    Summary

    When Julie landed her position as a songwriter at the Hollywood Ghost Club, her boss offered to pull some strings to get her a discounted apartment nearby. He talked about the place’s excellent acoustics and how a bunch of his most talented souls enjoyed the atmosphere.

    Unfortunately, he did not mention the drafty windows.

    Or the faulty wiring.

    Or the ghost chilling in her fridge.

    His name is Luke, and her apartment used to be his before he died.

    Summary

    “Luke is like a house plant. Not very good at vocalizing what he needs, but you sure can tell when he’s not getting enough sunlight— or you’ve forgotten to water him.”
    “So you’re saying I should try hosing Luke down when he gets back…?” Julie asks slowly.
    “More like he just needs a healthy dose of love and attention—“ Alex starts.
    “From one person in particular!” Reggie adds.

    - OR-

    A jealous Luke doesn't know how to use his words to tell Julie what he needs-- luckily Alex and Reggie are fluent in Luke-speak and make sure Julie gives him the tlc he's been sorely lacking.

    Summary

    Carrie and Flynn have been broken up for an entire year now, and Flynn has sworn off dating indefinitely. As an act of solidarity, her best friends, Julie and Willie, make a 'no-dating' pact. But, because there's always a catch, the three friends agree that the pact is void if all three of them can find a date to the Halloween ball...
    And Willie would REALLY like a date to the Halloween ball - specifically with the new kid, Alex, who he gets closer to everyday.
    However, as Julie becomes more and more certain that Flynn still has feelings for Carrie - and that these feelings go both ways - she and Willie start plotting to get the girls to come to their senses and admit their feelings.
    But...what will Julie do about getting herself a date?

    *

    Inspired by the 'Shakespeare to teen rom-com' trend of the '90s and '00s - the plot is silly (but hopefully fun silly) and the miscommunication causes problems always (yay!)

    Summary

    Julie challenges Luke to write a love song on his own, and she writes one too. Since Juke content always provided engagement for the band, label had enough faith to pay for a duology of regency-inspired music videos telling a story of a couple—starring Julie and Luke, of course. They go through shooting the videos and the promo tour all while Julie has a huge crush on Luke but thinks he doesn’t feel the same way. (She’s wrong.)

    Summary

    Julie had always thought that, when it came down to it, her limitations would be her very own feelings, that maybe she would take a long time to feel ready. That turned out not to be the case. No, their limitations were different, and they came in various forms.

    Firstly, her family. It seemed like either her dad or Carlos were always home. That time slot she sometimes had during baseball practice? Became unpredictable. Dad had a more flexible work schedule now and chose to work from home until it was time to pick Carlos up. So no more empty house for Julie, at least not with enough consistency that they would risk it.

    Luke had moved out of his parents’ house into an apartment, which was great and would totally work in their favor, if he didn’t share it with the boys. One of them was also always home, or the three of them were out together for something band-related. They also couldn’t trust Reggie’s consistency to not be home when he said he wouldn’t.

    All of that was driving Julie insane. She just wanted a few hours alone with her boyfriend, in the privacy of one of their houses. Was that too much to ask?
