This story is a modern Romeo and Juliet story. Verona in my story is mostly a fictional city and the story differs from how it is in the actual play. I hope that you enjoy it.

Romeo, Oh Romeo (Yandere!RomeoXCapulet!Reader)
(INSPIRED BY ROMEO AND JULIET) Love was never meant to be simple in a city torn apart by name and blood. Love was meant to be sweet. Love was meant to be kind. But love, in all its beauty, can be cruel. When two hearts meet at the wrong place, at the wrong time, beneath the watchful gaze of fate, what begins as longing soon twists into something far more dangerous. When Romeo Montague lays eyes on her, it isn't Juliet who captures his heart, but another-a girl of the Capulet household, one he was never meant to love. At first, it seems like nothing more than a passing fascination. A fleeting crush. But infatuation curdles into something darker, something relentless, something that sinks its teeth in and refuses to let go. The closer he gets, the more the world around her begins to shift-friendships crumble, secrets unravel, and the walls she built to protect herself collapse under his devotion. Love was never supposed to feel like a trap. The girl he adores. The girl he was meant to love. One of them will not survive him. Y/n, the daughter of Juliet's nurse, never asked for his love. But fate does not ask-it takes. And star-crossed lovers are destined to fall.

A Striking Blow | Anthony Bridgerton
"...He resisted the urge to laugh bitterly. As if there was anything left to fix. The damage was done. His name had been dragged through society's cruel, whispering halls, and Elizabeth Kensington had delivered the final blow with a smile on her lips. He hated her..." "...And the worst part? He knew-knew-that the next time he saw her, she'd be smirking, triumphant, utterly insufferable. And he would hate her all over again." ~*~*~* In the dazzling world of modern aristocracy, where wealth and legacy reign supreme, Elizabeth Kensington and Anthony Bridgerton have nothing in common-except for the ironclad contract binding them in marriage.

The Goals of Love
So this was originally an english project. We were told to write a story inspired by "Romeo & Juliet". My english teacher told me to post or publish it somewhere so here I am. I hope you all enjoy and if you have constructive criticism or feedback, put it in the comments. Thanks! <3 The Capulets and the Montagues have been rival soccer teams for ages. No one knows why, but the teams despise each other. They just don't get along. Kassandra Santos, the daughter of the Montague's coaches, and Delilah Redwood, the daughter of the Capulet's coaches, never really knew each other. But one chance encounter between the two girls will change their lives forever.Complete
Obsession.
If you like fantasy/romance you should try my story The Flower Longed Death. It is written a LOT better than this one is! -------------------------- "You must've got the wrong impression if you keep expecting to get away with shit like this, so let me make things clear," He says with a calm smile. He moves his face closer to mine, losing the lighthearted grin that had previously cooled my nerves. I get a better look at the scar across the bridge of his nose, and the vague one X'ed onto his lips. Now I want them even more. -------------------------- Eighteen year old Mileva never thought her past would catch up to her after leaving years ago to live in New York City. She didn't think she wanted it to. However, she also didn't think she would cross paths with a guy like Valen, the Italian Mafia's heir. He's only twenty three, but he's somehow the most attractive and intimidating man she has ever met, let alone heard of. Mileva battles her anxiety adjusting to this new life of hers, while Valen is just getting comfortable with his new obsession. -------------------------- Word count: 110,000 There is a lot of graphic content, so please read carefully! List of specific warnings can be found in the introduction. The writing gets better as the story progresses, I promise.Complete
Tangled in Red Threads
When You Left Without Goodbye... "The hardest part wasn't losing you. It was wondering if you ever looked back." Juliet was the girl who vanished. No goodbye. No explanation. Just gone. She left behind a boy who waited by the phone, by the café window, by the places they used to be. A year later, she returns to the small town she once called home, carrying the weight of everything she never said. Romeo tells himself he's moved on. He has his routines, his café shifts, his carefully guarded heart. But when Juliet walks back into his life, drinking the same lavender matcha and sitting in their old spot, the past cracks open like it never left. Tangled in missed chances, unspoken truths, and a boy named Charlie who doesn't know the whole story, Juliet and Romeo find themselves orbiting each other again, too close to forget, too far to forgive. Because some people leave marks time can't erase. And some stories don't end just because someone walked away.Complete
