Lara never expected a normal school morning to change anything. Then she met Manon Bannerman. Quiet, distant, and impossible to ignore, Manon slowly becomes the center of Lara's world-until love, growing up, and unspoken words start pulling them apart. Years later, Manon is engaged. And Lara is left wondering what would've happened... if she had stayed.

In the middle of messy college nights, loud friends, crowded kitchens, and the kind of exhaustion that settles deep in your bones, Lara Raj and Manon Bannerman meet by accident. Lara is the kind of person everyone leans on but nobody really looks at closely. Funny without trying, caring to a fault, and quietly drowning beneath self-hatred she hides behind tired smiles, she's convinced love is something meant for other people. Manon is impossible to ignore - loud, magnetic, reckless, and emotionally shut tighter than a locked door. She fills every room she enters with warmth and humor while secretly carrying grief she's never learned how to survive. What starts as flirtation and late-night conversations slowly turns into something deeper. Messier. Dangerous in the way real love is when two broken people begin seeing every beautiful and terrible part of each other. Through heartbreak, self-destruction, betrayal, grief, and the terrifying vulnerability of being fully known, Lara and Manon are forced to decide whether love can survive after seeing the good, the bad, and the ugly. A realistic slow-burn romance about healing badly, loving deeply, and learning that being loved is not the same thing as being saved.

Years ago, Lara Raj and Manon Bannerman were unstoppable-a force on the handball court and a promise to each other off it. They built a life together from the ground up, cemented by the beautiful, quiet world they created for their daughter. Now, the whistle has blown, the court is gone, and the life they spent years building has fractured into a suffocating routine of resentment and late-night arguments that never truly end. Trapped in a loop of guilt and destructive habits, they are roommates bound by a child, enemies bound by a history, and lovers bound by a memory. As old friends return and the walls they've built begin to crumble, Lara and Manon must face the raw, unvarnished truth of what broke them-and decide if the family they made is enough to glue the pieces back together.

After debuting as katseye, there was still beef between member of the group ( manon x lara ) basically management forced Manon and lara to share a room together which resulted into hate Turing to love ( lara pov, mostly )

Where Lara and Manon have hated each other since Dream academy, but when they make it into the group something changes, or does it?

This story is about love between Lara and Manon. This is gonna be spicy, but also soft and lovely. I can only say that this is my first EVER writing so I am going to be glad if you would give me some opinions about it. With love, Ellie:)

Manon and lara start as really close friends, but some things change, they share glances, stay in eachothers room longer, hug tighter, then one night, they kiss, and the whole world changes, they are now heavily in love, sleeping together, eating eachothers food, and never wanting to leave eachothers side. (No smut) there will be kissing and crying. (Heavily described)

All 6 of them meet at school, but something they dont realize is that three of them are vampires... Will they reveal themselves or stay hidden Or fall in love? Warning|| there will be smut, some aggressive scenes, smoking, drinking, and cuss words

Lara is trying to get through university at Geffen without everything falling apart: her boyfriend, her friendships, and her own head included. Between house parties, dance society, and messy group dynamics, she keeps finding herself in situations she doesn't really want to be in. Then there's Manon. A bartender, film student, and Dani's best friend, Manon keeps showing up at the right moments, especially when Lara is overwhelmed or spiralling. It starts off small -- conversation, grounding, silence that feels easier than noise -- but slowly becomes something harder to ignore. Lara has a boyfriend. Manon is just a friend. At least, that's what she keeps telling herself. Loosely inspired by the Reneé Rapp album Bite Me :)
