Adrian Velasco lives in numbers, codes, and systems. As a computer engineering student, logic is his comfort zone-predictable, measurable, and controllable.

Selene Navarro studies the one thing logic can't fully explain: people. As a psychology major, she believes emotions and behavior matter just as much as data.

When a university research project forces them to work together, their worlds collide-logic versus intuition, code versus complexity. What begins as reluctant teamwork slowly turns into something neither of them planned: an understanding that challenges their beliefs and a connection that blurs the line between the mind and the heart.

In a place where equations meet emotions, will they find balance-or lose themselves in the unpredictability of it all?All Rights Reserved

To: The Framing Nook, 47 Pine Crescent by Annika_Dane

This story is written and owned by Annika Dane (also posting on Royal Road) He was supposed to leave. She wasn't supposed to matter this much. Falling in love wasn't part of the plan. Brian's ready to disappear. Burned out, restless, and convinced he's wasting his life, he's already packed his escape plan. No attachments, no mess. Then there's Rebecca. Quiet, stubborn, and impossible to ignore. What starts as a distraction turns into late-night talks, shared playlists, and a connection Brian never expected. But opening up isn't easy when doubts and fears get in the way. Between misunderstandings, old insecurities, and the weight of everything left unsaid, they'll have to figure out how much of themselves they're willing to risk. He reads people easily but struggles to read himself. She keeps her feelings tucked away where no one can reach. And somehow, in the middle of all that, something real begins to take shape. A slow-burn college romance about messy feelings, unexpected connection, and the terrifying risk of letting someone truly see you.

The Weight of Silence-- A spin-off of Keeping Promises(COMPLETED) by kahani1

Some stories begin with fireworks. This one begins with silence. Not the kind that comforts. The kind that echoes through the spaces people leave behind- through empty hallways, unread messages, unanswered calls, and the quiet ache of things unsaid. Rohan Kapoor was a man shaped by that silence. A tenured Stanford professor of ethics and behavioral economics, he believed in rationality, discipline, precision. He lived behind walls built brick by brick from heartbreaks he never let the world see. Grief turned him clinical. Abandonment made him orderly. And love- he left that behind long ago. Lyra Wang never asked for softness. Raised in a small, chaotic immigrant household where love meant sacrifice and ambition meant survival, she learned early that emotion was a luxury. And vulnerability? A danger. A prodigy in statistical economics, Lyra believed in the logic of markets, not the mess of hearts. But life doesn't always follow theory. When Lyra arrives at Stanford for her postdoctoral fellowship, their worlds collide-fierce minds, opposing ideologies, guarded souls bound by buried wounds. What begins as friction shifts into tension-then something neither of them expected. In the hush between words, in late-night coffee and quiet glances, in anger and comfort, longing and restraint- they begin to unravel. The Weight of Silence is a story of two people who speak different languages of pain but somehow understand each other anyway. It's about loss. And healing. About holding on. And letting go. And how, sometimes, the most beautiful things bloom in the silence we've been running from all our lives.

HER LOVER'S ALIBI by Creativeminx

Aria Sen moves to Bangalore, hoping for a quiet, steady life-just her rented apartment, the metro ride, and her new job at Aurum Biolabs. But nothing about her new beginning stays quiet for long, especially not when she meets Raghav Mehta, the senior researcher whose calm voice and steady presence unsettle her more than the complex experiments ever could. Raghav isn't the loud, charming type. He's gentle, observant, and dangerously attentive in ways Aria isn't used to. The more they work together-late evenings bent over microscopes, shared coffees, small careless touches-the harder it becomes for her to ignore the pull between them. He makes her feel seen in a world where she has always been invisible. But the comfort she feels around him is cut by an undercurrent of something darker. There are things Aria can't explain: odd files updated at midnight, restricted lab doors left unlocked, whispers about internal audits, and the strange tension that flashes in Raghav's eyes whenever he thinks no one is watching. Aurum Biolabs may look clinical and bright, but shadows live in its corners-shadows that seem to circle him. As Aria's feelings deepen, so do the secrets surrounding Raghav. And the closer she gets, the more she realizes that the truth is nothing like the man she thinks she's falling for. Because in a place built on evidence and precision, one thing is certain- every secret leaves a trace... and Aria is about to uncover one that will change everything.

Lines of Authority by drvmmy

When Laura Westwood moves to a new town, she hopes for only one thing: peace. She wants to work, avoid attention, and finally cut herself off from the past no one here needs to know about. The new school is supposed to be the place where she can finally draw all her boundaries herself - clearly, simply, without gaps. But reality doesn't follow the plan. Especially when her quiet, distant demeanor starts to spark curiosity, and while trying to run from her own emotions, she crosses paths with someone who can bring them out of her far too easily. Demeter Schalke has something Laura notices from the very first lessons - a hypersensitivity, stubbornness, a need to be seen. Something she should ignore. Something that slowly becomes the only thing she can't ignore anymore. The boundaries Laura sets with such precision begin to shift. Not suddenly. Not dramatically. But through small gestures, conversations, moments no one else sees - moments that grow heavier week by week. Both of them try to keep a safe distance: Demeter - because she doesn't know what to do with the attachment growing inside her. Laura - because she knows all too well how dangerous it can be to step into someone else's life.

Extra Credit by Xmintflake

"Why do you always avoid my questions?" "I'm not, it's just that there's nothing to say. Who would ever want to date someone they can't even talk to? It's not rocket science. My eyes are weird, and people get tired of me eventually. There's your one-page essay. Now please don't snow me to death .-." "What? All that you just said is a lie. And I should snow you to death for even saying that! I would definitely date you." "...Thanks." 🍒｡･ﾟ♡ﾟ･｡🍓｡･ﾟ♡ﾟ･｡ Dallas Addison had it all; being a talented swimmer and dating the star of the football team, she didn't think she lacked anything in any capacity.

An Education In Restraint by HollynMonroe

Nineteen-year-old Iris Vale returns to Greystone University determined to step out from her father's shadow and finally choose a future of her own. But her plans unravel when she meets Adrian North-a brilliant, composed new adjunct professor, and her father's rising protégé. He's everything she wants to avoid. She's everything he shouldn't want. What begins as harmless tension quickly deepens into something neither of them can name. As lines blur between ethics and emotion, Iris and Adrian must decide how far they're willing to go for something they were never meant to have. An Education in Restraint is a slow-burn, dual POV romance about longing, boundaries, and the quiet danger of wanting what you can't touch.

Fragile Lies (discontinued atm) by thelittlejoker

Izel never meant for one reckless night to follow her into the daylight. But the memory of Adrian Vale, his touch, his voice, the way he made her feel seen, clings to her like a bruise she can't hide. He's off-limits now. Her professor. A line she should never cross again. But desire doesn't care about rules. As the pressure of secrets builds, so does the pull between them, messy, intoxicating, impossible to ignore. And with every lie told to protect what they shouldn't want, the truth only cuts deeper. She was supposed to move on. He was supposed to resist. Neither of them knows how to let go.

Falling for the Goddess by Stellatrix04

Sara Hart, a gentle and seemingly soft woman on the outside, hides an independent and clear-headed spirit. She has secretly admired Adrian Blake, a man who defies the typical image of a cold and domineering CEO. Adrian Blake is distant and detached, especially when it comes to women, leaving everyone wondering what kind of woman could ever melt his ice-cold heart. After breaking away from his powerful family, Adrian Blake disappears from the public eye, and people lament the fall of a once untouchable figure. However, in a surprising twist, he reappears at the launch of a new company. During the interview, Adrian Blake casually reveals his wedding ring, answering the host's question with nonchalance, "I didn't want my wife to work so hard to support the family, so I had to step out and do something." Sara Hart, who has hidden her feelings for years, has always chronicled her thoughts in a photo album - a collection of memories and secrets from her school days. At the end of the album is a poem she wrote during a moment of heartbreak: "To love someone is like creating a belief, serving a god that could fall at any moment. But my god will never fall." She carefully set a deadline of two years to keep her emotions in check, awaiting the day when she would face judgment. When she finally reaches the last page of the album, she finds a new line written in a bold and powerful hand: "I give you the loyalty of a man who has never believed in anything." Her god, it seems, has fallen for her. This is a story of hidden love, inner strength, and the unexpected vulnerability of the untouchable.
