Lavender Marriage (Completed)
By @Jhonalyn Norcio
A perfect arrangement. A beautiful lie. An unexpected truth. Ethan - with his sharp feline eyes and striking pink hair - needs a shield from the world's expectations. Hazel - with her bright smile and long wavy hair - needs a safe harbor. Together, they strike a deal: a "lavender marriage" of pure convenience, built on zero expectations and absolute boundaries. But when the sanctuary they build together starts feeling less like a pact and more like home, the lines between their rules and their reality begin to blur. Can a relationship born out of necessity survive the weight of real feelings?

Across Seven Summers
By @john1208
June Ellis carries the echoes of a lost love, a decade-old heartbreak etched into the very soul of Camp Blue Heron. For seven blissful summers, she shared bonfires, canoe races, and star-drenched docks with the boy who stole her heart, until he vanished without a trace. Now, June returns as the camp’s new owner, a woman fiercely protective of her young charges and armed with a preternatural gift for storytelling, capable of weaving connections and drawing anyone out of their shell. Her mission: to save the nostalgic Adirondack retreat from financial ruin. But her past collides with her present when she discovers her vanished sweetheart is the town's reclusive carpenter, haunted by a limp, a young daughter, and a secret that shattered their shared future. June, warm and wry, grapples with the lingering questions locked away like old letters, determined to uncover the truth, save her beloved camp, and confront the bittersweet possibility of a second chance, even as hope and grief war within her.
