Madelyn Chung is one of the best clinical psychology PhD students Harvard has ever seen - the most controversial, too. After discovering a data fraud conducted by Harvard's star faculty, Dr. Charlotte Shelby, her future career seems uncertain as whispers accuse her of being a burdensome whistleblower. With a potential groundbreaking research project in the line, she is appointed to work with Dr. Alex Manning, Harvard's young neuroscientist and professor who revolutionized several research in his field. A life-changing opportunity for Maddie - but she must deal with the fact that Alex was one of Charlotte's past collaborators, and his career was at stake because of the scandal. Maddie has always been careful when trudging through the endless hours of clinical shifts and research. But when she doesn't know if the longing stares from Alex every time he tries to make her life harder are an indication of hatred, or if they mean something else, she starts to feel unprepared. Because Maddie knows she is a falling star, and if she holds onto the fragile trust between her and Alex too tightly, she will only fall harder.

"You wanna kiss me, don't you, Emma? You wanna know what it feels like to touch me. To be touched by someone who knows what they're doing - by someone who won't hurt you. Well, I can do that. All you have to do is admit that you want it." ✿˖˚ ༘⋆ 𐙚 ̊. At nineteen, 𝘽𝙧𝙞𝙖 𝙈𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙡𝙞𝙣 returns to her sleepy hometown in shame, the bright future she once chased now in ruins. College was supposed to be her escape, her fresh start - but instead, it chewed her up and spat her out. All her parents know is that she was expelled. They don't know the truth: that Bria was betrayed in the worst way. A victim of revenge porn that outed her as a lesbian, she's drowning in silence and fury, barely holding herself together behind a wall of sarcasm and smirks. Desperate to rebuild her life - or at least give the appearance of trying - Bria reluctantly agrees to her therapist's suggestion: join a community theater production of Romeo and Juliet. Playing make-believe feels stupid at first, but the stage offers Bria a fragile sanctuary... until whispers start. Someone knows what happened. And secrets don't stay buried long in small towns. Just when Bria's progress teeters on collapse, an unexpected ally emerges: 𝙀𝙢𝙢𝙖 𝙍𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧, her former high school rival, now the local church's first female youth pastor. But Emma is nothing like the holier-than-thou girl Bria remembers. She's warm, drawn to her, and hiding some sort of dark heartbreak of her own.

In ancient Kemet-where gods still shape fate- two powerful souls are set to collide. 𝐙𝐚𝐡𝐫𝐚, the Pharaoh's radiant and feared daughter, is worshipped as the Gem of Egypt, a woman touched by the very light of Ra. Beautiful, untouchable, and dangerous to desire, she has never bowed to anyone-mortal or divine. She embodies the strength of a goddess, unknowing of her full potential. 𝐈𝐤𝐚𝐮𝐡𝐨𝐫 is her opposite: a rising Tahtib warrior of brutal, inhuman strength, rumored to carry the shadowed power of Anubis. Born from dust and battle, he is disciplined, deadly, and utterly unafraid of the crown. Coming from a background of dark untold secrets, yet to be unveiled.. When Ikauhor conquers the arena with godlike ferocity, the Pharaoh commands him to take on a forbidden duty: 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐙𝐚𝐡𝐫𝐚. Their hatred is immediate. Their attraction, undeniable. Their souls-ancient echoes of sun and shadow-recognize each other before their minds do. Unaware of the sacred bond Ra and Anubis had made centuries before, where fate brings them together. Zahra sees Ikauhor as a threat to divine order. Ikauhor sees her as a sun-blessed tyrant who could burn the world-or him. But prophecy whispers of a union powerful enough to either restore balance to the gods... or plunge Egypt into chaos. Bound by duty yet pulled together by fate, Zahra and Ikauhor must confront the truth: Their desire is not merely forbidden- it is cosmic, dangerous, and capable of shaking the empire to its core.

Money, control, and a heart made of ice. But the more time they spend together, the harder it gets to resist the fire between them. Enemies by nature. Lovers by accident.

-ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈ The first time I saw Luke Carter cry, he was trying to drown himself in a pool at midnight. I didn't stop him. I just watched. 𖹭.ᐟ Oliver Reyes is the boy who seems fine. Star swimmer. Perfect grades. Empty house. He's learned to hold his breath-in the pool, in the pills he counts like prayers, in the silence of being left behind by parents who love him from a distance. Luke Carter is the boy everyone wants but nobody saves. Golden, reckless, burning out fast. He fights like he's trying to feel something and drowns like he's trying to stop. 愛 When they collide, it's not love at first sight. It's recognition. Two boys who understand that water accepts what people can't. Two boys who've been treading water their whole lives, waiting for someone to notice they're sinking. But loving someone who's drowning doesn't save them. Sometimes it just means you both go under. 𖹭.ᐟ This is a story about the versions of ourselves we perform for other people. About being everyone's hero when you can barely save yourself. About the fine line between swimming and drowning, between love and destruction, between staying and letting go. 愛 Not all love stories have happy endings. Some just have honest ones. -ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈ ★ A devastating exploration of teen mental health, trauma, and what it means to be truly seen ★ Multiple POVs: Oliver, Luke, and Ava ★ For fans of "All The Bright Places" and "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" ⚠️ Content warnings: suicide, self-harm, substance abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence, drowning #26 teenager, out of 74,8k stories💕 #108 teen, out of 380k stories 💕 #277 gay, out of 392k stories 💕 #249 teenromance, out of 127k stories 💕
