Click Bait
A Grumpy Sunshine Sapphic Romance
by Aurora North
Pairing: FF
Heat: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ Inferno
Tropes: Enemies to Lovers, Grumpy/Sunshine, Forced Proximity, Praise Kink
She’s the ice queen speedrunner everyone fears. She’s the cam-girl everyone underestimates. One shared hotel room changes everything.
Lena “Rook” Kovacs doesn’t do feelings. The world record holder for Phantom Protocol speedruns has spent her entire career cultivating an image of cold, mechanical perfection. Emotions are weaknesses. Attachments are liabilities. And the pink-haired variety streamer who just called her content “glorified button-mashing” is absolutely, definitely not her type.
She’s never hated anyone more.
Sarah “Cherry LaRue” Chen is a survivor. Behind the bubbly cam-girl persona is a woman drowning in bills, supporting a brother with MS, and running from a stalker who won’t take no for an answer. She doesn’t have time for the stuck-up speedrunner who looks at her like she’s something scraped off the bottom of a gaming chair.
She’s never met anyone more infuriating.
When a convention mix-up forces them to share a hotel room, their public feud collides with an undeniable private chemistry. The pillow wall between their beds keeps falling down. The insults keep turning into something else. And when Sarah’s stalker escalates from creepy messages to real-world threats, Lena discovers that protecting the woman she’s supposed to hate might cost her everything—including the carefully constructed walls around her heart.
But the internet is watching. And some secrets are impossible to keep.

Chapter One: World Record
The run was perfect.
I hit the final input at exactly 47:23:847, shaving off twelve milliseconds from my previous world record. Twelve milliseconds that had cost me three months of practice, countless failed attempts, and approximately four hundred hours of my life I’d never get back.
Worth it.
The stream chat exploded—a wall of PogChamps and “ROOK GOAT” and the inevitable donation sounds that would pay my rent for the next three months. I didn’t smile. I never smiled on camera. My brand was cold efficiency, mechanical precision, the kind of detached excellence that made sponsors feel like they were investing in a guaranteed return.
Emotions were variables. Variables introduced error. And I didn’t do errors.
“New world record for Phantom Protocol any-percent,” I said into the microphone, keeping my voice flat. “Forty-seven minutes, twenty-three seconds, eight hundred forty-seven milliseconds. Previous record was forty-seven twenty-three eight-five-nine, held by me.”
