Room 406 Series 3

Zephra Amihan Rios never talks about her almost-love story with Evren Malix Santiago-the boy who walked her home every Friday... and disappeared before graduation. No explanation. No goodbye. Just silence.

Now in college, Zephra's built a quiet life, far from the messy ache of unfinished stories. But one letter-hidden in an old shoebox-changes everything.

Because he wrote it.

Because it was for her.

Because he never meant for her to find it... years later.

And just when she begins to unravel the version of him she buried, Evren reappears. Same crooked smile. Same quiet eyes. Acting like the past never cracked them open.

But Zephra?
She remembers everything they almost were.

And she's not sure what's worse:
That he left-
Or that part of her is still waiting for the boy who once called her home.



This is a story about the heartbreak of timing, the letters we never send, and the people we never quite stop loving.
Even when we pretend we have.

Love Me Like We Used To by Hereticloverr
7 parts Ongoing Mature
They were inseparable - until they weren't. Now, they barely speak. Eighteen-year-old Amaria and Elias were childhood best friends. Late-night calls, secret handshakes, inside jokes - they knew each other better than anyone else. That is, until something happened in Year 13 that tore them apart. Whispers. Betrayal. Silence. Amaria is stepping into her first year of university-Year 14-with high hopes, a fresh start, and her best friend Zara by her side. She's ready to focus on her degree, leave the drama of secondary school behind, and grow into herself. But the past isn't done with her yet. Elias, the boy she ghosted after an emotional confession at the end of Year 13, is not only attending the same university-but he's in the same seminar group. What starts as stolen glances and awkward silences quickly reignites into tension, confusion, and the kind of chemistry that never really disappeared. Elias's older brother, Noah, is also on campus-more grounded and protective, offering occasional advice and support, especially when things between Elias and Amaria get messy. As Amaria balances her coursework, complicated emotions, and the realities of adulting, she's forced to reckon with the pain she left behind-and decide whether she's brave enough to stop running from it. Amaria's still guarded, still bruised by everything he didn't say back then. Elias? He acts like nothing happened, but there's guilt hiding behind his easy smile and that same look in his eyes whenever he's near her.

"Every step you take away from me only drives you closer to the brink of my madness. You belong to me, Winter. Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight. But when she's tasked with stalking five powerful Heirs, her carefully crafted invisibility shatters. Her mission is clear: erase their scandals, track their every move, and never draw attention. Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world. But when she makes one fatal mistake, he uncovers the sharp, wild mind she's concealed beneath fragile masks of pink and purples. Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.

18+ content with sexuality and domestic violence and traumatizing experience _________________________ Raised in a home where love was a foreign language, and in a school that made her question her worth every single day, she grew up mastering the art of silence. For five years, they bullied her. Her family watched. And no one ever asked, "Are you okay?" Then came him-charming, warm, and everything she thought she needed. Her first real taste of love... until he ripped her soul apart with betrayal. Heartbroken and reckless, she stumbled into someone new. A stranger who turned into a storm. Sparks flew, boundaries blurred, hearts collided. But when emotions got too real, she vanished... leaving behind a mess neither of them could forget. Years later, just when life finally seemed calm, her past returned-him. The boy she once dreamed of. The boy she never stopped loving. But this time, love isn't simple. Secrets. Regrets. Forbidden emotions. And a truth that could ruin everything. She's not the same girl anymore. And love? It's not the fairy tale she once believed in.
