(HeartSync Files #1) Pending.
That's what the HeartSync beta tester app called it when Aria Soleil Tan accidentally got matched with Sebastian Caelum Vale, the campus basketball star, shameless charmer, and the absolute last person she thought she'd be stuck with.
The glitch would've been bad enough, turning their pending status (and private chats) into the campus' newest meme material. But when their Media Comms II professor pairs them for a semester-long project, Sol realizes Seb isn't just in her notifications. He's in her group calls, her calendar, and her head.
Now, every meeting, every edit session, every joke that lingers a little too long is happening under the entire school's watch. And somewhere between deadlines and distractions, "pending" starts to feel less and less temporary.

The Love Hack
When freelance programmer Arty hacks into his own matchmaking app to pair himself with his crush, he enlists the reluctant help of his best friend Ben-whose feelings for Arty might run a little bit deeper than "just friends"-forcing him to confront whether true love is closer than expected. Standalone in the Mismatched series *** Arty Mavety believes love is a formula waiting to be solved, and he's determined to prove it by hacking into the matchmaking app he's developing to pair himself with his crush Leo, a neighborhood barista who barely knows Arty exists.

Wait For Your Love {ariana/you}
When Y/N lands a job as Ariana Grande's personal assistant instead of going to college, she expects long hours, endless travel, and chaotic schedules-but not the slow, aching pull of feelings they have no business developing. From the early days of the Yours Truly era, through the highs of superstardom and the lows of heartbreak, Y/N is always there-managing interviews, arranging travel, and ensuring Ariana's world runs smoothly. But as the years pass, their connection deepens. The stolen glances, late-night conversations, and quiet moments between rehearsals blur the lines of professionalism and longing. By the time the Sweetener tour arrives, Y/N can no longer deny it-she's in love with Ariana. Spanning over a decade of music, fame, and unspoken words, Wait for Your Love is a slow-burn romance about timing, devotion, and the love story that was always in the background, just waiting for its moment. ___________________________________________________________________________________ I don't have a huge plan for this other than an idea of a plot and some scenes that have popped into my head so I have no idea how this thing is gonna go. Wicked, Cynthia, and Ariana are my current hyper fixations so I needed to do something with it. Hope it doesn't suck!

DILLON'S P.O.V "Sweet dreams, Ariana." I whispered in her ear, causing her to shudder. "And just remember, I mark off those who are dead to me. Who no longer have a place in my cold heart...you are not leaving any time soon." **** ARIANA'S P.O.V The drinks affects seemed to be like a blanket. I felt squished in my own skin, my consciousness ebbing away but my limbs still moving, although barely holding me up. I was mentally dragged down as distant pulses entered my ears, my feet sliding across the table in succession to the dancing everyone was encouraging me to do. My eyes swivelled around as the scent of alcohol wafted closer to me, many hands shoving, pulling and gripping at me. I needed air that wasn't tainted with sweat and rotten with beer, but the more I unconsciously danced, the more I didn't care about anything. **** Peer Pressure! Restrictions! Betrayal! Gossip! Abuse! That list might be Ariana Coopers' biggest problems in school, but the outside world is a whole different story. Unraveling Aria's past and digging deeper into the truth is the only way she can find out who she truly is. That's not necessarily a good thing...or a bad thing. **** 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁, 𝗮 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝗿𝗲-𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻! Volume. One in the Deeper Chronicles © CopyrightComplete
Inspire: Book One (bxb) ✔️
Book One of Five in the New Beginnings Series. **You do NOT have to read Inhale, Exhale, & Breathe to enjoy these stories** #1 in bxb tag: 09/21/2024 #4 in friendstolovers tag: 9/21/2024 CYRUS PIERCE: I'm content in my almost soundless world. I prefer to live through the romance stories I weave and post online. Hardly anyone reads my books, even if they're free, but I do have one fan, and he's supported me since I started writing two years ago. Except, my writing started to take a depressing dive when I realized that you simply couldn't prevent nor protect your heart from falling for someone. For him. For the one who had no interest in me. When I fell in love with him, I thought we had a chance. It was an accident. Turned out, I couldn't be more wrong. He doesn't want me, and I wasn't supposed to have him. It didn't matter if he showed up in the bookstore every day, talking to everyone else except me. Nor did it matter at all because he didn't know sign language. He couldn't learn. We couldn't communicate. But after I go on a date and it ends in putrid disaster, he makes his appearance known, and he's angry. Then he's doing things for me that confuse me. My stories are filling up with pages of content, dreams that I want to come true, and my mystery commenter encourages me to continue-to reach my happiness. To take what I want. But the activities planned start sparking familiarity-like I lived it before, or maybe dreamed it. Or maybe, just maybe, I'd written it before? My mind is spiraling, but I can't stop myself from getting closer and closer to him. I'm not supposed to have him, but my heart craves him. Sage Monroe, I'm in love with you, and I'm scared now because I have a feeling that you've been communicating with me in more ways than one.Complete

The Bossy Tycoon Falls for Me
Ava's best friend had a plan - her second brother was rich, tall, and good-looking. She told Ava to go on a blind date with him and "lock it down," so they could become sisters-in-law. Good news: Ava did sleep with someone. Bad news: it was the wrong guy. Crazy news: she accidentally married him. When her best friend found out the next day, she nearly had a meltdown. Ava tried to comfort her. "Hey, don't cry. My husband's even hotter than your brother. I'm not losing here!" Her friend wiped her tears, panicking. "Hot? Who cares about hot?! My *older* brother is stricter than a drill sergeant - old-fashioned, serious, cold as ice! The man practically lives by the rule book. Sure, he's easy on the eyes, but he has zero redeeming qualities! Marry him, and you'll be crying every day, standing at attention, and probably sleeping alone half the time. Ava, you just jumped straight into hell!"
Until I Met You
UNEDITED After violating campus rules and committing student misconduct, twenty-three-year-old Warren Ashford is deep trouble and at risk of losing his volleyball scholarship -- the one thing he truly values other than his bad boy reputation, and his family. There's only one way Warren can salvage the scholarship that's giving him a free ride through university and that involved keeping his lifestyle low-key. Meaning, no partying at clubs on Friday nights and no late-night hookups with random girls. No fun. Just him, his education, and volleyball. Oh -- and the high-strung, sassy girl with the deepest brown eyes he's ever seen. The moment she walks into his dorm room -- the same room she's staying in because of a glitch in the computer system -- he wants nothing more than to strip her down both physically and mentally. Not only is she immune to boys like Warren, but she makes it obvious that she's not interested in having any kind of relationship with the campus' star athlete. Warren likes the challenge, but little does he know that Nova Elliot, behind her spitfire attitude and deep brown eyes, is still nursing a broken heart and a past full of despair. The last thing she wants is to hand her heart over to a boy like Warren Ashford (who has a faultless smoulder) -- the kind that only ends up breaking hearts after toying with them. But as the winter semester passes and the heat of summer arrives, Warren's bad boy charm begins to crack Nova's structurally built walls as the two of them head out on an unforgettable trip to Halifax. The two of them begin to learn that two people often fall in love with the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time and do unexpected things.
