The Stanford Diagnosis: Love by HsFay327

*SPOTIFY PLAYLIST FOR THIS STORY: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2gm2TVJ4xguaJ3pZmBBNCn *SPINOFF OF THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY, EXPECT BASED ON CONRADS LIFE IN CALIFORNIA* Jeremiah and Belly ended up together. That summer was over, and so was Conrad Fisher's quiet heartbreak. By the time he returned to Stanford for medical school, Conrad had finally begun to let Belly go. The ache dulled, replaced with the fierce focus of becoming a doctor. He thought he knew what he wanted-control, certainty, and maybe, if he was lucky, peace. Enter Ophelia Sinclair. Ophelia was brilliant, competitive, and utterly impossible. The kind of girl who corrected professors under her breath, the kind of girl who lived and breathed ambition. The kind of girl who got under Conrad's skin the moment she looked at him and smirked. They clashed from day one. Every lecture, every lab, every case study-Conrad and Ophelia butted heads like it was sport. And when word spread about a single, highly-coveted internship at the hospital, their rivalry sharpened into something electric. Both of them wanted it. Neither of them was willing to back down. But the line between rivalry and something more has a way of blurring. Between late-night study sessions, stolen glances in the anatomy lab, and the walls they both swore they'd never let down... Conrad and Ophelia's story becomes more than just about medicine. It becomes about love. The dangerous, consuming kind you don't plan for-the kind Conrad never thought he'd find again. Enemies. Rivals. Lovers.

Hate me, Hold me by author_muby

Roop Menon never expected her new job at Malhotra Multicare Hospital to come with a side dish of chaos-and definitely not in the form of two impossibly magnetic twin brothers. One is all soft smiles and quiet stares. The other? Leather jackets, bruised knuckles, and a glare that could set off fire alarms. Vihaan Malhotra is the charming younger twin-glasses perched on his nose, always ready with a gentle joke or cup of coffee when her day turns hellish. Aaryan Malhotra is the older one-the infuriating CEO who never wears a suit, never says more than necessary, and somehow knows exactly how to push all her buttons. And Roop? She's smack in the middle. Fighting them. Fighting herself. Fighting the war between rage and... something dangerously close to desire. But the more she learns about the brothers, the more tangled things get. Secrets start surfacing. Loyalties get tested. And the walls Roop built around her heart? They're starting to crack. ~~ "He brings me calm," she whispered. "And you? You bring me storms I don't know how to survive."
