Pining Stories

A broom‑crash leaves Mildred and Ethel magically stuck within one meter of each other. What starts as a terrifying mid‑air cling turns into a day‑and‑night disaster: they can't separate without dizziness, magical tugging, or the world shaking around them. Suddenly they're attending every class together, eating together, sneaking around together, even sharing after‑school activities, all while arguing, panicking, and denying the feelings that get stronger every day. The spell begins to fade... but they don't.

The Malfoy's have decided it's time for Draco to settle down, eyeing the Ravenclaw pureblood he invited to their annual Christmas party.

Draco doesn't agree, and neither does Theodore Nott.

They've never crossed the line. Not when their hands linger a little too long. Not when the world assumes they already belong to each other. Not even when loving one another feels like the most natural thing in the world. Lorena Schuett and Natsha Taechamongkalapiwat grew up side by side-best friends, heirs to powerful empires, and the one constant in each other's lives. Everyone sees it. Everyone knows. Except them. Because some lines, once crossed, can never be undone. And Lena would rather live with a love she can't have... than risk losing the one person she can't live without. But when feelings start to surface, and the line between friendship and something more begins to blur- how long can they keep pretending it's not already too late?

LenaMiu: Fragments is a collection of unrelated short stories, each exploring a different version of Lena and Miu's love. In every universe, they meet, fall, break, heal, or find their way back to each other in ways that are tender, painful, and deeply human. Some stories are soft and romantic, while others are quiet, heavy, and heartbreaking. Together, these fragments capture the many shapes love can take: the love that stays, the love that leaves, the love that almost was, and the love that lingers long after the ending.

Eyes Behind the Glasses "Some people look at you. Others actually see you." For fifteen years, she lived like an invisible guest in her own life-careful not to make noise, careful not to ask for too much, and careful never to let anyone see how broken she felt inside. She thought she was completely alone. She didn't know that behind a pair of quiet glasses, he was noticing every single detail. He noticed when her voice wavered. He noticed when her smile was fake. And when her whole world crumbled under the weight of a devastating truth, he was the only one who searched through the silence to bring her back. A soft, grounded story of family secrets, sudden heartbreaks, quiet healing, and a love that stands still while everything else falls apart.

Teylan has spent his life caught between two worlds. Raised by the Sky People after the destruction of his clan, he returns to Pandora carrying skills and knowledge that many Na'vi do not understand. To some, he is a reminder of what was lost. To others, he is simply too different to belong. When the Sarentu find refuge among the Aranahe, Teylan expects more whispers and uncertainty. Then he meets Lìa. An Aranahe dyer with stained hands and a talent for seeing value where others overlook it, Lìa does not see Teylan as strange or broken. She sees someone clever, creative, and worthy of a place among his people. As Teylan grows closer to Lìa and the Aranahe, he begins to learn that belonging is not something others give him, but something he can build for himself. A canon-divergent retelling of Teylan's journey during From the Ashes, exploring identity, healing, culture, and discovering his true colors. [Cross posted to Tumblr and AO3]

I spent seven years loving Noah Bennett. Seven years watching him fall for other women. Seven years convincing myself friendship was enough. So when we arrive at a luxury lakeside resort for our friends' wedding and Noah shows up with his beautiful girlfriend, I make a decision. I'm done. Done waiting. Done hoping.

He finally starts looking at me.

Emma and Kai have been best friends for years. Their friendship has always been easy. Natural. The kind of relationship where neither of them needs to explain too much because, somehow, they always seem to understand each other anyway.

While Kai tries to live under the constant scrutiny of the public eye and Emma attempts to convince herself that she can move on, both of them will have to face a question they've been avoiding for far too long: When does a friendship stop being just a friendship?
