For her, Against Him by PurpleBea6

How do you choose between the love you never asked for .... and the loyalty you can not survive without? What happens when love demands the one betrayal you swore would never happen? When silence speaks louder than words, and distance burns more than closeness ever could?

All That Remains by LittleAppleOrchard

They weren't each other's first love but they were the one that stayed long after the ending. A story of love, loss, and quiet rediscovery, All That Remains is about two people who had to lose everything to understand what was worth keeping.

Broken Pieces [h.s.] by bcsabrina

"Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation." -Khalil Gibran

Closer Than Words by cherieeeshme

Some tales of affection aren't loud. They hum softly in the space between heartbeats, in the warmth of a drink left waiting, in the brush of a shoulder on a crowded couch. He is the storm-gray calm the world can't touch, Yet she has always been the quiet exception. She doesn't see the way his gaze softens, The way his silence bends toward her, Until another presence stirs the air between them. But love, real love, often hides in plain sight, In glances that linger too long, in hands that almost reach, In moments that feel like the start of something neither dares to name.

between the spotlights by roseverse00

She was never supposed to meet him. He was never supposed to fall. But between fame, fear, and hidden messages at 3AM- they loved in silence... and broke in front of the world. A story about a quiet leader, a global star, and the love they were never allowed to keep.

STARCROSSED by frankoceansfishes

Sometimes people aren't meant to be in our lives forever. So while we have then, we must make the most of it and not hold back what we're feeling. Before it's too late.

Lost by _TheUnwrittenSoul_

People carry grief differently. Some let it shape them. Others let it hollow them out until there's nothing left but survival. They choose solitude, because what is the point of living when the soul is gone? Leo doesn't carry grief; he's buried beneath it. Ariella is left to watch it destroy the man her best friend loved. Two people, broken in different ways: one trying to outrun grief, the other trying to escape the pain of witnessing it.

Until Our Bodies Remember by AvaElorie

They thought they were done with each other. Years passed, lives changed-yet when they meet again, it feels like nothing ever did. The heart remembers. The glance betrays. The body refuses to forget. Now, face to face with the feelings they once ran from, they must ask: Was it ever truly love-or just a fleeting spark of youth? Memories can build a future... or tear them apart once more. A story of love's memory-and the spark that never dies.

Almost, Always (The Oblation of Hearts Series #1) by luvEditha

"He was never mine, but he always felt like home." Zara Elise Montemayor swore she wouldn't fall-for someone who couldn't even call her his. But Ezra Caelum Reyes? He made her feel everything... without ever making things official. No labels. No commitments. But what happens when someone new enters the picture? Someone sure. Someone soft. A green flag in a world full of red ones. Does she risk it all for the love that never chose her? Or walk away for the love that finally could? This isn't just a love story or a typical love triangle. It's about holding on, letting go, and choosing your peace -when your heart is torn between an almost and an always.

Loving Summer by writtenbyniyaah

Our Forever Began Then by LillyProse

We grew up chasing the same sunsets, sharing the same secrets, and dreaming under the same sky. She's been a part of every chapter of my life - from scraped knees to broken hearts. I've watched her laugh, cry, grow, and drift... and somehow, she's still the one I can't let go of. Sometimes love doesn't arrive - it's just been there, waiting for you to notice.

Collision Of Hearts by lxvviaa

What happens when two people who exist in the gray spaces of control and chaos, find in each other the permission to feel without restraint? Freya has spent her life as a ghost in her own skin. Brilliant but reserved, introverted in a family that treats her quietness like a defect, she's learned to live small, to want nothing, to expect even less. She's never craved the messiness of deep connection, never understood the appeal of letting someone see the raw, unpolished truth beneath her carefully maintained surface. Enzo is a different kind of controlled intimidating, stern, a man who moves through the world with the kind of presence that makes others step aside. He lives in the gray spaces between right and wrong, and he's made peace with it. When they collide, something breaks open. The walls she's built crumble under his attention. The control he's maintained fractures in her presence. What begins as intellectual intimacy long conversations that peel back layers rather than clothes becomes something neither of them can contain. "I will feel this as deeply and express it as violently as I please." It's the philosophy that drives this entire story the idea that feeling deeply isn't weakness, that expressing it boldly isn't chaos, and that sometimes the most profound act of courage is letting someone witness you unravel. Welcome to their collision.

The One I Almost Forgot by alextstories

They were a heartbeat away from forever - and then he walked away. Years later, Peter's back. Emily swore she was over him, but one look shatters that illusion. The tension builds, the air between them turns dangerous, and neither of them can - or wants - to stop it. Because some first loves don't fade. It just wait. 💚🌶️

2 GROWN by DIORLEIGH

Too young, too grown, one trip, one glance-Now they stuck.

Collide by silkylights

She grew up learning that love cuts deeper than knives. That safety is a lie. That survival is the only language she speaks. He learned to hide his bruises under smoke and speed. He doesn't fix what's broken. When their paths cross, it isn't fate. It's a collision. One that will drag buried trauma to the surface, unravel masks, and set everything they thought they knew ablaze. This isn't a love story. It's a story about what happens when two broken people stop running.

Letting You Go by nabihaayub

Sometimes, love doesn't fade away... it just waits for the right time to return. Two souls who once loved each other but were forced to part ways by a fate that wasn't on their side. Years passed, wounds have healed, hearts have come to terms-or so they thought. When fate brings them back together in a foreign city, long-buried memories begin to resurface. In the silence they once left behind, will they rekindle their love... or let everything go once more, this time for good?

she belongs to him by AnjaliKumari318586

There were rules she hadn't been told. Connections she didn't choose. And someone she had yet to meet... but would never forget.

You Talk Too Much by han8n_akayourdarling

Nicolas didn't want friends. Didn't want attention. Definitely didn't want her. But then Lina sat next to him. Every. Single. Day. She talked through the awkward silences, laughed at her own jokes, and asked questions he never answered. She was chaos in sneakers and bubblegum lip gloss - and he wanted nothing to do with her. ...Until he did. Because somehow, her noise started drowning out the thoughts he didn't know how to escape. And her voice became the only thing that made the silence bearable. This isn't a love story. Not at first. This is a story about a boy who lost his spark... And the girl who wouldn't let him disappear quietly. ✅ Nicolas ✅ Lina ✅ "You Talk Too Much" ✅ High school setting ✅ Healing + chaos + slow-burn (Btw I forgot to add that there will be no smut of any kind in this story. Maybe an innocent kiss or something but nothing else)
