Some people pass through our lives quietly.
Others stay long enough to change us forever.
Rudra dreams of becoming a boxer while struggling with school, family expectations, and a life slowly breaking apart. Shivani enters his world as a seatmate, a helper, and soon, someone he learns to depend on.
Through loss, ambition, and unspoken love, they grow closer. But when distance, silence, and misunderstanding take over, their story is forced to end before it is ready.
This is not a story about forever.
It is a story about love that lingers.
About people who leave, but never truly disappear.
Because some footprints remain.

WAR IN 8 COUNTS
Ira Iyer dances like perfection is survival. Zayan Mirza dances like rules were made to be broken. Thrown together as forced partners for the biggest national dance competition, they clash over everything-timing, control, choreography, and the way he looks at her when she's trying not to fall apart. She thinks he's reckless. He thinks she's hiding behind technique instead of feeling anything at all. Between late‑night rehearsals, accidental touches, and arguments that start sounding dangerously personal, their rivalry starts to feel a lot like obsession their rivalry turns into something neither of them can control. because hatred shouldn't feel this intense. not when his hand lingers on her waist too long. not when she notices him watching her even in crowded rooms. not when they keep choosing each other after every fight. they were supposed to compete against each other. instead, they became each other's biggest distraction. and maybe the real danger isn't losing the competition- it's falling for the one person they swore they'd never love. if you love: ✦ rivals to lovers ✦ forced dance partners ✦ tension-filled slow burn ✦ jealousy & obsession ✦ "i hate you" with way too much chemistry ✦ emotional chaos disguised as choreography then ira and zayan are waiting for you. and trust me- the second they start dancing together, you're completely done for.

Black Hearts
"You're my favorite person." I whispered softly as I held his hand. "Shut up. I'm a mess, and you know that." He hissed in defense. "Of course I do - and you know what? So am I." - 🖤 - Welcome to Blackhill Infirmary, a place where the supernatural thrives and heals.... And love unravels in the most provoking ways imaginable. 17-years-old Sylvia Winston is frustrated with life in Manchester. Born with the preternatural ability to read minds, she struggles with concealing her identity from the open world - and it certainly doesn't help that she has an overbearing mother, two irritating siblings, and a terrible reputation among her peers at school. So when there comes an opportunity to enroll in the Blackhill Nursing Internship Program, Sylvia applies at once without any hesitation, in hopes of turning life around for the better. And of using her powers for a greater purpose. And then there's Elliott Erwin. A charming yet troubled adolescent who can sense the unseen world, he is known to be the most dangerous patient in the Infirmary. And it just happens to be that his newly assigned nurse is no other than Sylvia - who absolutely despises his brooding, closed-off nature. Elliott will rather die than to spend the next eight weeks of his therapy with her ingenious, uptight personality. But in a place filled with mysteries and secrets, anything is possible. And Sylvia might be the cure that Elliott never knew he needed...

Where the Low Tide Rots
New Orleans, Louisiana. October 2005. The Jetson Youth Correctional Center has a massive overcrowding problem - or rather, it had one, before Hurricane Katrina tore across the coast. In the aftermath, the state quietly initiated the Arcane Delinquent Rehabilitation Initiative (ADRI), a high-stakes, off-the-books juvenile program where delinquents could earn their freedom through the brutal slaughter of supernatural threats. For every monster neutralized across the sweltering Louisiana bayou, the state chipped away at the kids' sentences. Take these three teenage convicts, for example: Thea Korshidi, a seventeen-year-old part-time demon slayer desperate to leave her suffocating home life. Remy Salazar, an eighteen-year-old half-demon hybrid who finds human bureaucracy more exhausting than the dead. Prue Beaumont, a kind seventeen-year-old witch whose quiet demeanor masks a dangerous, past. Under the strict supervision of ADRI, they attempt to navigate a lawless, flooded world. But after a routine assignment in the higher ground goes spectacularly wrong, their handler dumps the trio at Hemlock Ridge - a fancy, isolated campsite deep in the Basin. Their mandatory assignment? Turn a pack of foul-mouthed preteen delinquents into ruthless killers. What should be a straightforward way to keep a low profile quickly spirals into a gothic nightmare. The camp manager is a total asshole, the cabins reek of old mold, and the campers are unpredictable to the point of exhaustion. But when the trio stumbles across a shallow graveyard hidden deep in the woods, they are forced to navigate a labyrinth of rusted cabins and half-whispered threats to unearth the truth. Make no mistake - they aren't looking to play heroes or clean up messes. But if exposing Hemlock Ridge's dark secrets is the only way to earn a clean slate, then so be it.Complete![𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐌𝐞 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐈𝐭 𝐇𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐬 [ON HOLD]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/396317872-256-k552672.jpg)

"𝑰 𝒘𝒊𝒔𝒉 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒉𝒖𝒓𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒎𝒖𝒄𝒉, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒎𝒚 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒓𝒖𝒏𝒔 𝒕𝒐." 𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗮 𝗩𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗶 learned the hard way that how quickly everything can fall apart. Years ago, a scandal she never saw coming forced her to leave modeling and walk away from the life she once loved. She built a different life for herself as a fashion designer, keeping her distance from the past and from the people who once broke her trust. 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗼 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗼 never left that world. He lives in a world that thrives on his attention. As one of the industry's most sought-after models who has learned how to live with both admiration and criticism. The spotlight never really leaves him, but neither do the expectations that come with it. What he is not used to is the way one woman unsettles the careful balance he has always kept. When Luna is assigned as his stylist for an important event, neither of them expects much from the partnership. It is supposed to be professional, temporary and just work. But the past has a way of returning when it is least welcome. Old betrayals, hidden truths, and the reappearance of someone Luna never thought she would face something unbelievably unexpected. What starts as an unexpected connection slowly become harder to face than either of them imagined. Because sometimes the hardest part is not falling in love. It is loving someone when it hurts. ─── "You hate me, right? Then stop looking at me like you want to kiss me and kill me at the same time. If I was using you, Luna... I wouldn't be looking at you like this," he said, not giving her a chance to respond. "Hurt me all you want, but don't lie when your hands still shake when I touch you."
