Whether they were going after the highest AP test scores or a spot on the varsity teams in school, or even the title of "most likely to succeed" as graduation creeped closer, the only word they seemed to associate with each other was competition. Even when college rolls around and they expect to never have to deal with each other again, they find themselves clashing once more when they realize they've been assigned as roommates. Immediately, their top priority is to get as far away from each other as possible. Both girls want nothing more than a fresh start from high school, yet they can't accomplish that with a piece of their past sleeping in the bed right next to them. However, the longer they're forced to be around each other, the more they start to learn just how well they work together, and it's not long before their mutual loathing transforms into something far stronger. In the midst of discovering themselves and their feelings while also navigating university for the first time, their rivalry runs deeper than ever, leaving one last question to be answered: Who will be the first to fall? ✔︎ academic rivals to lovers ✔︎ mega slowburn ✔︎ girlxgirl college romance ✔︎ diverse cast ✔︎ dual pov status: ongoing - started: august 2023. awards & recognition: - #1 in lgbtpride - sept. 9, 2024 - #1 in femxfem - may 17, 2026

When aspiring writer Marcie is hired as the personal assistant to her all-time favorite author, Rosalind Lindbergh, she expects to be learning the ins and outs of the industry - not fending off red-hot feelings that aren't exactly "workplace appropriate." Season 1 of Romancing The Writer *** Willing to do anything to prove she has it together, unemployed writer/perpetual screw-up Marcella Harper somehow manages to land her second-place dream job: personal assistant to her personal hero, best-selling author Rosalind Lindbergh. Brutally dumped less than 24 hours after her first day, Marcie discovers that there may be no better distraction than her new job ... and new boss. After all, Marcie has had a crush on über-famous, ultra-hot Roz since high school. And - although she promised Marcie their relationship was strictly professional - Roz might just be returning her awkward, bumbling advances. When lines begin to blur and career prospects end up on the line, Marcie is sure of one thing: either she gives up on her dreams, or her dream woman. "You know, they have tutorials online for this kind of thing," I tell her. "You know, I hired a personal assistant for this kind of thing," she retorts. And then, we both stand there, awkwardly close. We watch the coffee sputter, then begin to pour. Neither of us utters a word. And, when it's done pouring, neither of us reach for it. "Are you ... not gonna take your coffee?" I finally ask. It's quiet. Tentative. "Oh. Right."
