Summary
“I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.”
Todd Anderson is a quiet, poetry-loving barista who would rather disappear into the background than write corny messages on paper cups. But when Neil Perry strolls into Starbucks with a radiant grin and orders the same drink every morning, something shifts.
What starts as an impulsive line of T.S. Eliot turns into a daily ritual of handwritten quotes and shy smiles exchanged over steamed milk and espresso shots. As the notes grow bolder and the days grow colder, Todd starts to wonder if the boy with the caramel macchiato might be reading between the lines.

Summary
“Come on,” Neil coaxed, bouncing on his heels. “No one’s watching.”
“You’re watching.”
“I’m not a ‘one’. I’m a Neil.”
──────────────────
Todd’s never danced before—not really—but Neil’s grinning at him like it’s the most natural thing in the world, like their tiny dorm room could be a ballroom if they wanted it to be. There’s a scratchy jazz record spinning on Neil’s old player, the lights are low, and the world outside might as well not exist.Neil offers his hand. Todd takes it.

Summary
It starts with a poem and a proposal on a rainy evening.
They can’t get married. Not legally. But they can stand beneath the trees with the rest of the Dead Poets circling them like constellations, and Mr Keating in the front row wiping his eyes unsubtly.
Later, there’s a kid. She has a bookshelf far too big for her room and insists her dads fell in love because of poetry, which is technically true.
This is a story about love that doesn’t need paperwork to be real — just a porch light left on, a cat named Walt Whitman, and forever promised over cups of tea.

Summary
After getting gently rejected by Chris, Knox Overstreet is heartbroken, dramatic, and writing poetry that makes even Meeks cringe. Enter Charlie Dalton: chaotic, charming, and far too amused.
To cheer Knox up (and maybe just a little for his own entertainment), Charlie offers to teach him how to flirt—purely educational, obviously. Knox agrees. Because what could go wrong?
Just a little eye contact. A few compliments. Maybe a practice kiss or two.
Totally normal best friend stuff.
…Right?Or, Knox gets “romance training” from Charlie and slowly realises the person he's been falling for has been standing way too close this whole time.

Summary
Dear T.A.,
Your voice kept me company last night. You made me cry, in the best way.
Please read Neruda next?
—Neil (the 8AM guy)As a soft-spoken college student with too many thoughts and too little confidence, Todd finds solace in the quiet hours of his anonymous late-night poetry radio show, Between the Lines. He never expects anyone to really listen—until someone does.
Neil Perry is everything Todd isn't: charismatic, popular, and the energetic host of Rise & Shine, the campus morning radio show that everyone adores. But when Neil stumbles across Between the Lines, he becomes captivated by the unseen poet who reads like he’s speaking straight from the heart.
Sticky notes begin to appear. Song dedications follow. And as the snow falls heavier outside, two voices begin to find each other through the static.
An Anderperry story about poetry, vulnerability, and falling in love with someone before you even know their name.

Summary
Richard Cameron is Senior Editor.
He drinks black coffee, colour-codes his inbox, and has never missed a deadline. His suits are sharp, his red pen sharper, and his patience? Nonexistent.Charlie Dalton is a literary menace.
He wears fox-patterned socks, drinks glittery coffee, and accidentally turned a YA mystery into a chaotic, necromancer-fueled sex cult drama. He’s also trending on TikTok. Again.When Dead Poet Publishing declares editorial war, Cameron gets assigned to fix the unfixable. What follows is a battle of wits, passive-aggressive margin notes, one very smug author, and a slow descent into something suspiciously like feelings.
It’s not a love story.
It’s a deadline.
(That’s what they’re telling themselves, anyway.)Series
