crush

In a world where angels and demons walk separate paths, Ethan—a demon burdened by darkness—and Riley—an embodiment of fragile light—find themselves drawn to one another by a force neither can explain. Their connection defies every law written by fate: an impossible bond between shadow and radiance. As they embark on an unexpected journey through pain, hope, and sacrifice, the question lingers—will the demon lose his darkness to embrace the light, or will the light be swallowed by the shadow? Together, they must discover if love can bridge the unbridgeable, and if two souls destined to be apart can find a path forward… or be consumed by the very forces that define them.

Straight-laced hall monitor Lila gets stuck in detention with Ryan Cole, the school’s untouchable bad boy. Hours of forced silence turn electric when Ryan discovers Lila’s secret stash of explicit stories—ones she wrote herself. Amused and intrigued, Ryan makes her a proposition: he’ll act them out with her, scene by scene, until they both get exactly what they crave. But what starts as a game soon feels a lot like something neither of them expected.

Jane was given an unexpected offer—an opportunity to live in the grand Ts mansion. But this wasn’t just a simple act of kindness; there was a condition attached. In exchange for her stay, she was asked to keep an eye on a certain professor’s son. The boy in question had a reputation that preceded him—bratty, spoiled, and unbearably rude. The mansion itself was full of life, occupied by people who had known each other for years, bonded by family ties and long histories. Jane, however, was the odd one out. She was the only one without blood relation, the outsider looking in, navigating her new reality in a household where everyone else already had a place. Amidst the chaos, she found herself drawn to Ivan. His presence, though sometimes quiet and distant, stirred feelings in her that she couldn’t explain. Without even realizing it, Jane began to fall in love with him—slowly, silently, and deeply. What she didn’t know was that Ivan, from the very first moment his eyes met hers, had already fallen for her. For him, it was love at first sight, undeniable and overwhelming. But where love was blooming on one side, danger was lurking on the other. Ryan, another figure in the mansion, began to change—or at least that was how it seemed. The rude sharpness in him softened, his words and actions started to shift, and Jane allowed herself to believe in this transformation. She thought he was genuinely trying, that maybe he was different from who he used to be. But behind his carefully built mask, Ryan’s intentions were far darker. His “change” wasn’t born from sincerity but from a calculated plan to take revenge on Jane for daring to interfere in his life. Now, Jane stands at a crossroads. Would she choose Ivan, the boy she silently, desperately loves? Or would she fall into Ryan’s carefully woven trap, drawn in by the illusion of his change, only to be destroyed by the very person she thought was different?

It was just one night. After catching his boyfriend cheating, Ryan goes to the bar to drink and spots a handsome stranger. “Would you like to sleep with me?” The man had agreed, and they spent the night together, tangled in the sheets. The next morning, he had run away, embarrassed, wanting to put the entire thing behind him. But the man wasn’t a random stranger. He was the son of Ryan’s Professor, Carl. And Carl wanted more than one night.

The world is diverse and flourishing. Humanity has changed, and with it, brought in a new era of prosperity. Males and females still exist, but the spectrum from which humanity is cast has broadened. With the introduction of alpha, omega, and beta, humanity has evolved even further. In such a word, Dr. Andrew Knox, known environmental researcher, is happy being a beta male. It has made his life easier by being middle ground, and as much as some wish he was one way or the other, he’s happy being who he is. Thriving even. He works in a world renowned research facility. He makes friends easily, and his projects are always funded. He even found someone who he thinks he could end up marrying if things continue in the right direction. That, and the vacant house next to his apartment building gets bought by a new neighbour. A cute, but cautious omega who relies on Andrew as a beta for help. Andrew couldn’t be happier. He loves being a helper, and loves when people rely on him. All in all, Andrew really thinks he has everything made. That is, until a research project with shoddy data is thrown back into his face that he has no recollection of working on, and all of his reputation disintegrates in between one heartbeat and the next. Heartbroken, it isn’t until Andrew wakes up, chained to a wall that everything becomes clear. He becomes a test subject to one of the scientists that he trusted. That he expected would never harm him. The life he had known, where he was a respected researcher was ripped out from underneath him. His identity and everything he’s ever known is stolen from him from a crazed researcher who he had trusted, maybe even loved. He has to relearn who he is, what he is, from scratch. Thankfully, he has one person in his corner. He just never expected to have to rely on someone whose shoulders were so small. This is an a/b/o story, and will have those tropes associated with it. I hope you enjoy :)

If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else who can get the marriage certificates today.” His expression darkened as he pulled her close. “Once offered to me, it’s mine alone.” Unfazed, Arwen asked, “So, do you accept? If yes, we’ll get the certificates now.” “On one condition,” he said. “I don’t do contract marriages. The woman I marry will be the woman I share my bed with. If you agree, then we’ll—” “Not a problem. Let’s go,” Arwen said without letting him finish, pulling him into the Civil Marriage Bureau.

I used to believe time would blur what happened between Chenhui and me. Two boys in the same classroom, drawn into something we never dared to name. But even now, ten years later, I still wonder what really happened that summer. Why does every smile still make me think of him? With Lee back in my life and winter closing in, I can't help but ask myself: is this what it means to grow up, carrying the past even as we try to move on? (My story is quite personal and mainly reflects my feelings towards my high school memories. So it may not be as exciting or fast-paced as many popular stories here. As the website said, the plot of my story is not engaging enough and difficult to follow, and the writing pace is too draggy, which I have to admit is true. So if you're looking for a story that constantly keeps your attention, mine might not be your cup of tea. But I still want to thank you for reading this far.)

And I want more than what we have. Understood?” The dominance in his tone was obvious, while his words sounded like a fantasy I’ve always dreamt of. More than what we have. More than step-brother. ______________________________ I, a 19-year-old girl, had always had a secret crush on someone I shouldn’t have. That’s right—it was none other than Achilles Roman, my stepbrother, who was two years older than me. I had kept my feelings dumped in a Tupperware box for as long as I could remember. But how could I control myself when he himself started making moves on me? And what should I do when I realize that he was nowhere near the Achilles I thought I knew? Read to find out.
