Between Him And You

Inspired by Season 7 of Love Islanda USA contestants, Olandria and Nic. She was a girl. And he was a boy. Can I make it anymore obvious? He was a basketball player. And she was a straight-A student. What more can I say? A lot. In her senior year of high school, Olandria is ripped from everything she knows in Decatur, Alabama, and forced to start over in Jacksonville, Florida. Her goal for the school year is simple: avoid the drama and graduate quietly. But that plan unravels the moment she meets Nic-the school jokester and star point guard with a clingy girlfriend (situationship?). When she starts her own tutoring business, Nic becomes her first client, and she discovers there's more behind his cheeky smile and wayward ways. He might even be...wait....no. This is not the plan. Will she shut down the budding romance to keep her promise of staying under the radar, or will she betray her better judgment and fall for the school jokester? Perhaps the oldest daughter might finally choose herself.

It's been a month since the villa. Olandria is still struggling to adjust to her new world- one filled with flashing lights, headlines, and expectations. Anxiety, stress, and doubt have become her constant companions. She and Nic have promised to take things slow- very slow. Like they're falling for each other all over again. But in a world fueled by fame and money, can their love really survive?

Nic had her backed against the wall without meaning to, every inch between them a battlefield. His hands flexed uselessly at his sides, wanting-needing-to touch, but not daring. The closeness was a slow burn, the kind that took him apart molecule by molecule. She tilted her chin up, eyes searching his, and he thought, if she leans in even a fraction, I'm gone. ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ ✿ Olandria came to Love Island for exactly what the name promised - love. The villa is sun-soaked and electric, full of new faces and endless possibility. And then there's Nic: quiet confidence, steady charm, and a gaze that feels just a little too knowing. Every challenge, laugh, and stolen glance adds another layer to the pull between them. In a place where nothing stays simple for long, Olandria must navigate the sparks, the first impressions that won't fade, and the question that drives every Islander: who is worth the risk?

Nic and Olandria decided to go back to the villa as a couple. Will they let themselves free fall into each other?

Our favorite couple from love island season 7. Only this time in an alternate universe where Nic is a famous F1 racer and Olandria is a female mechanic who's worked her way up from small town Alabama to chase her dreams. With a protective streak a mile wide will Olandria let class clown, playboy Nic into her heart, mind and soul? That would be a yes if Nic has anything to say about it. (Also on A03)

Butterflies in the stomach is what happens when you have a nervous feeling in your stomach. And coming into Love Island, this is what I wanted, I wanted this feeling when a boy walks into the villa. But what about when I just have to spend my Summer of Love with my ex fling or ex girlfriend, I don't really know what to call her. Did I get that? Well that would just spoil all of this. But all I can say was it was a Bad Idea Right? coming onto this show. Yes, I know that he's my ex But can't two people reconnect? I only see him as a friend The biggest lie I ever said Oh, yes, I know that he's my ex But can't two people reconnect? I only see him as a friend I just tripped and fell into his bed Now I'm gettin' in the car, wreckin' all my plans I know I should stop, but I can't And I told my friends I was asleep But I never said where or in whose sheets And I pull up to your place on the second floor And you're standing, smiling at the door And I'm sure I've seen much hotter men But I really can't remember when

After the cameras stopped rolling, the real story began. Nic and Olandria didn't win the show-but they found something deeper: a spark that couldn't be edited out. Now, reunited outside the villa, the two fan-favorites are finally exploring what the world kept hinting at... if they're brave enough to choose each other. But not everyone is rooting for their happiness. As old flames stir online drama and unexpected truths from the past come to light, Nic and Olandria must navigate public pressure, personal insecurities, and what it really means to love beyond the spotlight. Told over six steamy, heartfelt chapters-with appearances by real-life besties Ace & Chelley-this story dives into vulnerability, healing, and the kind of love that finds you when you're finally ready.

They didn't win the prize money. But they walked away with something far more dangerous: a real relationship in a fake reality world. Olandria thought the hardest part was surviving the villa. Turns out, it was surviving the spotlight. Now that the cameras are gone, the hate is louder, the headlines are messier, and the love? It's tested every single day. He's the white boy the internet swears would never choose a girl like her. She's the Black woman fighting to exist without defending her worth. But what they have isn't up for debate. Not after the way he protects her. Not after the way she opens up only for him. Not after all the podcasts, fan edits, betrayals, and backlash. This isn't a fairytale. This is fame, love, racism, and real loyalty wrapped in one messy, passionate, slow-burning storm. And through it all - it's still him. It's still her. Still You.

Just like the regular love island franchise. But with more twists and plots. And obviously not using real people.
