The Dark Lord should have killed Lily Potter. Instead, he offered her mercy. In the spring of 1980, at the height of the First Wizarding War, Lily Potter is captured while seven months pregnant and accompanied by her three-year-old daughter. Rather than execution, she is brought before Lord Voldemort himself. And he gives her a choice. Leave Britain. Take your husband, your children, and disappear beyond his war. Because the Potters are not merely enemies. They are blood-bound to him through ancient magic of the Peverell line and forgotten branches of House Slytherin. Killing them would awaken forces older than the war itself. So Lily chooses exile. The Potters vanish to the south of France. The war fades. Years pass. Children grow. Fourteen years later, the Triwizard Tournament returns. Harry Potter comes back to Hogwarts. His older sister, Eraya Nyneve Potter-Black-Beauxbatons' most brilliant witch and heiress to the ancient House of Black-returns to Britain for the tournament. And the man who once called himself Voldemort now rules magical Britain as Minister for Magic. Marvolo Slytherin. Eraya remembers only one thing from the night her family was spared. A pair of ruby-garnet eyes watching her in the dark. Fourteen years later, she meets a man with the same gaze. And there is something about that gaze-even now, just as there had been then-that feels almost haunting. And in the strangest, most unsettling way... inevitable.

"One truth, one dare, and a single kiss that turned the world upside down." Dunk thought he knew the rules of the game. When Joong-his best friend and the person he's been secretly pining for since freshman year-dared him to kiss him in front of the entire party, Dunk assumed it was just alcohol-fueled bravado. But when the kiss stretches long after the cheering stops, and the dares start getting personal, professional, and increasingly intimate, Dunk realizes the game never actually ended. Now, trapped in a cycle of "I dare you," he has to decide: is he playing to win, or is he just playing into Joong's hands?

🌧️ In the hushed corridors of a 90s hostel and the lingering fragrance of wet earth, two strangers found themselves under the quiet spell of rain. She was a girl of few words and watchful eyes. He was a boy who carried laughter even in his silences. Between shared samosas, cups of chai, and the rhythm of monsoon afternoons, Sharmila and Meghshyam slowly discovered that the simplest meetings often leave the deepest echoes. She thought he was strange. He thought she owed him a few more rainy afternoons. And somewhere between the falling raindrops... the rain believed it had begun a love story. ☺️ A short, completed Indian love story.

Scarlett Hayes was control. Logan Mitchell was chaos. They clash. They burn. And neither of them knows how to stop. Because hate was never the problem- it was the way it started to feel like something more. Something dangerous. "You can fight me, push me away, pretend you hate me all you want... but don't forget, Scarlett-no one else gets under your skin the way I do." And maybe that's the real problem. Because the one person she should stay away from... is the one she can't stop wanting.

They say there's a thin line between love and hate. For Lyra Lennox and Tristan Thorne, that line is a razor-sharp scalpel. Lyra has spent four years at the top of her medical school class, fueled by bitter coffee and the singular desire to crush Tristan. He's arrogant, silver-spooned, and unfortunately, a genius. But when a clerical error suddenly threatens Lyra's scholarship, her future as a surgeon vanishes overnight. Enter Tristan Thorne with a proposition that makes her skin crawl: "Pretend to be my fiancé at my sister's month-long destination wedding, and I'll fund your final year." It's a simple business transaction. No feelings. No touching. Just one tiny problem-there's only one bed in the villa, and Tristan is starting to look less like a rival and more like the only person who actually sees her. What if the person you've spent years trying to outrun is the only one who can help you reach the finish line?

Aranya Sharma doesn't chase love. She doesn't even wait for it. She believes in quiet things - warm lights, unread messages she never sends, and feelings she never says out loud. "Some people are meant to stay temporary," she once told her best friend. "And I'm okay with that." She thinks she is. - Shiv Malhotra doesn't believe in love. He believes in control. In logic. In not needing anyone. "Attachment is a distraction," he says casually, like it's a fact. At 6'5, with a face that could intimidate professors and a life built on privilege, he walks through college untouched. Unbothered. He doesn't believe in destiny. - Same college. Same final year. Same campus. They've walked past each other a hundred times without knowing. But destiny? Oh, destiny noticed. Because sometimes the people who don't believe in love are the ones who fall the hardest. And sometimes the girl who thinks she isn't enough becomes the only thing someone can't live without. This wasn't planned. It wasn't expected. But some stories don't ask for permission. They just happen. ✨
