Kori is golden. Everyone knows it. She glows with the kind of warmth that draws people in-easy laughs, a voice like honey, and sunlight that seems to follow wherever she goes.
Lydia is the opposite. She drifts like moonlight, quiet, magnetic, almost unknowable. People notice her in the way they notice stars on a clear night, with awe, but from a distance.
They've shared a campus for three years. Mutual friends, same buildings, similar circles. And yet, not once have their paths truly crossed. It's like the universe was keeping them apart.
Something shifts.
Not all at once. Not fireworks. Not thunderclaps. Just a pull. Soft. Gradual. Inevitable.

The Heartbound
π Your bracelet chooses who you love. But what happens when your heart chooses rebellion instead? In Alara's world, staying young means finding a match-and staying matched. If she doesn't bond with someone by her twenty-sixth birthday, her body will betray her, aging her rapidly until she fades into the forgotten class called the Fleeting. Her wealthy parents have arranged a match to save her, but there's just one problem: it's her toxic ex. The same one who left her emotionally-and physically-scarred. Now she has one year to find her Heart's Echo, the soulmate born just for her, or surrender to a future she never wanted. When her bracelet flickers gold at the elite matchmaking festival, it confirms what she's always believed: her Echo is real... and dangerously close. What she doesn't know is that her Echo is Korven, a brooding, high-ranking rebel with secrets that could tear her world apart. Matching with her means giving in to the very system he's trying to burn to the ground. He's the one person she's been searching for. She's the one person he can never have. π₯ A slow-burn dystopian romance full of secrets, soulmates, rebellion-and one impossible choice.
Wretched Roses β
She gazed into her dark brown eyes with lust and pain. A rose as red as her tainted lips she'd put behind her ear, still holding it there, never wanting to let go. She put her forehead against hers as she whispered "You're just like a rose, beautiful but when you come too close you sting, not wanting others to see the pain behind your beauty. But you know what, I'm not scared, I won't give up on you no matter how much you make me bleed." She looked deep in thought, biting her lip and raising one of her eyebrows, and finally, she pressed her tainted lips against hers, letting their lips collide. They knew, that now, they would forever crave each others touch, they were in too deep. They'd fallen too hard. Never did they expect that their story wouldn't end there, and that years later they would be telling this exact story to none other than their own kids.

Ms Chambers
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. β οΈ Content / Trigger Warnings: (Please avoid reading if any of the following may affect you.)

Zena never questioned it-Elliot had always been there. Friends since day one, they had their own lives, their own routines, but somehow, they always circled back to each other.

No big deal, right? Just friends, just fun. No love, no drama. At least, that's what they tell themselves. Until the lines start to blur. "Just Friends" by @urfavvBlue (2024)Complete

Hunted
**COMPLETED*** This is book 2 and can be read as a standalone but I recommend you read "Fated" first. Something caught my eye and when I looked up in the mirror I saw Rykan stepping inside, shutting the door and sliding the lock in place. My heart hammered in my chest as he approached me. He came right up behind me, setting his hands on my hips, never breaking our gaze through the mirror. "Kora," he murmured, stepping closer until my back brushed against his chest. His hand slid down to the end of my skirt and he flattened his palm against my bare leg, sliding his hand up my skirt. "I'm married," I blurted, swallowing hard and trying to ignore how much I liked the way it felt having his hands on me. "Hm," he grunted, narrowing his eyes as he continued his ascension up my outer thigh. His touch sent tingles all over my body, sending heat right between my legs. He gripped my leg and suddenly turned me, his hand now palming my ass as he pulled me against him, his teeth scraping against my neck as his other hand up to my neck. "Didn't seem to bother you when you had me down your throat last night," he said, wrapping his hand around my throat and lifting his head to give me one of those heart-stopping stares. "In fact, I believe you started that, angel." Koralie always felt that there was a part of herself missing. A part she hadn't yet discovered. Stuck in a toxic marriage, she's navigating her way out of it when she meets Rykan, a mysterious stranger she feels an undeniable draw towards although she isn't sure why. Things become even more intense when he starts showing up in her dreams, claiming he is a werewolf and they are mates. An even more unexpected turn of events comes when Kora starts looking into the supernatural world and finds it is not as foreign to her as it should be. Warning: This story contains very mature themes including brief mentions of abuse, mature language, mental health and sexual content.Complete
Let Her Win

A slowburn you won't be able to look away from. This fanfic is inspired by the characters from the Netflix series "Bet".

The Slowest Kind of Love 4: For the Record [NamtanFilm]
They've always been looked at: in spotlights, on screens, through perfect filters. But being seen isn't the same as being known. Namtan is one of Thailand's top models. She's professional, flawless and always in control. Racha is a rising star with a past she's kept quiet. After years away, she's back with a new name and a promise to finally live on her own terms. When a fashion campaign pairs them up, something clicks. On set, they're professionals. Off set, things get harder to hide. And suddenly, the line between image and feeling starts to blur. But falling for someone in the public eye is messy. And in an industry where everything is for show, love might be the one thing they can't fake.. and the hardest thing to protect. A quiet slowburn full of tension, soft stares, and the kind of connection that refuses to stay hidden. πβ¦ Author's Rights Notice β¦ This story is an original work.
