What's the worst that can happen when you're forced to co-captain with your rival? 

Nova Shields can't stand Leo Hendrix. She hates his arrogance and obnoxiousness, that crooked smirk he does when he thinks he's right. Leo can't stand Nova's wits, the way she folds her arms and quirks her eyebrows. The way he can never read what's happening behind those green eyes. 

After a combined black operation was almost sent awry in '99 as a result of their constant disagreements, the pair vowed to never work alongside each other again. That is until Leo's partner suddenly loses his life in '02, leaving Commander North no choice but to bring in the only officer capable of filling the void: Nova.

Their partnership ignites with animosity, a consequence of the lingering grudge. They can't seem to find that comradeship the Commander longed for. That is until they discover how once they work together without disagreeing, arguing and trying to wring each others necks, they can in fact form an unstoppable duo. 

A duo that transcends the operations they face; that forces them to confront the feelings they've been denying for so long. Feelings that only surface through the betrayals, bloodshed and near death experiences. Feelings that may be accepted, but only when it's too late. 

Then again, what's the worst that can happen?

Acting Like I Love Her (gxg) by the_real_dead

Nova Astrid has been acting since she was 13, and ever since her acting career started, she's been in intense competition with Milani Zaffrid; the spoiled rich girl who gets every tv role Nova works her ass off for. Nova works hard to avoid talking to Milani, which is hard considering they go to the same high school, and they've both been cast as rival characters in the same tv show. Unfortunately, it gets even harder for Nova when the co-writer Matt Davison loves their "off screen chemistry" and decides to make Nova's character Milani's character's love interest. Their intense rivalry gets in the way of their acting ability, and are forced to fake date as practise for the show, and get more comfortable with each other. Let's hope this doesn't awaken anything in them.

Sharp, fearless, and unwilling to play by anyone's rules, she's built her reputation on being untouchable. With her best friend Aria at her side, Nova knows how to keep her head high in a school where weakness gets eaten alive. She doesn't care about the drama, the noise, or the golden boys who think Belladonna belongs to them. And then there's Lucas Moretti. Arrogant. Reckless. Smirking like he's already won. Behind the wheel, he's untouchable-an undefeated street racer whose midnight victories make him a legend. In the halls, he's worse. Late to class, girls clinging to him, an ego big enough to fill the room.

When three vicious men with troubled pasts become entangled in a vengeful web of lies and lust, sparks quickly turn into an all-consuming fire. *** To escape his abusive father's heavy hand, Jace Carter gets wasted and hooks up with strangers on weekends. While notorious for never sleeping with the same person twice, one incredible night with sexy mafia boss Renato "Ren" Merlo makes him reconsider this policy.

"You will be so much more than that." *** CONTENT WARNING: This story contains mature themes. Sex is always consensual but sometimes rough, and various kinks may be involved.
