She runs the show behind the curtain - fierce, sharp-tongued, and in control of every moving piece in the WWE machine. He's the brutal, golden-voiced main event talent who thrives in the spotlight, but can't seem to stay out of her way.
They can't stand each other.
They don't understand each other.
But when fire meets fire backstage - in creative meetings, rehearsals, and the occasional late-night flight - the lines between hate and something hotter begin to blur.
She's gothy, guarded, and constantly fighting battles no one sees.
He's loud, stubborn, and refuses to let her push him away.
This is not a love story.
This is two people burning at both ends - until one of them finally lets the other see what's underneath the fire.
A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance set against the fast-paced, high-stakes world of pro wrestling. Expect: backstage brawls, accidental sleepovers, biting banter, soft confessions, and the kind of heat that sneaks up on you when you least expect it.

Burning Passion ▹ ROLLINS [COMPLETED]
• THE BURNING SAGA • (1) BURNING PASSION ▹ ROLLINS (2) BURNING LOW ▹ SCURLL (3) BURNING HEART ▹ CIAMPA (4) BURNING GLASS ▹ RICOCHET (5) BURNING LIGHT ▹ CORBIN (6) BURNING GOLD ▹ BLACK (7) BURNING ROADS ▹ DUNNE --- They have a ❝BURNING PASSION❞ for love... Eleanor Nicole Knight, otherwise known as just Ellie to her friends and family, had one little, yet bizarre, dream in mind since she was a little girl - and that was to become a professional wrestler. She went by the ring name of ❝The Dark Angel❞ Scarlett Knight. Alongside her best friend and partner-in-crime, Lillie Cortez (otherwise known as ❝The Anti-Angel❞ Lillie Luna), they are about to take the WWE by storm. Now, however, Ellie is insecure and reserved, almost innocent-to-the-touch, driven girl. However, she has a bad past that she can't seem to run away from, but that's before wrestling came into the picture, of course. But when she's thrown into an on-screen love/hate relationship with an seemingly nice Colby Lopez (famously known as Seth Rollins), she doesn't know what to think, considering the fact he's a total ass towards her off-screen. She can't wait until she gets away from him every night. Despite being so rude and cocky, while she forms this sort of soft hatred towards him, he goes out of his way to protect her in and outside of the ring. Something starts to drive her completely up the wall about him and she can't seem to figure out why. When the lights go out and the spotlight's on just them two, it ignites a burning passion within the both of them. It's something neither of them have ever known before. Ellie is bound and determined to get deeper into Seth's past the best that she can before it's too late... Before he pushes her away permanently. Unless, perhaps, this could be the burning passion love they have been seeking all along... ▹ COMPLETED AS OF 09|12|17 ✔Complete

Almost Aligned | A CM Punk x Reader
It's 2008, Jenny, a 24-year-old backstage production assistant at WWE, never expected to fall for one of the company's top stars, let alone the famously straight-edge and sharp-witted CM Punk. What began as quiet glances and shy conversations soon turned into flirty banter, late-night texts, and something neither of them were quite ready to name. Between long travel days, hotel rooms, and the chaotic rhythm of wrestling life, Jenny finds herself drawn deeper into Phil Brooks' world, and his heart. But balancing work, feelings, and the fear of getting hurt isn't easy. Especially when your crush is charming, guarded, and well experienced. Told with intimacy, warmth, and all the fluttery tension of a slow-burn romance, Almost Aligned is a story about found connection in unlikely places, the quiet thrill of growing close, and what happens when two people realize they don't want to let go.

Berlin | Harry Styles 2025 fanfiction
She wasn't looking for him. He wasn't supposed to stay. But Lotte, the sharp-eyed café owner with a soft heart and no need for English, knew better. In a quiet Berlin café filled with secondhand furniture, old vinyl records, and Lotte's unbeatable cherry cake, Emi lives a life of stillness-small, steady, safe. Then Harry Styles walks in, quiet and unshaven, trying to disappear. What starts with shared glances and mismatched mugs becomes routines, soup bowls, and late-night confessions. Emi pretends not to know who he is. Harry pretends he's not falling. And Lotte? She sees everything-and starts nudging them together with cake, eye-rolls, and more than a little mischief. But secrets don't stay quiet forever. When the world comes calling and Harry's love songs start sounding a little too familiar, Emi has to choose: stay hidden in her quiet corners-or finally risk being seen. A slow-burn, aching love story about intimacy, anonymity, and the grandmotherly matchmaker who always knew best. --- Warning : It's very slow and very long!Complete
Linger || Bakugo x Reader
"I don't know how to be like this. But I'm tryin'. For you." Y/N grew up learning how to disappear. She stayed quiet when it hurt. Took up less space. Learned how to smile when she wanted to scream. She knows how to read people - their moods, their shifts, their silence - but she's still learning how to listen to herself. Now she's twenty-one. A pro hero with steady hands and a soft voice. She tells herself she's fine. She always does. Twenty-two, Pro Hero. He's the same rough edged, explosive, quiet and aggressive guy. But around her, it's different. She's quiet, steady - and something in him wants to protect that. So he keeps his distance. Not because he doesn't care, but because he does. More than he ever had. He's scared she'll get hurt. Scared he will, too. But no matter how far he pulls back... she lingers. In his head. In his chest. In all the places he thought were locked..Complete

Moonlight Kisses
"Why are you doing that!" she whisper-screams while her eyes flit to the other guys, who are now immersed in something else that isn't us. I kiss that spot again, making her whole body shiver. It's oddly entertaining to watch what my slightest movements do to her. Usually it takes a lot more for a girl to unravel this way, but her breath hitches each time I go to kiss her neck. I could only imagine what my hands could do to her body. "You still didn't answer my question," she huffs harshly. And still she hasn't pulled away from me. Had I been any stupider, I'd say Jordyn was actually enjoying herself. If she hates this so badly, why hasn't she asked me to stop? [] In August, Jordyn Reeve starts attending Crestview Prep and not long after strikes a deal with Beau Clemonte, an arrogant, rude boy who happens to be the thing that can give her what she wants: his best friend, Jake Amherst. Of course, everything worthwhile must come with a price. Despite her outright opinions, Jordyn makes a deal with the devil. Or at least that's what that's what she saw at first -- a coldhearted, stubborn asshole that cared even less than she did. Her only intention was to see this out to get the guy. However, it wasn't that simple for Beau. Cover created by: @meha-k Started October 2020 Completed January 2022Complete
