Nineteen-year-old Dahlia took the job for the paycheck, plain and simple. When she signed up to babysit five-year-old Mia, she expected nothing more than a few hours of coloring books and easy money to help get her life started. She didn't expect to walk into a house that felt like a beautifully decorated cage. Christian was only twenty-two, but he had been playing the role of a husband and father since he was seventeen. A single night's mistake with Harper had turned into a lifetime of commitment. He lived in a house he was forced to buy, married to a woman who treated their daughter like an inconvenience. He stayed with her only for Mia, working from home in a quiet, isolated world while Harper spent her days anywhere but with her family. Dahlia was the first breath of fresh air the house had seen in years. She didn't just watch the clock; she genuinely cared for Mia in a way Harper never did. As Christian watched her from his home office, the distance between them started to feel unbearable. While Harper was out, the house grew quiet, and the air between Dahlia and Christian grew heavy. Every shared laugh over Mia's jokes and every lingering look in the house made the truth harder to ignore. Dahlia felt the crushing weight of the guilt, reminding herself that he belonged to someone else. She wasn't the girl who crossed lines or ruined marriages... until she was. #3 in love

Marauder Era smut with plot *mature chapters have been marked as (M)*

Sofia Di Laurentis has always been shy around guys, except for Garrett Graham. Her brother's best friend. Her best friend. The one guy completely off limits. So when her longtime crush, Justin Hayes, finally notices her, Sofia turns to the only person she trusts enough to help her: Garrett. Confident, charming, and annoyingly good with girls, he agrees to give her flirting lessons under one condition: they tell Dean exactly what's going on before he walks in and kills them both. What starts as harmless practice quickly turns into late-night talks and lingering touches that feel a little too real, and a growing tension neither of them knows how to ignore. Because the more Garrett teaches Sofia how to fall for someone else, the harder it becomes to hide the truth: He's been in love with her all along. DISCLAIMER: I do not own the Off-Campus series, any of the characters, or the plot. All rights go to the appropriate parties. I own Sofia and her plot-line.

Sworn enemies Garrett Graham and Jocelyn Reid were Briar U's golden athletes - and each other's biggest problem. As captain of the Briar U hockey team and a future first-round NHL draft pick, Garrett was used to pressure, attention, and getting exactly what he wanted. Jocelyn Reid, Briar U's elite solo figure skater and three-time national champion, was just as untouchable, with Olympic dreams resting on her shoulders. To everyone else, they were perfect. What nobody saw was how badly they were both falling apart beneath the weight of expectations. On the ice, Jocelyn was flawless. Off it, she was exhausted from chasing perfection, suffocating under the constant pressure to never fail. Garrett knew exactly what that felt like - the loneliness that came with being the version of yourself everyone else demanded. When a wrong-number text sparks an anonymous friendship, neither of them realizes they've found comfort in the one person they're supposed to hate. What begins as late-night conversations and hidden confessions quickly becomes the only part of their lives that feels real. With a promise to keep their identities secret, Garrett and Jocelyn build something safe behind glowing phone screens and midnight phone calls - a connection neither of them can walk away from. But when the truth finally comes out, they'll have to decide if the person who understands them most is worth risking everything they've worked for. Because falling for your enemy is dangerous... but falling for the one person who truly sees you? That's terrifying. Garrett Graham Fanfic Based on Off Campus 1 © californialust 2026

~In which the Rosy Marshall, the youngest heiress of the Marshall family, decides to become a cop and move all the way from PA to LA just to end up as a rookie under Tim Bradford~

Isla carried herself with a quiet kind of innocence that felt completely out of place. She radiated softness without even trying; thoughtful eyes, guarded smiles and a calmness that made people underestimate her. Dean Di Laurentis was everything she should've stayed away from - charming, reckless and infamous for breaking hearts and meaningless nights. He strived on attention, parties and girls who were entranced by him, yet still wanted nothing to do with them except for a one-night stand. The moment he noticed Isla, something shifted. She wasn't drawn in by his reputation or impressed by his confidence and that only made him want her more. There was only one thing stopping him - she's Garrett's younger sister.

Dean Di Laurentis gets every girl he wants. Olivia Williams is the first one who refuses to be part of the game. At Briar University, hockey is religion, parties are currency, and everyone knows everyone's secrets. Dean lives for chaos. Olivia practically invented it. But somewhere between late-night fights, stolen glances across crowded parties, and a rivalry neither of them can walk away from, keeping score starts to feel a lot like losing control.

"Didn't anyone tell you it's dangerous to look that good alone?" "Didn't anyone tell you that you bleach your hair too much Blondie?" Kori Reese is the top of her classes, studying psychology at Briar U. She's bright, she's sharp, she's beautiful. She loves a good time, she often gets dragged along to parties with Hannah Wells and Allie Hayes, her two closest friends. Although she loves a good time, she doesn't like distractions. She doesn't do labels, she doesn't like relationships, after seeing her parents relationship collapse, and after her first disaster of a relationship, she thinks relationships are a waste of time. But what happens when Kori meets Dean "Six Flags" Di Laurentis... hot hockey player that girls can't get enough of. Only this time, roles have reversed and Dean can't seem to get enough of Kori, even when she rejects him a hundred times and counting. Inspired by Off Campus by Elle Kennedy (None of these characters belong to me besides Kori Reese). Dean Di Laurentis x Fem OC Dual POV
