"Bridget Jones with a lot more wine! This story is hilarious, feel-good and relatable in all the best ways!" - Grace K @ HQ. She's just quit her high-flying job, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Can Alice find a sense of purpose in the wreckage? ***** Alice's life isn't going to plan. She's tied to her phone, pointlessly managing PR for a sinking corporate megalith. She's become a bit player in her kids' lives, and her marriage is coasting on fumes. Forcing herself into action with a rash resignation, Alice sets out to make a positive impact on the world around her. But how? Meditation leads to napping, and her attempts to get closer to her teenage daughter result in the discovery of a secret that leaves her at a loss. As the months tick by and a sense of purpose continues to elude her, Alice finds herself forming bonds with the most unlikely characters: the young woman who panhandles outside her old office; the homeless boy who sits cross-legged outside the liquor store with his ginger cat; her own dog walker who, it turns out, knows a thing or two about developing a good crema. Testing the limits of marriage, motherhood and the Toronto subway system -- can Alice find her way into a purpose-driven life? Or will it all be one giant hangover?

in which josh's ex and first love moves into the apartment opposite hers NOT SUITABLE FOR WORK FANFIC josh x femoc!

Ailith never planned to disappear-until running became her only escape. With a heart bruised by promises that turned into wounds, she leaves behind the people she once loved more than herself, hoping the distance will finally silence the pain she's been carrying for far too long. All she wants is a life where she isn't drowning.. a place where she doesn't have to pretend she's strong when she's breaking. Then there's Finn-steady, untouchable, and unshakably unyielding. A man who sees the world as a series of battles meant to be faced, not feared. He's the kind of person who protects others even when he can't protect himself, the type who shields fragile souls from storms they can no longer survive. So what happens when a shattered, unguarded soul collides with a soul built from walls thicker than steel? When a runaway girl crosses paths with the man who refuses to let her fall again? Two broken worlds. One dangerous connection. And a story that begins the moment their pain recognizes each other.

After accidentally sending a drunken confession to his intimidating supervisor, Ethan Carter spends weeks avoiding Noah Bennett around the office-until Noah quietly admits he saved the voicemail, replayed it every night, and wants to know if Ethan still feels the same. *** Ethan Carter thought it was just another mistake-until a drunken voicemail he sent to his intimidating supervisor changed everything. Weeks later, he's still avoiding Noah Bennett at work, heart racing every time their eyes almost meet across the office floor. But Noah doesn't act distant. Instead, he quietly admits he saved the message, listened to it more times than he can count, and wants to know if Ethan still meant every word. Now they're assigned to the same high-pressure project, forcing late nights, shared deadlines, and too many moments alone in half-lit conference rooms. Ethan tries to bury what he feels under professionalism, but Noah keeps slipping through the cracks-gentle looks, small gestures, words spoken only when no one else is around. As rumors start spreading through the office, both of them realize the real risk isn't the confession itself-it's what happens if they stop pretending it never mattered.

When journalist Clara Bennett lands her first job in a busy newsroom, she expects ordinary stories and tight deadlines. Instead, she's given a single assignment: find a library that officially doesn't exist. No records. No location. Only rumors. People claim they've seen it. Some say they've been inside. None of their stories match. As Clara begins to investigate, the details start to shift. Sources go silent. Clues disappear. And the deeper she digs, the more the story begins to feel... wrong. Because this isn't just a place that's hidden. It's a place that shouldn't be found. And once it finds you- you might not find your way back.

Samskriti doesn't believe in love, but she does believe in good outfits, loud weddings, and stealing the spotlight on the dance floor.

When an arranged marriage proposal ties their families together, what was supposed to be simple becomes anything but, especially when love, distrust, past wounds show up Because while Sam and Pavish are busy pretending this is just practical... Drishya and Vikash are discovering that love has its own timing - and its own drama. Two strangers crossing lines. Between wedding preparations, late-night arguments, laughter that lingers too long, and tension that feels a little too personal, four lives begin to intertwine in ways none of them planned. After all, sometimes life is arranged. A Shaadi where Love was unwelcomed. And Drama that definitely shows up with the calm colliding with chaos and tensions that charge the air around. But Fate? It writes its own script.

What mattered most couldn't save you. What once made you strong became the thing that broke you. What looked like escape was only ever a mirage. This is a story about life's cruelest ironies - how the harshest conditions force us to adapt, and how all that weight we learn to carry might be exactly what crushes us in the end
