    Faith, Fate, and Falling Different prayers. Same sky. Eshaal Mirza doesn't have time for distractions. Between PCMB, NEET prep, and a family that measures love in percentages, every moment is calculated. She's 97.75% perfect. Close enough to second place. Close enough to carry the weight of a medical dream she can't afford to fail. Ivaan Rajput has it all-first rank, a confident smile, and a mind that sees the world in architectural blueprints. But his dream of designing his own future is colliding with his father's demand that he wear a doctor's coat instead. Behind the perfect 98.23% is a boy fighting a quiet war for his own identity, exhausted from pretending he wants the life he was handed. They were never supposed to notice each other beyond classroom rivalry. First rank versus second. The girl fighting for her medical dream versus the boy fighting to escape his father's. But between crowded corridors, library silences, and years of unspoken understanding, they start to see what no one else does: that they are both fighting battles no one talks about. It's not love at first sight. It's the slow, quiet ache of always knowing where the other person is in the room. It's shared notes and stolen glances. It's realizing that the person who challenges you the most might be the only one who truly understands the pressure. But when faith, family, and fate collide, they'll have to choose between the futures expected of them and the love they never planned for. A story about two people who found each other in the space between different prayers-and wondered if that was enough. "They stood beneath the same sky, Whispered different prayers,and wondered if fate would ever lead them to the same destination ."

    Dark. Unstoppable. Gone before you're ready. She sat on those university stairs like she belonged to no one and nothing, dark-eyed, unhurried, completely unbothered by the boy who couldn't stop looking at her. He was everything Karachi admired. She was everything Karachi overlooked. Zayan Ahmed had never met a girl who didn't notice him. Priya Mehra had spent her whole life being noticed for the wrong reasons. What began as late-night Nokia messages and stolen hours in old Saddar bookshops slowly became the most real thing either of them had ever felt. This is not a simple love story. Between them stands religion, family, and the impossible expectations of a world that loves its boundaries more than it loves its people. One of them always knew it couldn't last. The other loved too hard to care. A Girl Like Monsoon is a story about loving someone the world says you shouldn't and the devastating, beautiful, life-changing cost of doing it anyway. Some love stories leave you. Some leave a mark. This one did both.

    Some characters who were originally women are now men, as this is an Omegaverse world. Elizabeth -Elliot Jane -James Mary - Michael Lydia - Lloyd Katia -Kit Charlotte Lucas -Sheridan Lucas In a world where pheromones determine destiny and society is divided into alphas, omegas, and betas, Elliot Bennett is an anomaly. His scent of bitter chocolate and smoke bears no resemblance to the sweet fragrances of other omegas. But that is not his greatest secret. Elliot possesses psychometry, the ability to see the past through touch. A gift that could destroy his life if the Department of Genetic Anomalies ever found out. Fitzwilliam Darcy is a wealthy alpha with a reputation as an icy perfectionist. His scent of aged whiskey, damp earth, and dark honey radiates authority. To him, Elliot is nothing more than an "unstable omega" from a family without money or connections. Then one accidental touch shatters everything they believed. When pride collides with prejudice, when instinct contradicts reason, when the past threatens the present... which one will win?

    Life doesn't give you lemons. It throws them at you until you're bruised, cuts them open, and expects you to smile through the sting. For a long time, childhood felt like a safe blur. But the moment the dust settled on puberty and middle school arrived, the horizon violently shifted. Hit by the cold, unforgiving weight of reality, she quickly learned what it means to bleed, to take up space, and to forcedly mature into a woman within a fiercely masculine society that demands her silence. At home, the walls offer no shelter. Controlled by strict parents, her world is a quiet battleground of generational pressure and a broken heart that never quite heals. From the sting of a first crush who looks right through her, to friends who drift away like smoke, every connection leaves behind a fraction of the girl she used to be. She has the mind to be extraordinary, the brilliance to be successful, and a soul meant for bigger things. But genius means nothing when you are born into the wrong environment. SOURSWEET is a devastating, philosophical tragedy about the lottery of birth, the crushing weight of structural unfairness, and the quiet grief of a girl realizing that sometimes, no matter how hard you fight, the game was rigged before you even learned the rules. A Note from the Author: This story is carved from the skin of reality. It is a monument to every girl who had to grow up too fast, who loved too deeply in a home that didn't know how to hold her, and who carries the quiet, brilliant fire of a life she was never given the chance to fully live.

    Good girl? ...or just a girl carved into obedience? Bad girl? ...or a girl finally starving for freedom?

A family that hides cruelty behind "tradition." A marriage arranged with a man whose presence feels like a warning more than a promise. Whispers follow his name. Silence follows her questions. And the closer the wedding gets, the tighter the walls feel around her. Everyone expects her to fold. To bow. To break. But they forget- a girl forced into darkness learns to see what others can't. And when the truth about him-and about herself-starts to surface, Abhayaa will have to decide: Will she die as the good girl they created...

    In a world that demands perfection, two broken hearts find solace in imperfection. Aarav Sharma's life is a ledger of failures-in his father's eyes. An engineering student drowning in expectations, he hides his dreams of coding behind a mask of compliance. Nandini Rao, the "strong" daughter, paints her pain in secret colors, her art stifled by parents who mistake survival for strength. When loneliness collides their worlds, they forge a fragile pact: to be each other's truth in a society built on lies. But as parental ultimatums, stolen ambitions, and betrayals threaten to shatter them, Aarav and Nandini must choose between the futures they're handed and the fragile hope they've built together. Set against India's relentless race for success, The Unseen Battles is a hauntingly tender story of mental health, resilience, and the quiet revolution of being seen. "A masterpiece for anyone who's ever faked a smile."
