Kiera Morgan is a rising star in the military-intelligent, fierce, and determined to climb the ranks, no matter the cost. She's trained herself to be the perfect soldier, but there's one thing she can't seem to control: Jace Ramirez. Her rival, her equal, and the man who always seems to be one step ahead of her. They're tied for first, but their competition is more than just rank-it's personal.

When a high-stakes mission brings them together, the unresolved tension between them sparks into something dangerous. As they're forced to work side by side, Kiera's carefully constructed walls begin to crack, and Jace's persistence challenges everything she's tried to bury. But Kiera has a past-one full of scars and fears that she's not ready to face, especially not with someone like Jace.

As the line between enemies and something more begins to blur, Kiera must decide whether she's willing to risk everything for a love that might break her or push him away before it's too late.

Strings Of Fate by Lunxielle

Elia Santiago believes in simple things. Warm coffee in the morning, Sunday Mass every week, and writing stories about people who are often ignored. She's an accountancy student and a school journalist who lives a quiet life. She has small dreams, clear goals, and finds comfort sitting under stained-glass windows every Sunday. Chaos was never part of her plan, until she met him. Aiden Reyes is the opposite of quiet. He doesn't talk much, but his presence alone feels loud. An engineering student known for his sharp mind, his skill in archery, and the walls he keeps around himself. He has a close group of friends who bring trouble wherever they go, and no one really tries to get past his cold exterior. No one, until Elia. With her notebook, gentle smile, and habit of noticing little things, Elia slowly steps into Aiden's world. What starts as small and accidental meetings turns into something deeper. Coffee breaks, short walks, and moments that feel more important than they should. As Elia begins to understand the silence Aiden carries, Aiden starts to realize that being seen might not be so scary after all. But with rumors, expectations, and personal struggles quietly waiting in the background, one question remains. Can two people from very different worlds walk the same path, or are they only meant to pass by each other? Written by Lunxielle Date Started: May 12, 2025 Date Ended: July 6, 2025

To uncover his hidden prison, Eir must solve three ancient clues scattered across a land built on the suffering of men. And she refuses to fail. And then Eir meets The Destroyer, a Cursed warrior bound to the empire she loathes. He is everything she swore to hate. He is everything she's terrified to want.

Ever so slowly, I lowered my mouth to the lime. As I did so, I felt the brush of her lips on mine. Just a touch. Just a breath, and it ignited fire in my veins. And at that moment, I forgot a lot. My heart stopped, my breathing quit, my thoughts ceased. But I knew one thing, and it was screaming in the hollows of my brain. 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦. 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘦𝘳.

Academically Yours (Jayfer) by Studentgirl12345

Academically Yours Jay Mariano has three goals: keep her GPA flawless, avoid Keifer Watson at all costs, and definitely not fall in love. Too bad only one of those is still intact. He's her rival, her academic nightmare, the boy who always manages to be one step ahead-and the reason she starts adding extra lip gloss before debates. As the academic tension turns into something...else (no, not that-okay, maybe that), Jay has to choose between staying on top of the class or losing her heart to the one guy she swore she'd never tolerate. Because the only thing more dangerous than competing with Keifer? Trying not to kiss him in the library. Grades, pride, and maybe hearts are on the line. So tell me-can you really hate someone if your heart skips a beat every time they say your name?

The tension between us by alwxithymia

The Tension Between Us Enemies. Partners. Something more? Claire Evans is the kind of girl who color-codes her life-disciplined, brilliant, and one panic attack away from falling apart. Her greatest fear? The dark. Her second? Failing. Jace Carter is chaos wrapped in charm. A mechanical engineering major with a reputation for breaking rules-and hearts. He lives in the moment, laughs in the face of structure, and couldn't care less about his GPA. When a cross-department college project pairs them together for the semester, sparks fly-and not the good kind. Claire wants nothing more than to finish the project and avoid Jace's laid-back attitude and smug smile. But the more time they spend together, the more she begins to see a side of him no one else does. Then one night, a power outage traps them in a pitch-black room on campus-her worst nightmare. What starts as a confrontation turns into a confession. Walls break. Hearts crack. And suddenly, the tension between them is impossible to ignore. Can a girl terrified of the dark fall for the boy who lives in it? A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers college romance filled with emotional depth, witty banter, and a love that heals even the deepest fears.

𝓑𝓾𝓻𝓷𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓑𝓵𝓾𝓮 - 𝓢𝓲𝓶𝓸𝓷 𝓢𝓮𝓿𝓲𝓵𝓵𝓮 by Adira_1812

In which... At the University of Sydney, sparks fly in the lecture halls when Isadora Rodriguez, a sharp-tongued, charismatic overachiever with a wild streak, collides with Simon Seville, the uptight, bespectacled academic perfectionist known for his cold logic and killer grades. What begins as a war of words and one-upmanship-sabotaged presentations, snide remarks, and brainy brawls-quickly spirals into late-night study sessions full of tension, quiet admiration masked as competition, and stolen glances they refuse to admit mean anything. As the year unfolds, the walls come down: Isadora sees past Simon's stoic exterior to the boy who's been pushing himself to exhaustion, desperate for recognition and security. Simon discovers the vulnerability behind Isadora's bold front, the insecurities she hides behind her sarcasm and chaos. There's jealousy. There's denial. There's a moment in the library that almost turns into a kiss. There are rainy nights, blanket forts, drunken confessions, and the quiet realization that they've stopped wanting to win against each other... and started wanting each other. The tension breaks somewhere-with one impulsive, heated kiss that turns into a full emotional unraveling. By the time they admit their feelings, it's messy, beautiful, and absolutely worth every insult hurled. From rivals to reluctant partners, to lovers who now know every version of each other-this is a story of growth, vulnerability, chaos, intimacy, and undeniable love between two people who never expected to fall for the one person who challenged them the most. Enemies to lovers Slow-burn with explosive payoff Fluff hidden under layers of angst and tension Smart people being absolute idiots about their feelings Longing. Pining. Banter. Chaos.

Jace is the school's golden boy-star soccer player, effortlessly charming, and Ava's biggest rival.

He's realizing there's a fine line between rivalry and something more. Tension turns to sparks, and suddenly, Ava isn't sure if she still hates Jace Montgomery... or if she's been falling for him this entire time. Enemies. Rivals. Maybe something else entirely. Because love and hate? They're not so different after all.
