You were half expecting it to be a dismissal, but upon reading the first few lines, you realised that it was an apology note.
Dear Miss Y/N,
I apologise for my actions at dinner last night. I was out of order and you have my sincerest apologies. It has just been a while since anyone told me straight as you did, and though I reacted childishly, I'll admit it was refreshing.
If I haven't scared you off for good, perhaps you might allow me to make it up to you tonight? If you agree, I will be waiting in the conservatory at 7.
-Rafe
****************************
A year ago, Rafe Adler died on board The Fancy, 15 years into an adventure that claimed his life. But he's back.
After barely surviving the sinking of the ship, Rafe was saved, but severely injured, leaving him unable to walk. He gave up.
Until Y/N stepped into his life.
Running from an abusive past, Y/N takes the too-good-to-be-true job on the other side of the world, seeing it as an escape from the horrors she'd faced at home. She just wants to work and forget about her failed love life, and any hope of a future one.
Then enters Rafe Adler. Still traumatised from his near death experience, he has shut down, refusing to try for anything anymore, but Y/N sees the hint of a spark in him. Deciding she'll fight for him, she pushes him to live, maybe healing her own heart along the way.
Can the two find strength in each other, or will their pasts rip them apart forever?

ππππππππ πΆπππ πͺπππππ was raised in a world where everything could be fixed - bones, reputations, mistakes. The daughter of a world-renowned surgeon, she's spent her entire life being polished into perfection. Controlled. Calculated. Unshakable. Until she meets π·ππ πͺπππππΓ π·ππππ ππ. Barcelona's prodigy. Ruthless, disciplined, untouchable. He knows her last name before she even opens her mouth - Carter - the same name that ended his best friend's career. The same name he's spent years hating. She's never met anyone who looked at her like that: like she's a crime that still needs punishing. And when fate throws them into the same university program, the war begins. He humiliates her in class. She dismantles him in front of professors. He mocks her privilege. She exploits his temper. Every word burns. Every silence bruises. Every look feels too close, too sharp, too dangerous. But hate doesn't stay clean for long. And when an injury forces him to rely on her hands, the war turns into something impossible to stop. The one person he swore he'd never need. The one girl who could destroy him for real. π»ππ‘π ππππ’πβπ‘ π‘βππ π‘ππππ‘βππ. π»ππππππ π€πππ π‘πππ π‘βππ πππππ‘.
The Girl Who Made Life Worth Living
Finn has been the man of the house since he was a child. Simply surviving, he doesn't want any more responsibility than he's already burdened with at 18 - until he helps a mysterious abused girl he met near his new workplace. His caring and protective nature quickly brings her into his life but their budding relationship falls apart just as fast, until an incident and the subsequent events make them slowly come back together. Later, when Finn loses the only other thing he cares about in life he's faced with the choice of driving her away or being vulnerable enough to depend on her. Maybe she can finally make him feel taken care of back; the one thing that he's always truly needed. A more mature and healthy rewrite of a book I started writing when I was 14, inspired by the trashy, dramatic, emo love stories I was obsessed with on this platform a decade ago. I was dealing with a lot at the time so I came up with this book idea, where both main characters have dramatized aspects of myself in them, as a way to make myself feel lovable, so writing this now is a nostalgic and creative way of looking back, processing, and letting go of the emotions I was going through as an adolescent. I hope you enjoy!

The Space in Between
*** New chapter every Thursday ! *** None of them meant to hurt each other. That's the part people forget about slow-burning disasters, they don't begin with betrayal. They begin with kindness. With glances held a second too long. With private jokes that start feeling more like confessions. With one moment that could have meant nothing, and instead, meant everything. They were four people who once shared everything: the same group chat, the same half-formed dreams, the same late nights on rooftops and in lecture halls, talking about who they might become. And then the lines blurred. Someone kissed someone they shouldn't have. Someone stayed silent when it mattered most. Someone joked instead of admitting what they felt. And someone kept everyone else emotionally afloat while quietly sinking. There was no fight. No scandal. Just a slow drift into emotional ambiguity, a friendship that eroded in glances, apologies, and timing that never aligned. Now, years later, they've been asked to build an art exhibit together. The theme? Memory. It's poetic, in a cruel way. They're supposed to create something honest while still pretending they've moved on. But the truth is still there, buried beneath words unsaid, under a kiss that shouldn't have happened, inside jokes that now sting, and a friendship that still aches. This isn't a love story. This is what came after. This is the space in between.
Drakeness from small Beginnings
So, this is my first fan fiction to post. It's about the fortune hunter Jo Sullivan, daughter to Victor Sullivan, who joins Nathan on his last adventure to save his brother. She and Nate knew each other since they were teenagers and grew up together. They started looking for Avery's treasure in Panama, when Jo fell in love with Rafe. After their brake-up, Jo and Nathan experienced three dangerous treasure-hunts, which they both enjoyed. By now, they agreed to stop hunting treasures and are living in an apartment with Elena. Until Sam shows up and one last adventure begins. And maybe their friendship will even become love. A Nathan x OC fan fiction based on Uncharted 4: A Thief's End I'm sorry, that the description is so bad, but the story will be better. I promise. There will be some violence and swearing in the story, but not more than in the game. -All rights belong to Naughty Dog and all the other amazing creators of the Uncharted series.

HeArTlESs BuT YoUrS Book 1
β οΈ Content Warning This story is not for everyone. It explores dark emotions, trauma, abuse, and complicated relationships. Some scenes may be disturbing or emotionally heavy. It's about love, guilt, loss, and the painful ways people learn to forgive. If you're looking for something light, this isn't it. But if you want to feel something real - keep reading. When scandal strips me of my name, I'm sent away to a fog-covered mansion in the hills - a place meant to bury noise, not memories. My father calls it redemption. I call it exile. But the mansion isn't silent. It watches. It listens. And inside it waits Yahir, the boy who once hated me - and now can't seem to look away. Some loves ruin you quietly, like frost seeping through glass. Others devour you whole. As I try to rebuild what's left of me, the world keeps shifting around us: Freed and Volkan, trapped in a cycle of love and violence they can't escape. Ashar and Laith, bound by loyalty and ghosts of the past. And me - trying not to fall for the one person I was never meant to live with. Because love here isn't soft. It's punishment dressed as tenderness. And some wounds refuse to heal, no matter how far you run.

Raven Storm
Hiatus !! ( but I promise I am coming back ; see the last chapter ) 20.12.2025 Some storms come and go. Raven became one. Raven Storm has learned to survive in silence. At home, she hides bruises behind bandages and fear behind a blank stare. At school, she's the outcast-judged, hated, blamed for something she couldn't control. The world turned its back on her. So she did the same. Then came him. The boy who won't stop talking. The one who looks at her like she's worth seeing. The one who says he understands-but never says why. Thrown together for a class project, Raven and Adrien are forced into each other's lives. She just wants to stay invisible. He's hiding something beneath every smile. They were never meant to trust. Never meant to care. Definitely never meant to fall. But fate doesn't ask. And secrets don't stay buried forever. Because Adrien isn't who he says he is. And Raven's father isn't just a monster-he's a target. In a world of lies, violence, and betrayal, the only thing more dangerous than the truth... ...is the way they're starting to feel. Well, I am shit at writing summaries or something like that so I asked my bestie Chat gbt ; so yeah! Enjoy! BTW: I going to be completely honest I reread the first few chapters and they may be a little rough to read in terms of grammar and so on but I promise it gets better in the further chapters. I apologize beforehand.
