Sunshinexgrumpy Stories

Everyone at Blackwood University knows 𝐊𝐨𝐚 𝐁𝐥𝐞𝐮 𝐂𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐨 - the talented, quiet hockey star who keeps everyone at a distance. What no one notices is the anxiety he's been hiding for years beneath the pressure of the sport. No one except Meilani Grae. 𝐌𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐢 𝐒𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐡 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐞 is bubbly, sweet, and impossible to ignore, but behind her bright smiles is a painful past she refuses to talk about. When the two literally crash into each other outside their literature class, an unexpected friendship begins to grow. She sees through the walls he built around himself. He begins noticing the sadness hidden behind her sunshine. Between hockey games, late-night study sessions, and quiet moments together, two completely opposite people find comfort in each other - and maybe something more. A college romance about hidden struggles, healing, and finding the one person who truly understands you.

**repost of the authors original story!!! Dalaric "Ricky" Mikael was known for two things; being the country's best assassin, and being a silent brute. His demons enveloped him in darkness, and he saw no light at the end of any tunnel. Until a girl- who's weird and wears nothing but a pair of black jeans and t-shirts that are too big for her, called him pretty.

I have three rules for the start of every school year: First, stay excellent. New year, same me, not changing for anyone. Secondly, keep cool, calm and collected. We can't have dumb emotions raging all over the place, can we now? Last and most certainly not least, no rubbing shoulders with mediocrity. I can't have average people in my space. And I've always kept these rules for the past 5 years. But someone, one annoyingly infuriating person has somehow managed to break all of them... ...and break me in the process. °°° What happens when a painfully soft, optimistic theatre kid crashes into the life of a cold, guarded girl and refuses to leave her alone?

From old enemies and problems to new friends and challenges, sprinkled with the growing feelings between them, they have to survive one year together...without spontaneously combusting in each other's faces.

In the kingdom of Eldoria, Prince Cassian Cain Salvatore is admired by his people and feared by the nobles. Quiet, intelligent, and burdened by the expectations of the crown, he spends his days trapped within palace walls, preparing for a future he never chose. Though kind-hearted beneath his cold exterior, Cassian struggles to express his emotions and keeps everyone at arm's length. Everything changes when a new court jester arrives. Unlike the polished nobles who constantly seek the prince's favor, the jester is chaotic, bold, and completely unimpressed by royal status. What begins as an irritating series of encounters soon becomes something neither of them expected. The jester's laughter chips away at the walls Cassian has spent years building, while the prince offers a rare sense of safety beneath his stern demeanor. As political tensions rise and the kingdom edges closer to unrest, Cassian finds himself caught between duty and desire. Falling for a jester-a commoner whose place at court is meant to be entertainment, not romance-could threaten everything he has ever known. But for the first time in his life, Cassian must decide whether he will live as the perfect prince... or follow his heart. A slow-burn fantasy romance filled with witty banter, hidden feelings, royal intrigue, and the classic "sunshine × grumpy" dynamic, where a lonely prince learns how to laugh and a jester discovers that even a guarded heart can be loved.

In one swift, fluid motion, his broad hand clamped gently but firmly around my waist while his other arm swept beneath my knees. ​My breath hitched as he lifted me off my feet like I weighed nothing at all. ​Instinctively, my hand flew up to grip his broad shoulder to keep my balance. Under the soft fabric of his kurta, his shoulder felt like solid iron. ​"Kya kar rahe ho? Chhodo mujhe! I gasped, my voice a mix of sharp defiance and sudden fluster. ​He didn't flinch. His jaw remained set, his dark eyes locked onto mine with calm authority. ​"Shaant baith," he grunted softly, his low tone leaving zero room for argument. "Shor mat macha" ​He carried me toward the Range Rover, his steps steady and unhurried. Stooping down with surprising discipline, he lowered me just enough so that my right foot dipped into the warm, red kumkum bowl. ​Looking down at the crown of his head as he held me, the sharp edge of my defiance softened just a fraction. Beneath his legendary short fuse and dominating exterior lay a quiet, solitary boy who had been forced to grow up far too fast. ​Samrat carefully lifted my foot out of the water. With steady hands, he pressed my red-stained sole firmly against the clean, dark running board of the Range Rover, leaving behind a sharp, perfect crimson footprint against the black metal. ​He didn't immediately let go. His calloused hand stayed wrapped around my ankle, holding my foot steady with absolute care so the print wouldn't smudge. Slowly, he tilted his head up to look at me. ​"Ghar ki Laxmi ho tum," he said. His heavy Haryanvi accent gave a raw, unpolished weight to the word Laxmi. "Manne gaadi ki alag te pooja koni chahiye. Pehla kadam tera lagega, tabhi eeb ye gaadi aage badhegi. (You are the Laxmi of this house. I don't need a separate worship for the car. Your first step needs to touch it; only then will this car move forward.)" The tail of Rebel and Ruthless against the world! ༄˖°.🍂.

Julia Park is everything Jake isn't. Loud where he's calm. Expressive where he's reserved. And, in his words-*so American.* What starts as teasing turns into something neither of them planned. Between shared office spaces, late-night work, and way too much banter, lines blur faster than they should. Because the more Jake tries to figure her out, the harder it becomes to stay unaffected. And Julia? She's starting to realize that maybe- just maybe-he's the only one who sees her clearly. In a world of deadlines and decisions, falling for each other was never part of the plan. But neither was this.
