Constantine was tasked to manage the property of her late great aunt Marta. When she expected to find nothing more than old furniture and echoing silence, she found and old book-and a story of an old tragic love written on its margins. As Constantine reads each page and note, her own life, which she held on in tight control, begins to unravel: betrayal, broken trust, passings, and loneliness trying to swallow her whole. Between the spaces left behind by a broken heart, would she still be able to believe in a promise of happiness? Across generations, two stories of love begin to intertwine: one a hidden history forgotten by time, one rebuilding on its broken pieces. This is a story of discovery, of rediscovery, of healing, and connection. And that love, be it past or present, has a way to change one's life in the smallest of ways. *Note: This is a slow burn story with LGBTQ themes, even though it was not directly stated. Updates will be SUPER sporadic, but I'll try to post every chapters I've finished.

[BxB] Aiden Rowe never asked for hockey. He doesn't like the cold, the crowds or the jocks. He'd much rather spend his time watching birds. But when he gets stuck covering the Port Howe Puffins for the school paper, his senior year suddenly revolves around freezing rinks, team dinners, deadlines and a sport he doesn't really understand. Somewhere between the chaos though, he finds someone who actually sees him and maybe hockey and Port Howe aren't the worst things after all. A soft, quirky and occasionally unhinged story about finding warmth (and love) in the unlikeliest of places. Content warning: lots of bird nerding Note: This is very much a queer romance with mature themes. Cover by @surrenderedstories

Theo has always believed kindness could change the world. Smiles, favors, small sacrifices-he offers them freely, without ever asking for anything in return. But when life at college begins to chip away at his health, his spirit, and his sense of belonging, Theo discovers that giving too much can leave nothing left for himself. Between cruel roommates, long shifts at a café, and the quiet ache of loneliness, he clings to the light he brings others-children at the shelter, a confident girl who orders iced coffee, and a steadfast friend who sees through his endless smile. Yet when kindness becomes exhaustion, when generosity hides hunger, Theo must finally ask: Who will carry the boy who has carried everyone else? Tender, raw, and deeply human, All That We Carry is a story of friendship, first love, and the delicate balance between giving and receiving. It is about learning that being cared for is just as vital as caring for others-and that the weight we carry is lighter when it's shared.

"Love is a forbidden masterpiece-one Rafaela Elisse Villanueva swore she'd never develop." Rafaela Elisse Villanueva has always framed life through a lens: icy, precise, and detached. As the heir to Manila's most powerful media empire, her future is a meticulously curated gallery of boardrooms and billion-peso deals. But when Hana Ysabelle Reyes-a fiery art scholar from Batangas with hands stained in kombucha dyes and a mouth sharper than a balisong-storms into her elite academy, Elisse's monochrome world explodes into color. Hana paints like she's rewriting history, her murals screaming with barong patterns and sarimanok rebellions. Elisse hates her. Hates how Hana mocks her designer skirts and "plastic-Tagalog" accent. Hates how her camera betrays her, capturing Hana's sweat-soaked neck, her sunburned shoulders, the way she whispers "prinsesa" like a curse and a caress. For five years, Elisse hides her heart behind a shutter's click-until graduation day, when she confesses with a trembling kiss. Hana's rejection is a slap: "My family would burn our nipa hut before they accept this." Ten years later, Elisse is a ruthless lawyer, her walls fortified by courtrooms and caviar. Hana is a mother, her dreams buried under a husband's expectations and a daughter's laughter. But when Hana's child is accused of murder, she crawls back to the girl she abandoned, begging Elisse to defend her. Now, Elisse must confront the photograph she's spent a decade trying to erase: Hana's lips against hers, a love story "raw, unedited, and ruined." "What happens when the muse becomes the defendant, and the artist's greatest crime is the heart she broke?"
