In a cramped college dorm room where secrets echo louder than music and tension lives in every shared glance, two roommates find themselves caught in a spiral of lust, loathing, and everything in between. Lexi Blake never meant to fall for anyone especially not the stuck-up, rule-obsessed girl she got randomly assigned to live with. Nyla Knox is focused, disciplined, and completely uninterested in chaos. At least that is what she tells herself. But when late-night fights turn into breathless standoffs and insults blur into something hungrier, the line between enemies and something more starts to disappear. They are toxic. They are wrong. And yet they cannot stop. As school pressures rise, friendships fracture, and boundaries shatter, Lexi and Nyla are forced to confront what is really growing between them because this is not just a hookup.

No one hated each other as much as Tyler Murphy and Hazel Parker, every glance a slow, venomous burn. Yet beneath the surface, something deeper pulled them in, something they consumed in bitter, silent doses. It wasn't the hatred that destroyed them-it was the poison they couldn't stop sipping. The poison of love.

You dance for strangers. Heels, lights, music - the show never slips. Then you see her. A quiet girl in the back, watching like she's memorizing every move. She doesn't flirt. Doesn't speak. Just looks - like she knows exactly what she wants, and it's not for sale. What starts as a game of control becomes something else. Something harder to fake. Rules break. Lines blur. And when you're used to keeping your distance, nothing is more dangerous than being seen.

When Reader and Ellie find themselves locked in a room together they're forced to face the misunderstanding that occurred between them three years prior. Reader isn't ready to let it go, but Ellie is willing to persuade her otherwise. ------------------------------ (REQ: gayboobielover42069) Modern college AU.

Bite Before You Beg *smutty* (A "The Last of Us" Ellie x Reader Fanfic) The only thing worse than being stuck on patrol with Ellie Williams is realizing you'd rather throw her against a wall than shoot her. Y/N can fight off infected. She can outrun raiders. But surviving Ellie's smirks, sharp words, and too-close stares? That's a whole different war. Thrown together by bad luck and worse timing, what starts as another brutal patrol turns into something bloodier - and far more dangerous. Trapped in the ruins of a dying city, it's not just survival on the line anymore. It's pride. Control. Desire, twisting sharp as a blade between gritted teeth. Enemies first. Allies by necessity. Something else if they aren't careful. She hates Ellie Williams. She just hasn't decided yet if she'd rather kill her... or let her ruin her. In a world already torn apart, some battles are lost on purpose. And some are begged for.

Cassie Brown has spent her life wrapped in the illusion of safety-protected, overlooked, a shadow cast in her brother Jesse's wake. But she's done being someone else's careful secret, done biting down on the need for something raw, something real. Ellie Williams is impossible. Her sharp edges cut just to see if you'll bleed, and Cassie? She's always been the kind to lean into the pain. Their uneasy alliance is a game neither of them meant to play-stolen glances like flicked matches, touches that linger too long, a slow-burn soaked in gasoline. Survival demands trust. But trust? It tastes a lot like sin.
