Summary
Jackie Taylor has always lived by the rules. Her life is measured in appearances and expectations. But when her parents invoke the final condition of her inheritance, marriage before thirty. She finds herself cornered.
Lottie Matthews calls it a Boston marriage. Jackie calls it impossible. And Natalie Scatorccio, sharp and defiant, calls it a joke. Yet appearances are everything, and survival has a way of making strange partnerships necessary.
What begins as an arrangement soon feels less like control and more like a test of it, and Jackie isn’t sure whether she’s negotiating her future or surrendering it.
Or
Jackie Taylor needs a wife before thirty. Natalie Scatorccio needs stability. But appearances can bind tighter than vows.

Summary
Under the glow of the midway lights, Jackie and Melissa drift through the fair hand in hand, wrapped in a quiet bubble of warmth and wonder.

Summary
The Crescent Continuum is a cycle of interconnected stories that blur the line between romance and the supernatural.
At its center is the Crescent Theater, a long-abandoned movie palace where time bends, dreams bleed into waking life, and love is projected across realities like reels of film. Step inside, and the past, present, and possible futures all flicker to life: a dream of a waiting train station, a marquee that glows when it shouldn’t, a black-and-white film that casts Jackie Taylor and Natalie Scatorccio as lovers in another timeline.
But while the screen shows one story, Jackie and Melissa’s real life is unfolding — first dates, hallway glances, and the uncanny pull of a place that seems to know them better than they know themselves.
Each installment in the continuum adds another reel to the larger narrative: fate, choice, and the strange magic of a love powerful enough to stretch across timelines.
The Crescent doesn’t just show them who they were. It asks them who they’re willing to become.

Summary
In the fall of ’85, Nancy Wheeler was trying to convince herself that loving someone wasn’t like it was in the movies. That maybe, feeling your heart race or getting butterflies in your stomach was something made up, that everyone just pretended to feel that way, when in reality it was like what she felt with Steve Harrington: calm, comfortable, and safe. The way it was supposed to be.
But when Steve started working at the WSQK radio station and became friends with Robin Buckley, Nancy couldn’t understand why her cheeks burned when she saw her with her boyfriend, or why Robin always seemed to be the complete opposite of how Steve described her whenever she was around. In the middle of all these mixed feelings, her confusion about the girl only grew stronger when she heard Robin calling her “boring Barbie” at Steve’s Halloween party.Bookmarked by jonesingjay

Summary
Robin lay in the dark in Steve Harrington’s bed, the sheets tangled between her thighs, the air still thick with their perfume and sweat. Moonlight filtered faintly through the blinds, just enough to let her see the contours of Steve’s face as he leaned over her. His eyes almost glowed in the dimness, gentleness mixed with raw desire, making Robin’s stomach clench.
Steve’s fingers slowly traced her cheek, then slid down her neck where her pulse hammered wildly. He leaned in, their lips brushing at first, soft, testing. But Robin didn’t want testingBookmarked by jonesingjay

Summary
Steve's love for Robin is not quiet. Neither is hers. The two are a chaotic mix of sarcasm, gentle touches, late-nights talks, shared, trauma, and love. As the two navigate life as adults they must also look within themselves and navigate the new revelations and changes that result simply from growing up.
