💔 Ruin Me Softly - Story Description:

She was the girl who walked through fire and never asked to be saved.
He was the boy with ash on his hands and demons in his eyes.

When Yuna transfers to Blackridge Academy, all she wants is a fresh start - silence, stability, and the kind of loneliness that doesn't hurt. But then she meets Kairo Vale: reckless, magnetic, and cruel in all the ways that make her heart stutter. He's the warning label she should run from - but instead, she looks him in the eyes and dares him to ruin her.

What starts as a clash of scars and sharp words unravels into something neither of them are ready for - a connection that feels like drowning in velvet, a love that tastes like blood and slow-burning stars.

But Kairo has secrets. And Yuna has rules. And this isn't the kind of love that saves you.

It's the kind that wrecks you beautifully.
Softly. Completely.
Like the last song before the silence.

OBSESSION. too personal by _Jane_D_O_E

This could have been a gentle story for quiet autumn evenings. But it shattered against Morphine - a chapter that will not let you stay indifferent. And now, you'll understand why. This is not a story about perfect love. It's about healing through pain, about love that blooms after trauma, and about the fragile line between salvation and obsession. She is a woman rebuilding herself from the ashes. Not strong - simply real. A mother. A fighter. A writer whose words cut deeper than truth itself. She doesn't want to be someone's muse - she only wants to be understood. He is the man the world worships... and fears. A legend. A symbol of an era. But behind the fame, there's a man haunted by his own darkness. Together, they are fire and gasoline - two broken souls learning how to love without losing themselves. Their story isn't a fairytale. It's an age-gap dark romance about redemption, grief, and the courage to love again. With touch. With words. With silence between the lines.

Fragile Hearts by ShoshannaBlackAuthor

𝘚𝘩𝘦'𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘸-𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘯𝘰 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘢𝘸. Calla has always known she wasn't wanted. Not by her parents. Not by her seven siblings. Not even by the servants who barely acknowledge her. She's used to being ignored, used to being unloved-and used to quietly loving someone who doesn't love her back: her brother's best friend, Kieran Holt. But when he snaps at her in a moment of carelessness, something inside her breaks. Calla begins to fade-stops reaching out, stops speaking, stops trying. And when her body finally gives out from an illness no one even knew she had, her family is forced to face the truth: the sister they all overlooked was slowly disappearing right in front of them. Kieran is the first to realize just how badly he hurt her. And he's determined to earn her trust, her forgiveness... and her heart. Because now that he sees her for who she really is-soft, strong, worthy-he'll never look away again. A heart-shattering, slow-burn brother's best friend romance about trauma, healing, and being loved out loud for the very first time.

Notes between us 🎹📝 by Ellymaetales5

Backstory: Adrian Vale was born into wealth - the kind that comes with power, respect, and danger. The Vale name carries weight, tied to an empire built on generations of business...and the darker world beneath it. To outsiders, Adrian is everything they envy: charm, fortune, legacy. But behind the tailored suits and expensive watches is a man who wants none of it. Music is his only escape - the piano, the only place he can breathe. In the Vale household, though, passion isn't purpose. His father made that clear: a man's worth comes from numbers, not melodies. When his father dies, Adrian inherits everything he never wanted - the money, the power, the loneliness. Every smile feels fake. Every date, a transaction. So now he tests people, playing the part they expect: the rich bachelor who can buy anyone's affection. Most fall for it. Until Rowan. Rowan Hart grew up in a house that was always one paycheck away from falling apart.Her mother works double shifts, her sister juggles school, and Rowan takes care of her ailing grandfather. Writing was her escape - a way to make sense of the chaos. Then, one night, her words reached someone. One story went viral, and suddenly, Rowan Hart was a name people knew. But success didn't change her heart. She still lives in the same small house, still worries about bills and hospital visits. She's learned that love and honesty mean more than money ever could. When Adrian Vale walks into her life - charming, distant, and too polished to be real and she sees something beneath the surface. Loneliness. The same kind she's written about for years. And maybe, just maybe, the stories she writes aren't just meant to heal her anymore. Maybe what's she's been writing was manifesting him to her.

Heart In The Haze by autumnpeonies

Ash Stone has never expressed what he feels, not once in his entire life. So how could he ever find the words to say he's in love with a girl who hates him? Lyliana Martinez is fire, loud, fearless, explosive. And Ash? He's fire too, but the kind that stays quiet... the kind that burns inward until it destroys itself. She lashes out. He shuts down. She pushes him away. He never leaves. Bound by a connection they both refuse to name, they're about to discover that love, when left unspoken, can either save you, or consume you. Because sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is love someone. And sometimes, it's the very thing that breaks you.

Blossom by MaryRose_Author

A scandal. A stranger. A slow-burn game neither of them is ready to lose. Sienna Parker built a life out of being perfect. Picture-perfect, camera-perfect, brand-perfect. But after her glamorous engagement implodes in the most public way imaginable, she escapes to the English countryside to lick her wounds alone. At least, that was the plan. What she finds instead is Julian Livingston: a modern-day Duke with old-money manners, devastating restraint, and a stare sharp enough to see straight through her curated world. He's infuriatingly unreadable. Ridiculously attractive. And absolutely not part of her recovery plan. But when two people who refuse to be vulnerable keep circling the same emotional battlefield, tension becomes its own kind of intimacy. With every encounter, the line between sparring and seduction begins to blur. Behind the barbed words and stolen glances, something deeper brews, something neither of them is ready for. She's all chaos and deflection. He's all composure. Together, they're a slow unravel waiting to happen. If you love emotionally charged banter, aching tension, and two fiercely guarded hearts trying not to fall, Bloom will consume you. ***Content Warning*** This story contains mature themes including sexual content, emotional manipulation, morally complex relationships, cheating, and adult language.

Mouth To Sin by Elowyn-Black

He was chaos in leather and ink, a stage set on fire, a body worshipped like sin. Years ago, she loved him before the world did. Before the lights. Before the ruin. Now he's back- older, harder, hungry in ways the music can't sate. And when their eyes lock across the noise, it isn't the past that burns between them. It's the promise of something darker. Something reckless. Something that could consume them both. In the shadows of backstage corridors and under the thunder of a thousand voices, desire becomes a language they both remember- feral, aching, unfinished. And this time, he doesn't plan on letting her walk away.
