COMPLETED // Sanjana Kashyap is an Olympic level figure skater. Or, she used to be, before an almost career-ending injury at the U.S. Championship the year before. Now she's clawing her way back through physical therapy, trying to find a new partner for pairs skating, and focused on never trusting anyone but herself ever again. Niall Horan is doing anything and everything to distract himself from his disastrous previous relationship. Recording, vacationing, participating in charity soccer games despite his shitty knees. He'll do whatever he can to forget her. A chance meeting between the two during physical therapy leads to a realization - the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else. That is until feelings get involved. A fwb story about heartbreak, rebounds, dodgy knees, following your passion, and weathering the storm.

She giggled a little as she looked over at the older couple. "That's going to be us one day." "Yeah?" She rested her head on my shoulder, giving me a quick kiss on my neck before nestling in. I scooted her closer to me with my free hand, resting my hand on her leg. I looked at the older couple for a minute. They were sitting quite close to each other, holding each other's hand, deep in their own world. It was obvious theirs was a love that had deep roots; a love that still made them feel young. I looked down at the woman I had next to me. Her fingers intertwined with mine, her other arm wrapped around my waist. She was perfection, still, even after all this time. "How did I get so lucky?" I whispered softly, to myself.

Niall Horan is tired (and slightly embarrassed) of being the only one in his circle who is still single. The people around him - his family, his friends, his colleagues - are either in love, getting married or starting a family. Although they are content with their lives, at least that's what they tell Niall, they can't seem to mind their own business and stop trying to set him up with someone they know. In their defence, they're just worried about him and want the best for him. If only he could find a way to make them stop... Alexandra Oh has just gotten out of a relationship with the guy she thought was the one and she's not looking to be in another relationship anytime soon. But she has a problem. A few months ago, when she thought things were great between her and her ex that shall not be named, she told her family and friends that she would introduce him to them. She will prove to everyone that her boyfriend is indeed real and not someone she makes up so they would stop pestering her about her love life. With said ex out of the picture now, she needs to find someone that could fill in the position. If only she could find someone willing to be her pretend boyfriend... or, the one where lies are told and lines get blurred

COMPLETED // Updated periodically with post-story drabbles. The only thing keeping Neha Khanna together is the book shop she owns and the romance novels she loses herself in. Niall Horan, on the hand, is a cocky investment banker with a penchant for saving failing businesses and turning profits. If you ask him, he doesn't have a single romantic bone in his body. When Neha is on the verge of losing everything because of blissful ignorance, Niall's the only one who can keep her world from shattering. But, that's only if they can learn to get along first. TW: This story does mention the death of a family member. It is not detailed. A story about being lost and finding yourself, with help from the most unexpected of things: places, books, and realizing that everyone has a story - some just have yet to be written.
