Slowburn Stories

She was sold to pay a debt. He was born to rule an empire built on blood. Sofia Marina has spent years surviving a life she never chose. By day, she works in a quiet Manhattan bakery, pretending she is normal. By night, she serves drinks in a luxury gentlemen's club owned by the man who bought her freedom before she was old enough to understand what it meant. She belongs to a contract. To a debt. To silence. Until the night Alessandro Valenti walks in. Twenty-seven. Italian. Untouchable. The most powerful Don in Italy doesn't believe in fate. He believes in control. But when his eyes meet hers under violet lights and expensive lies, something shifts. Not desire. Not lust. Recognition. And Alessandro Valenti does not ignore what he wants. What begins as curiosity turns into obsession. What begins as business turns into war. Because Sofia has a past that refuses to stay buried. A violent ex. A dangerous debt. And men who believe they own her. But they made one mistake. They let Valenti see her. This is not a fairytale. This is a dark empire colliding with a broken girl who refuses to stay broken. And when the Don decides something is his... He never lets it go.

She is the Communicator of the New Area. The Communicators do the one job other humans are too afraid to do, communicating and preventing violence between wolves and humans. "My name is Alara. I'm the new Communicator. This is my first day. I-" "I know what Communicators are all about," he interrupts. "I've met many over the years. You speak of understanding and cooperation while your guns are loading behind your backs." "That's not-" "Save your diplomatic bullshit for someone who hasn't heard it before." His voice remains calm, which somehow makes it more terrifying. "I want the human who killed one of our own." "We have laws-" "Your laws." The contempt is undisguised now. "Your laws that somehow always find humans innocent of crimes against wolves. Your laws that punish a wolf's defense of territory as aggression. Your laws that treat us as animals when it suits you and as criminals when it doesn't." This is the first book in the series, so please don't expect anything perfect just yet. It's a first draft and a work in progress :)

And an immediate, mutual decision- i hate that fucker. ᴍᴀᴅᴇʟʏɴ ʟᴀᴜʀᴇɴᴛ-French mafia princess, sharp-tongued, reckless, and impossible to control, has never met a man she couldn't outtalk, outplay, or walk away from.

They hated each other at first sight. And second. And third.... Every encounter worse than the last. Every word sharper. Every glance a challenge. So walking away should've been easy. It would have been... If their families hadn't already decided otherwise. Because in their world, love doesn't matter. Power does. And now, bound by a mafia alliance marriage, two enemies are forced into a union neither of them wants.

And more than ready to tear their alliance and their marriage apart. The question isn't whether they'll fall for each other. It's whether they'll survive long enough to figure it out. ʙᴏᴜɴᴅ ʙʏ ᴀʟʟɪᴀɴᴄᴇ, ᴅʀɪᴠᴇɴ ʙʏ ʜᴀᴛᴇ.

When costume designer Takahara Mayumi-quirky, brilliant, and hiding a powerful Quirk-moves in with three pro heroes, she expects awkward living arrangements and maybe a little chaos. She doesn't expect friendship, found family, and a slow-burning tension with the last person she'd ever want to fall for: Bakugo Katsuki. Her life has always been about hiding-taught to suppress her Quirk after her pro-hero parents were killed and her older brother swore to keep her safe. But after a bad breakup sends her fleeing into a shared loft with Bakugo, Kirishima, and Kaminari, Mayumi's world begins to shift. As the guys grow to be more than just roommates, Mayumi finds herself pulled back into the hero world she thought she left behind. Between chaotic missions, rooftop confessions, drunken beach nights, slow-dancing at hero galas, and Bakugo being way too protective for just a roommate, the line between friendship and something much deeper begins to blur. But Mayumi's power is attracting attention-and not the good kind. As secrets unravel and enemies circle closer, her new family will have to fight harder than ever to protect the one person who never thought she was worth saving. A story of healing, slow-burn romance, dangerous secrets, and the loudest love from the quietest girl.

Avatar various x reader; Before Pandora had a name, before the forest learned to breathe through veins of light, you existed. Not as flesh. Not as bone. Not as Na'vi, nor Sky Person. You were between. A presence held within the endless hum of the Tree of Souls-where memories did not sleep, but listened. Where countless essences drifted like embers, waiting, watching, knowing. They called you souls, though none of you were ever born. Some shimmered with curiosity. Some trembled with fear. All of you understood Pandora. You knew the balance Eywa protected. You knew the violence that threatened it. You knew the cost of choosing a body, a will, a fate. And so, when Eywa's voice moved through the great network-vast, patient, eternal- 'Who will walk for me?' ❗️Reader can be oc-ish ❗️Heavily follows Avatar movie series storyline ❗️Begins from Avatar: The Way of Water

Tara Sinha grew up learning how to survive alone, never asking for more than life gave her. She doesn't believe in forever, doesn't trust promises, and doesn't expect anyone to stay. Yet, despite her guarded heart, she has an instinctive softness-she tends to people, cares for them, and helps even strangers, often without realizing she's giving away pieces of herself. Vedansh Singh Rathore owns the world-but has lost the people who mattered the most. Power, fear, and violence surround him, yet his heart remains untouched, sealed behind ruthless walls built from loss, responsibility, and blood-soaked loyalty. When fate intertwines the path of a girl who trusts no one yet cares for everyone, and a man who fears nothing but feels too much in silence, their worlds collide-not softly, but dangerously. This is not a love story that blooms gently. It is one that breaks, heals, tests, and transforms. Because when an orphan meets a mafia king- love is not the first thing they find.

Saira, 19 - innocent, soft, kind, and stubborn. A schoolgirl who unknowingly walked straight into his dark world - and captured his heart from the very first moment.

Alexander didn't cheat. He just gave someone else his attention, his laughter, and the smiles that used to belong to his wife. And she watched him drift - not to another woman's bed, but to her presence. Her laugh. The way she made him feel seen in a room full of people. Everything he found in someone else - Zara had been giving him all along. Eight years of marriage. One little boy who loved them both. And Zara standing in the middle of it all - wondering when she became the woman he stopped choosing. She warned him. Three times. The first - he dismissed her. The second - he called her jealous. The third - he called her insecure. So she stopped warning him altogether. And stopped waiting. Love wasn't enough... and now it might be too late.

She saved a stranger. He was never meant to be saved. Dr. Samaira Mehta only wanted a quiet life-one far away from chaos and crime. But fate had other plans when a bleeding man collapsed infront of her on a stormy night. She saved him... not knowing he was Avayan Singh, the most feared name in the city's underworld. He ruled with silence and steel-until she became his only weakness. She treated wounds; he carried scars deeper than she could ever imagine. But when a betrayal sets fire to everything, Samaira finds herself trapped in a war she never wanted to fight-between loyalty and love, truth and deception, life and death. And in the heart of that storm... stands Avayan. The devil everyone feared. The man she should've never saved. Credits to chai for this idea. Avayan Singh (Indian Mafia Boss) by Ishika

When Emily applies for a position as a caregiver for Daniel, a boy with a permanent spinal cord injury, she never thought she'd also be dealing with his brash fighter of a brother, Lucas. Emily soon becomes involved in the world of fighting that seems to constantly surround Lucas as he attempts to find retribution for his brother. Can Emily help heal the relationship between the two brothers while also caring for the seemingly brute professional fighter? Will Lucas lower his barriers enough for Emily to do so?

Raina Wilson has three unbreakable rules: No more broken boys. No more fixing anyone. And definitely no falling for the sarcastic, dark hoodie-wearing best friend of her toxic ex. Mateo Diaz knows the rules better than anyone-he wrote his own version years ago: Never fall for your best friend's ex. Never believe you're worthy of someone like her. Never let yourself hope. They've spent years circling each other-bickering in hallways, stealing glances during group projects, pretending the tension is just old neighbour rivalry. She tells herself he's off-limits. He tells himself he's not good enough. But when a college project forces them together, every sarcastic jab, every accidental touch, every late-night coffee run starts chipping away at the walls they've both built so carefully. The closer they get, the more it hurts to stay away. Because some rules were made to be broken... and some hearts were made to shatter before they can finally heal. - COMPLETE -

Sovarielle was born into a legacy of music and magic-one of the legendary sound dragons of Whispervale. But everything changed the day an attack stole her sense of smell, severing her from the bond that connects dragonkind. Exiled by instinct and grieving the loss of her family and horde, she vanished into the human world, learning to navigate life through sound instead of scent. In dragon society, scent is everything. It guides memory, emotion, and-most importantly-connection. It is how dragons recognize their mates. Without it, Sovarielle is considered broken, untethered... alone. Years later, a single misstep leads her back into dragon territory-and into a storm of long-forgotten alliances, mythical creatures, and rising tensions. From sirens guarding sacred seas to secretive centaurs with ancient wisdom, Sovarielle's path is shaped by those who see her not as damaged, but different. And as feelings deepen between her and a dragon who seems to know more than he says, she begins to wonder: If dragons find their mates by scent... will she ever truly know if she's found hers? A map of the country is included in the prologue, showing dragon territories, human cities, and key locations mentioned throughout the story. For readers who enjoy diving deeper, I've also created The Scentmarked Archive, which includes an interactive map and expanded lore exploring ancient dragon territories, mysterious islands, siren legends, shifter homelands, and more. You can find the link to the archive and map in my bio. Thank you so much for choosing to step into this world with me.
