In a quiet town where everyone has their secrets, two young souls find themselves at the crossroads of heartbreak and hope. Engfa and Charlotte first met as carefree friends. Life pulled them apart, only to thrust them back together after their hearts had been shattered by betrayal and loss. When they reunite, the weight of their pain is palpable, their scars mirrored in each other's eyes. Drawn by a mutual understanding of brokenness, they form a fragile bond, one built on shared vulnerability. As they navigate their own wounds, they begin to uncover the pieces of themselves they thought were lost forever. But healing isn't simple, and love can be as destructive as it is redemptive. Old wounds threaten to reopen, and unspoken fears push them to the edge. Will their connection be strong enough to mend their fractured hearts? Or will they end up breaking each other beyond repair? In this poignant tale of love, loss, and self-discovery, "Shattered Echoes" explores whether two broken souls can truly piece each other back together-or if some fractures are meant to remain.

Nataraja Awards ...where light trembles on shoulders, and glances feel like sighs.

As a civil war breaks out between northern and southern Thailand, both factions must recruit enough soldiers-including women-to fight. In the humble province of Songkhla lives the Austin family, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Austin, their eldest daughter Charlotte, and her younger brother Matt. The Austins own a rice field, most of their income from rice sales goes toward funding Charlotte's education. As she prepares to graduate from one of the most prestigious medical schools in Thailand, her dreams are abruptly cut short when the southern military recruits her, forcing her to leave behind both her education and her family. Months of boot camp, being pulled away from home and exposed to relentless violence changes her. Coming from a family of rice farmers to becoming a surgeon is what drives her-not only for herself but also to make her family proud after all the sacrifices they have made to support her education. As the war intensifies, women are no longer confined to supporting roles at military bases; they are forced into active combat duty. Originally recruited to cook and help maintain the base, Charlotte now faces her greatest fear-taking lives when her entire purpose in life has been to save them. After being transferred to the Northern enemy border,she must work along side "Waraha" as the new base leader-Charlotte's old position back at the Don Sai Base. As tensions rise between them, they must decide whether to work together or against each other. As the weeks pass, shared experiences of anger, loss, and the deaths of fellow soldiers slowly begin to break down their defenses and walls. Their vulnerabilities show in quiet moments, and their conversations become a rare refuge from the brutality surrounding them. What begins as animosity gradually shifts into understanding...then something deeper.

Engfa Waraha never believed in fate - until it threw her straight into the path of Charlotte Austin, the one person she couldn't stand. To Engfa, Charlotte was nothing but a spoiled, entitled brat - the type of girl who had always looked down on her, believing the world owed her everything. And to Charlotte, Engfa was the player who never took anything seriously, always playing the system. But fate, relentless and unforgiving, had other plans. One moment - one touch - and everything changed. What began as a fierce rivalry between two girls who couldn't have been more different slowly evolved into something more complicated, more dangerous. A storm of hate, desire, and undeniable connection - woven together by a force neither could comprehend. Then, without warning, Charlotte vanished. No explanations, no goodbyes. Engfa never understood why Charlotte left - and maybe that was the worst part. It wasn't just the absence; it was that she disappeared when they'd finally begun to understand each other. Years passed. The questions never left. The rage dulled. The emptiness remained. Just as Engfa thought she'd finally moved on, fate dragged her back to Charlotte - in a sleek office, in one unforgettable moment. What if fate had never let go, forcing them to confront what they could never forget? What if facing the truth could unite them in ways they couldn't predict? The space between past and present is filled with unanswered questions: Charlotte's disappearance, and the unbreakable bond that continues to shape their lives. ***** ⚠️‼️ This story contains: - Intersex themes (G!P) - Mature/explicit content - Angst If this isn't your cup of tea, feel free to skip it.
