Another one might be 'Circe' by Madeline Miller. Circe, a goddess, has her own obsessions. She is obsessed with her own identity, her power, and her relationships. The novel shows how she navigates through her life with these obsessions, dealing with mortals and other gods alike.
The obsessions of the gods can drive the conflict. For instance, if a god is obsessed with revenge, it will start a chain of events that creates battles and power struggles. This moves the plot forward.
Jeff Bezos had an obsessive thought about building the world's largest online marketplace. He focused on customer experience, logistics, and expanding Amazon's product range. He overcame challenges such as initial skepticism from investors and intense competition. His unwavering obsession made Amazon into a global e - commerce giant. There's also Mark Zuckerberg, whose obsessive thought about connecting people online led to the development and growth of Facebook, which has changed the way people communicate and interact worldwide.
I really liked 'Edward's Obsessive Love'. It shows how his love can border on obsession and how that affects the relationships around him. It has some really interesting plot twists that make it stand out among other fanfics.
An obsessive love novel often features intense and all - consuming love. The characters might be overly possessive or extremely devoted to one another. For example, in some novels, the male lead can't bear to be apart from the female lead for even a short time and will go to great lengths to be with her.
One popular one is 'Fifty Shades of Grey' which involves a billionaire and a complex romantic relationship. It has elements of obsession in the way the male lead pursues the female lead.
A common theme in obsessive love stories is the blurring of boundaries. The obsessed lover may not respect the personal space or boundaries of the beloved. Unrequited love is also often seen. One person is deeply in love in an obsessive way while the other may not feel the same. And there is often a sense of desperation. The obsessed character will go to great lengths, sometimes extreme and unethical lengths, to keep the love alive.
One well - known one could be 'You' by Caroline Kepnes. It delves deep into the mind of a stalker in the context of an obsessive love. The protagonist's actions are both chilling and fascinating as he manipulates the life of the woman he is obsessed with.
One popular one is 'Fifty Shades of Grey'. It involves a rather possessive relationship. The male lead, Christian Grey, has an obsessive need to control certain aspects of the female lead's life while also being deeply in love with her.
A young girl had OCD with a fear of germs. Every day was a struggle as she constantly washed her hands until they were raw. However, her family was very supportive. They found a good therapist for her. The therapist used exposure therapy. First, they exposed her to mildly 'dirty' things in a controlled environment. As time passed, she became more resilient to her germ fear. She learned that not all germs were harmful, and with practice, she could touch things without immediately running to wash her hands.
One great 'obsessive love stories fanfic' is 'His Obsession' which tells a story of a man who becomes completely fixated on a woman he meets by chance. The way the author portrays his all - consuming love is really engaging.
