She wasn't looking for anything - just miso.
Still in her scrubs, hair messy, body humming with post-shift exhaustion, she only stopped at Waitrose to grab something quick. What she got instead was a stranger.
Tall. Warm-eyed. Too beautiful to be real.
He handed her a jar from the top shelf and smiled like it meant something.
She didn't even know his name.
Two days later, she saw him again.
Aldgate. A crowd. His voice threading through the noise like a memory she hadn't meant to keep.
Still, he didn't see her.
And she didn't call out.
Because what do you say to someone who was never supposed to matter - but does?

The Shadows Of Illusions
She carries scars no one sees. He carries secrets no one survives. When their paths collide, it isn't fate-it's a collision of two broken histories trying to rewrite themselves. She's spent years running from the shadows of her past, the memories that claw at her mind when the world goes quiet. He's spent just as long hiding behind masks, illusions, and the lies he tells to keep everyone at a distance. But the closer they get, the more their pasts begin to unravel-thread by dangerous thread. Every touch feels like a promise. Every silence feels like a confession. Every truth they uncover threatens to destroy the fragile bond forming between them. Because loving him means facing the darkness he's buried. And loving her means confronting the ghosts she's never escaped. Together, they must decide whether their love can survive the weight of the illusions around them... or whether their pasts will pull them back into the shadows for good.
My Delusional World
"Do you believe me?" He asked softly, his green eyes caressing my face before settling on my eyes. His fingers caressed my hand as he looked into my eyes, obviously waiting for a sincere 'Yes'. "There's 'lie' in believe." I said it with a blank face. My internet-addicted ass can never reply normally. Well, I can't help it. ------------ Everyone thinks she's crazy. In a ruthless medical school, Elena is a misfit-bullied, broken, and labelled delusional. What her classmates don't know is that they're the reason she's slipping. They've been secretly dosing her with LSD. When her mother brings her to a gentle psychologist, something shifts. He sees the girl behind the "delusions." As she starts to heal, boundaries blur - and so does her grip on reality. How do you love someone when you're not sure what's real? A slow-burn romance. A dark look at trauma, recovery, and love. Give it try.

Love Misunderstood
I only ever met one man I'd call truly noble. He was a man who was misunderstood and worthy of the world, yet everyone saw him differently. That was until I saw his true colours. The more I caught his eye the more he noticed me. We would pass each other, I would always stare a little longer at his back, wondering his story. People used to move out of the hallways if they saw him approaching whereas people would come and talk to me. He kept to himself, I was never alone, he had no friends, I was friends with everyone, I never saw him talk to anyone I spoke to many. we were polar opposites. At least that's what I thought until that day in the library, that is where I will start this story. Everyone is different, I hate the word "different", I much prefer the word unique. Unique is the only way to describe him. This is not just a story about love, it is about helping two souls who act differently but are the same on the inside, it shows the messy parts that aren't shown in movies, the tragedy, and the comedy but most of all the sizzling romance between two broken people who became one. Who is this story about? Caden James. But this is not just his story, It is ours.Complete

Two men, one new life and a second chance she never saw coming. Isabella Solène Hart was supposed to be a bride. Instead, she became a woman who walked away from betrayal, from shame, from the version of love that left her undone. London offers her nothing but silence and strangers and that's exactly what she needs until it starts to offer more. A job at a luxury PR firm, a flat that slowly becomes a home, a local café with warm coffee and warmer smiles, a neighbour with a cat named Rufus and a shopkeeper named Robert, gruff, loyal, quietly becoming the father figure she never had. But nothing shakes her more than the two men who begin to orbit her new life. Skylar, the charming café owner with kind eyes, he makes her laugh again, makes her feel again, but when it matters most... he stays silent. And Sebastian, the enigmatic CEO with ice-blue eyes and power in every breath. He shouldn't be looking at her the way he does, he shouldn't know who she is, but he does and what begins as a spark quickly threatens to set fire to the walls she's still rebuilding. Now Bella must navigate more than just a second chance, she must decide what kind of love she's ready for and whether she can open her heart again without losing herself in the process.

Almost, Always 🍁🥀
"Almost, Always" 🍁🌹 Some people enter your life like whispers...soft, sudden, and gone before you can hold on. She didn't expect to see him again. Not after years, not like this. Not when she had finally learned how to forget the boy who never truly left her mind. But fate isn't loud..it's quiet, casual... cruel. In a classroom filled with noise, their glances screamed stories. A slow-burn connection, unsaid words, and almosts that could've been everything. This is not a fairytale. This is a memory rewritten..with the ending she deserved.

She was eighteen. Barely out of med school. Barely a woman. And today, she was an intern. The hospital was alive with a pulse all its own-monitors beeping, wheels rolling, voices cutting through the air, alarms wailing. Every second counted. Every choice had consequences. Every patient carried a story she couldn't yet understand. And she had to step in anyway, pretending she already knew how to hold life in her hands. Secrets waited behind every door, in every whispered conversation. Colleagues who smiled could be plotting, nurses who laughed could be judging. She would learn quickly that trust here was fragile. Feelings she hadn't yet named would be tested-and sometimes broken. Friendships would fracture. Admiration would turn to resentment. Love, for people she once held dear, would splinter into a thousand jagged pieces, leaving her to gather them up, careful not to cut herself in the process. Mistakes weren't just mistakes here-they could be fatal. Every misstep weighed heavy, every hesitation amplified. Yet in the chaos, there were glimpses of triumph: the steadying of a terrified patient, the relief of a family who thought hope had fled, the quiet pride when a procedure went right, even if the world didn't notice. Her body ached from exhaustion. Her mind raced from information overload. Her heart trembled under the weight of responsibility she hadn't been prepared for. And still, she pushed forward, determined, stubborn, alive. Because this was the beginning of everything she had worked for. The beginning of a life that demanded courage, focus, and relentless resilience. The beginning of a journey where she would be tested, broken, and rebuilt. And somewhere, in the corridors of this hospital, between life and death, between despair and hope, she would find out who she truly was-and what it meant to survive. female oc x male oc
