffield taking back the thing in 4x01, she always thought that he still had feelings for her, but was too scared of ruining things between them. That thought alone was what stopped her from getting on a boat when his brother Nigel proposed in 4x08. In fact, just several months prior, he had declared his love for her in his will (and over a department store loudspeaker). But when Fran wakes up on the couch to find him passionately kissing another woman, she realises that maybe she doesn’t mean that much to him at all…
