Neighborhoods Stories

"She was his once-in-a-lifetime kind of love, and he was the reason she still believed in it." Trope Age gap Forbidden love childhood crush Slow burn She fell first,he fell harder Happy ending

Mei and Jian grow up next door to each other, in a neighborhood where gates are left open and boundaries are easily crossed. As children, their world is small and bright made of shared afternoons, imagined kingdoms, and the comfort of knowing someone is always there. Jian watches over Mei without thinking about it, stepping in before she asks, standing close without touching. Even then, he learns how to hold back. As they grow older, the shape of their closeness begins to change. Words become harder. Feelings deepen, heavier and more fragile. Jian carries his affection quietly, believing that loving Mei means protecting her - from uncertainty, from disruption, from himself. He chooses restraint again and again, offering care in subtle gestures rather than confessions he fears might fracture what they already have. Mei grows up sensing what is held back. She feels it in the space Jian leaves between them; in the things he never claims. As she changes, becoming more certain of herself, the closeness they share begins to ache - familiar, steady, and increasingly impossible to ignore. When adulthood arrives, Jian is anchored in the workshop, grease-stained hands steady with responsibility, while Mei stands on the threshold of elsewhere. Between them lies a history of shared years and unspoken longing, held together by restraint and the fear of altering what has always been enough. This is a story about growing up together and apart, about love that waits, and about whether two people who have spent years circling each other can finally step forward before time asks them to let go.

One fence. Two strangers. And a love that wasn't part of the plan. When Jahanvi Sharma returns to her grandmother's old seaside house, she wants quiet-space to paint, to heal, to forget a heartbreak she never talks about. What she doesn't expect is a new neighbor who believes boundaries are better kept intact. Samarth Khanna is disciplined, ambitious, and determined to keep his life uncomplicated. Emotions are distractions. People are temporary. And the fence between their houses feels like the perfect metaphor-until arguments turn into conversations, and proximity begins to blur the lines he's spent years building. As banter softens into something deeper, secrets surface, loyalties are tested, and a powerful manipulator threatens to tear more than just a house apart. When silence hurts more than truth, Jahanvi and Samarth must decide whether love is worth choosing-even when it costs them something. One Fence Away is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance about trust, courage, and finding connection in the spaces we try hardest to protect. _______________________________________________ Tropes: •enemies to lovers •neighbours to lovers •slow burn •emotional availability •found family •she fell first •small town _______________________________________________
