Slow burn story about a girl who thinks she's too damaged to be loved and a guy who keeps patiently proving otherwise. A lot of healing, emotional baggage, family chaos, feelings and two stubborn people trying to figure love out.
Akshit Malhotra :-
Former golden retriever energy now rebranded as "emotionally unavailable".
Life turned him from warm sunshine to controlled winter.
Feelings? Locked. Buried. Misplaced.
Let's see if love can break in without a key.
Sanchita Kumar :-
Quiet chaos, looks like silence, runs on overthinking and savage inner commentary.
Life hit, health hit harder and somewhere in between she misplaced herself.
Trust? Oh, she'd rather fight an autoimmune flare than that.
Let's see who survives.
AKSHIT x SANCHITA
Two broken defence systems, one walking fire, one controlled storm.
Will they heal each other or quietly self-destruct together?

But does anyone care about the pain she hides behind her strong self? The responsibility as the eldest child? The expectations of her parents? And her own dreams being killed? Love was never part of her rigid plan. Maybe because in a generation that falls in love in a week and moves on in a day, she's still waiting for something real. However, the life she has so carefully constructed is about to be dismantled. The only question is: what-or who-will be the one to change her life? Shivarth, an ambitious 11th grade student, who has always been perhaps a little too mature for his years. Though he always dominates the football pitch, he's no less in academics. He's a certified ambivert. The type of guy girls swoon over. But does he care? Not even 1%. In his already disciplined life, love was a distraction he couldn't afford. He has always been the topper of his class. But not anymore. Little does he know that someone is about to turn his life upside down. But guess what they aren't academic rivals. Then what exactly is this connection called? --------------------------------- ✰∙.𝐓𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐬 • 𝐀𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐱 𝐀𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭 • 𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭, 𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 • 𝐑𝐨𝐦-𝐜𝐨𝐦 • 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 • 𝐓𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 • 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 ---------------------------------- Give this story a chance; I'm sure you won't regret it.

Unfinished Vows ❤️🩹
Some promises are meant to last forever, even when the people who made them are gone. Kavya never imagined that love and loss could exist so close to each other. Just when life begins to feel impossible to hold together, she finds herself tied to a future she never planned, with a man she barely understands. Krishav appears distant, controlled, and impossible to read, yet beneath the silence lie truths that slowly begin to change everything she believed about moving on. Haunted by memories and bound by a promise, Kavya must decide whether holding on is the same as living... or if sometimes the hardest part of love is allowing life to continue. Some stories are not about forgetting the past, but about finding the courage to face what comes after.
Swipe Right For Mr. Wrong
Aarohi has never been one for drama-but when her friends sign her up for a dating app as a joke, she's curious enough to give it a shot. Her rules are simple: no falling for guys who thrive on likes, followers, or drama. Enter Kabir, the one person who breaks all her rules. A charming social media influencer with a loyal fanbase, he's confident, frustratingly mysterious, and everything she's trying to avoid. But Kabir has a way of stirring up emotions Aarohi didn't know she had, and soon, "just one date" turns into something much deeper. As Aarohi navigates the messy world of dating in a digital age, she'll need to decide if risking her heart is worth it-even if it means swiping right for all the wrong reasons. Can Aarohi hold onto her beliefs, or will Mr. Wrong turn out to be more right than she ever expected?

She came with prayers on her lips. He came with storms in his eyes. Aadrika Rathore never asked for drama-just a fresh start, peace, and maybe a sky full of stars. What she got instead... was Krishiv Thakur. The boy everyone fears. The name they whisper. He fights first, talks later-if at all. Their first meeting? A punch. Second? A glare that could burn. And somewhere between fights, detentions, and late-night confessions-everything started to shift. He's not the villain they warned her about. And she? The only one who doesn't flinch when he raises his voice-because she sees through the rage. Fate wrote them in separate stars. But their hearts chose the same sky. This isn't just a school romance. It's about fire, friendship, betrayals, band wars, and two broken souls orbiting the same universe-trying not to fall, but doing it anyway. "You make my stars shine brighter." "You are my shining star, Aadrika-the one that lights up my life even in darkness"
