❝ Objection, your honor... pero bakit puso ko ang kalaban? ❞ Si Ares Valdez, ang cold-hearted lawyer na walang pinapatawad sa korte. Palagi siyang panalo, palaging tama, at palaging kontrolado ang emosyon. Para sa lahat, wala siyang puso. Hanggang sa dumating si Kiel-isang simpleng, adorable, at sobrang kulit na lalaking walang effort pero kayang guluhin ang buong mundo ni Ares. Minsan sweet, minsan nakakainis, pero sa huli... siya lang pala ang weakness ng taong akala ng lahat ay bato. In a world full of rules and defenses, can Ares fight the one case he's destined to lose?

Lighters and Candies #1 on-going Note: Characters are flawed and not perfect. If you are not into flawed characters, you're on the wrong place. Started: 09/21/25 Finished: Haze Keidren Guervarra. A son, a brother, a captain, a middle blocker, and a volleyball player with a reputation as a playboy. He is open-minded and considerate regarding sensitive issues within their circle, such as LGBTQ topics. He's also very obedient, particularly to his family. The concept of love was nonexistent in his vocabulary, akin to a newborn who comprehends nothing of that term. Thus, he intended to only engage in casual flings and friends-with-benefits arrangements, avoiding falling in love with anyone. But God had already plotted its course for him when Aidren Kaiza Viancy, a seemingly delicate kitten-like boy, began living under the same roof as him. Events were straying from his original plan, and ultimately, he would be left questioning his feelings for Kaiza. As they spent more time together-through training camps, competitions, celebrations for their victories, and at home-slowly, they found themselves in each other's embrace. Because even in amidst of chaos? No matter how fierce and brutal the storm is, they still chose to be each other's safe haven.
