In the sleepless heart of New York City, Lena Marlowe is a fashion design sophomore whose world is built from fabric, color, and quiet chaos. Damon Reyes is a senior architecture student-calm, brooding, precise. They've been best friends since their first chaotic studio night on campus, when spilled coffee and frayed nerves gave way to an easy bond that neither of them questioned. Until now.

Between late-night sketch sessions, stolen hoodies, and too many mornings waking up in each other's spaces, something between them begins to shift. Slowly. Dangerously. Intensely.

But college isn't just about falling in love-it's about building futures. And when their ambitions clash with their unspoken feelings, Lena and Damon must decide: is risking their friendship worth the heat simmering beneath every glance?

Beneath the Threadlines is a slow-burn, modern love story threaded with longing, vulnerability, creative passion, and undeniable chemistry. Perfect for fans of tension-filled friendships, sleepless nights, and love that simmers before it scorches.

"They were never just friends-only two hearts pretending not to know."

A Dress, A Glance and Him by Nyah_tofu
43 parts Complete Mature
Some silences speak louder than love confessions. Lune didn't wear dresses. Endri didn't ask questions. Until one morning changed both. Set in the quiet corridors and shadowed classrooms of a university , when Lune shows up in a black dress she wouldn't normally wear, and Endri crosses the street just to walk beside her, something shifts. What starts as casual teasing and coffee turns into something heavier-silent glances across classrooms, prose that sounds too personal, bruises that don't have stories, and a past that doesn't want to stay buried. It's about the unspoken things. The mornings that mean more than they should. The friend you never meant to fall into. And the distance you keep... just to feel safe. A soft, emotional slow-burn about friendship that might be something more-if only someone were brave enough to say it.

Lena Rose has always been the perfect daughter. Sharp, graceful, obedient-raised in a world where expectations are everything and emotions are a luxury she can't afford. But beneath the surface of flawless grades and carefully arranged smiles, Lena is unraveling. Torn between who she is and who she's supposed to be, she finds herself caught in a quiet war - between the boy her heart can't forget and the future her family demands. Evander Gray is the boy with a past no one dares to ask about-quiet eyes that see too much, hands that carry more grief than they should, and a heart he's learned to hide behind half-smiles and guarded silences. The boy everybody wants but knows nothing about the real him-of the life he's lived. He never meant to fall for her. Not her-not the girl who was just supposed to be his tutor. But some connections don't ask for permission. Some hearts break quietly. Others burn their way back to life. She finds herself trapped in lies, hate, desire, and trapped in a life that doesn't feel like hers. But the past has a way of returning. As truths unravel - about her family, her future, and the boy she once knew - Lena must choose between duty and desire, between the life she was given and the one she wants to claim. Can you really let go of the person who taught you how to breathe? "You're so beautiful, I don't think I'll ever get over you."

With plenty of laughs, moments of vulnerability, and a slow-burning romance, this story explores how love can grow quietly from the foundation of friendship.

Seventeen-year-old Lena Hart, quiet and awkward in all the wrong moments, never imagined her heart would ache for someone who's always been right beside her. She's been best friends with Eli Maddox since middle school - her safety net, her person. He's six feet of smiles, hoodies, and the kind of comfort that makes you forget the world can hurt. They've always worked - her silence, his laughter. Her overthinking, his easygoing warmth. But what happens when the line between friendship and something deeper starts to blur? High school is ending. College applications are looming. And suddenly, the question isn't whether Lena and Eli can go back to friends... It's whether they even want to.

A slow-burn WLW dark romance exploring the blurred lines between power, desire, and identity. When Naomi Bennett returns from a year abroad, she's ready to start fresh - new course, new friends, new version of herself. Psychology was never part of the plan, but it's hers now... even if her parents still wish she'd studied law instead. Then comes Ms Chambers. Beautiful. Unreadable. Dangerous in ways Naomi can't quite put into words. A woman who owns every room she walks into - including the lecture hall. Naomi doesn't like her. She's too confident. Too composed. Too... something. But for someone she supposedly can't stand, Ms Chambers is increasingly hard to ignore. The tension is quiet, precise - threaded through loaded glances and careful silences. It's just in Naomi's head. Isn't it? As boundaries blur and obsession simmers beneath the surface, Naomi begins to question everything - what she wants, what she knows, and who she really is beneath the version of herself she's always performed. Because some lessons don't stay in the classroom. ⚠️ Content / Trigger Warnings: (Please avoid reading if any of the following may affect you.)
