North, Ter, Phoon, and Dao are four boys stitched together by shared pain-broken homes, emotional scars, and the quiet understanding that no one was coming to save them. Fresh out of high school and desperate for freedom, they run south, chasing distance from their pasts and a paycheck big enough to buy them a future. Their refuge? A luxurious golf-and-beach resort where survival comes in the form of tips, overtime, and biting sarcasm.

Enter the Dragon Heirs.

Johan, Hill, Arthit, and Tonfah-infamous, obscenely rich, and untouchable. The heirs to the country's most powerful empire are worshipped and feared in equal measure. Resort staff whisper about them like urban legends: rude, ruthless, and dangerously cruel. Everyone avoids them. Everyone-except four broke, traumatized boys who desperately need tuition money.

Unlike the rest, North and his friends couldn't care less about family empires or terrifying reputations. To them, the Dragon Heirs aren't monsters-they're walking ATMs. Whether it's enduring verbal abuse as caddies, driving them around like unpaid therapists, serving drinks while being flirted with and insulted in the same breath, or simply standing there looking pretty enough to earn a tip, they take it all with a forced smile and a sharp tongue. Fear doesn't pay for college-but sarcasm might.

When a runaway, problematic gang collides with four spoiled, power-drunk young masters, chaos is inevitable. Insults turn into banter. Power plays turn into lingering looks. Somewhere between arguments, accidental confessions, and very inappropriate tension, something dangerous starts to bloom.

Is it just chaos?

Or is it romance-loud, messy, ridiculous romance-threatening to ruin all of them in the best way possible?

Intern Chaos - A fourever you fanfic by Regina_Anais
12 parts Complete
North thought his internship would be simple: learn, survive, don't get yelled at. Then he got assigned to Prang. Gatekeeper of the executive floor. Queen of calendars. Destroyer of egos. North tries to be "invisible competence." Instead, he becomes Intern Chaos: coffee incidents, printer crimes, accidental CEO encounters, and one fainting episode that turns the whole building into a rumor factory. Enter Jiew Gang (his ride-or-die intern squad): ✨ Phoon the marketing sunshine with a sensitive heart ⚖️ Ter the HR menace with weapons-grade policy knowledge 🎨 Dao the quiet designer who draws people when he's stressed And then... the Lunch Invasion begins. Johan's older friend group starts showing up every day "just for lunch" until it's basically an occupation. Unfortunately, one of them is Johan himself: the cold, controlled CEO who keeps his distance, refuses to abuse power... and still can't stop watching North like he's something fragile the world shouldn't touch. With strict guardrails, HR paperwork, and Prang enforcing boundaries like law, this slow burn stays ethical, consent-first, and deliciously tense. Expect: 🥢 daily "just here for lunch" chaos 📎 workplace boundary plans + protective CEOs 💬 micro-moments, jealousy contained in private, tenderness earned 🔥 side couples that sneak up and ruin you: Thit/Dao, Fah/Phoon, Hill/Ter 💗 found family vibes, interns vs corporate life, and love that doesn't cost freedom.
Undercover Bodyguard by janvierbeau
32 parts Complete
North, Ter, Dao and Phoon grew up as brothers in the same rundown orphanage, adopted by a legendary military general who raised them with love and a slight obsession with self-defense. Now in their twenties, they look sweet and innocent-but give them a weapon, throw them in a fight, or mess with anyone they're protecting, and you'll regret it. Trained in 13 martial arts, six languages, sniper-level shooting, and psychological warfare (because why not?), they're the ultimate bodyguard squad. They can disarm bombs, hack satellites, break bones with chopsticks... but they'll scream at a ghost and lose their minds over cake or puppies. Their overprotective father had always refused to let them be bodyguards-until one day, they accidentally wiped out a squad of the King's elite guards during training. Impressed (and terrified), the head of royal security assigns them to secretly protect the royal heirs, all while enrolling them in royal university. Johan, Hill, Arthit and Tonfah aren't just royal-they're walking Greek god statues. Johan is brooding, Arthit is a smirk machine, Hill has beauty that stops time, and Tonfah's so ethereal he might actually be a fallen angel... with a sass level that could kill. The problem? The royal heirs refuse to be protected. But North, Ter, Dao and Phoon? They're assigned. And this time, it's royal orders. Now they're enrolled in university-trying to blend in while secretly protecting the heirs. But it's chaos every step of the way, with sniper rifles in hoodies, royal heirs escaping at every turn, and ghost stories that send these tough guys running for cover. The mission's deadly-but they're also the funniest bodyguards ever.
QUAD SECRETS, Ilia Malinin by angeliceverleigh
29 parts Ongoing
"Victoria Rowe is a human metronome. Reliable. Consistent. And utterly forgettable." To the skating world, eighteen-year-old Victoria Rowe is the girl who never falls-and the girl who never wins. After a devastating twelfth-place finish at the 2025 World Championships, the critics are louder than ever: Victoria is "safe." She's a "double-jump specialist." She's a relic of an era where playing it cool was enough. But Victoria has a secret. In the quiet, midnight hours of frozen rinks, she isn't the ballerina Arthur, her controlling coach, wants her to be. She is a powerhouse landing quads that aren't supposed to be possible. Fed up with the labels and the limitations, Victoria makes a choice that shocks the skating world: she leaves the only coach she's ever known for the high-velocity camp of Tatiana Malinina. Training alongside the "Quad God" himself, Ilia Malinin, Victoria must do more than just find her technical edge-she has to find her voice. From the Grand Prix circuit to the bright lights of the 2026 Olympics, Victoria is no longer playing for a clean sheet. She's playing for a revolution. Because the only thing more dangerous than a girl who can jump is a girl who has nothing left to lose. number 1 in #figureskating on 02/09/26 number 1 in #skating on 02/10/26 number 1 in #ilia on 02/10/26 number 1 in #milan on 02/10/26 number 1 in #teamusa on 02/20/26 number 1 in #winterolympics on 02/22/26 *Please keep in mind that I myself am not a figure skater!

The Heart's Compass 2: To North, Always. by MaxxieHope
34 parts Complete
"Even when the world gets loud, love knows how to speak softly." A year after their slowburn relationship, Johan and North are no longer just two people drawn together by chance-they're each other's favorite constant. Johan, now a fourth-year medical student, is stepping into the fast-paced world of clinical rotations, chasing his dream of becoming a surgeon with unwavering focus. North, meanwhile, is thriving still as the Powerhouse Council President, leading with heart, innovation, and his signature easygoing charm. Life is busier than ever. Their days are packed with responsibilities, meetings, hospital rounds, and endless deadlines. But love? Love has found its rhythm in the quiet moments-the late-night video calls, the surprise visits, the comforting words towards each other, and the simple fact that no matter how far apart they are during the day, they always find their way back to each other. In this next chapter of their journey, Johan and North learn that love doesn't have to be loud or grand to be real. Sometimes, it's in the way Johan remembers North's favorite after a long shift. Or how North cheers Johan, just to feel closer when they're apart. Their matching rings were the symbol of their never-ending love for each other. To North, Always is a soft, heartwarming continuation of The Heart's Compass-a celebration of love that adapts, strengthens, and stays steady, even when life gets busy. Because some hearts don't just fall in love. They grow in it.
Behind Royalty by MaxxieHope
30 parts Ongoing
North, the enigmatic Crown Prince of the Natchanan royal family, has lived his life behind a carefully guarded veil. Trained since childhood to rule with both strength and wisdom, North hides his identity from the world due to political threats and his father's belief that kindness is a weakness. Despite the palace pressure and suffocating expectations, North remains a gentle soul, beloved by his younger siblings-Nai, a bright 17-year-old student, and Naomi, a spirited 10-year-old learning the royal arts. But when the weight of royalty becomes unbearable, North escapes the palace, leaving behind the only life he's ever known. He takes on a new identity, living modestly as a second-year electrical engineering student at Thailand's most prestigious university. There, he quietly works at a nearby café and hides in plain sight. Enter Johan-the arrogant, wealthy, and dangerously charming leader of the 'Heirs,' a powerful group of students from elite families. A third-year medical student born into old money, Johan has always had the world at his feet. He's used to getting what he wants-until he meets North. There's something about the quiet, kind, and mysterious boy that unsettles him. For the first time, Johan finds himself wanting to understand someone deeply... and love him honestly. But love is never simple when secrets this big are at stake. How will Johan win over a boy who doesn't even know him, when that boy happens to be Thailand's hidden crown?
