They've always been just friends-or at least, that's what they tell themselves, long enough for the label to feel safe, unquestioned, permanent.

Pond keeps his life controlled, his emotions buried beneath sarcasm and distance. He has never dated anyone, not because he couldn't, but because he never wanted to. Somewhere along the way, his world narrowed quietly to one person, and loving his best friend felt like a risk he couldn't afford to take.

Phuwin moves through the world effortlessly-warm, magnetic, surrounded by people yet never quite letting anyone close enough to stay. He has loved once, briefly and the way people expected him to, never questioning himself until the closeness he shares with Pond begins to feel heavier than friendship ever should.

A slow-burn university romance about unspoken feelings, questioning identities, and the quiet realization that some loves exist long before they're brave enough to be named.All Rights Reserved

Pastels on the Court by IntoAzure

Pond Naravit Lertratkosum never cared for dating, his perfect high school life was just basketball and his two best friends. Love letters only made him despise romance more... until one day, the words felt different. Phuwin Tangsakyuen, an art lover with a quiet heart, chooses to confess through anonymous letters and sketches instead of words. He doesn't know that his simple, heartfelt notes might just change Pond's idea of love...... and his own life.

Fake it until we Mate by IntoAzure

Pond Naravit Lertratkosum, a broke alpha with a family to support. Phuwin Tangsakyuen, an equally broke omega fighting just to survive. Both desperate. Both hungry for change. When a high stakes competition with a massive cash prize opens up, it feels like the chance of a lifetime except it's only for mated pairs. With no choice left, Pond and Phuwin strike a deal: fake being mates, win the money, and walk away. Simple. But between stolen glances, rehearsed touches, and the thin line between survival and desire... pretending starts to feel dangerously real.

Tied Together. {PONDPHUWIN} by Thatonesimp53

Pond and Phuwin have been rivals since the first day of school-grades, attention, even oxygen. They hate each other so much, it's practically a full-time job. But when Pond moves into Phuwin's neighborhood and their moms-lifelong besties-discover the boys are classmates, everything spirals. Suddenly, they're forced to play nice. Fake friendship. Shared dinners. Coordinated tutoring sessions. And worst of all? Their moms think they're adorable together. Pond is the school's bad boy-motorbike, charm, and a trail of broken hearts. Phuwin is the academic menace-sharp-tongued, caffeine-fueled, and secretly unbothered by Pond's theatrics. They clash like fire and sarcasm. But when someone else tries to hurt Phuwin, Pond's fury is instant. And when Phuwin sees Pond vulnerable-really vulnerable-something shifts. Enemies to lovers? More like enemies to "I hate you so much I'd die for you."

"Accidentally Yours" by itsdeffaashika

They say love is patient. Love is kind. But whatever Pond and Phuwin have? It's *neither.* Ever since they were kids, Pond and Phuwin have been each other's biggest headache. They bicker like it's a sport, glare like it's a habit, and compete in *everything.* So naturally... their families decide to force them into marriage. For tradition. For family business. For chaos. 😌 Now stuck in an engagement they never asked for, sharing space, showing up in public like a *"happy couple,"* and trying *very* hard not to kill each other, they both come to one horrifying realization: **This hate might not be hate at all.** And falling for your enemy? That was never part of the deal.

Flowers from Tiny | PondPhuwin AU by Caramelform3

When Phuwin Tangsakyuen moves into a quiet neighborhood near his new office, the last thing he expects is to receive a flower on his doorstep every morning. Even stranger-it's delivered by a golden retriever named Tiny. He quickly learns Tiny belongs to his next-door neighbor, Pond Naravit: Thailand's most beloved actor and, coincidentally, his former campus basketball captain. Phuwin barely knew Pond back in university, but now, with a fluffy delivery boy and a suspicious number of "accidental" encounters, Pond keeps popping up in his life-and maybe even in his heart. What Phuwin doesn't know is that Pond has been in love with him since college, and he's using his dog to finally make a move.

When love knocks twice by IntoAzure

A story of Phuwin who gets betrayed by his first love and decides to never let anyone come into his life again and Pond who haven't found his loved one yet . Will Pond be able to break the walls around Phuwin's heart and make him believe in love again? What will happen when love knocks on the door of a broken heart again?

The Day I Stopped Smiling at You by arunawate

Pond is the campus heartthrob-cocky, charming, and a little too good at turning people into punchlines. And Phuwin? Just the quiet nerd he teases between classes. Sweet, invisible Phuwin who always smiles like it doesn't hurt. Who laughs like his heart isn't quietly breaking. But behind those glasses and gentle eyes is a boy who feels everything. Who writes poems he'll never share. Who's been in love with his bully since first year but is too afraid to confess... too afraid of being a joke. Until one day, he's not. The jokes stop. The smiles disappear. Phuwin turns cold. And suddenly, Pond can't breathe. Because now it's not so funny. Not when Phuwin won't look at him. Not when the silence is louder than anything he's ever teased. Not when the boy who used to care-won't anymore. Pond thought he was in control. But he never saw the moment he broke something beautiful. And now, he might've lost the one person who ever looked at him like he was more than just a mask. MADE WITH HELP OF AI

"Bound by love, not paper" [PondPhuwin] by nutellaholic

⚠️ Trigger Warning This story contains things that may be triggering for some, including: Self-harm Suicidal ideations Grief Mentions of trauma and self harm scars Mental health struggles toxic family dynamics this story also includes m-preg 🤭 When Phuwin agrees to a marriage of convenience Pond Naravit, he knows exactly what he's trading: two years of his life, a child to secure the lineage, and the fragile promise that his parents would finally stop resenting him. What he doesn't expect is a husband who despises him, a girlfriend who refuses to leave the picture, and the suffocating weight of secrets that can't stay buried forever. To Pond, Phuwin is just a name on a contract necessary, replaceable, irrelevant. At least until the cracks begin to show. Until scars are revealed. Until irritation turns to guilt... And guilt becomes something far more dangerous.

Let the game of love, obsession, and revenge begin.

THE BOY YOU BROKE [PONDPHUWIN] by AhuFantasies

"You don't get to touch me like that. Not after what you did to me in the past." "Then why are you shaking?" "Because I haven't decided whether to slap you... or ride your face." Pond Naravit was the golden boy of high school - popular, charming, athletic... and heartless. He made sure everyone laughed at Phuwin, never once thinking about the damage he was causing. Back then, Phuwin was his easiest target. But people change. Phuwin Tangsakyuen returns a year later. No longer the quiet boy with oversized glasses and tear-filled eyes. He's confident now. Sharp. Cold. And he hasn't forgotten a thing. Now fate throws them back together at university, where Phuwin becomes the one holding power. The tables have turned, and revenge has never looked this calm, collected... and dangerously sexy. Pond doesn't even recognize him at first. But when he does? It's already too late. Then comes a challenge - a reckless bet, daring Pond to make Phuwin fall for him again. A game that blurs lines between rivalry and something far more dangerous. What starts as a twisted rivalry slowly becomes something more. Obsession. Guilt. Lust. And a haunting question Pond can't escape: "Can you love someone you once broke?" --- Bully romance, angst, and slow-burn redemption. High tension. Emotional scars. Enemies with benefits. Heavy smut will be here. 🔞🫶🏻 With side ships: JoongDunk & GeminiFourth bringing chaos, love, and loyalty. (Or maybe more angst) Some scars fade. Some burn forever. And some... turn into love.
