After her parents get sent to jail for missapropiation of funds Faith spends her last summer before college hiding in the countryside splitting her time between playing fronton tennis and indulging in the self destructive habit of googling herself.
On her last visit before she has to leave for college her father gives her a cryptic "Trust the lions" and prohibits her from ever visiting him again. Her mother refuses to elaborate. She leaves for college the butt of half the nation's jokes, friendless and basically parentless. That trully should be enough.
Things get a whole different difficult when her father is murdered in jail, her mother gets relocated to a high security prison with no visits allowed, one of her teachers seems intent in sexually harrasing her, the voley team turns out to be everything she ever waned in a friendship and also a bit like she joined a girl gang, the cute and smug bastard she met in the bus is apparently the son of one of the biggest cocaine dealers in the world, the whole university seems to have been founded by her family and The Lions are apparently mob kids.
Thanks mom and dad, freshman year of college totally wasn't hard enough by itself.

Nothing But You | Englot | GP
Engfa Waraha never believed in fate - until it threw her straight into the path of Charlotte Austin, the one person she couldn't stand. To Engfa, Charlotte was nothing but a spoiled, entitled brat - the type of girl who had always looked down on her, believing the world owed her everything. And to Charlotte, Engfa was the player who never took anything seriously, always playing the system. But fate, relentless and unforgiving, had other plans. One moment - one touch - and everything changed. What began as a fierce rivalry between two girls who couldn't have been more different slowly evolved into something more complicated, more dangerous. A storm of hate, desire, and undeniable connection - woven together by a force neither could comprehend. Then, without warning, Charlotte vanished. No explanations, no goodbyes. Engfa never understood why Charlotte left - and maybe that was the worst part. It wasn't just the absence; it was that she disappeared when they'd finally begun to understand each other. Years passed. The questions never left. The rage dulled. The emptiness remained. Just as Engfa thought she'd finally moved on, fate dragged her back to Charlotte - in a sleek office, in one unforgettable moment. What if fate had never let go, forcing them to confront what they could never forget? What if facing the truth could unite them in ways they couldn't predict? The space between past and present is filled with unanswered questions: Charlotte's disappearance, and the unbreakable bond that continues to shape their lives. ***** ⚠️‼️ This story contains: - Intersex themes (G!P) - Mature/explicit content - Angst If this isn't your cup of tea, feel free to skip it.

Married to her high school sweetheart, Tom, and devoted to her spirited five-year-old daughter, Sophie, Charlotte's life is a carefully curated picture of perfection. But beneath the surface, she's drowning in the weight of expectations and the quiet ache of unfulfilled dreams. When Sophie starts kindergarten, Charlotte meets Engfa Waraha, the new teacher whose effortless charm and warmth immediately draw Sophie-and Charlotte-in. Engfa, still healing from a painful breakup, is starting over in a small town, determined to rebuild her life and find her place in the world. As Charlotte and Engfa's paths cross again and again, a tentative friendship begins to form. Through quiet conversations, stolen glances, and moments of unexpected vulnerability, they find solace in each other's company. But as their connection deepens, Charlotte begins to question everything she thought she knew about herself, her marriage, and the life she's built. In a town where everyone knows everyone, Charlotte and Engfa find themselves drawn together in ways they never expected. As their friendship deepens, they begin to question the paths they've been walking and the futures they've been too afraid to imagine. **"The Edge of Something New"** is a story about the quiet courage it takes to embrace change, the power of connection, and the possibility of love in the most unexpected places.
A Heart We Didn't Choose
Two women from different worlds. One bound by fire. The other, by ice. Engfa Waraha was ruthless, cold, and unafraid to break hearts. At thirty, she had everything-money, power, women at her feet. A woman who loved nothing more than the chase, and who never stayed in one place for too long. Never letting anyone get too close. Not even her own family. Her love life was a string of broken, short-lived romances. One month-no longer. Charlotte Austin was a quiet, innocent twenty-year-old-fresh from college and ready to begin her life. She had a boyfriend she loved and dreams she was determined to make her own. But those dreams weren't hers to control. Not anymore. Not when her father, driven by business, decided to trade her away like a pawn for a massive merger. They didn't get a choice. Their lives were exchanged in the name of power. Engfa wanted to burn the contract. Charlotte wanted to run. But destiny had other plans. And soon, the two would collide. When fire meets ice... who will break first?
Crimson & Gold Pact
One of the most compelling aspects of "Crimson & Gold Pact" is definitely the journey of Engfa and Charlotte themselves. They begin as archetypal rivals, almost diametrically opposed in their personalities and approaches to life and business. Engfa is all logic, control, and efficiency, while Charlotte is intuition, charm, and a touch of calculated chaos. What's fascinating is how the forced proximity and the escalating external threats really act as catalysts for their growth, both individually and as a couple. We see Engfa, the "Ice Queen," gradually reveal moments of vulnerability and even a fierce, protective loyalty that goes beyond pure strategy. Similarly, Charlotte, who initially seems to embody rebellion against her family's expectations, steps up to embrace her duty and display an unexpected resilience and strategic mind when the stakes are highest. The "arranged marriage" premise, which starts as a source of mutual disdain, cleverly evolves into the very crucible in which their undeniable chemistry and eventual love are forged. It's the ultimate "enemies-to-lovers" trope, but with the added layer of high-stakes corporate warfare and complex family legacies. The "Crimson & Gold Pact" truly becomes a vow of personal commitment, not just a business contract. What are your thoughts on their individual journeys, especially how they came to depend on and eventually love each other despite their initial resistance?Complete
