Growing up together sometimes means knowing each other's dreams. Locked in-hide the keys. That has always been Vince Gregory Loender's mindset. At an early age, he already knew exactly what his goal was. He always made sure that he would shine, no matter what it took. His dreams grew even bigger than he ever imagined when his childhood friend, Bench Alves Zenoria, joined the spotlight in the same world he lived in. It helped him-it reassured him about his dream. At first, it may have seemed like a good idea, but good things often have their darker sides. When everything began to darken in the very spotlight he thought he was used to, what would happen if the only thing he could do was run away to save his own sanity-and the one he loves?

Life would have been easier if things went the way we planned. Take Gideon, an Iskolar ng Bayan at the University of the Philippines, who is on his way to achieving his dream of becoming an engineer-alongside the most important person in his life, Sam. But what if the same universe that gave you the person you never knew you needed is also the one that throws a challenge strong enough to tear you apart? Not just small and simple challenges, but something bigger-something that could drag down everyone you hold dear? Note: This is a BL story! started: 03.23.25 ended: 08.21.25 editing starts: 10.31.25

From the crowd's shouts whenever Zacchaeusse Euseff, the Fighting Maroons Volleyball Team Captain, steps onto the court, to the victories he earned during his reign as team captain-he's no stranger to the spotlight. But somewhere along the way, someone new entered the picture. Let's just say, a person who shared the same passions as he did-volleyball, guitars, journalism, and, last but not least, influencing. It may sound unlikely, but for someone like Euseff, he thought nothing could disturb his peaceful life. Little did he know, life had other plans for him. Their first encounter didn't go well, but somewhere along their journey, something between them began to change. Before they knew it, they were slowly falling for each other. Uno Ruiji, the Atenean, a Volleyball player, might have been strong enough to resist this kind of thing-but not this time. Not with him. The secret glances, the awkward silences, the brief brush of skin, the love they never expected to find. A slow-paced connection etched into their minds and hearts. Will this slow-burn relationship blossom into love, or will it fade away like burned paper-disappearing into thin air? Note: This is a BL Story!

In times when you don't know where to go, someone will enter in your life to guide you in the right direction. Miguel Andrew Huderxon was a Political Science graduate and the owner of a well-known coffee shop. After graduating college, he found himself contemplating what to do next in life. During this time, he met a stranger who loved studying in his coffee shop. What began as casual encounters soon grew into a friendship. Friendship, a relationship Miguel expected to bloom-slowly turned into something unexpected. Something they couldn't escape, and something they could never run away from. Jeo Marco Lavendoza was a genius yet quiet Psychology student, studying relentlessly to achieve his dream: to help people find their voice in the gentlest way. Having escaped a home filled with shouting, he somehow found himself drawn to another loud person-not loud in anger or noise, but loud in the way he expressed his emotions toward others.
