At Celestine International Academy, where ambition meets prestige and every student is chasing something-dreams, fame, or escape-two unlikely souls find peace in each other.
Jeo Ong-charming, loud, and every professor's favorite wildcard.
Aurelia "Lia" Reyes-quiet, guarded, and the new girl who prefers fading into the background.
They were never meant to talk.
But one writing club project changes everything.
No sparks, no butterflies-just the slow, steady beat of something real growing between them.
This isn't your typical campus romance.
It's late-night study sessions, awkward silences that turn safe, and feelings built one sentence at a time.
In a world full of noise, will they find refuge in each other's stillness?
Because love that burns slowly... burns the deepest.

𝓑𝓾𝓻𝓷𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓑𝓵𝓾𝓮 - 𝓢𝓲𝓶𝓸𝓷 𝓢𝓮𝓿𝓲𝓵𝓵𝓮
In which... At the University of Sydney, sparks fly in the lecture halls when Isadora Rodriguez, a sharp-tongued, charismatic overachiever with a wild streak, collides with Simon Seville, the uptight, bespectacled academic perfectionist known for his cold logic and killer grades. What begins as a war of words and one-upmanship-sabotaged presentations, snide remarks, and brainy brawls-quickly spirals into late-night study sessions full of tension, quiet admiration masked as competition, and stolen glances they refuse to admit mean anything. As the year unfolds, the walls come down: Isadora sees past Simon's stoic exterior to the boy who's been pushing himself to exhaustion, desperate for recognition and security. Simon discovers the vulnerability behind Isadora's bold front, the insecurities she hides behind her sarcasm and chaos. There's jealousy. There's denial. There's a moment in the library that almost turns into a kiss. There are rainy nights, blanket forts, drunken confessions, and the quiet realization that they've stopped wanting to win against each other... and started wanting each other. The tension breaks somewhere-with one impulsive, heated kiss that turns into a full emotional unraveling. By the time they admit their feelings, it's messy, beautiful, and absolutely worth every insult hurled. From rivals to reluctant partners, to lovers who now know every version of each other-this is a story of growth, vulnerability, chaos, intimacy, and undeniable love between two people who never expected to fall for the one person who challenged them the most. Enemies to lovers Slow-burn with explosive payoff Fluff hidden under layers of angst and tension Smart people being absolute idiots about their feelings Longing. Pining. Banter. Chaos.Complete

All My Blood: For the Sweetness of His Laughter [Bruabba]
'Living without brevity and for forever would be a curse living amongst the unseen silhouettes of dreamscapes. Still, it's a wistful thought that remains in the back of the minds of those with mortal lives, who cannot see forever without a blanket of the ends of time, that is, the deathless abyss shuttering them away. At least, when you live for forever, you see.' A College AU fanfiction about Bruno, a student that is currently pursuing Law and Leone, a student that is currently pursuing Criminology. The two meet under erratic circumstances, and find one another again in a much proper fashion. What becomes the haunting barricade of their connection are the heartstrings that are slowly withering inside Leone. (posted on AO3 @lomi11)
