"Power isn't taught. It's tested-and most don't survive the audit. WELCOME TO THE SUCCESSION" Succession is where power learns it will never be punished. It is not a school. It is a closed system designed to refine heirs who already own pieces of the country-energy, weapons, infrastructure, policy. Everyone admitted is old money. Everyone is disposable. The Academy exists to decide who remains useful. Nothing here is illegal. Everything here is intentional. People don't fail. They are reclassified. Reputations collapse through paperwork. Futures end in private meetings. Violence happens without impact, without witnesses, without consequences. Silence is enforced. Compliance is recorded. What breaks students is never visible enough to name. Pond Naravit enters, carrying an empire built on fuel, grids, and dependency. Phuwin Tangsakyuen enters with a legacy forged in arms contracts and sanctioned conflict. Their families have circled each other for generations-never allied, never at peace. The hostility is structural. It doesn't require emotion. Succession places them in proximity. The Academy thrives on pressure. On watching incompatible forces occupy the same space until something gives. Desire is not discouraged. Cruelty is not corrected. Everything is observed. Everything is ranked. No one here becomes good. Some become necessary. Succession does not teach morality. It teaches continuity. And it has never cared about what it costs.

Pond and Phuwin were inseparable-best friends, soulmates bound by promises meant to last a lifetime. Until life intervened. Phuwin was too afraid to name what he felt. Pond, already feeling invisible, stopped waiting. They parted without goodbyes-only silence, distance, and the kind of pain that lingers. Seven years later, Pond returns to Bangkok-the city he once called home, where every street holds a memory he never truly escaped. Phuwin, meanwhile, has built his walls high, convincing himself that some things are better left buried. Their paths cross again in an unexpected place: Veiled Voices, an anonymous platform where strangers pour out their hearts and remind each other they aren't alone. They begin writing. One reply turns into another. The words grow familiar. Intimate. Dangerous. What happens when they realize the person who understands them most is the one they lost? When they finally meet after seven years-will it be healing... or heartbreak all over again?

"Give me 10 days and I'll set you up on 10 dates until you find the one. After 10 days, if I don't succeed in finding the one for you, I promise to die alone along with you.'' "No Phuwin, your job is to arrange the wedding preparations not the marriage.'' ''I can do both, so we'll see about that." When two best friends that have sworn upon themselves that they don't share any romantic feelings and are solely platonic, spent 10 days trying to find a suitable spouse for the perfectionist Pond Naravit. Will they realize that what they have is not what they think but much more than that, or will they keep denying the obvious truth that everyone can see but they themselves.Will Phuwin be able to keep his words to his best friend's mother even if that means losing his heart in the process. Read to follow them on their rollercoaster ride of emotions. - best friends to lovers - mutual pining - slow burn - smut - jealouslyyy I'll put Joongdunk and Gemfourth as side couples <3

"In the gravity of rivalry, even hate can pull you into orbit." Two rivals. One campus. Endless battles of wit, skill, and pride. But when hate pulls them together, will rivalry turn into something far more dangerous-and irresistible?

"THIS FANFICTION IS INSPIRED BY THE ONGOING KOREAN DRAMA 'OUR UNIVERSE' PLEASE NOTE THAT NO KIND OF PLAGARIZATION IS INTENDED. THE STORY IS PURELY INSPIRED, NOT COPIED. THE CORE OF THE TWO WILL BE 100% DIFFERENT" When tragedy strikes, life doesn't wait for anyone. At 24, Phuwin loses his older brother and sister-in-law in a sudden accident-leaving behind a tiny, six-month-old baby and no family to care for them. With his parents long gone and no one else to turn to, Phuwin makes a choice that will change everything: he takes the baby in. He's not alone. His closest friends-Pond, his steadfast roommate; Joong, the sarcastic neighbor with a surprisingly soft heart; and Dunk, the dramatic yet lovable chaos-magnet-step up to help. Together, they form an unconventional family, navigating sleepless nights, first cries, and the terrifying responsibility of raising a child who needs them more than ever. Between work deadlines, unexpected hospital visits, and the constant chaos of apartment life, bonds are tested, hearts are challenged, and love-both platonic and something more-grows in ways none of them expected. Phuwin learns that family isn't always born, sometimes it's built in the middle of chaos, laughter, and midnight lullabies.

"Thirty is coming. So is the question they never answered. One promise. One year. One chance to choose." At twenty-two, it was supposed to be a joke. A half-laugh, a careless promise made on an ordinary night: If we're still single at thirty, we'll try. No rules. No pressure. No expectations. They never spoke of it again. Seven years later, Pond and Phuwin are adults in every way that matters-steady jobs, separate lives, carefully built routines. They are still best friends. Still each other's constant. Still the first person the other thinks of, even when they pretend not to. When circumstances force them back into the same space, old familiarity turns dangerous. Shared mornings feel too intimate. Soft touches linger too long. Conversations circle around everything they refuse to name. And somewhere between now and thirty, the promise resurfaces-not as a joke, but as a question neither of them knows how to answer. Because this isn't about falling in love. It's about admitting they already did-and deciding whether they're brave enough to risk the one thing they've never lost. Set in the quiet tension of adulthood, Somewhere Before Forever is a slow-burn friends-to-lovers story about timing, restraint, and the kind of love that waits patiently... until it can't anymore.

"You're late. And you smell like someone else's perfume. It's midnight, Phuwin. The sun is down. Take it off." On campus, Pond is the Engineering "Golden Boy." Phuwin is his junior, the Architecture "Ice Prince." No one guesses they are bound by a secret FWB agreement that exists only from 12:00 AM to 6:00 AM - no titles, no daylight recognition and no strings attached. For Pond, it's a way to keep his popular life uncomplicated. For Phuwin, it is a poetic torture he endures just to have Pond in the dark. When a charming senior begins to openly pursue Phuwin in the light, the rules Pond created start to feel like a cage. "Midnight is bleeding into noon, junior." The 6:00 AM curfew has finally met its expiration date.
