Niall Horan is tired (and slightly embarrassed) of being the only one in his circle who is still single. The people around him - his family, his friends, his colleagues - are either in love, getting married or starting a family. Although they are content with their lives, at least that's what they tell Niall, they can't seem to mind their own business and stop trying to set him up with someone they know. In their defence, they're just worried about him and want the best for him. If only he could find a way to make them stop... Alexandra Oh has just gotten out of a relationship with the guy she thought was the one and she's not looking to be in another relationship anytime soon. But she has a problem. A few months ago, when she thought things were great between her and her ex that shall not be named, she told her family and friends that she would introduce him to them. She will prove to everyone that her boyfriend is indeed real and not someone she makes up so they would stop pestering her about her love life. With said ex out of the picture now, she needs to find someone that could fill in the position. If only she could find someone willing to be her pretend boyfriend... or, the one where lies are told and lines get blurred

Nisha Lall is sort of used to living in the shadow of her older sister. She doesn't have anything against that. After all, she'd much rather hide out in a corner with a good romance novel than be in the spotlight. This proves to be somewhat tricky when she's chosen as her sister's maid of honor for her over-the-top Indian wedding and she can't seem to evade everyone's attention. She'd probably be able to handle it if it weren't for a certain blue-eyed best man who doesn't seem to notice how impossibly nervous she gets in his presence and has made it his mission to constantly seek her out. A story of hopeless romantics, an easter wedding, a maid of honor who has a really big crush on the best man, and a night in a tiny hotel room (with only one bed) that may or may not be the beginning of something. written for the 1dff discord server fic challenge; based on the "there was only one bed" trope with an easter twist.

COMPLETED // Updated periodically with post-story drabbles. The only thing keeping Neha Khanna together is the book shop she owns and the romance novels she loses herself in. Niall Horan, on the hand, is a cocky investment banker with a penchant for saving failing businesses and turning profits. If you ask him, he doesn't have a single romantic bone in his body. When Neha is on the verge of losing everything because of blissful ignorance, Niall's the only one who can keep her world from shattering. But, that's only if they can learn to get along first. TW: This story does mention the death of a family member. It is not detailed. A story about being lost and finding yourself, with help from the most unexpected of things: places, books, and realizing that everyone has a story - some just have yet to be written.
