A love that never had the right timing-but always had the deepest roots. Maloi Ricalde never asked for a second chance. Mikha Lim never meant to stay in the background. But when silence grows louder than goodbye, and shared spaces keep their ghosts-what happens when the one who got away is suddenly everywhere again? In a house full of loud friendships, brutally soft sisters, one chaotic married couple, and an accidental Greek chorus of women who've seen it all-this is a story of unspoken heartbreak, emotional erasure, and what it means to choose love when it stops being romanticized.

They were never supposed to meet. Mikha only needed a place to crash after her old unit was sold overnight. Maloi only needed somewhere warmer than a hotel while she was in the city for work. One loft condo. Two strangers. Twenty-five days until they go their separate ways. Pero sa pagitan ng quiet mornings, late-night talks sa balcony, spontaneous coffee runs, shared playlists, at mga hawak na mas tumatagal kaysa dapat - unti-unti nilang nadidiskubre na hindi lahat ng chapter sa buhay mo kailangan maging mahaba para maging importante. Because sometimes, home isn't a place. It's a person you found... while you were here.

Dalawang barkada. Isang beach resort. Mula sa friendly competitions hanggang sa tahimik na lakad sa tabing-dagat, hindi inaasahan ni Gwen at Sheena na ang summer trip na ito... baka maging simula ng mas mahabang kwento. 🌊✨

Eight women. Eight different lives. Two families bound by love, duty, and the invisible lines of expectation. Colm Vergette (MCV), an architect, has always stood guard over her younger sister, Saoirse (SAS)-the dreamer with words. Meredith Archer (MQA), polished and sharp, has done the same for her bunso, Jaxtyn(JCR)-the quiet engineer with steady hands. The ate-bunso dynamic was supposed to be simple: protect, guide, and keep the younger ones on the path laid out for them. But when the worlds of Saoirse and Jaxtyn begin to intertwine in ways neither family expected, silence becomes impossible. Glances turn into secrets. Secrets turn into risks. And risks... eventually demand truth. Set against ordinary days-coffee runs, late-night shifts, symposiums, markets, and family dinners-this slow-burn story follows the fragile balance between affection and authority, between choosing love and carrying duty. Because sometimes, the hardest people to confess to aren't the world- but your own sisters. ⚠️ Warning: This story is purely fictional and created from the messy mind of the writer.

Mikha Lim never planned to move in with Maloi Ricalde. In fact, she had never even met her. But when Mikha's family home in Batangas undergoes a full renovation-and her parents conveniently jet off abroad-she finds herself crashing in Maloi's upscale BGC townhouse. What Mikha doesn't know? Maloi isn't just living alone. She's raising Malcolm Jaeger, her two-month-old adopted son. What starts as an awkward, temporary arrangement quickly turns into late-night baby feedings, shared coffee in the mornings, and quiet talks in the living room when the world feels asleep. Friends drop by, siblings visit, and chaos unfolds in malls, beaches, and grocery aisles. Somewhere between diaper changes and accidental heart-to-hearts, the lines between guest and something more start to blur. But with Mikha's family house nearly ready, reality sets in: she was always supposed to leave. And now, both of them have to figure out if what they've built is just a temporary comfort... or the beginning of a home neither expected to find. A slow-burn, WLW rom-com with a touch of drama, Between Diapers and Living Room Confessions is a modern love story about found family, everyday chaos, and the moments that quietly change everything.

In the heart of Manila, where neon nights blur into heavy mornings, Mikha Lim lives two lives. By day, she is a razor-sharp lawyer feared in court. By night, she hides behind the neon glow of her bar-an escape she refuses to name. Maloi Ricalde, an indie singer-songwriter, drifts through cafés and dimly lit gigs, piecing herself together with lyrics and sketches no one else sees. Their worlds aren't meant to collide. Yet when they do, the spark is impossible to contain-pride against vulnerability, silence against song, control against chaos. Oblivion & Echoes is a slow-burning story of intimacy, betrayal, and the dangerous gravity of unspoken feelings. ⚠️ Content Warning: Contains mature themes: WLW romance (f/f dynamic) Emotional conflict, betrayal, and vulnerability Nightlife, drinking, and smoking Taglish dialogue with profanity Explicit/NSFW content in later chapters Reader discretion advised.

Eight women bound by shadows. Eight knives that could cut each other - or cut the world open. In Manila's velvet underworld, every smile is a weapon and every touch could be fatal. Mikha rules like a queen of silence. Colet bends odds to her will. Gwen kills clean. Jhoanna charms like velvet over steel. Then come the storms: Stacey, Sheena, Aiah, and Maloi - a songbird heiress who could shatter their empire. Betrayal, desire, survival, love - each knife is waiting to strike. Will you dare to hold the blade?

Last Call for Runaways Amelia Ricalde was supposed to say "I do." Instead, she jumped out a window, landed in a dumpster, and crash-landed into The Backroom Saints - a half-functional dive bar run by Rue Lim, a bartender who makes bad drinks and even worse decisions. Now stranded in Manila with nothing but a ripped wedding dress and a panic attack, Amelia ends up sleeping on Rue's busted sofa. Rue figures she'll be gone by morning. She isn't. Between spilled cocktails, neon lights, and arguments about cocktail shakers, the runaway bride and the emotionally unavailable bartender start accidentally rebuilding each other's lives - one disaster at a time. But when Amelia's past comes knocking, she'll have to choose: the perfect life she escaped, or the beautiful, chaotic one she's built behind the bar. A story about heartbreak, healing, and second chances in the glow of a dying neon sign - Last Call for Runaways is a WLW slow burn about falling apart, falling in love, and learning that the best beginnings often start with a bad decision.

Eight girls. One rope master. And a studio where no one leaves the same. Mikha Lim doesn't need to raise her voice-she lets her knots do the talking. Cool, commanding, and impossible to read, she ties with intention. Control. Care. Lust. Maloi Ricalde says she's untouchable. But when Mikha's hands meet her skin, surrender doesn't feel like losing. It feels like home. Tension simmers. Friendships twist. Everyone's watching. And everyone's hiding something. She ties them, yes. But they're the ones tangled.
