    What happens when two childhood best friends accidentally become husband and wife? Meet Siddhitara "Sunny" Rawat (29) and Vikramaditya "Adi" Singh (28)-childhood besties, professional nuisance creators, and lifelong partners in crime... just not in the romantic sense. Having grown up in the same neighborhood in Delhi, they've spent nearly three decades roasting each other, stealing food off each other's plates, crashing family functions together, and knowing exactly which buttons to push to annoy the other. Romance? Absolutely not. In fact, the very idea makes them cringe. Unfortunately for them, their parents have other plans. After years of watching Sunny reject every eligible bachelor and Adi magically find flaws in every prospective bride, both families reach the same brilliant conclusion: Why keep searching when the perfect match has been right in front of us all along? Before they know it, Sunny and Adi are cornered into the one proposal neither of them can wriggle out of. Desperate to escape the endless "When are you getting married?" lectures, they strike a deal. "Let's just marry each other. Keep everyone happy. How hard can it be?" Famous last words. Because living together is nothing like growing up together. Suddenly, there's only one bed on vacations, one kitchen to fight over, one family constantly asking for grandchildren, and way too many moments where their fake-married act starts looking... suspiciously real. Between sarcastic banter, chaotic family dinners, accidental jealousy, and a growing number of "Why is my best friend looking so attractive today?" moments, Sunny and Adi realize they've stumbled into the one situation they never saw coming. After all, falling for your childhood best friend was never part of the plan. But then again... Neither was getting married.

    A misdelivered love letter meant for the school's cheerleader lands in her twin brother's locker, sparking an unexpected friendship that forces Oliver to face family secrets, his identity, and his growing feelings for the one boy he was never supposed to love. *** Oliver Grant wasn't trying to fall for Max Ellis. He had one job: slip a love letter into locker 166 and finally confess to Kate Ellis - the cool, untouchable cheerleader of his teenage dreams. Instead, it ends up in locker 168. Which belongs to Max Ellis - Kate's twin brother. Broody. Quiet. Star football player. Definitely not the person Oliver was supposed to fall for. And the worst part? Since that day, Max Ellis has been way too interested in Oliver Grant - showing up, sitting too close, smiling like he knows exactly what he's doing. The more Oliver tries to avoid him... ...the harder Max makes it to walk away. Now Oliver's life is spiraling into awkward hallway run-ins, mixed signals, and a growing suspicion that maybe - just maybe - the wrong locker wasn't a mistake at all.

𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐇𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐓𝐨 𝐇𝐞𝐫." People feared Alessandro Rossi. Not the normal kind of fear. Not the kind where people whispered rumors and moved on with their lives. No. They feared him the way people feared death itself. Governments avoided speaking against him. Powerful men lowered their eyes when he entered a room. News channels never mentioned his name unless they wanted accidents to suddenly happen. Alessandro Rossi was power. Darkness. Violence wrapped in expensive black suits. And everybody knew one thing about him: He had no weakness. Until her. ★★★★★ "Sir, the meeting is ready." Alex didn't answer immediately. He stood silently beside the massive glass window of his penthouse in New York, one hand inside his pocket while the city lights burned beneath him like stars. Cold. Untouchable. Dangerous. Matteo waited near the door carefully. Even after years beside him, Alex's silence could still make people nervous. Then finally- "Where is she?" His deep voice filled the room quietly. Matteo sighed internally. Of course. Not business. Not weapons. Not the politicians downstairs begging for his partnership. Her. "She's asleep, boss." Alex's eyes softened slightly. Only slightly. Enough to shock anyone who noticed. "She ate?" "Yes." "She took her medicine?" "Yes." "She cried again?" Matteo hesitated for one second too long. Alex slowly turned around. And suddenly the room felt colder. "She missed you," Matteo admitted carefully. A dangerous silence followed. Then Alex grabbed his coat immediately. "The meeting?" Matteo asked. "Cancel it." "But?-" "I said cancel it."

    Jungkook and Aria have been friends for years. Just friends. Nothing more than friends. Or so they keep telling themselves. And then all it takes is one weekend away with all their besties and things begin to change. #1 jungkookie #1 jeon #4 jk #4 btssmut #5 btsjk #11 btsarmy ** Amore is the Italian word for love and it can be used for romantic love or for family and friends. In this story there is focus on the 'more' part of the word, and maybe their friendship will lead to more than just friends and eventually, amore too ** Welcome to my new FF featuring the fabulous and sexy JK. His hyung will be a bigger part than my previous stories and JK is in his mid 20s. Definitely 18+ although it eases into it, don't let the innocent face on the book cover fool you though. I'm trying something new in the hope I can update more regularly, aiming for chapters of 2000-3500 words in length and it will be a mid length story once done. I always love to see people are reading and hear what they think so feel free to leave me comments and a like is always appreciated too! I haven't written a friends to lovers trope on this account and it has a younger crew of characters so it has a different feel from some of my older character stories. I'm enjoying writing it and hopefully you enjoy reading it. So, let's get started!

    Jungkook and Taehyung have been inseparable since childhood. Their parents are friends, their lives are intertwined, and being close has always felt natural. Jungkook is pretty, bratty, and far too comfortable stealing Taehyung's hoodies, sitting in his lap, and teasing him without a second thought. Taehyung has always tolerated it. Always protected him. Always stayed close. But as they grow older, the way Taehyung looks at Jungkook starts to change. And Jungkook slowly realizes that the boy who's been by his side his entire life might want something more than friendship.

    What happens when your first heartbreak becomes your biggest distraction? --- Everyone at Henley University knows Logan Adams, the charming 6'3 star forward with an easy smile and eyes you could drown in. But I remember the boy before all of that. The one who watched Marvel movies with me, who fell on the ice more times than he'd ever admit, and who promised we'd always be friends. That was years ago. I haven't seen him since our high school graduation, long after we stopped being friends. Now I'm transferring to Henley, and working as a student medical assistant for the hockey team. For the first time in years, I'll be around Logan... The boy who broke my heart without ever realizing it was in his hands. ****The Henley Boys is a series of standalones. Before the Buzzer is the first book in the series, but you can choose to read in any order!***** ***100K reads on February 6, 2026 ***150K reads on February 24, 2026

When the remaining survivors vote to undertake the perilous cross-country journey, he attempts to deter them every step of the way.

    Callista Black never fit. She carved space for herself anyway, unbothered by the symmetry she ruined. She didn't care who loved her, or who didn't. She loved them all anyway. Loudly. Shamelessly. Confidently. She's the kind of person you would want gone and miss the loudest when they aren't around. Not quite a ball of sunshine. But undeniably a stubborn, aggressively affectionate, moody, and catastrophically clumsy form of entertainment. Callista Black: Daughter of Regulus Black. Tongue of Sirius Black. And a heart that, unfortunately, doesn't know when to stay out of trouble. Including a certain dragon tamer. *cough* Charlie you handsome man *cough* Life was fine, normal even, if you were merciful. Until Sirius Black broke out of prison. Everyone thought it was vengeance. Callista wondered if it was loneliness. The one where Sirius Black meets his niece. "Two Broken Misfits, broken just enough to fit right." [Charlie Weasley × Hufflepuff OC] Because - Dragons, muscles, questionable decisions and whatnot. *Slowburn, btw. Friends to Lovers because apparently I enjoy suffering. _______ The Harry Potter universe belongs to J. K. Rowling. Callista Black is mine. This story is written for fun, so you might as well enjoy it. _______ 1st May, 2026: somehow hit #1 in a few tags (remuslupin, charlieweasley, billweasley?? yeah I don't get it either)

    "Do you know what you do to me?" - "𝐈 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤.. 𝐌𝐚𝐲𝐛𝐞." - "Maybe?" - "𝐍𝐨, 𝐈'𝐦 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧." UPDATING AS MUCH AS I POSSIBLY CAN!! Manon carries a crush she never names out loud, built from moments of closeness, shared routines, and an awareness she can't seem to turn off. Lara, confident and unassuming, remains oblivious. Not careless, just unaware. Moving through their shared world without realizing how deeply she's already rooted herself in someone else's thoughts. Everyone else sees it long before Lara does. The lingering looks, the way Manon softens around her, the pauses that say more than words ever could. It's not just about restraint. It's also about being seen without being understood, and about the quiet ache of standing just a breath away from the truth. That truth? It's love.
