✯TIDES OF BELONGING ~ A Highschool Love Story✯
"Sometimes, home isn't a place-it's a person who makes you feel seen."
To those who believe in love that arrives softly yet stays forever.
──────•❥───────
✯VIHAAN PATHAK - the golden boy senior✯
Vihaan was the kind of boy who could make anyone smile-confident, charming, the kind who flirted just to make others feel good.
But behind that easy smile was a boy who never truly let anyone in.
A born leader, the heartbeat of every crowd, yet lonely when the noise faded.
He believed attachments were distractions... until she came along.
The quiet girl who preferred shadows over spotlights, books over parties, peace over chaos.
The one person who never tried to impress him-just looked right through him.
And somehow, that's what made him fall. Harder than he ever thought he could.
"Main chahta toh sabse door reh sakta tha... par tumse chah ke bhi nahi."
──────🧸──────
✯ANVI KASHYAP - the quiet storm junior✯
Anvi was not loud-she was midnight rain.
Calm. Composed. Beautiful in her silence.
To people, she seemed reserved, almost distant. But once you truly knew her, she could talk endlessly, with laughter that warmed even the coldest hearts.
A topper, a thinker, a girl who fought for her respect and stood tall for those she loved.
She didn't believe in fairytales. She believed in effort, in respect, in understanding.
And yet, when she met him, her carefully built walls began to tremble.
He was sunlight-steady, blinding, and too warm to resist.
She was the storm that taught him how to feel the rain.
"Tumhare saath waqt rukta nahi... bas thehra sa lagta hai."
──────•❥──────
Vihaan x Anvi - Because sometimes, belonging isn't about finding someone who understands you-
It's about finding someone who chooses to stay.

Whisper's of destiny
🌌 Whisper's of Destiny 🌌 By @ashii_verse 🖤 "Some stories aren't meant to be told. They're meant to bleed through silence... and leave scars where no one sees." --- Avni. Soft. Subtle. Almost invisible to the world. But beneath her quiet grace lies a storm she's too afraid to name. She doesn't raise her voice. She doesn't ask for more. She simply exists - until he sees her. The man no one dares to look in the eye... yet she meets his gaze with trembling honesty. Rajveer. Sharp mind. Cold presence. A man who speaks less and controls more. He doesn't crave love. He craves silence, control, and order. But there's something about her - the way she lowers her eyes when he speaks, the way her fear doesn't hide her truth - that draws him in like a storm waiting to be unleashed. --- ❝ You look at me like I'm human, Avni... ❞ ❝ But I've spent my whole life making sure I'm not. ❞ ❝ And still... ❞ ❝ You make me want to be yours. ❞ --- This is not a love story. This is restraint and desire at war. A girl too soft for his world. A man too dangerous for hers. And a fate that ties them together - not gently, but violently. He doesn't know how to love. She doesn't know how to leave. And somewhere in the silence between them, something begins to burn... slowly, darkly, beautifully. ✨ Whisper's of Destiny - a haunting slow-burn of longing, power, and a love so quiet... it leaves nothing untouched. ---Complete

𝐆𝐔𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓 ✦ Beneath Her Silence, Secrets Burn ✦
🌹 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 Aria arrives at her new school carrying more than just a past-she carries a silence sharp enough to cut. She doesn't look for attention, she doesn't ask for friendship, and she definitely doesn't believe in love. Not anymore. Her world is built on rules: Stay small. Stay quiet. Stay hidden. But everything starts to shift the moment Shivansh Rawat begins to notice her in ways she can't ignore. He watches her the way no one ever has-carefully, respectfully, like he's trying to understand the shadows she refuses to speak about. He doesn't push. He doesn't pry. Yet somehow, he gets closer than anyone should be able to. His presence is steady. His patience is disarming. And his care? It's the kind of dangerous that scares her... because she wants it. Aria feels the walls she built trembling against him-this boy who quietly steps into the spaces she guards most fiercely. He makes her question everything she believes about trust, safety, and love itself. But darkness doesn't disappear just because someone kind walks in. As she becomes part of a world filled with loud laughter, fierce loyalty, and friendships that burn bright-Rohan and Avni's fiery clashes, Saavi and Akshat's warm, teasing spark-Aria begins to feel something she has long forgotten: Hope. Hope that terrifies her as much as her past ever did. Because secrets don't stay buried forever. Sometimes they rise exactly when you start to heal. And Aria's past carries shadows that don't loosen their grip easily. Guarded Heart is a story of slow-burning romance, emotional unraveling, and the quiet bravery it takes to let love in when you've learned to fear it. Some hearts hide because they've been hurt. Some hearts protect because they care. And some hearts... collide so intensely, the world around them shifts. 💞 Slow Burn × Emotional Healing 🔥 Enemies to Lovers 🫶 Brother's Best Friend 🌸 Found Family & Fierce Friendships 📖 School Life
Baawariyaa {COMPLETED✔️}
She was the girl who never spoke up. He was the boy who couldn't. Saanjh has always followed the rules - the good daughter, the quiet listener, the perfect bride-in-making. But behind her composed silence lies a heart aching to be heard. Then comes Vihaan - the boy with ink-stained fingers, untamed thoughts, and a voice the world rarely hears. Once silenced by selective mutism, Vihaan now chooses his words carefully... and his people even more so. He doesn't speak much - but when he does, it feels like poetry. Their connection is not loud. It doesn't come with grand confessions or dramatic moments. It comes in shared glances, late-night scribbles, and quiet understanding. In a world that punishes softness, their silence becomes rebellion - and their love, a sanctuary. A tender, aching tale of two misfits who find in each other the courage to be seen, to be heard, and to be entirely themselves - no apologies, no noise, just truth. Some stories don't need words to be felt. Some loves begin in silence... and never stop speaking.Complete

"Destiny didn't choose her. It cursed her." Dominant ML & Dominant FL. ( Mafia King ×Lawyer) ✨ She was destiny's forgotten child. The girl no one chose. The bloodline no one claimed. The truth the world buried. *ANANYA SHARMA*- innocent, soft, broken, healing... living a life made of lies and held together by borrowed love. And between all that darkness, one boy stood beside her like a quiet protector. *Ishaan Thakkar*-her best friend, her safest place, the silent devotion that never asked for anything in return. He loved her the way prayers love temples- softly, secretly, endlessly. But fate had other plans. Darker plans. ✨He was the devil Banaras whispered about. The man who ruled fear. The shadow the city bowed to. *VARDAN SINGH RATHORE*- obsessed, dangerous, untouchable... haunted by the little girl who once saved him, claimed by her before she even knew his name. She didn't know he watched her grow. He didn't know she carried the lineage he wanted to destroy. She trusted him with her scars. He trusted her with his silence. She learned to love again in his arms. He learned to breathe again because of her. But the truth always returns. She was the one he was sworn to kill. And he was the man she was destined to fear. . . One man waiting with open hands. One man burning the world to get her back. This isn't a love story. It's the curse three souls inherited. The bond she never chose. The war they were born into. The longing none of them can escape. Because some people aren't meant to love freely- they are meant to love tragically. She was his- since the moment she saved him. Since the moment she broke. Since the moment he broke. But she was also the only heartbeat Ishaan ever prayed for. In a world where blood decides loyalty and destiny chooses enemies... They were the Unchosen Ones. Bound. Damned. And cursed to love in all the wrong ways- where choosing one man means destroying the other. #1 in new story 🎀
