If you are looking for a fluffy RaStro fanfic full of rainbows and butterflies- this isn't it. Alternate universe, but not really. COMPLETED.

Filipino AU Genre: GL, Romance, Angst Language: English 90%, Tagalog 10% Glai and Rhi were once inseparable - bestfriends who are always by each other's side, sharing secrets, sleepovers, and a bond deeper than either of them understood at the time. Until the day Rhi confessed her feelings. Glai didn't know how to react. She wasn't ready, she was scared, and instead of asking for time or clarity, she ran. One panicked choice turned into silence. Silence became distance. Distance became ten years apart. Now adults living completely different lives, their worlds collide again in a way neither expected - through Rhiana, Glai's bright, bold, four-year-old daughter who instantly forms a connection with Rhi. What starts as a small encounter becomes the bridge that guides Glai and Rhi back into each other's orbit. Old emotions slip through cracks they both thought had healed. Unspoken words rise to the surface. And Rhi silently wonders if this reunion is a second chance or just a reminder of everything she once lost. As they navigate awkward meetings, lingering tension, soft moments with Rhiana, and the gravity of a bond that never fully disappeared, Glai is forced to confront the truth she ran from: She was never scared of Rhi's feelings. She was scared of how deeply she felt them too. This AU is a story of unfinished love, healing, and the slow rebuilding of two lives once intertwined and destined to meet again.

Rhian Elizalde is set to become the future Vice President for Operations of Elizalde Resorts & Estate-one of the most powerful hospitality empires in the country. Fresh off completing her MBA, she chooses to begin her management internship incognito, hiding her identity to avoid special treatment and to prove she belongs in the role she's destined to inherit. Assigned to Nobu Wellness Resort in Batangas, Rhian finds herself reporting directly to its formidable General Manager, Glaiza Madrigal-highly competent, notoriously strict, and completely unimpressed by privilege. "Intern ka, hindi ka bisita," Glaiza reminds her. "Noted po," Rhian replies, smiling just enough to be dangerous. What neither of them expects is recognition-immediate, unmistakable, and impossible to ignore. The woman standing in front of Glaiza as her new intern is the same one she shared a reckless night with weeks earlier, under false names and no expectations. Both pretend professionalism. Neither forgets. As the internship unfolds, the lines between mentor and intern strain under sharp banter, long hours, and unresolved tension. Glaiza pushes Rhian harder than anyone else, determined to keep control, while Rhian struggles to stay focused as her cover-and her composure-are constantly tested. With corporate expectations looming, a succession plan in motion, and emotions that refuse to stay buried, Rhian must survive her training without revealing who she truly is-or admitting that the person making her internship the most difficult is also the one she's starting to fall for.

One crown. One promise broken. Yllana and Ahtisa were once in love-quietly, secretly, and far from the eyes of the public. Years ago, they vowed never to compete against each other. But now, both queens stand on the same national stage, fighting for the same crown... and for a dream that only one can claim. Their past is stitched beneath every gown. Their silence says more than the judges ever could. And when ambition collides with memory-only one will walk away crowned. They were each other's secret. Now they're each other's biggest threat.

How long have I been crushing on you Jade? I first saw you during 5th grade. I'm at the parking lot waiting for Papa, out of the blue, I saw you just across the street, on the football field with your red baton and electrifying charisma. At that moment...I was doomed. My heart froze on the spot and as young as I am at that time, I understand love at first sight. Just how it was described in the movie's...the slow motion, the flying of the butterflies, the realization, the chills, you name it, I felt it, all at the same time. Oh Jade, what have you done to me?
