Till's story didn't come on suddenly. It eroded: a slow undoing that left him grasping for anything solid, anyone who could anchor him. Ivan was supposed to be that person, the calm in the storm. But as the line between dream and waking life began to blur for Till, even Ivan started to seem distant, out of reach. This is a story about the things that haunt us - and about love, and what love endures when the world threatens to unravel. When the one person you trust begins to slip away, what's left to hold on to?

Pretend for me // IvanTill
(JockEmo AU) Till is used to being invisible-the emo outcast who lurks in the back of class, headphones in, ignored by everyone except for whispers and ridicule. Ivan, on the other hand, is everything Till isn't: the golden boy, the flawless jock with a smile that wins the crowd every time. They're enemies by nature, always clashing, always pushing each other's buttons. So when a twist of fate (and some meddling from Mizi) forces them into a fake relationship, it feels like a cruel joke. Till wants nothing to do with Ivan's perfect mask. Ivan, however, has been obsessed with Till for years-and now he has the perfect excuse to keep him close. What begins as a plan to shut down rumors and survive the college spotlight slowly unravels into something neither of them expected. Between whispered fights in crowded hallways, stolen glances in study sessions, and the blurring line between acting and something painfully real, Till starts to wonder if Ivan's smile has always been fake... or if it's only real when it's directed at him. Enemies. Pretenders. Lovers in denial. This isn't just a game anymore- and neither of them is ready for the fallout.

Tackled By An Emo [IvanTill College AU]
Till doesn't try to disappear He just hopes people stop looking. Black hoodies in 90-degree weather. He's the kid everyone whispers about but no one really knows. Sensitive. Withdrawn. The kind of guy who walks alone in the rain without an umbrella and seems like he prefers it that way. Then there's Ivan. Star running back, loudmouth, loved by teachers and feared by freshmen. The guy who's always surrounded by people, but never really looks satisfied with any of them. He teases Till like it's a game-cold words. Everyone sees it. In a whirlwind of high school chaos, college pressures, and dangerous secrets, Till and Ivan's lives collide in ways neither could have anticipated.

Till discovers the courage to protect those he cares about, while Ivan learns the weight and value of vulnerability.

Black Sorrow [IvanTill, MiziSua, HyuLuka]
Ivan and Till have been best friends since childhood - inseparable, loyal, and seemingly unbreakable. But when they enter college together, the cracks in their bond begin to show. Ivan has harbored a deep, unspoken crush on Till for years, a quiet obsession that only intensifies as they grow older. Till, on the other hand, has these unfamiliar feeling. He doesn't even know what he feels anymore. While Ivan clings to their shared history and the illusion of something more, Till remains blissfully unaware or willfully ignorant, using Ivan's devotion as emotional support without realizing (or admitting) the damage it causes. Their friendship slowly turns toxic: full of emotional manipulation, guilt, dependency, and unbalanced love. Ivan can't let go, and Till can't give what Ivan needs. Eventually, the truth spills out - Ivan confesses. What follows is silence, distance, and a heartbreaking experience. Will they find love for one another?
