Irrevocably Yours by _hellomissannie_

She fell for him when she wasn't supposed to. He broke her heart when she needed him most. Now, five years later, fate is giving them one more chance. When Hanna fell in love with her brother's best friend, she knew it was reckless but she didn't care. Their love was real... until it wasn't. One secret, one night, and everything shattered. Left to raise her daughter alone, Hanna learned to survive without him. But when Johnny unexpectedly walks back into her life and discovers the truth he never knew... everything changes.

A House for Me by Amita_Sky

A quiet house. A past that won't let go. And two men who could burn it all down. Kai never asked for much - just a quiet home of his own. But the past clings like smoke, and the house he's building can't keep the ghosts out. Caught between betrayal, a city that suffocates him, and two men as different as night and day - Samson, reckless and burning, and Dmitry, cold and immovable - Kai has no choice but to face the one thing he's been running from all his life: himself. This isn't a love story. It's about scars, survival, and the fragile hope that one day a house can become a home.

Kept.......(#1 of the Love series) by moonlitby13

He wasn't offering kindness. He just didn't shut the door. I said I could cook. I lied. I said I wasn't a thief. I lied again. But for some reason, he let me stay. And that's when everything started to hurt less. Kai doesn't trust people. He trusts what they leave unguarded. Living on the streets has made him quick with his hands and quicker with lies. When he spots Elias - calm, unreadable, alone - he sees an easy mark. But Elias doesn't react the way he should. He doesn't panic. He doesn't question. He offers Kai a place to stay. No strings. No rules. No locked doors. Kai tells himself it's temporary. He tells himself it's survival. He doesn't expect to feel safe. He doesn't expect to start wanting to stay. And he definitely doesn't expect that staying will bring everything he ran from crashing back into his life.

The Gravity of You by The_CrazyCatLady

He was the boy who left. She was the girl who couldn't forget. One year. 365 days of silence. That's what Aiden gave Emma when he walked out of her life without a trace. Now he's back, with a darkness in his eyes she doesn't recognize and a pull she doesn't remembers being this strong. What do you do when the boy who shattered your world walks back into it a year later, with the same crooked smile and a million secrets in his eyes? When the old, electric pull between them is stronger than ever. Between jealous friends, a toxic ex, and the suffocating weight of the secrets he's still keeping, Emma finds herself pulled towards him all over again. He's determined to win her back, one stolen moment, one possessive touch, and one heartbreaking confession at a time. But rebuilding a love on the ashes of the past is a dangerous game. And this time, the fire might just burn them both to the ground.

Nepenthe by anglzx7

*COMPLETED* He's my best friend. The one person I run to when I don't want to face the world around me, because I know I can hide with him. In the comfort of our silence. Of his touch. My heart has always been his, if only he'd see that I'm right here waiting for the day he will finally notice me. Then, perhaps, he could be mine. But I'm just out of a relationship. And he's unavailable. -•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-•-• #3 IN MUTUALFEELINGS

Our Promise by spritmma

Not the best friend who became her first kiss... her first love... her everything. But when he moved across the world, he left her with nothing but a broken promise and a gold star necklace she still wears like a scar. She swore she'd wait. He swore they'd find each other again. But two weeks after he came back, he was holding another girl's hand. Now it's war. And Lisa's done playing soft. Noah thought leaving Lisa behind would protect them both. He didn't expect to fall apart without her. Neither did he expect to learn the truth-something so brutal it made him question every moment they'd ever shared and see her as a stranger in the skin of the girl he once loved. And he definitely didn't expect to fall into someone else's arms trying to forget the taste of her lips. But Lisa's not the shy girl he left behind. She's colder now. Hotter, too. And every time he looks at her like he hates her, he wants to grab her and make her remember everything. This isn't just a breakup. It's unfinished business. First love never dies. But it might just destroy them both.

The Ones we Shouldn't Love: ACT I by CLFarron1022

It starts fast-like lightning striking dry earth. What begins as a spark becomes a fire neither of them can contain. It's the kind of love that keeps you up at night, wide-eyed and breathless, not out of fear, but because you can't bear to miss a single moment. It bruises the heart in places no one sees, but never breaks it-never harms it. Just leaves fingerprints, soft and lingering. Leaving would be easier if love ever truly left. But it doesn't. It lingers in the walls, in the sheets, in the silence between words. One heart clings to memory, loving what was. The other leans into the unknown, loving what might be. And somewhere in between, love becomes a duty-an unspoken promise, heavy and unshakable. All she wants is quiet now. Not the silence of loneliness, but the stillness of peace. A place where her heart doesn't have to choose between two kinds of love-only rest in the safety of her own.
