Daniel Lopez was quite the kid, despite where he stood. Despite his family stood.
Perched in the downsides of town, living among one of the nooks in downtown California, Daniel had always been shades of flames contained in a jar. And when puberty came in with its sharp claws, Danny already knew it deep down...that he was gay. Before his sixteenth birthday, he came out to his parents. Both his parents were catholic. And they might have oozed of love, unfortunately there wasn't much of an acceptance that prevailed. His mom, Lucía, was sterner. Didn't kick him out, yet a few grudging comments were slipped. So, Daniel looked elsewhere-high and low.
And in the search for elsewhere, he found out who he was.
That's why he fit in with his friends, the ones who didn't mind breaking a rule or two. Or ten. Smoking, sneaking out, partying, drinking, wandering into places they weren't supposed to be. It was a rebellion that felt necessary. He was half Salvadorian, half Mexican and entirely American; straddling three cultures, somehow always feeling slightly out of place each, despite being completely open. Himself.
Then, Atharv Das.
Dios mío, Daniel didn't know who he was with him around.
Atharv was also, quite the kid-despite where he stood. Despite where his parents stood.
Perched in the upper sides of town, living in one of the higher class suburbs, he had always been sharp like a wineglass finally starting to crack at its base. And when puberty came in with its sharp claws, Das already knew it deep down inside...that he wasn't gay. Well, that's what he first tried to convince himself. He was smart, humble, disciplined, polite, impeccably mannered. The list went on. And gay? Come on. That didn't fit anywhere, did it?
AD was told to tutor Daniel. Next thing you know, Danny's falling for those remarkable eyes of amber. He'd asked Atharv Das out when his grade shifted from an F to a C.
Next thing you know, Atharv...managed a yes.

The Silent Sister
Alessandra has never believed in safety. Life never gave her a reason to. Pain carved her childhood, silence became her armor, and trust? That was a luxury she could never afford. So when she runs -- bloody, broken, and barely breathing, she doesn't expect saving. She certainly doesn't expect to be taken in by a family dripping in wealth and power and. . . warmth? A mother who refuses to give up on her. A father who watches like he's waiting for her to let him in. And six brothers. Rough. Protective. Complicated. Brothers, who don't know what to do with a sister who won't speak. She doesn't know how to trust. How to believe that maybe not everyone wants to hurt her. Every instinct tells her to run. To shut down. But they don't let her go. Not when she flinches. Not when she hides. Not even when she breaks. Happiness is for other people, or that's what she believes. But when love comes wrapped in gentle patience and fierce protection, when hands reach for her without demand, when hearts break themselves wide open just to hold her... she starts to wonder. Can a girl stitched together with silence and fear ever belong in a family built on love? Can she stand tall when the ghosts of her past refuse to let go? And when danger claws its way back into her life, threatening everything she's come to know... will she find her voice, or will she shatter all over again? Trigger Warnings: Child abuse. Violence. Addiction. Panic attacks. SA. Self-harm. Death, and more.

✨️Mah-e-Noor: Between Love and Loneliness✨️ She was once the princess of the Malik family-spoilt, rebellious, and fearless. Hemayal Mah-e-Noor Malik grew up in a world where limits didn't exist, where tantrums were forgiven, and mistakes were hidden. But one argument, one careless decision, and everything she knew shattered. At fifteen, she was sent away to boarding school, abandoned by the family she loved, misunderstood by the people who mattered most. Now, more than four years later, Hemayal is called back home. Her grandmother misses her. Her siblings fear she hasn't changed. The cousins whisper, and the house that once adored her waits for the chaos she once brought. But Hemayal is not the same girl who left. The years away have taught her lessons she never wanted to learn. The girl who once demanded the world has almost lost herself-and now she must face the family she left behind. Will they see the change in her, or will the past always define her? A story of mistakes, loss, and the painful journey of growing up... of becoming someone you never thought you could. (Originally published on 20th October 2025 Republished on 23rd April 2026)

Ms. Sinclair's Secret
| teacher x student | wxw | slow burn | When 19-year-old Lena James enters English Literature class, she expects nothing special. Instead, she meets Ms. Sinclair her cold, sharp-tongued British literature teacher. Elegant, cutting, and unbearably superior. From the very first lesson, the 34-year-old woman seems to take pleasure in dismantling Lena's every opinion with cruel precision. Lena hates her. She hates the condescending red marks on her essays, the raised eyebrow that makes her feel small, and the way Ms. Sinclair lingers in her thoughts long after class ends. But hate this intense has a way of twisting into something far more dangerous. With a strict 15-year age gap and an unbreakable teacher-student boundary, their slow-burning tension threatens to break every rule both in literature and in real life. Some lessons aren't taught kindly. And some hatreds taste too much like desire. "Ms. Sinclair's Secret"
