Modern Stories

Sitara Mehra has one obsession: Samar Kapoor, the superstar cricketer she's been obsessed with for years. She knows his interviews by heart, can quote his stats in her sleep, and has dreamed of meeting him... though she'd never imagined it would actually happen. When Sitara starts her master's at university, she doesn't expect her roommate Meher to be anyone special. That is, until she discovers Meher is Samar's cousin. Close friendship, playful secrets, and shared stories pull Sitara closer to the world she's only admired from afar. Little does she know, Samar has been silently noticing her long before they met, captivated by her genuine love for him, her quirks, and the little things that make her... Sitara. From awkward meet-cutes to flustered encounters, stolen glances, and the heart-throbbing realization that her fantasy might not be just a dream, this is a story about love that's cute, chaotic, and completely irresistible. Tropes: • Cricketer BF x Commoner GF • Cute, simple love • Celebrity love • She fell first, he fell harder • Modern-day romance

All was going well until...I turned thirteen and suddenly, I grew an obsession with Lukas Pickett, the eldest son of the Picketts. It'd have remained a secret that I was willing to take to the grave, but I messed up when I snuck into his room, driven by lust, to masturbate. As if catching me in the act wasn't shameful enough, I witnessed the fierce and cold side of him that I never knew existed as he cursed at me from his room. "I never want your homo ass around me, ever!" Lukas had screamed throwing me out of the room half-naked

A student. A CEO. Both forced into a date by their meddling best friends. Shinobu Kocho, sharp-tongued med student with no time for nonsense, agrees to one blind date just to get her best friend off her back. Giyu Tomioka, stoic CEO of a rising tech company, does the same-reluctantly. Neither expects anything beyond awkward small talk and a quick escape. But when silence feels oddly comfortable and sarcasm meets deadpan in perfect rhythm, they find something rare: each other... tolerable. Sometimes, that's exactly how something unexpected begins.

(～﹃～)~zZ For some A situation where you were relaxing and winding down in your living room, turned into one where you were getting dragged around in every single universe by anime characters. The twist? They're slowly getting more obsessed with you. Reader is depicted as a female. OOC to be expected. (learning author) TW : Kidnapping, mention of blood, killing, obsessive romance, throw up, weapons, self harm. NOTE : Yandere behavior should not be romanticized or seen as normal. In this story, some characters may act in ways that are possessive, obsessive, or even disturbing.. and that's intentional. It's meant to show how unsettling yandere traits can truly be. If you're young or impressionable, please understand: this kind of behavior is not healthy or acceptable in real life. Let it stay where it belongs. In fiction. (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و There will be no sort of romanticized pedophilia, incest, or any of that sort. If a character is too old, it'll be platonic. I apologize as well if I'm unable to depict the character well, because I'm not that good with analysing the characters yet. ib: @Chrollosdirtyballsss Happy reading.

As the cruel, uncompromising, and terrifyingly brilliant CEO of Bloom Press, Roman Alvarez terrifies everyone-including her new assistant editor, Kaalia Amoretta. But on a work trip to the tropical coast of South Asia, under Kerala's storm-soaked skies, professional distance dissolves into something more dangerous. What should have stayed strictly business becomes intimate, charged, and impossible to forget. *** [LONGER VERSION] Roman Alvarez is infamous in the publishing world: cruel, uncompromising, and brilliant enough to get away with it. As the first Black and female CEO of Bloom Press, she has built her career on steel walls and impossible standards. Kaalia Amoretta, the new assistant editor hired to support her, expects a tyrant. What she doesn't expect is the quiet softness beneath Roman's sharp edges ... or the spark that flares every time their eyes meet. When Bloom's newest release hinges on securing a reclusive poet's anthology, Roman and Kaalia go on a "working vacation" to India. But what should have been a straightforward business trip unravels into something far more dangerous: monsoon-soaked nights, shared secrets, and a slow-burning tension neither woman can ignore. Under tropical skies and an old woman's poetry on love and colonialism, their professional boundaries blur, their walls crack, and a tender, terrifying love begins to take shape. But as they return to New York-with media storms rising, a billion-dollar lawsuit looming, and family expectations closing in-the real question emerges: Can a love born far from reality survive the world waiting for them? *** A sweeping, sapphic, slow-burn romance and the kind of love worth risking everything.
