Raincheck
What happens when the love you thought was pretend turns out to be the most real thing you've ever known? After the sapphic K-drama Friendly Rivalry skyrockets Lee Hyeri and Chung Subin to fame, the two leads become overnight icons-of chemistry, controversy, and everything unsaid. But behind the scenes, their closeness dissolves into silence, leaving fans wondering what really happened when the cameras stopped rolling. A year later, rumors erupt. Dispatch thinks Hyeri's back with her cheating ex. Subin is spotted in Florida with a mysterious companion. A fan-fueled conspiracy brews... and they're both caught in the storm. But when Hyeri makes a desperate call that leads to a drunken reunion, a glittery Orlando chapel, and a very real marriage certificate, the two women are forced to confront what they've been running from: the truth of who they are-and who they are to each other. As public pressure mounts, secrets resurface, and careers hang in the balance, Raincheck follows two women navigating love, identity, and the cost of staying silent in a world that only pretends to be watching fiction. This isn't just a story about falling in love. It's about choosing it-loudly. Messily. Irrevocably. And maybe, just maybe... asking for no more rainchecks. DISCLAIMER: This story is sprinkled with a dash of reality, a whole lot of "what if," and zero claims to actual truth. It's fan fiction, folks, aka imagination in overdrive. Any resemblance to real events or people is purely because our brains can't help but blur the lines sometimes. Read with your heart, not a fact-checker.Complete

Evidence of Us
"She profiles motives. He prosecutes them. Together, they walk the fine line between truth and destruction." ⸻ Four years ago, FBI agent Tessa Martin and ADA Rafael Barba worked one brutal case together - a case that ended in justice, headlines, and a deep, mutual dislike. He thought she was reckless. She thought he was arrogant. They were both right. Now, Tessa's back in Manhattan - newly returned from maternity leave, freshly reassigned as a Behavioral Science Unit liaison to SVU. The Bureau calls her "the golden girl" - brilliant with the media, sharp with profiles, and unshakably calm under pressure. What they don't see are the cracks she hides - the trauma, the sleepless nights, and the baby she's learning to raise on her own. When a high-profile assault case at Hudson University ignites a media firestorm, Tessa is brought in to manage public fallout and provide behavioral insight. What no one tells her? The ADA handling the prosecution is Rafael Barba. Their reunion is instant friction - her warmth against his precision, her empathy against his logic. But as the case unfolds, old grudges begin to blur into respect, and respect turns into something far more dangerous. In a world where justice demands control and truth demands vulnerability, the two find themselves fighting side by side - in the courtroom, in the chaos, and against feelings neither of them asked for. Tessa reads emotions for a living. Barba hides behind them for survival. And somewhere between the law and the lies, they'll both have to decide how much of themselves they're willing to risk for the truth - and for each other. Golden retriever × black cat dynamic
