They were best friends from the moment they met in the elementary school cafeteria Edward Collins, a quiet, kind-hearted boy from privileged , and Jacqueline Woods, a strong-willed, self-aware girl from the other side of town. Through childhood chaos, teenage dreams, and whispered secrets under starlit skies, they were inseparable. Two hearts, one world.
They came from two different worlds, but their hearts beat the same.
Edward Collins was the quiet, soft-spoken boy born into wealth and stability, raised by two loving parents who gave him everything-except the courage to speak his heart. Jacqueline Woods was the fierce, beautiful girl with a radiant smile and a soul far older than her years, raised by her hardworking single mother in a world that taught her how to survive before she learned how to dream.
From the moment they met, they were inseparable-two best friends who leaned on each other through every challenge, every heartbreak, every growing pain. In a world that didn't always make space for them, they made space for each other.
But when college came, life pulled them in different directions. Edward followed the path laid out for him-ivy league halls, boardroom tables, and a fortune waiting with his name on it. Jacqueline took the harder road, one filled with struggle, sacrifice, and silence. They lost touch... until fate brought them face to face again.
Now he's a wealthy man with everything he thought he wanted. And she's homeless, tired, and trying to hold on to what little she has left. But beneath the years, the pain, and the silence, their connection still lingers-quiet, powerful, and aching to better

The Space in Between
*** New chapter every Thursday ! *** None of them meant to hurt each other. That's the part people forget about slow-burning disasters, they don't begin with betrayal. They begin with kindness. With glances held a second too long. With private jokes that start feeling more like confessions. With one moment that could have meant nothing, and instead, meant everything. They were four people who once shared everything: the same group chat, the same half-formed dreams, the same late nights on rooftops and in lecture halls, talking about who they might become. And then the lines blurred. Someone kissed someone they shouldn't have. Someone stayed silent when it mattered most. Someone joked instead of admitting what they felt. And someone kept everyone else emotionally afloat while quietly sinking. There was no fight. No scandal. Just a slow drift into emotional ambiguity, a friendship that eroded in glances, apologies, and timing that never aligned. Now, years later, they've been asked to build an art exhibit together. The theme? Memory. It's poetic, in a cruel way. They're supposed to create something honest while still pretending they've moved on. But the truth is still there, buried beneath words unsaid, under a kiss that shouldn't have happened, inside jokes that now sting, and a friendship that still aches. This isn't a love story. This is what came after. This is the space in between.
Stung By You
I just close my eyes. Feeling him. Smelling him. Just existing close to him. My fingers clutch at his shirt, like it's the only thing keeping me from doing something reckless. Something completely, irrevocably stupid. Like kissing my son's best friend. And it feels so wrong. Oh God. So damn wrong. But then- His thumb shifts against my skin. A slow, lazy stroke. And suddenly, it feels so right. SO DAMN RIGHT. I breathe in too sharply. Mistake. He notices. Of course, he notices. His grip on my hips tightens. "You always this tense?" I force out a breath. "You always this annoying?" Leo laughs under his breath. "Only when I'm right." I tilt my head, and his eyes are already waiting for me-dark, unreadable, impossibly close. His fingers brush just above my waist. Barely there, but enough. Enough to make me hyper-aware of how easy it'd be to- "You wear this every night, don't you?" It takes me half a second to register what he means. The hoodie. His hoodie. *** 💔 She never expected to fall for him. 🔥 He never stopped waiting for her. 🏡 But some love stories don't follow the rules. Jenny Thompson moved to start fresh. A new neighborhood, a new home, a new beginning. What she didn't expect? Leo Mitchell. Her son's best friend. Fifteen years younger. And looking at her like she's something he's never stopped wanting. She tells herself it's nothing. She tells herself it can't happen. But then- 💬 "I don't know how to stop wanting this." 🔥 "Then don't." 📖 A slow-burn, emotional age-gap romance about love, healing, and the risk of wanting more. ** Taboo. Age gap. Off-limits tension. A love that shouldn't exist-but try stopping it.**Complete
Poisonus Love(Blackhat x Fem!Reader)
'No one talks about the blood and dirt underneath your fingernails when doing the right thing, which was always considered too hard to be done.' Y/n always fought for what felt right. Not for glory nor praise. And definitely not for any self-righteous, spotlight-hogging hero who always had people treating them like legends in a time of history. Life begins bringing reluctant alliances. Thankfully, Y/n learns important key details. One's she wished she had known before meeting a powerful, demonic cryptid. Chaos dressed with elegance, he- a monster content with watching the world cower before him- recognized a familiar fire in Y/ns eyes. They'd bring a messy rivalry with many kinds of wrong she wanted to avoid. Struggling to stay away from a strange mark upon her, he felt a pull that only grew more as time moved on. Something within the chaos that both adored began pulling them closer. Close enough that flirtation would meet fury, and morality would bend for the other's sake. Both couldn't know just how hard it really was to avoid falling. "That's one badass lasso wonder man!" "For a dead girl, you don't look too bad without much on." Dying in such a way where her body deems it almost impossible to pull her soul back. Even then, she'd come back, yet feel the full force of being forced back into her broken vessel. "She's only telling us this because it's fanfiction...!~" WELCOME TO POISONOUS LOVE!!! SOMETHING I'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR OVER A YEAR(Yet haven't uploaded a damn thing about- UNTIL NOWWW) TW- violence, blood, death, suicide, contains (probably) smut, lemon, lime- all of that.

"I think it's best we stay cordial while we're here. You know, avoid any awkwardness," I say, trying to sound casual. Jay leans against the doorframe, his eyes flickering with amusement as he watches me. "You want to be friends?" "No. I mean, not friends. Just civil," I answer, a little too quickly. "Okay.

CLASS 12: WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
Class 12, isn't just the end of a school journey-it's a blur of deadlines, farewells, and moments you don't realize are special until they've passed. Somewhere between the ringing bells, morning assemblies, and scribbled last-minute notes, two students find themselves drawn into a story neither of them expected to be part of. They don't sit together. They don't share a friend circle. And yet, the distance between their rows somehow feels smaller with every passing day. What begins as silence turns into stolen glances. What once felt like coincidencet begins to feel like fate. And in the middle of routine school life-amidst exams, chalk dust, and whispered conversations-a quiet connection starts to bloom. This isn't a story of grand gestures or dramatic declarations. It's a story of slow changes, subtle signs, and the kind of love that grows softly... and stays with you long after the final bell. . . . . . . . . . ✨ TROPES ✨ ➡️ Anagha × Dhruv •Extrovert sunshine ☀️ x Introvert mystery 🌙 •She talks first, he listens harder •To her, he was just a crush.
