When Justice Meets Desire by 13_TheBlackDog

"Two academic rivals must unravel a corruption case while battling the undeniable chemistry between them." Ava, the confident and stunning blonde law student, is known for her intelligence and charisma that makes her a standout in the faculty. She's always been at the top of her class, excelling in academic competitions and being a social force. But there's one person who competes with her at every turn-Logan, a brooding and intense law student with exceptional skills and a sharp mind. The two are constant academic rivals, constantly competing for the top spot, and their rivalry has made them dislike each other from the start. However, when a high-profile corruption case surfaces, both Ava and Logan are forced to team up in order to solve it. The case involves uncovering corruption within the legal field, requiring them to dig into sensitive areas and connect various pieces of evidence. This new challenge pushes them to work closely together, forcing them to confront not only the case but also their own personal histories and secrets. Logan, who has been burned by betrayal in the past, keeps his walls high and remains distant from others, especially Ava, who he sees as someone who plays the social game too well. On the other hand, Ava struggles to see Logan as more than just a grumpy, distant competitor who keeps everyone at arm's length. But as they collaborate on the case, Ava begins to uncover Logan's hidden vulnerabilities, and Logan starts to see the real, sincere side of Ava that isn't just about winning or looking good. As the case intensifies, they must decide whether to stay true to their personal beliefs and fight for justice or let their growing feelings for each other undermine everything they've worked for. Their rivalry shifts into something far more complicated-an undeniable attraction that neither of them can easily ignore.

The One Who Sees Me by Itsme_cgambz

CG never planned to be noticed-not in her course, not in love, and definitely not by a girl like Yana. She's boyish, guarded, accidentally charming, and stuck in a course she never really chose. With no dating history and a heart quietly hardened by the things she's seen, CG was just going with the flow... until Yana came in-soft, insistent, and sincere. What started as a seatmate dynamic quickly became something else. There were late-night chats, random jealousy, quiet stares across rooms, and a slow, growing warmth that neither of them could name at first. Through the rain, hallway glances, misunderstandings, kisses on the cheek, and soft "I love you"s-Yana slowly became the one person who saw CG as she truly was. And CG, despite all her fear, started to look back. This is a slowburn sapphic love story about being seen, being chosen, and finally choosing back.

How we Paint Love by lilmissgoodgurl

Théo once painted his world in colors no one else dared to mix. But the fire that fueled his palette burned out, leaving only muted tones, smudges of regret, and canvases he couldn't finish. When his world collided with Camile, it wasn't a gentle sketch. It was bold strokes, messy layers, intoxicating pigments bleeding into each other-everything they should wash away but can't. Every conversation unfurls like a cinematic tableau: smoky rooms clouded with turpentine, half-finished canvases leaning against cracked walls, egos smeared raw, and midnight arguments that drip into tangled sheets. They stain each other. She primes him back into art. He splatters her into chaos. Together, they are a living canvas of love, lust, and ruin-too volatile to preserve, too magnetic to paint over. But how long can two fractured artists keep layering each other in color before the canvas finally tears?

Our Story by marigxld-mxxn

Willow Maplewood has never been good at this whole "crush" thing. At thirteen, she's perfected the art of avoiding eye contact, overthinking every social interaction, and panicking whenever someone might be flirting with her. But when her best friend drags her to the school's Art Club, Willow's cautious world gets... complicated. Moon Nightstaff - fourteen, easygoing, hopelessly clumsy - is impossible not to notice. He's friendly, confident in front of crowds, and completely unaware that every time he smiles, Willow forgets how to speak. To make things worse? Ruby Lovelace is always nearby. Snotty, bold, and an expert flirt, Ruby isn't just Moon's friend - she actually likes him. And unlike Willow, Ruby knows exactly what she's doing. Between Diamond Aqua's relentless teasing, spilled paint, awkward silences, and an endless loop of blushing disasters, Willow's about to learn that navigating crushes might be as messy - and colorful - as art class itself.
