~ongoing~ Andrea Wren had experienced countless setbacks in her life, the greatest of them all being the loss of her parents in a hit-and-run. The unsolved mystery tormented her for years, she believed that there was more than the court revealed. Now that things are eventually looking up and she has a lead on the case, an intimidating man lurking in the shadows gets in her way. There was nothing soft about him. Not his voice, not his stare, and definitely not the way he moved, like every step had already been plotted ten moves ahead. Though they start off on the wrong foot, the walls between them soon begin to crack and a reluctant alliance is initiated. With glares turning into secret glances and an irresistible attraction binding them, something more is bound to arise. ◕ ◕ ◕ He smirked, the kind that curled with trouble, and slowly leaned in, his eyes locked on mine, unblinking. My breath hitched as I braced myself against the desk behind me, my fingers curling around the edge. His gaze flicked to my lips, a fleeting loaded glance, before he abruptly turned away stepping back just far enough to make me ache for air. "If you keep this up," he murmured, voice low and edged with heat, "I might just kiss that smart mouth of yours." I pushed off the desk, circling around him, my tone firm but my knees anything but steady. "I'm being serious here." "So am I." There was something darker in his eyes now, something unreadable and electric. My skin tingled with warning. Before I could figure out what had shifted, he moved. ~weekly updates~

Left the safehouse minutes before we reached. Almost like... someone warned her." Piya didn't flinch. She poured him coffee with a calm he didn't question. "Maybe she's lucky," she said. He stepped closer. "No. It's not luck. She moves like someone's guiding her." A beat. "Or protecting her." Her phone buzzed in her pocket - one vibration. Atasha was safe. Piya looked up at him. His eyes were on her - sharp, searching. "Then maybe you need to stop thinking like a cop..." She smiled softly. "...and start thinking like a woman who has nothing left to lose." Their eyes locked. Long. Quiet. Dangerous. Ikshit stepped closer - invading her space. Testing something he couldn't name. "And what kind of woman are you, Piya?" His voice dropped to a murmur. She didn't back away. "The kind who hides the truth behind a kiss," she whispered, kissing him. And when he kissed her - hard, desperate, confused. She was kissing him back. Knowing full well... He was chasing her best friend. While falling in love with the enemy.

Completed Flatmates to Friends. Friends to Lovers. A slowburn love story between a tech nerd Avni and an actor Rohit who is more than 5 years younger than her. Set in ten years of time span. Cute romance. No love triangles. Found family tropes. Nice and kind charecters. South Mumbai Vibes. Avni Pathak is a tech entrepreneur who rebuilt her life and her identity from the ashes. Fiercely private and deeply introverted, she clings to her peace and quiet like a lifeline. Her awkward, deadpan charm has a way of endearing and occasionally exasperating everyone around her. She's all heart and quiet resilience, wrapped in the unassuming shell of a soft-spoken coder who just wants to be left alone (unless you're her laptop or her one plant). Rohit Avasthi is an aspiring actor with big dreams and an even bigger heart. Loud, expressive, and full of mischief, he brings joy and spontaneity wherever he goes. He's chaos in motion, wrapped in a genetically-blessed face, and somehow manages to be both a walking distraction and the safest person in the room. Avni and Rohit are flatmates, figuring out life, love, ambition, and what it means to be truly happy. Avni is the quiet anchor, steady and grounded, holding him when he soars too high too fast. Rohit is the sunshine, bright and unrelenting, warming her gently when she begins to stumble. Together, they balance each other-soft chaos meeting quiet strength-as they become friends.
