Branded By You by Fading_Romance

[On Hiatus, will be back soon] Aarav Verma is 32, a soft-spoken marketing professor with a quiet charm that sneaks up on you. At 6 feet tall with a sharp gaze behind his glasses, Aarav lives a life driven by discipline, stability, and purpose. When he's not teaching at Delhi University, he freelances as a marketing consultant-every rupee going towards paying off family loans and securing a better future for his parents. Love? He doesn't have time for it. Aarav believes marriage is something he'll think about later-maybe in two or three years, and most likely through his parents. No distractions, no complications, just a life that makes sense. Misha Kapoor is 25, the fiercely independent CEO of a rising fashion brand, with ambition stitched into every thread of her identity. She walks into boardrooms in her signature stylish formals, always five steps ahead of the industry and ten steps ahead of anyone who doubts her. She's confident, bold, and unapologetically herself. But beneath the business brilliance is a young woman who still believes in love-the kind that finds you in the unlikeliest places and refuses to let go. She's not looking for a relationship right now-but she's never stopped believing in the idea of something real. When their paths collide-through a consulting deal neither of them fully wants-the lines blur. He's methodical. She's impulsive. He avoids mess. She thrives in it. And neither of them expects the tension brewing beneath their arguments, the glances they can't ignore, or the connection they weren't ready for. Tropes: Opposites Attract Power Imbalance She Fell First Forbidden Work Romance Rational Professor X Passionate CEO Emotionally Guarded Male Lead X Hopeful Female Lead Arranged Marriage Mindset X Waiting-for-Love Heart Mutual Respect Turned Tension Turned Love

In the corridors of a bustling school, six lives intertwine-each carrying secrets, dreams, and scars they never dared to share. Meera, bold yet broken. Saransh, the silent protector. Nisha, soft-hearted but guarded. Dhruv, the joker hiding silent tears. Seema and Rishabh, the chaos wrapped in laughter and love. What starts as innocent classroom banter soon blossoms into deep friendships, unspoken crushes, heartbreaks, and the kind of love that lingers even in silence. As the group journeys from teenage pranks to grown-up dilemmas, they face the brutal beauty of life-unexpected confessions, misunderstandings that sting, sacrifices that go unnoticed, and a ticking clock none of them are prepared for.

SPOTLIGHT by thefreebird_05

Scandalous and Relentless. These are the two words used to describe Mayra Sharma. Being an outsider in the dazzling world of Bollywood, she had learnt it the hard way, that she'd have to fake her way up the pedestal of fame. Now that her career is on the rise, she finds herself tangled in somebody else's mess, such that her personal life is splashed across the tabloids for all the wrong reasons. With the stakes so high, she has no option but to play along and fabricate a fake relationship with the golden boy of the nation. Arrogant and Charismatic. Aaryan Malhotra was born with a silver tongue and an enigmatic smile, and he unapologetically flaunts it to the world. Besides being a musical prodigy, his life revolves around the small circle of people who are close to him. For someone who is loved by everyone, he, ironically, finds the notion of love atrocious. Until love holds his hand in it's gentle grip, and pulls him towards it. So when someone close to him is threatened to exposure following an unfortunate sequence of events, he finds himself entangled with a woman who has a history of stealing headlines. As they ignite a media firestorm with their flashy public displays, the lines between reality and deception blur. And with the spotlight upon them, the shadows of deception grow darker. Secrets are exposed and scandals erupt, as they navigate their way across the treacherous waters of love and lies. But as they say, fame's a game, and we are it's pawns. So how long can they fake it until reality catches up with them? Will the rose of their fabricated romance blossom into love or will it wilt under the spotlight? Maybe you'll get the answer in tomorrow's headlines ;)

Burn for Me by thebestauthorxyz

He watched her laugh with someone else, and it lit a fire he could no longer hide. Riya has always stayed out of trouble. Quiet. Sharp-tongued when she needs to be. And perfectly content flying under the radar-until two boys change everything. Darshan is the school's golden flirt-charming, confident, and impossible not to laugh with. Aarav is her complete opposite-cold, unreadable, and infuriatingly silent... until he's not. She's never been his. He's never claimed her. But when Darshan starts getting too close, Aarav's jealousy starts to burn a little too loud. And when it finally explodes? Secrets unravel. Hearts collide. And Riya is forced to answer the one question she's been running from: What happens when the one you tried to ignore... is the only one who's ever really seen you? And what happens when people don't have the good intention they seem to have? Will hearts shatter? Will it heal?

The Kalyanam Conundrum | arrangedmarriage x slowburn by katietripps

One arranged meeting. One long-distance boyfriend. One very nosy grandmother. What could possibly go wrong? Kavya Iyer has her life mostly figured out. She's halfway through her PhD, in love with a sweet Midwestern boy, Noah, and finally getting a grip on adulting (sort of). All she wanted this summer was to enjoy mango season, binge some 90s rom-coms, and power through her dissertation in peace. Instead, she's ambushed by an "innocent" set-up that then blows out of proportion. It is complete with filter coffee, overenthusiastic family members, and the boy... who actually winks at her like he's the hero in a Karan Johar movie. Enter Arjun: frustratingly charming, dangerously clever, and way too comfortable with this entire charade. Kavya wants nothing to do with it. But when texts turn into conversations, and conversations turn into something harder to ignore... her already messy life starts spiraling in unexpected directions.

❥Crushing on my best friend's brother ♡ by thefrictionalworld

"Some crushes fade with time. Mine only grew... even after he broke my heart." Aavya Joshi never believed in love at first sight-until she met Viryansh Mishra. Cold, impossibly handsome, and the most eligible bachelor in Lucknow, he was also the one man she could never admit her feelings for... because he was her best friend's older brother. They barely knew each other, yet their families were close. And when Aavya's secret crush became too big to hide, she did the unthinkable-she confessed. But that day didn't end with a fairytale. It ended with a truth that shattered her, a heartbreak she couldn't tell anyone about... not even her best friend. Now, no matter how hard she tries, she can't forget him. And in a city where their paths keep crossing, resisting Viryansh is becoming impossible. Will she guard her heart... or let the man who once broke it have the power to destroy it all over again?

Between Words And Whispers (Completed) by authorprachi

They met in the most ordinary way - two strangers in crowded corridors of Delhi University. But somewhere between shared coffees, quiet walks, and the space between words, something extraordinary began. Aarav Mehta - calm, guarded, the boy who hides his emotions behind soft smiles and grey hoodies. Shree Nair - gentle, overthinking, the girl who finds comfort in rainy evenings and unspoken feelings. He's never known how to fall in love. She's never believed someone would stay. Yet somehow, they find home in each other - in glances that linger, in texts left unsent, in the silence that says everything. But love isn't always loud. Sometimes, it's the quietest thing in the room - the kind that sneaks up on you, changes you, and stays long after the world stops watching. #CollegeLove #SlowBurn #IndianRomance #WattpadLoveStory #EmotionalRomance #DelhiUniversity #FirstLove #SoftBoyEnergy #ComfortCouple
