Clairvoyant nurse, Cala Jones maintains the daily chaos of Med Surg at Carolina Memorial with a full bladder, empty stomach, and a warped sense of humor alongside her two best friends. Newly single after eight years with her lousy, abusive, and cheating ex-boyfriend, Cala is headstrong on finding herself before finding love again. But when heart fluttering IT Specialist, Ethan Nance makes it his mission to be a part of Cala's daily chaos, finding herself, becomes more difficult than having to work short-staffed during a full moon. 

Ethan's extremely high intelligence doesn't neglect to recognize the conspicuous characteristics which make Cala blossom. Behaviors that strike Ethan as undeniably irresistible, intriguing, and inexplicable. Ethan's inclined need to protect makes it near impossible to stay away from Cala--even more impossible once he set his mind on discovering her darkened past. His determination to unravel the many mysteries of his Flower, causes Ethan to lose focus of reassuring that his own past never surfaces.

Don't Save Me, Stay | Paige Bueckers  by ellielovesuconnWBB
80 parts Complete Mature
Arianna Torres is used to surviving alone. It's not that she prefers isolation-it's that it's safer. After all, people leave. People hurt. And no one sticks around when they see the real her: the trauma, the mood swings, the scars from growing up with a drug-addicted father and a mother who overdosed in the bathroom while Arianna was the one to find her. Diagnosed with BPD and PTSD, Arianna is constantly balancing between craving love and being terrified of it. She plays for UConn now, but she's not there to make friends-she's there to earn her future and keep everyone at arm's length. Until she breaks. After an intense away game triggers a panic attack followed by a near-complete shutdown, Arianna is put on temporary leave and forced into a recovery plan that includes one thing she never asked for: support. And the one assigned to check in on her, stay with her, and-God forbid-care about her? Paige Bueckers. The golden girl of college basketball. Charismatic, soft-spoken, patient. Everything Arianna isn't. What starts as reluctant forced proximity becomes something far more complex. Paige doesn't try to fix her. She just... stays. She doesn't ask for Arianna's secrets. She simply offers warm silences, movie nights, and shared playlists. The closer they get, the more Arianna starts to crack-not in a bad way, but in the kind of way that feels like healing. Like maybe being seen doesn't have to hurt. Maybe touch doesn't have to burn. Maybe someone can stay. But falling for someone when you're still learning how to exist is dangerous. Arianna's self-sabotage runs deep. Her fear of abandonment is a wildfire. And Paige, despite her calm, carries her own quiet grief-injuries, pressure, and the weight of being everyone's hope. As they navigate late nights and raw confessions, tangled blankets and bruised hearts, Arianna must face the hardest truth of all: What if love isn't about being saved, but about letting someone stay even when you're at your worst?
The Love That Haunts by ERWatson
23 parts Complete
The love you ruin doesn't just fade, it becomes the anchor of your entire life, dragging you under with every passing year. For Ethan, adult life is a landscape of self-inflicted misery, defined by the crippling silence of his anxiety and the knowledge that he deliberately destroyed the one perfect thing he ever held. It all started at a freezing, anonymous church camp where sixteen-year-old Ethan fell instantly and devastatingly in love with Brooklyn. Their connection was a blinding sanctuary, a fierce, protective bubble of first love that was utterly, beautifully real. But the purity of that love couldn't withstand the pressure of Ethan's own darkness. Beneath the surface of their perfect union, jealousy and agonizing insecurity curdled every promise. Ethan didn't just love Brooklyn; he tried to possess her. He built their world on manipulation, empty promises, and a suffocating need for control, until the foundations of their fierce love finally gave way. Years later, Ethan is tormented by the ghost of the man he was and the indelible scars he left on the only person who ever truly saw him. He knows there is no forgiveness for the way he drove Brooklyn away, yet he is bound by the desperate, futile hope that he could somehow go back to that snow filled night. The Love That Haunts is a raw, emotional reckoning with the consequences of self-sabotage. Can a man defined by the ruin he caused ever truly heal, or is he destined to be haunted forever by the precious love he violently broke?

In a world where friendship blurs into forbidden love and forgotten memories hide painful truths, Dayana finds herself caught in a tangled web of emotion and deceit. Once just a quiet girl with a loyal best friend and a secret crush, Dayana's life begins to crumble when rumors spread through the campus rumors that she and Louise, her lifelong friend, share more than just friendship. As gossip burns through the halls, Dayana's bond with Ethan, the boy who once made her heart race, falls apart. Ethan's coldness wounds her deeper than the whispers ever could, especially when he confirms his relationship with Catherine, the girl who's always envied Dayana's quiet grace. But behind the comfort of Louise's arms lies something darker. His gentle touch hides obsession. His comfort masks a stolen truth. For Louise isn't just her friend he's the reason Dayana can't remember her past, the reason Ethan's love feels distant and strange. Years ago, he took everything from Ethan their childhood memories, their engagement, their bond and replaced it with his own false warmth. Now, even as Dayana weeps in his arms, she doesn't know she's being held by the very person who destroyed the life she was meant to have. And Ethan? He burns in silence. He knows the truth and the truth bleeds every time he looks at her. But with Dayana's heart wrapped in lies, his only choice is to protect her... even if it means letting her go. In this storm of secrets, love becomes a haunting, and every smile hides a betrayal waiting to be revealed.
