You Remind Me Of Someone I Used To Know by Rickeyia_Gaines

Lorelei hasn't spoken to Atlas since the summer before high school-the summer everything fell apart without either of them saying why. Now, halfway through sophomore year, she finds him back at the creek where they used to play as kids. It's awkward. Unexpected. Quiet in a way that feels like it used to be something louder. They try to move on. But when a school project forces them together, the past doesn't stay buried for long. Not the memories, not the silences, and definitely not the things they left unsaid. Some stories don't begin with falling in love. Some begin with what happens after everything breaks-and what might still be left to salvage

Closed doors, open hearts. by Deity_Milkovich009

𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚. In the eyes of everyone else, they're just friends; untouchable, ordinary, and safe. But when the world isn't watching, the truth of whispered confessions in the dark gets heard, hands that linger too long are felt, and hearts beating too loud are revealed. Every secret moment feels like paradise, but also like walking on a knife's edge. Because if their love is uncovered, they both could lose everything, yet neither of them could imagine letting go of the other.

You Talk Too Much by han8n_akayourdarling

Nicolas didn't want friends. Didn't want attention. Definitely didn't want her. But then Lina sat next to him. Every. Single. Day. She talked through the awkward silences, laughed at her own jokes, and asked questions he never answered. She was chaos in sneakers and bubblegum lip gloss - and he wanted nothing to do with her. ...Until he did. Because somehow, her noise started drowning out the thoughts he didn't know how to escape. And her voice became the only thing that made the silence bearable. This isn't a love story. Not at first. This is a story about a boy who lost his spark... And the girl who wouldn't let him disappear quietly. ✅ Nicolas ✅ Lina ✅ "You Talk Too Much" ✅ High school setting ✅ Healing + chaos + slow-burn (Btw I forgot to add that there will be no smut of any kind in this story. Maybe an innocent kiss or something but nothing else)

Until Our Bodies Remember by AvaElorie

They thought they were done with each other. Years passed, lives changed-yet when they meet again, it feels like nothing ever did. The heart remembers. The glance betrays. The body refuses to forget. Now, face to face with the feelings they once ran from, they must ask: Was it ever truly love-or just a fleeting spark of youth? Memories can build a future... or tear them apart once more. A story of love's memory-and the spark that never dies.

Where Love Left Scars by CryBabyChapters

"We said goodbye for the sake of growing up. But growing up didn't mean moving on." At Rosebridge University, Mirabel and Caden meet again-not as lovers, but as best friends carrying unspoken history. They broke up in high school when Mirabel's grades slipped, and she blamed the distraction of love. Caden let her go, believing they'd find their way back someday. But now that "someday" is here, everything is more complicated than he ever imagined. She's stronger. He's quieter. And their hearts? Still speaking the language of "what ifs." But in between stolen glances, late-night talks, and buried memories, their story is far from over. Because sometimes, letting go was never the end. It was just the pause before everything changed.
