Playing House
By @john1208
Five years of radio silence shatter when guarded visual artist Maya Okafor, whose murals can transform any space into an emotional landscape that feels like walking into a memory, finds herself entangled in a fake marriage with her former best friend. Her visa hangs by a thread, and his family's beloved Nigerian-Caribbean fusion restaurant in Little Jamaica faces closure. The rules are clear: one year, separate rooms, and absolutely no feelings allowed. But living above his bustling restaurant in contemporary Toronto, sharing a kitchen, a couch, and a past they never truly buried, proves to be the ultimate test. Maya, who craves stability but is terrified of needing anyone, must navigate the glossy downtown art scene and the intimate confines of their shared apartment, battling her sarcastic deflections and the resurgence of emotions she swore she’d locked away forever. Pretending becomes the hardest part, threatening to expose not just a fake marriage, but a very real, very dangerous second chance.

Love
By @Beatriz
Jason Todd nunca imaginou que tentar roubar as calotas do Batmóvel acabaria lhe dando uma nova família. Recém-adotado por Bruce Wayne, o garoto de sete anos é enviado para a Gotham Academy, onde recebe uma missão simples: deixar que uma aluna exemplar lhe mostre a escola. Beatriz Parr. Filha de Bob Parr (Sr. Incrível) e Helen Parr (Mulher-Elástica), Bia é inteligente, extrovertida, desastrada nos esportes, apaixonada por biologia e completamente obcecada por patos. Ela fala demais, faz planilhas para tudo, vive cercada de animais e usa pulseiras especiais para controlar seus poderes de fogo, que herdou da mãe. Jason acha que ela é irritante. Bia acha que Jason é um delinquente. Infelizmente para os dois... eles acabam se tornando inseparáveis. A história acompanha mais de uma década da vida deles: da infância ao ensino médio, e depois à faculdade. Entre aniversários com tema de patos, trabalhos escolares, castigos por conversar demais, brigas na escola, segredos compartilhados, patrulhas como Robin, problemas familiares, museus, campeonatos de basquete e incontáveis provocações, a amizade entre eles cresce até se tornar a parte mais importante da vida de ambos. Enquanto todos ao redor insistem que eles formariam um casal perfeito, Jason e Bia respondem da mesma forma durante anos: "Credo." Mas talvez exista uma linha muito tênue entre a amizade mais sólida de Gotham... e o primeiro amor.
