Slow-build Stories

Genre: Lesbian Romance | CEO x Assistant | Slow Burn | Office Tension l 9 years Age Gap She runs an empire with ice in her veins. Her new assistant runs on caffeine, chaos, and far too much heart. What happens when sunshine starts to melt steel? Margot Blake is everything the headlines say: cold, brilliant, untouchable. The youngest CEO in luxury branding history, she built Blake & Co. from sheer ambition - and froze out anything resembling a personal life along the way. Enter Chloe Quinn - bright, bubbly, and dangerously persistent. She's not the type of assistant Margot usually hires... or keeps. But something about Chloe's chaotic charm, awkward honesty, and maddening optimism starts to crack the ice Margot has spent years perfecting. They're opposites in every way. One has walls higher than the skyline; the other believes no heart is too frozen to warm. But in a world of power plays, secrets, and boardroom battles, falling for your assistant isn't just reckless - it could ruin everything. Slow burn. High tension. Sharp suits. Stolen glances. And a love neither of them saw coming.

Everything that ever happened to Grace McNeil can be traced back to one moment in time. The day she officially died. From that fracture came five lives, all changed beyond repair: the dead who were left behind, the traitor who walked away, the guilty who could never forget, the victor who would eventually pay dearly, and the girl left frozen, waiting for the past to return. S.H.I.E.L.D. was meant to be a fresh start-a way out of the ghosts of her cloudy past. Instead, it became the beginning of something darker: a web of lies, old wars, and choices that refuse to stay buried. Yet even now, something remains. Something the rot could not corrupt. Someone worth fighting for. - Steve rogers x FEM OC 1998 - 2025 IM RE - WRITING THE ENDING

She is the Communicator of the New Area. The Communicators do the one job other humans are too afraid to do, communicating and preventing violence between wolves and humans. "My name is Alara. I'm the new Communicator. This is my first day. I-" "I know what Communicators are all about," he interrupts. "I've met many over the years. You speak of understanding and cooperation while your guns are loading behind your backs." "That's not-" "Save your diplomatic bullshit for someone who hasn't heard it before." His voice remains calm, which somehow makes it more terrifying. "I want the human who killed one of our own." "We have laws-" "Your laws." The contempt is undisguised now. "Your laws that somehow always find humans innocent of crimes against wolves. Your laws that punish a wolf's defense of territory as aggression. Your laws that treat us as animals when it suits you and as criminals when it doesn't." This is the first book in the series, so please don't expect anything perfect just yet. It's a first draft and a work in progress :)

This book is based off the game character wise. this book will have very little smut in it because im bad at writing gay stories for some reason probably because im not part of the LGBT community but that doesn't mean I don't support them! I will do my best. spelling will be off because im horrible at it but I will do my best! warnings will be at the top of the first chapter of every story, smut chapters will be labled Smut. please enjoy!

After losing the love of his life, Wen Lang devoted his remaining years to raising their child, Gao Lele. When Wen Lang turned fifty, he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, caused by his profound attachment to his late mate, Gao Tu, who had died almost two decades earlier. Since then, Wen Lang had been making arrangements to leave his son in the best possible conditions before his own passing. He was ready for the end. As he closed his eyes for the last time with Lele holding his hand, he never imagined that when he'd open them again, he would be back in his nineteen-year-old body. He awoke in his old room in Country P, to his Alpha father's voice yelling his name.

Hydra's deal lead to distraction. A young girl, who's unfamiliar with the world, finds herself in a situation where she must chose, between the good she feels and the "good" she knows. Thank God she's not alone this time. A Bucky Barnes/OC, slow burn story.

This is a high-stakes premise. Combining the "Golden Cage" trope for Jennie with Lisa's gritty detective world creates a perfect friction for a slow burn. The conflict between Jisoo (the manipulator of digital truth) and Rosé (the defender of legal truth) adds a fantastic layer of tension.

Malika Danai is pressure. Friendly, social, and loved by all, Malika thrives in college and is often seen as a mirage - seemingly real and attainable but disappears when approached. She's a party girl to the core. Loves to drink, flirt, and explore with her best friends, Ayana and Isabella. Her beauty is undeniable. With curly black hair cascading over her shoulders and golden-brown skin that glows no matter where she's at, Malika's presence is impossible to ignore. Her dark brown eyes often sparks with mischief, and her full two-toned lips often curves into teasing grins that hints at secrets she rarely shares. Malika excels at a lot of things but she was never the study type. She prayed the night before exams and hoped that her grades would at least give her a passing score and somehow, that always worked. Until now... Her grades are barely holding on- good enough to pass, but not good enough for a sorority like the Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA). She wants to join. No she needs to. It's the only way she can prove to her mother that she's worth it. And she'll do whatever it takes. Even if it means casting her pride aside to get help from the boy who loathes her existence. Meanwhile... Theo Sinclair is a weapon. An academic weapon that nobody can beat. Coming from an old money family where the expectations and bars are set high, Theo surpasses them all and is often pushed towards greatness by his family. Yet he has a big flaw: boredom. Because of his uncaring attitude towards everything and everyone around him, Theo is often alone. Deliberately avoiding attention and validation from peers; he thrives in the silence and rhythm of his own scheduled routines. He has only one rule; 'Never let myself feel things I can't control.' To him, parties are ratchet and vile. An enigma vastly contrasting his reverence for solitude, silence, and carefully ordered thoughts. So when he's pushed into an unwanted arrangement, he resents the intrusion because slowly, his rule...

Ever since she was a child, Melody has dreamed of following in her famous mother's footsteps and becoming a singer. But there's one problem-her voice. Convinced she doesn't have what it takes, Melody starts to lose faith in her dream. Everything changes when she crosses paths with people from a completely different world than her own. Through new friendships, raw talent, and a fresh take on music, Melody begins to discover that maybe her voice isn't the problem-it's how she's been taught to hear it. A/N: I've been inspired by a Tumblr post from years ago. If there's similarities with other stories, that's may be why.
