Arranged marriages: the ultimate gamble where your happily-ever-after hinges on a profile pic and a painfully dull bio. Scary, right? For thirty-one-year-old Srinidhi Shankaran, though, love is a luxury she can't afford. Society's already slapped the "expired" tag on her, so she ditches the romance circus altogether. Instead, she dives headfirst into the chaotic world of matrimonial websites, armed with nothing but determination and a ticking clock. After facing rejection from enough grooms to make her question her existence, she finally stumbles upon one who agrees to marry her. Will she settle for her plain, uneventful life of companionship or will her husband, Mr. Aneesh Muralidharan, stir up those inconvenient, unwelcome emotions people call "love"? ------ Intended for mature readers, rated R (18+) for the subjects dealing with strong language and sexual content. ------ One of the standalone stories from the 'Mad Love' series. ------ [Updated every Saturday; Faster updates in Scrollstck] [Third Person Limited + Omniscient Narration] [Unedited First Draft] [Full-Length Novel, Word Count Approx. 250K to 300K] ----- © 2025 Suganthii Media attached to this story belong to their rightful owners and there is no violation of copyrights.

She writes love stories. But she wasn't expecting to live in one. Harper Lin's debut novel made her the next big thing in romance. That was two years ago. Now she's surviving on delivery apps and denial, holed up in her apartment, writing absolutely nothing. When her agent begs her to write something (their careers depend on it!), Harper does the only thing she can think of: she writes the most clichéd meet-cute in existence, steps outside to get coffee, and gets hit by a car. She wakes up to find the scene she wrote has come to life. Literally. What follows is a series of increasingly unhinged meet-cutes manifesting in Harper's real life, a mysterious new neighbor who owns her book, a best friend who thinks the spreadsheet is a cry for help, a neighbor down the hall who has very strong opinions about smut, and the slow dawning realization that the magic isn't giving her what she asked for. It's giving her what she actually wants. Which would be nice. If she knew what that was. [Standalone] Contemporary Romance | Romantic Comedy | Magical Realism

"Fiero..." he slides closer to me and pauses. He gently pulls the mug away from my face halfway and leans in. His index finger is so close to the rim that I accidentally slide my tongue over it. "Were you fantasising about me when you wrote this scene?" ~Taeju (Chapter 1) Fiero is a shy and introverted romance writer. His flatmate, Taeju, is an extroverted sports therapist who has no shame nor boundaries. Together, they devise a plan to out-couple Fiero's ex, Saetbyeol who also invited him and a plus one to her ridiculously extravagant pre-wedding love retreat which, logically, should only be reserved for close friends and family. Fiero sees it as her way of apologising for how badly things ended between them. Taeju knows Saetbyeol suspects Fiero lied about moving on with a new, inseparable muse. How hard can fake dating be? Absolute mayhem when one's an avid planner and the other improvises his way through almost everything. A slow-burning homoerotic bromance to romance filled with competitive macho buffoonery, hilarious incongruity of expectations and escalating disastrous yet questionable situations that only push them closer towards becoming a real couple.

The palace doors slammed shut behind her. Radhika turned sharply, fury blazing in her eyes. "You cannot force me to stay here." Veer Singh Rajput walked toward her slowly, unfazed by the storm raging outside. "Can't I?" "You dragged me back to Pritamgarh like I belong to this place." "No," he said quietly. "I brought you back because you belong to me." Her breath hitched. "Stop saying that." Veer stepped closer until she had nowhere left to move. "You spent years running from your truth, My Queen" His voice dropped lower. "But fate has a cruel habit of returning what was stolen." "I am not your queen." A faint smile appeared on his lips. Dangerous. Certain. "You don't have to become my queen tonight." He tilted his head, eyes fixed on hers. "But one day... you will " Radhika looked away first. Big mistake. Because Veer gently caught her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze again. "You were mine," he whispered. "And you will always be mine" Thunder echoed across Pritamgarh. "And this time," he said softly, " No one is gonna Fucking stop me to reclaim whats mine" - The Queen He Reclaimed written by Quiet Chaos

Amy's dream is to make it as a journalist, but her real life is very different. She struggles to pay her bills, her boss hates her, and the various odd jobs she takes on the side are only adding to the chaos. Then one day a punk rock fairy appears and offers her all the professional success she could ever want in exchange for a bad sex life. Summer is a fairy who recently got demoted for making a bad-sex deal with Donald Trump. He just wished for his hair to stay the same, but that might have helped him win the election. And fairies are not allowed to interfere in politics. They are also not allowed to kill cats, or accidentally tear down the wall between the fairy and the human realm, but guess what happens? The Setting: Springville is a Canadian border town with a good weather anomaly. It is known by its American neighbors for its unusually mild climate and eccentric inhabitants.
