It's a simple ache, this yearning of mine, And it sits behind my ribs, breathing when I think about you. cover by @doewitch !! © flawsvme, 2026

Malika Danai is pressure. Friendly, social, and loved by all, Malika thrives in college and is often seen as a mirage - seemingly real and attainable but disappears when approached. She's a party girl to the core. Loves to drink, flirt, and explore with her best friends, Ayana and Isabella. Her beauty is undeniable. With curly black hair cascading over her shoulders and golden-brown skin that glows no matter where she's at, Malika's presence is impossible to ignore. Her dark brown eyes often sparks with mischief, and her full two-toned lips often curves into teasing grins that hints at secrets she rarely shares. Malika excels at a lot of things but she was never the study type. She prayed the night before exams and hoped that her grades would at least give her a passing score and somehow, that always worked. Until now... Her grades are barely holding on- good enough to pass, but not good enough for a sorority like the Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA). She wants to join. No she needs to. It's the only way she can prove to her mother that she's worth it. And she'll do whatever it takes. Even if it means casting her pride aside to get help from the boy who loathes her existence. Meanwhile... Theo Sinclair is a weapon. An academic weapon that nobody can beat. Coming from an old money family where the expectations and bars are set high, Theo surpasses them all and is often pushed towards greatness by his family. Yet he has a big flaw: boredom. Because of his uncaring attitude towards everything and everyone around him, Theo is often alone. Deliberately avoiding attention and validation from peers; he thrives in the silence and rhythm of his own scheduled routines. He has only one rule; 'Never let myself feel things I can't control.' To him, parties are ratchet and vile. An enigma vastly contrasting his reverence for solitude, silence, and carefully ordered thoughts. So when he's pushed into an unwanted arrangement, he resents the intrusion because slowly, his rule...

... Maisie Lucumi has lived her nineteen years quietly. Her world has always been composed of routine, polite smiles, and carefully monitored expectations. She never longed for more - never dared to - until the day her future was arranged without her consent. Soren Santil's life has always belonged to everyone else. As the only son in a house full of sisters, the golden boy of English football, and the pride of his family, responsibility has followed him everywhere. So when Italy calls, he answers - unaware that his transfer comes with far more than a contract. Despite being strangers bound by an agreement neither fully understands, Soren and Maisie find themselves orbiting each other in a house filled with tension and silence. But it doesn't take long to realize that some arrangements aren't built for happiness. And sometimes, the quietest hearts carry the loudest storms.

"You're the fucking reason why we've got left!" he shouted "Oh, I'm the reason!?" he groaned out of frustration, running his hand through his hair. "didn't I just said you were?" "fuck you!" I shot back, throwing sand at him. he glared before running after me, catching up fast. his hands grabbed my waist, pushing me down into the sand. our eyes locked, breaths heavy. the anger on his face was clear. my bikini top had slipped, with my nipple exposing me. "don't fucking play with me, indigo," he said voice low, fixing my bikini top before pulling away. his eyes lingered on mine for a moment longer before he stood up. --- 𝐓𝐖𝐎 rival swimmers who can't stand each other...

｡ﾟﾟ･｡･ﾟﾟ｡ ﾟ。001 & 013 　ﾟ･｡･ Thirteen was practically raised in Hawkins Lab. For most of her life, she has never known anything outside its sterile, unwelcoming walls. She's a shy girl, afraid of her powers and what she could do with them. As Dr. Brenner's favorite daughter, she's had it arguably easier than most of her siblings, but that does not mean that growing up in the lab has been easy for her. Peter Ballard has always been her favorite Orderly. He's never mean, never shouts, and always has a reassuring smile on his face. He's one of her only comfort sources, even though she's barely spoken five sentences to him in the last eighteen years. She has no idea yet, how important he will be in her life. ------- [On Hold until I have a few chapters stacked up] Henry Creel x Fem!OC ⚠️ Mature, check content warnings!

London, 1800s. The capital buzzes with anticipation. After years abroad, the young prince has returned-handsome, arrogant, and at the ripe age of twenty-two. With the royal bloodline on everyone's mind, the court demands a queen, and a dazzling debutante ball is summoned to find her. As the daughters of nobility scramble for silks, rouge, and powdered curls, one young woman stands apart. Arabella, a clever, sharp-tongued nurse from humble roots, has no dreams of tiaras or titles. But when her mother-renowned for her pastries-is summoned to bake for the palace, Arabella agrees to help, unable to let her family miss out on the generous royal coin. It was supposed to be simple. Bake. Serve. Leave. Until one accidental moment... And one entitled, self-serving prince... Throws Arabella into a scandal neither of them saw coming. In a world ruled by etiquette, wealth, and secrets, what begins as an unfortunate mishap might just set the stage not only romance- but murder, heartache and treatury.

It's the late 70s and Dr. Brenner decides to let his daughter, Amber Brenner, work at the lab. That's when she met Peter. But what happens after...? (Henry Creel x female!OC)

Disclaimer ( Henry will be younger for the sake of this story) I never thought I would be back in Indiana let alone Hawkins, but I can't ignore the feeling that has been calling me back here. It's been getting stronger as the years went by, and if It's one thing I'm sure of, it is that I have to face him now. With each mile back home I feel him, his anger, his hate, his devotion to darkness. Henry was always troubled but he trusted me, and I betrayed him. Sooner or later I would be met with the consequences of my actions, now being the later. (Henry Creel X Fem!OC) #Henry Creel, #Peter Ballard, #001, #Mr. Whats-it
