The Faux Muse by Untold_Vision

Everyone thinks Kaia's "balling." They don't know about her overdue bills, the job she was fired from, or how exhausted she was from her day to day life. She's picky because she's been burned - and she's determined not to waste time. So, when her best friend Ryah announces a double date, Kaia agrees to - ONE LAST BLIND DATE, only to keep the peace. But Ryah's mystery guy looks different, talks different, and pushes at a part of Kaia she's kept locked tight. Add in Ben & Jerry's, a rerun of Modern Family, brutal honesty between friends, and a plan that takes a few left and right turns. If you like sharp banter, messy truths, and slow-burn chemistry that makes you laugh, Kaia's about to give you exactly that.

Hate Me Gently by Queenchimtae

"You talk too much for my liking". "And yet, here you are, listening". . They were once everything to each other- until time, distance, and silence turned them into strangers.

And yet, something keeps pulling them back, something buried beneath forgotten memories and words never said. It was supposed to be hate. But hate was never meant to feel like this. They were never supposed to meet. Never supposed to care. But the past has a way of finding its way home - even when it's been forgotten. What happens when two people who were once everything to each other... become strangers again? Started- 10th July, 2025 Ended- 21st December, 2025 ✨ Most impressive ranking ✨

How it Happened by lalalalawriting

So, I'm kinda clumsy. I tripped when I walked across the stage to receive my high school diploma, knocked down a ladder that was supporting my dad, and sneezed into a wall. Yup, you read that right. I sneezed myself into a wall. So maybe I am a walking train-wreck trapped in a lanky twenty-two-year-old girl's body. At least my family loves me-tolerates me might be a better way of phrasing it-but even with my clumsiness I'm still able to get by with minimal craziness and just a whole lot of embarrassment. A whole lot. That is until the fateful September day I find myself chasing a chicken into a wedding cake. My sister's wedding cake. . . on her wedding day. . . in the middle of the reception. . . in front of two hundred other guests. I've got a new number one on my list of embarrassing moments, but this time I swear it wasn't my fault. I blame that chicken, my grandma, and the stupid bowtie she put on it, probably hoping to marry me off, so she can have the best man all to herself. Okay, fine, so maybe it was totally my fault, but. . . This is how it happened ©2018 ℓαℓαℓαℓαwriting
