"Cal had been the one to buy the moon for me. And somehow, I would find a way to buy him the whole world in return." 🌕

Zodiac Academy: Seth on the Moon was such a delightful, funny, and super cute short story!  Seth is an absolute hoot—his mischievous antics and quirky personality had me chuckling from start to finish.  I loved how the story leaned into the friendship between Seth and Caleb, with the subtle hints of Seth’s hidden feelings making every interaction even more charming and sweet.  Caleb has no idea yet, which makes the slow-burn tension all the more enjoyable.

Even in this short format, the story is full of heart, humor, and adventure.  The tropes and themes that really shine here are:

✨ Best Friends / Friendship First

✨ Hidden / Secret Crush

✨ Lighthearted Comedy & Fun

✨ Adventure / Moon Mission

✨ Magical School Setting

✨ Playful Banter & Mischief

This is a quick, feel-good story that perfectly balances laughs, friendship, and a touch of swoony tension—ideal for a little Zodiac Academy escape!
