Maya is a twenty-three-year-old software engineering intern by day and an aspiring novelist by night. Her life is a careful balance of debugging code, dodging deadlines, and trying not to let her drafts rot in a forgotten folder. But one late evening, a wrong number changes everything. Sam, a twenty-six-year-old resident doctor drowning in shifts and caffeine, accidentally texts Maya, thinking he's messaging his ex about pizza. Instead, he finds himself in a strangely comforting back-and-forth with a stranger who actually laughs at his sleep-deprived wit. What begins as a random midnight text quickly spirals into something more-shared jokes, confessions typed in the quiet hours, and a growing connection that neither expected.

Wolf, a freshman college student, moves back to his birth country (Canada) with the intention of getting to know his Mother, a woman who had lived a life of self destruction, ultimately resulting in him being removed from her care at a young age and going to live with his Dad in Korea. Now an adult, Wolf has decided to reconnect with his mother, hoping to fill the void he felt for most of his life, despite having a loving father and warm family. But when Wolf arrives in Canada and knocks on his mother's door, he quickly realizes that things are much more complicated than he had thought. His hopes are soon replaced with new responsibilities.

What starts as a flirty, late-night DM conversation becomes something deeper, as Freya navigates attention she never asked for and Malachi struggles to show her the real person behind the fame. Between tour buses, backstage chaos, and quiet, stolen moments, they'll have to decide if a connection born by accident can survive reality.

Random AU's for the Ineffable Husbands that either come out of my mind or got inspired by other AU's in the community (if that is the case, I'll specify from where and who the original AU came from). Chapter lengths may vary from very short to very long, I don't plan on giving myself a minimum or maximum word count for this. Even if one goes on for very long and probably should be broken up into several parts, I'll refrain from doing so, to keep it as a literal one-shot. So this should be fun. (Book says "Completed", but that will only be official when the line below says "Word Count" and not "Current Word Count". If it still has "Current", that means there's still more AU ideas I haven't gotten to, but will someday. If you like how I write the ineffable spouses, add this book to your library so you're notified when a new one-shot comes out!) Current Word Count: 310,200 (55 one-shots)

Some stories don't begin with love. They begin with running. Running from hospital corridors that smell like endings. Running from questions no one should have to answer so young. Running from a future that suddenly feels too short. The Leaf is a quiet, slow-burning story set in the misty lanes of Shimla - where nights stretch longer than days and silence often speaks louder than people. It follows a girl who lives between moments, sketching life as if she's afraid it might disappear if she stops looking. And a boy who laughs easily, carries lightness on the surface, but hides a childhood weight he never learned how to name. They don't meet in dramatic ways. They collide. They pause. They sit in silence. Between late-night cafés, half-finished noodles, classic movies, empty roads, and sunrises that feel like borrowed miracles, two strangers begin to share something unnamed - not love, not friendship, but a fragile understanding that some connections don't need promises to be real. This is a story about: moments that don't last but stay forever conversations that happen after midnight art made to survive loneliness and the strange comfort of being seen without being explained The Leaf isn't about how long a story lasts. It's about how deeply it touches before it falls.

Anirudh Goswami thinks flowers are useless. Overrated and meaningless. They wilt too soon and leave behind a sad mess of molty leaves and brittle stems. And for what? A ridiculous price tag that makes his eye twitch. Spare him the drama; he's content on living a flora free life. That's until the HR orders him to pick up a bouquet from the florist down the street and now he is forced into the obnoxiously colorful world of Lavanya Majumder. Sweet shopkeeper, sunlight in human form-she has a lot of names. On top of that, she loves flowers. Adores them, worships them; so much so, that she has made a living out of them. Anirudh wants nothing to do with her. But fate keeps shoving them together and soon he realizes, its not the flowers that he should avoid-it's her.

That Guy From History Do you ever just look at someone and go 'hmm how have i never noticed them before' that was what it was like when i finally recognized that guy from history. Every last period for the past two months this boy sat directly infront of me and we exchanged exactly zero words until the accident. He was gorgeous but what happens when you mix a guilty conscience and good looks.

In a city that never stops, he learned to pause for her. A spilled coffee and a late morning - that's how Ananya's ordinary world tilts just a little ☕ Amid Mumbai's rushing streets, loud family laughter, and festival lights, she meets a man as calm as he is complicated. What begins with irritation slowly turns into soft glances, balcony breezes, and a heart learning to feel without fear 🦋 Between chai breaks, playful chaos, and quiet moments that stretch a second too long, love arrives the way it always does - unplanned, messy, and gentle 🤍 A warm Indian slow-burn where home isn't a place, but a person.

"okay. then you do something for me." "sure. of course," the girl says, her jhumkas glimmering in the daylight. "name it." smriti pretends to think. "buy me a chai." "a chai?" "yeah. why not?" she's had worse ideas. that's for sure. there was nothing wrong with having a cup of chai, especially if it counted as fan out reach. this was her being kind and grateful, not making up excuses to keep talking to the slightly crazy, but mostly sweet girl that barrelled into her. "buy a chai for the greatest cricketer in india...right..." she whispers under her breath, wringing her hands together. she looks back up at smriti.

In Greytown, nothing is ever black and white. Made up of six districts, The Grey Bayou has always been a place where evil runs rampant and citizens find themselves deprived of justice. And no one knows that better than Kenya Manefield and his family. Returning home from college, Kenya seeks to make things better for his hometown and for those closest to him. He soon finds out, however, that cleaning up his city is a tall order. One that consists of rooting out political corruption, facing sociopathic criminals, and discovering mysteries that are deep-seeded in Greytown AND his family's history. Before he can get any traction going in his mission, Kenya winds up realizing-with almost at a great cost to his life-that conventional methods won't work against the sinister kingpin of Greytown who calls himself The Orca. In order to win, he'll have to take on a more radical approach. One that will catapult him into the realm of the animal kingdom-giving birth to a new superhero-and forever changing Kenya's world as he knows it. For Kenya's father Malcolm, he's been a witness to a mission like this once before, and has no intentions of seeing a second act. But knowing his son, Malcolm won't have a choice but to aid Kenya along the way to keep him alive.
