🌑✨ Luna Fagerstorm has spent her life fighting to stay afloat. A bright, strong, resilient Swedish-American girl with wavy blonde hair and dark brown eyes, she has survived her father's violence, her mother's death, and the crushing betrayal of her first love. Her heart is cracked, but her spirit refuses to break. Her best friend, Zoe, stands at her side through it all, urging her forward. Lucian Amato, with his dark tousled hair and icy grey eyes, is the very definition of untouchable. The rich, sarcastic Italian-American heir who once tormented Luna as a child after she accidentally spilled her lunch on his designer shoes. From that moment on, they became sworn enemies - insults, pranks, and bitter fights defined their years together in middle and high school. But Lucian's sharp tongue hides his own scars: a cheating mother, a gentle father who died too soon, and the crushing responsibility of caring for his younger step-brother alone. When fate forces them into the same college dorm room, old wounds flare - yet so does something unexpected. Slowly, between late-night balcony confessions, unexpected kindnesses, and shared moments of vulnerability, their sharp edges soften. Luna's brightness begins to warm Lucian's frozen heart, while Lucian's unexpected gentleness gives Luna the safety she's craved all her life. From music performances to spontaneous theme park trips, from awkward shared living spaces to stolen glances, their journey unfolds like a tender song: messy, raw, and breathtakingly real. But can two souls scarred by betrayal and loss find healing in each other? Will they have the courage to set aside their pasts and embrace a future neither ever dreamed possible? Heart's Redemption is a deeply emotional, slow-burn college romance filled with biting banter, heart-fluttering moments, and a love story that proves even the deepest wounds can blossom into something beautiful.

He is winter incarnate - silent, guarded, and sharp as ice. She is spring's first bloom - warm, patient, and impossibly bright. Lev Aleksandr has spent his life behind frozen walls, his heart a fortress built by loss and violence. No one dares approach him - until Mai Chidori, a girl with a soft voice and an unyielding light, steps into his final year of university. She insists on seeing him. Hearing him. Reaching him. Even when he pushes her away, even when his words bite, she stays. When snow falls one fateful December night, Mai whispers her secrets beneath the quiet sky - and for the first time, Lev shares his darkness in return. In that fragile exchange, something begins to shift. Through seasons of silent confessions, hidden smiles, and unspoken promises, they walk side by side: a cold heart learning warmth, a radiant spirit hiding wounds of her own. But as the final blossoms of their university days open, a question lingers between them like a breath in winter air: Will they have the courage to name the bond that has silently bloomed? Or will the petals of what might have been scatter before they can speak? A slow-burn story of trauma, healing, and a love that grows in the quietest places, "Shadows and Blossoms" invites you into a world where warmth melts even the coldest heart - and where the gentlest touch can change everything.

(Please do read the description until the bottom.) - The story begins with a little girl, not an ordinary girl. She was.. Special, she had horns like a Devil. Everyone would bully her, be frightened by her, and either mock her. No one was there for her side, no parental figure with her, no friends. No one. Until she met a young boy, the almost same as her age. A Russian boy was there on a playground, where the girl was going. She talked to him and became friends afterwards. Unfortunately the boy had to go. He decided to make a pinky promise/vow to promise eachother that they will meet eachother in the future. But, That promise took a very long time to reunite. It took years and months for it to be reunited once again. The journey continues in the book. - Enjoy reading it! - Art Cover Credits: artblog_bonnie (In Twitter!) - · • · ┊͙Started: - 18/4/021 (April 18) · ┊͙Ended: - 17/7/2021 (Dec 17) . • - This story is about Mid-fight Masses (Which sadly got remove/or went private.) + Please do keep in mind that the first few chapters may cause some cringe, because I had no idea on what I was doing. But it may become better the more chapters you go into. + Idk how to feel about this book nowadays since I feel so stupid reading it now. I know the way they have act here is quite different from the lore itself, I kinda have a reason- I wasn't interested in acknowledging the lore before so you may see some things to be different in the book. I really do apologize for that. (Edited, 27/2/22 - Feb 27)
