One Night Stand by shaysttr

𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗻 𝗴𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀, 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗸𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀, & 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀. We are aware of the undeniable and forbidden love that exists between us, a love that is so genuine and pure. So perfect for one another, but not ideal by society. Fighting our feelings to keep them hidden, we eventually give in to a love most forbidden. She tried not to get attached. But how can she when we're already attached? How can she take a step back when she's already ten steps ahead? How can she say she's not worth it when all she has been doing is showing me that she's worth it? She would look me in the eye and I would see my whole world through those wide blue eyes. "𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙝 𝙞𝙩, 𝘿𝙚𝙫𝙤𝙣 𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙨𝙤𝙣" I finally said. This is not my story.. I'm just a character that fell in love. This is Devon Wilson's story... And welcome to her story

Heart Lessons (WlW) by Shritzy

Sometimes the best lessons aren't learned in class, they're felt in the heart. Riley Hale's life runs on caffeine, chaos, and cupcake batter. At twenty-eight, she's mastered the art of single motherhood, sarcasm, and pretending she's totally fine that her love life has been replaced by late-night cleaning montages and her eight-year-old's existential questions. Then one morning, a frosty stranger in a perfect beige coat walks into The Sweet Spot bakery and straight into Riley's list of "people I will never impress." After one spilled coffee and a mortifying apology later, Riley is convinced she'll never see the woman again. Until the next day, when she meets her daughter's new fifth-grade teacher... Miss Emerson Miller. What follows is a year of accidental flirtations, school-event disasters, and late-night bake-offs that blur the line between enemies, friends, and something sweeter. Because sometimes love doesn't show up when you plan it - it spills all over your shoes and dares you to start over. A slow-burn, small-town romantic comedy about second chances, messy mornings, and discovering that the best lessons aren't always taught in classrooms.

Maria Emerson Tara's new teacher-calm, composed, and unknowingly magnetic. She sees through Tara's defiance, her silence, her carefully constructed walls.

It's terrifying. It's the only thing that feels right. But nothing stays secret forever. With friends growing suspicious, a town ready to judge, and the threat of everything unraveling, Tara is forced to confront the truth: she's falling for the one person she should stay away from. And Maria? She knows the line. But she keeps stepping closer. Ms. Emerson is an emotionally charged wlw age-gap romance about the pull of forbidden connection, the ache of being seen, and the cost of crossing lines that were never meant to be blurred.

--- Cecilia Valentini Barnes never had a chance at a normal life-created in Hydra's labs with the blood of beasts, raised in the shadows, and trained to be a living weapon. She's dangerous, untrusting, and haunted by the things she was forced to do. When Nick Fury pulls her out of hiding to join the Avengers Initiative, Cecilia doesn't expect to bond with anyone, let alone her. Natasha Romanoff-sharp, composed, and impossible to read-sees through Cecilia's armor in ways that unnerve her. There's something magnetic about the assassin's quiet strength and the way she doesn't flinch from Cecilia's darker edges. And while Natasha tells herself she's just keeping an eye on Fury's wildcard, she can't ignore the tug she feels toward the wild girl. They circle each other carefully-two predators with scars too deep to name, drawn together by something neither of them is ready to face. ________________________ ᴹᵘʳᵈᵉʳ ⱽⁱᵒˡᵉⁿᶜᵉ ˢᵐᵘᵗ ᶜᵘʳˢⁱⁿᵍ #1 Natasha - 30th of Sept 2025 #2 blackwidow - 17th of sept 2025
