"Sshhh... wait a second." He grabbed my face, forcing me to look at him. "What?" I snapped. "Your eyes... when did they become so... beautiful?" he slurred, staring like I'd sprouted stars overnight. "Go home, you drunkard!" I shoved at him, trying to break free. He ignored me, gripping my chin tighter, stepping close. "And your nose... it used to look worse than a clown's. Why does it look... different?" His finger traced the tip. "Veer! Did you even notice? I got plastic surgery this morning!" I forced a fake smile and stomped hard on his foot. He yelped and stumbled back, but before I could walk away, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me toward him. "Why do your lips... look so good today?" His gaze locked on mine. "Go inside, or I'll shove you off this corridor myself and tell everyone you slipped because you're drunk!" I wrenched my wrist free. "Maybe it's the saree... or maybe I just had a little too much," he said, voice low, eyes still on my lips. "Fuck off!" I snapped, my patience gone. He tilted his head, a smirk creeping onto his face, hair falling over his forehead. "We hate each other... don't we?" "Yes! You asshole!" I yelled, turning to slide the key into my door. "Good! Just wanted to confirm... Oh, and Yams?" His voice followed me as I slammed the door. I froze, keys trembling in my hand. "You'll love the blow I have planned for you tomorrow." My stomach sank. I already knew it wasn't going to be good. Shit. He's definitely up to something wicked. Fucking Veer. *** Veer of Apt 302 and Yamini of Apt 303. Everyone in Sahaja Residency knows this combo. They hate each other. They thrive on getting under each other's skin. Since when? Since the day they met. What do they do? Endless pranks. Relentless revenge. Daily chaos.

The question is-where exactly is that line, and who's going to cross it first?

Elena Carter has never been uncertain about who she is. She observes. She listens. She decides - carefully, deliberately, without needing to explain herself to anyone. Adrian Blackwood builds his world the same way he approaches everything else - with structure, precision, and control. Every decision has a reason. Every step has a purpose. They come from families that understand ambition, expectation, and the quiet weight of both - where choices are rarely simple, and nothing exists in isolation. In a world where most things are negotiated, calculated, or assumed, they are the kind of people who still pause. Still question. Still choose. This is not a story about being carried by circumstance or pulled into something inevitable. It is about what happens when clarity meets expectation. When instinct resists what makes sense. When two people who are used to deciding for themselves are asked to consider something that was never entirely theirs to begin with. And the quiet, deliberate choices that follow.

The bond doesn't care what Ash believes. And the more he resists Riley... the harder it hits. Until ignoring him isn't freedom anymore - it's losing him. So now the question isn't are they soulmates? It's... Will Ash choose him - before Riley walks away for good? A chaotic, flirty, slow-burn queer romance full of tension, teasing, and two idiots falling in love while pretending they're not. ✔ Fully written | Updates Friday and Sunday at 19:00 CEST

they deserved better. & so did we. this is a collection of DaReya one shots - all those "what if" scenes we wished makers actually gave us, but instead they gave us sighs, melancholia mood, helplessness, hopelessness..... here, I'm rewriting the moments we buried in our heads & hearts, the scenes that should've happened, the chemistry they never explored enough, the dialogues we mentally scripted at 2am & never got... alternate scenes improved reality because sometimes... fanfiction gives justice to the scenes that the show refused to deliver ✨

Some stories don't begin by chance. They begin long before we even realize it. They begin in moments we consider ordinary - in glances that last a second longer, in questions that sound innocent but hide more than we expect. They begin in friendships that seem solid, yet carry small cracks within them, cracks that slowly widen over time. Rosalie had always believed her life was simple. Work, weekends, small rituals that gave her a sense of certainty. And Christine. Always Christine. She had been part of her life so naturally that Rosalie had never stopped to ask where she ended and where someone else began. Some boundaries remain invisible until they are crossed. And some feelings remain unspoken until they start to suffocate us. But then comes a moment. One meeting. One decision. And everything we once believed to be certain begins to slowly fall apart. This story is not just about love. It is about freedom. About the courage to leave. And about the truth that sometimes we must lose everything in order to finally find ourselves. And this story is just beginning.
