A Mock Between Us!
Aarav and Meera never planned for forever. At 29, they were just two people casually navigating modern love-swiping right, dodging commitment, and avoiding the dreaded "so where is this going?" conversation. But fate had other plans. What started as something light and effortless became something deeper, something scarier. Soon, late-night texts turned into silent arguments, inside jokes turned into unspoken fears, and the question they had spent years avoiding became impossible to ignore. Love isn't just about falling. It's about staying. Through emotional distance. Through the mess of everyday life. Through the quiet doubts that creep in when the honeymoon fades. Aarav and Meera have a choice-fight for what they have or let it slip into the "almost" pile of their past. But love, like life, is never that simple.

King Me
Sometimes things happen to us that we can't control. Sometimes we fight back. Sometimes it doesn't work and the consequences are more than we bargained for. We fall in love with people we shouldn't, go back to people we shouldn't. Make excuses for things that we shouldn't. Fight and manipulate those around us, for what? For the power and the glory. It's the year 3XXX and Royalty and politics just got a little more interesting. * This story contains many triggering events please don't read if you feel it may have a negative affect on you*Complete
