She wasn't looking for an escape. Until it found her. When Laura, a guarded Vogue writer from Paris, lands the rare chance to interview South Korea's most elusive actor, Gong Yoo, she doesn't expect it to feel like fate. What begins as a professional encounter soon turns into a deeper connection. They discover that there is something pulling them together; loneliness, fear, and the desire to be seen and heard. One day, she receives something she never expected: an invitation that pulls her halfway across the world. But under the glare of the public eye, desire becomes dangerous, and falling in love means learning to trust where it hurts the most. Set between the moody streets of Paris and the neon alleys of Seoul, this is a story of connection, longing, and a love that asks more questions than it answers. **Trigger warning: this story contains adult content, as well as themes of pregnancy and loss.**

They grew up together. They were meant to be together. He knew it. So did she. ...And so did he. What happens when the boy next door, your best friend, and the college hunk tells you he is in love? With you? Set in 90s in the quaint city of Pune, this is a story of friendship, loyalties, relationships, misunderstandings, and romance. Arnav and Khushi take the journey of being best friends to soulmates one day at a time. Love is never easy but always finds its way even if it's across three continents.

Bullied and bruised, Adam Winters has survived high school by keeping his head down. Those bothered by his quiet, eccentric nature? They are the 'pretty' ones. The ones with comfortable backgrounds. The ones at the top. When an attractive transfer becomes his seat neighbour for the rest of the semester, Adam is naturally wary-- partly because of her brawny sibling in senior year, and partly because she checks every box on his list of people to avoid: pretty, rich, and popular. With an angelic smile, twinkling sapphire eyes and ribbons in her blonde hair, her persona screams perfection. A level he won't be able to achieve even in his quirkiest of daydreams-- not like he'd ever want to. After all, despite her odd choice of friends, her playful teasing, and her persistent efforts to win his trust, isn't she just another heartless bully? ••• Featured on: @humor - DiverseLit Humor (Sept 2025) @Ambassadors - Slice Of Life (Sept 2025) @humor - Ambassador's Monthly Pick (Oct 2025)

Misfits and Wildflowers is a series of short stories based on my highschool experience. "How I met my highschool sweetheart" is a compilation of 3 of those stories-Summer of 1999, The Homecoming story, and Y2K: New beginnings. Set in the school year of 1999-2000, a simpler time full of baggy JNCO jeans, Discman players, colorful fashion, and Y2K fears - Everyone lived in the moment 15-year-old Alfie is a shy and nerdy boy who is convinced he will never experience love the way his friends have, and will end up living the life of a monk. During Summer school, Alfie meets a peculiar girl whom he develops a huge crush on. Struggling to express any of his feelings, he ends up missing an opportunity due to unforeseen circumstances. Now entering the new school year, Alfie finds himself tangled in new feelings, old traumas, and the messy, hilarious chaos of adolescence. With a found family of punks, nerds, goths, and other social outcasts(affectionately known as the Island of Misfits), Alfie navigates crushes that sting, friendships that anchor, and breakups that echo through locker-lined hallways...until one day, he finally experiences that spark. This is a coming-of-age story rooted in nostalgia, honesty, and the kind of emotional growth you only get from falling hard and getting back up. The Homecoming Story:

Genevieve Aldridge has it all-money, looks, popularity, and the kind of rebellious charm that makes her the queen of the high school scene. Her life is perfect-or that's what they thought. She's bold, impulsive, and always chasing the next thrill. And when boredom hits, nothing's off-limits-not even a reckless little bet. Ethan Carter is everything she's not. Quiet. Brilliant. Mysterious. The kind of guy who keeps his head down, his grades high, and his heart locked up tight. While others are partying, he's planning his future-far away from high school drama and girls like Genevieve. So when she makes a bet to get the school's most untouchable nerd to fall for her, it's just another game... at first. But the more time she spends around Ethan-the more she sees beyond the books and sarcasm-the harder it becomes to remember where the act ends and something real begins. He wasn't supposed to matter. She wasn't supposed to feel anything. And love? That was never part of the plan. But some games have unexpected endings, right? ⸻ Just a heads-up: English isn't my first language, so there might be a few small mistakes here and there. Still, I hope you enjoy the story-and feel free to let me know if anything sounds off!
