Yumeko Jabami has everything - a perfect fiancé, a powerful family, and a future the world envies. But none of it feels like hers.
Then she meets Kira Timurov. Elegant, guarded, and quietly magnetic, Kira is everything Yumeko was never allowed to want. Their connection is immediate. And impossible.
What begins as a spark deepens into something neither of them can name - something that asks Yumeko to risk everything she's ever known. But love this real doesn't come without consequences. And silence, once chosen, is hard to take back.
Told across cities, letters, and late-night confessions, this is a story about first love, impossible choices, and the long road back to the person who sees you clearly.
A slow-burn sapphic romance about yearning, legacy, and the kind of love that keeps finding its way home.

The Slowest Kind of Love 3: All This Time [MilkLove]
A story about timing. About liking someone when you're not supposed to. About falling for a friend when things aren't simple. About confusion and self-doubt. About staying close even when your heart wants to run. This story follows Pansa and Loveruk. Two people who were almost something for a long time. They become real friends. The type of friends where you share snacks, show up without asking, and pretend it's nothing when it's obviously something. 📌✦ Author's Rights Notice ✦ This story is an original work.

Checkmate [Yumekira]
At St. Dominic's, everything is a gamble - your power, your secrets, your heart. Kira Timurov rules it all from the top, untouchable and two steps ahead. Until Yumeko Kawamoto shows up with a smile too sweet and eyes that never blink. Their first bet was supposed to be simple. It wasn't. Now they're stuck in a twisted game of one-upmanship, obsession, and attraction, where every move is loaded, and every word is a dare. It's slow, it's dangerous, and it's anything but clean. One wants control. The other wants chaos. But when the line between love and strategy starts to blur, one thing becomes clear: Someone's going to get played. And neither of them is ready to lose. ------------ I'm back to writing after a long break, and English is not my first language, I hope you'll be indulgent and enjoy this story 🫶🏻Complete
Summers We Survived
For as long as Kira Timurov can remember, her life has been dictated by her father's ruthless vision for their family legacy. At seven years old, she learned her future was already decided: an arranged marriage to Yumeko Jabami, the daughter of a powerful Japanese family. Summers were spent together under watchful eyes - some were bright with laughter, others heavy with resentment - until the bond between them frayed into wary silence. Years later, St. Dominic's Academy becomes their battleground. Kira, cold and calculating, refuses to be caged into a future she didn't choose. Yumeko, all patience and quiet defiance, wants only to reclaim the childhood friend she lost. But in a school where power is gambled and won at the table, every smile hides a strategy and every glance could be a wager. Told through the push and pull of the present and summers past, their story unfolds in high-stakes games, reluctant alliances, and moments neither of them can quite forget - a scraped knee and whispered comfort, a stolen kiss under drunken lights, a dare that lingers for years. As the games escalate and family pressures tighten, both must decide what they are willing to risk: the power they've fought for, or the person who's always been at the other side of the table. Because sometimes, even in an arranged marriage, you get to choose how you play the hand you've been dealt.Complete
Accidentally In Love
At St. Dominic's Academy, reputation is survival. No one understands that better than Kira Timurov, the Ice Queen president whose authority keeps the school in perfect order. Enter Yumeko Jabami - a radiant chaos in red ribbons and brown eyes, gambling her way up the hierarchy with reckless joy. Every risk she takes sparks more rumors, more whispers... and somehow drags her closer to Kira. To the students, it's a spectacle. To the council, a scandal. To Kira, it's a nightmare she can't control. And to Yumeko, it's the most exhilarating gamble of all. And behind it all, the St. Dom's Gossip Hub chronicles every rumor, every near-confession, every spark - until the whole academy is watching their enemies-to-lovers saga unfold in real time. At St. Dominic's, #YumeKira isn't just gossip. It's canon.Complete![The Slowest Kind of Love 1: Flirt First, Fall later [EmiBonnie]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/399296163-256-k115748.jpg)

Queen of Spaded Hearts
This fanfic is dedicated to all fans of Kira and Riri. I decided to stray a bit from the canon( it's about Kira&OFC and Riri&OFC), so I want to focus on the relationship between the main character and the Timurov sisters. By the way, the main character can be seen as a self-insert, but I gave her a name and backstory, since I'm not a fan of the typical Y/N fanfics. P.S. If you're a devoted fan of the Mary/Riri pairing, I'd recommend skipping this story - they won't be explored here;)Complete
Lipstick & Leather
Kira's a guitarist with a reputation for burning bridges. Yumeko's a model who knows how to smile through anything. When a scandal threatens their careers, their agents craft the perfect distraction: a relationship built for the cameras. The public plays along. The press eats it up. Behind the scenes? Two egos. No trust. Too much heat. It was supposed to fix everything. But some lies don't stay pretty for long.Complete
