"Hate Me Gently"
Some hearts don't break-they bruise quietly and carry on. Until someone sees the pain beneath the armor.

Ava Blake doesn't believe in love not the kind that doesn't leave scars. She's guarded, sharp-tongued, and tired of pretending everything's fine. Asher Carter is everything she hates: calm, unreadable, and too good at hiding his broken pieces.

They weren't supposed to matter to each other. But when a cruel twist of fate throws them together, old wounds resurface and so does the undeniable pull between them.

They fight. They clash. But beneath every insult is a secret truth: both of them are terrified of being truly seen.

Enemies-to-lovers. Slow-burn tension. Messy pasts.
And a love story that's not about saving each other
but about learning how to survive together........

Fragments of Forever by onem12
21 parts Ongoing
They were just kids when it all began. Back when summer afternoons felt endless, laughter echoed louder, and love was something innocent, fragile, and unspoken, when a single glance across the schoolyard felt like forever. Chris Sinclair never believed in happy endings. Not when his world at home was built on slammed doors, whispered fights, and the quiet ache of being unseen. But then came Mason Taylor, his best friend since first grade, the boy who became his anchor when everything else was falling apart. And with Mason came Yasmin. His twin. His sunlight. The girl who made the darkness bearable without even knowing it. Through childhood, through growing pains, through years of unspoken feelings, Chris held on to the pieces of her, the stolen smiles, the quiet moments, the memories that shaped them. To him, Yasmin was forever. But forever is fragile. And when one mistake threatens to unravel everything, Yasmin, Mason, Sophie, the friendships that built their world, Chris is forced to face the truth: Sometimes, all it takes is a single crack for forever to fall apart. Now, he must decide if he's willing to fight for the one person who's always been his light... Or watch as the pieces of what they once had scatter beyond repair. Because when love breaks, it doesn't disappear. It lingers, in the fragments.

When Justice Meets Desire by 13_TheBlackDog
39 parts Complete
"Two academic rivals must unravel a corruption case while battling the undeniable chemistry between them." Ava, the confident and stunning blonde law student, is known for her intelligence and charisma that makes her a standout in the faculty. She's always been at the top of her class, excelling in academic competitions and being a social force. But there's one person who competes with her at every turn-Logan, a brooding and intense law student with exceptional skills and a sharp mind. The two are constant academic rivals, constantly competing for the top spot, and their rivalry has made them dislike each other from the start. However, when a high-profile corruption case surfaces, both Ava and Logan are forced to team up in order to solve it. The case involves uncovering corruption within the legal field, requiring them to dig into sensitive areas and connect various pieces of evidence. This new challenge pushes them to work closely together, forcing them to confront not only the case but also their own personal histories and secrets. Logan, who has been burned by betrayal in the past, keeps his walls high and remains distant from others, especially Ava, who he sees as someone who plays the social game too well. On the other hand, Ava struggles to see Logan as more than just a grumpy, distant competitor who keeps everyone at arm's length. But as they collaborate on the case, Ava begins to uncover Logan's hidden vulnerabilities, and Logan starts to see the real, sincere side of Ava that isn't just about winning or looking good. As the case intensifies, they must decide whether to stay true to their personal beliefs and fight for justice or let their growing feelings for each other undermine everything they've worked for. Their rivalry shifts into something far more complicated-an undeniable attraction that neither of them can easily ignore.
Love We Never Said by Angelinhell15
42 parts Ongoing
They were never meant to fall in love. Ava White and Kevin Ashton were born into two empires at war-rivals in business, heirs to legacies built on competition and silence. In college, they were just Kevin and Ava-two hearts laughing in shared secrets, two souls who fit too easily. But timing was cruel. And love doesn't always arrive when you're free to choose it. Kevin fell for Stella Ross-sunshine, gentle love, soft promises. And Ava hid her feelings behind smiles, jokes, pink dresses, and the name she whispered for him only in her diary: Teddy. One drunken night after graduation changed everything. One wedding shattered what was left. And one accident destroyed the world they thought was safe. Now grief ties them closer than love ever did. Ava is the only one who can pull Kevin out of the darkness. Kevin is the only one who sees the pain Ava tries to bury. They heal each other slowly-quiet mornings, shared breaths, wounds stitched with laughter and tears. But the world still sees them as enemies. And the media is already asking questions. How long can two broken hearts hide the one thing they never stopped feeling? This is not a love story that begins with falling. It begins with waiting, breaking, returning- and finally, choosing. Content/Trigger Warning: This story contains scenes of violence, and mentions death and suicide attempt
Halfway To Forever by blueberrykisses18
6 parts Ongoing
They started as classmates, then friends, then something that didn't quite fit any word. The problem? Neither of them were ready to call it love. They never meant to fall for each other. It just happened quietly, in glances that lingered too long and silences that said too much. What started as teasing and shared notes turned into something heavier, something neither of them dared to name. Elena swears she's fine keeping it undefined, even when her heart stumbles every time his eyes find hers. And Noah he hides behind jokes, behind that easy confidence, pretending he doesn't care when he clearly does. It's the kind of almost love that burns slow, the kind that ruins you softly. Between laughter and denial, comfort and confusion, they walk the line between friendship and something more, too scared to cross it, too scared to let go. __ Friends to something less than lovers, more than bestfriends.

He hides behind sarcasm and long sleeves, drifting through school like he's just passing through. Ava tells herself not to care. But then he looks at her.

31 parts Complete Mature
Bullied and bruised, Adam Winters has survived high school by keeping his head down. Those bothered by his quiet, eccentric nature? They are the 'pretty' ones. The ones with comfortable backgrounds. The ones at the top. When an attractive transfer becomes his seat neighbour for the rest of the semester, Adam is naturally wary-- partly because of her brawny sibling in senior year, and partly because she checks every box on his list of people to avoid: pretty, rich, and popular. With an angelic smile, twinkling sapphire eyes and ribbons in her blonde hair, her persona screams perfection. A level he won't be able to achieve even in his quirkiest of daydreams-- not like he'd ever want to. After all, despite her odd choice of friends, her playful teasing, and her persistent efforts to win his trust, isn't she just another heartless bully? ••• Featured on: @humor - DiverseLit Humor (Sept 2025) @Ambassadors - Slice Of Life (Sept 2025) @humor - Ambassador's Monthly Pick (Oct 2025)
