Between Silence and Sound follows Kane Abel, a young man trapped in the quiet confines of the Silence District, where questions are buried and the outside world feels distant and untouchable. His life has been one of routine and restraint-until a cryptic message and the weight of an unspoken desire push him to leave everything behind. As he learns that the answers to life's biggest questions may not be found in the noise of the world, but in the quiet whispers of his own heart, Kane discovers that true freedom lies not in escaping his past-but in learning who he truly is.

A cozy rivals-to-lovers BL about healing, high school, and second chances. Two years ago, Jace Walker had it all - popularity, talent, and the kind of ego only a teenage soccer star could have. Then he was kidnapped. Gone for two years. Experimented on. Forgotten by everyone but the nightmares. Now he's back. Back at school. Back to pretending he's fine. But Marcus, the school's new golden boy, sees right through him - and Jace can't decide if he hates him for it... or needs him. As Jace struggles to rediscover who he is, he finds something unexpected: friendship, love, and maybe even himself again. Will he ever stop being the boy who disappeared? Or is he becoming someone new entirely? Ranking Achievements: #1 in Superslowburn #323 in Boys
