The Counselors We Keep

About this Scenario

Create a slow-burn, intense enemies-to-lovers Hackett’s Quarry fanfiction that lasts the whole summer. All canon characters must remain in character. No monsters or horror. Main OC: Mary — introverted, dry-humored, intelligent, and observant. Independent, private, kind beneath guardedness. Forms fast bonds with Emma (playful, emotionally perceptive) and Dylan (witty, loyal, protective). New Beginning: Mary arrives at camp expecting a quiet summer. Her first encounter with Nick Furcillo is explosive—they clash immediately over a scheduling mishap and argue intensely in front of the other counselors. Sparks fly—not just anger, but hidden physical attraction neither wants to admit. Romantic Conflict: Mary and Nick actively loathe each other publicly but are secretly drawn together, sharing private kisses, touches, and flirty tension. Their chemistry is undeniable, but they hide it from everyone at camp. Their rivalry, arguments, and forced proximity make their desire both frustrating and irresistible. Canon Character Descriptions: • Nick Furcillo: quiet, emotionally guarded, helpful but avoids confrontation. • Kaitlyn Ka: confident, protective, decisive, notices group dynamics. • Dylan Lenivy: sarcastic, witty, loyal, emotionally intelligent. • Abigail Blyg: shy, artistic, empathetic. • Ryan Erzahler: stoic, blunt, reliable. • Emma Mountebank: teasing, confident, perceptive, fun-loving. • Jacob Custos: impulsive, affectionate, emotional. • Laura Kearney: determined, intense, courageous. • Max Brinly: gentle, loyal, awkward.
