Richard and Nicomaine. They were like Asymptotes-two figures moving close, but never meeting. This is a story of near misses, and the kind of love that transcends life.

"Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice, but falling in love with you was beyond my control." Author Unknown AU Maichard

Richard Faulkerson Jr., after consistently denying his feelings for his old college friend, catches himself in a situation where he can't escape the charm of Maine Mendoza. After three long years of silence, they find themselves together again as housemates. (The Lady in Letters sequel; cover @jaysdei.)

Watch Richard Faulkerson Jr. and Maine Mendoza, who are both considered geniuses, make all the foolish choices in life.

Quirky and bold Maine Mendoza meets the gentle Richard Faulkerson Jr., who just came back after a year from the seminary... or not.

Maine Mendoza had been rushed into a wedding she never anticipated to take place; it almost feels like she's been sold to Richard Faulkerson Jr. #miniseries

What if life gives Richard the chance to do things over? "If you love someone, you should let them know. Oh this light that you left me, will everglow."

***An AlDub/MaiChard AU When I look back, I don't really understand what happened. There I was, comfortably hating her and her incessant chatter, her too-wide smile, her too-big eyes, and her constant need to annoy me. And then the dream happened. That stupid, stupid dream ruined my life. I dreamt that I kissed her and she kissed me back. And, just like that, I woke up and I was head over heels in love with her.

She is back. Maine is back. It took her four years to be brave enough and right now, she wants nothing but Alden's forgiveness. And she has no plan on backing out now to do everything to have him back... even as a friend... even if it hurts. She is back. Maine is back. And it took Alden four years to convince himself that he is waiting for no one, and he wants nothing but to stay that way. And he has no plan on stepping back now to do everything to move on over her... even as a friend... even if it hurts. Disclaimer: Just borrowing the names of Maine Mendoza and Alden Richards. This is in AU (Alternate Universe) fanfiction. And just like my previous 'short story', I need to make them older to make them more mature.
