Almost Stories

What do you call a love that was everything- except enough? Annalise has always been haunted by dreams of a faceless stranger who feels achingly familiar. Then there's Silas, her childhood friend who has loved her quietly, patiently, and without asking for anything in return. But fate doesn't play fair. Between a love that is steady and present, and a love that spans lifetimes but carries pain, Elise finds herself torn. This is not a story about happy endings. It's about the people who almost had them.

She left with a broken heart. He stayed with unspoken words. Three years later, a red scarf on Platform Three forces them to confront the truth: love isn't about almost - it's about choosing.

L.I.E.U. Loved In Every Universe "I loved you in every universe. Even the ones where you loved me back. Even the ones where I got to stay. Even this one. Especially this one." Smallville, 2001. Almost. It's the word you use when you were close but not close enough. She almost told him. He almost loved her. They almost had forever. But almost is just a longer way of saying too late. And too late is all they ever knew. Clarkkentxreader Original edition: Wattpad

A story of staying too long, forgiving too much, and learning the hardest lesson of all: sometimes the love you've been searching for has been inside you all along.

We treated the feeling like a trace, small, persistent, uncontested by distance, until the clock stamped 'inconclusive' on what might have been.

"He was afraid to lose her... so he never truly held on." Ruby always thought keeping things the same meant keeping her close. So he ignored the moment they shared, the confession they never spoke of again. He smiled for the world, to everyone-except the girl who loved him most. And Sapphire? She waited. Hoped. Hurt. Until the silence became louder than her love, and she walked away without looking back. Now, Ruby is left with the echoes of what he never said, haunted by the space she left behind-and by the sight of her smiling beside someone else. This is a story of missed chances, emotional growth, and a boy who must finally learn how to love her-not just in his heart, but in the way he shows it.

Caleb and Lia have known each other since childhood, growing up side by side as friends while one secretly loved the other. Through high school and college, they shared laughter, memories, and moments that brought them closer, but obstacles, timing, and unspoken fears kept them from confessing their true feelings. As their bond slowly turned into love, they finally found the courage to be together, dreaming of a future and promising marriage. Yet life had other plans - opportunities, distance, and choices kept them apart, leaving their love forever suspended in a heart-wrenching space of almost, but never been.

Note: I wrote this without proof-reading it, and I was twelve. I am completely sorry if you find this carrot-y, cringe-worthy, and grammatically incorrect--but this was written in my early One Direction obsession--it'd be nice if you bear with me. Or even better; not read this at all. Save yourself. -- It's a little funny actually. The person you don't even want to see again suddenly comes back, and even though you promised yourself multiple times that you will never accept them in your arms again, you know it's just impossible to resist. Especially when that person is your best friend, and the person you fell in love with.

A snowstorm. A single room. Two strangers with nowhere else to go. When Alya takes refuge from the blizzard in a small inn nestled in the countryside, she doesn't expect to share the last vacant room with Levi-introverted, kindhearted, and gentle. What begins as an uneasy silence gradually unfolds into a night filled with confessions, stories, and secrets spoken under the promise that by dawn, they will go their separate ways. For Alya, the ocean represents a wound she has never spoken of-until Levi's presence coaxes out the story she has carried for years. For Levi, Alya is the first person to see past his charm and recognize the loneliness that lies beneath. By morning, both of them understand that this night will linger in their minds, no matter how far they run. Sometimes, the weightiest burdens aren't the words left unspoken; they're the "almosts" and the "what could have been." Yet, they part ways without exchanging last names or contact information. Will their paths ever cross? Or would that one night be forgotten?

FAKE HAPPY | oh to be a woman scorned ... oh to be a golden boy ... until of course, the tables turn. GUNN!SUPERMAN x FEM!OC Part of the SINNERVERSE December 19th, 2024 - ??? Cover by the amazing @potter_spellbook

She wasn't looking for love, and yet she found it where nothing was supposed to be real. Role Play World promised fake names, fake lives, and rules that were meant to keep hearts safe - but between borrowed identities and whispered messages in the dark, something real began to take shape. Something fragile. Something dangerous. Zan didn't know him, and he didn't know her. But as the line between who they were and who they pretended to be started to blur, she was forced to confront a choice she never wanted to make: stay behind the safety of the screen, or risk the truth and lose everything. Almost Real is a story of hearts hidden, rules broken, and the love that could have been - but never was.

These are the notes I kept for myself. Just me. Nobody else. For a guy. For... two years. Somehow I decided it was my job to analyze every little thing he did-or didn't do-and convince myself it meant something. Spoiler: it didn't. Nothing happened. Ever. And yet, here I am, keeping receipts in my head, tiny proofs of... literally nothing. Yes, self, congratulations, you're obsessed. Totally normal. Definitely not crazy. Two years of nothing - and counting... Two years of almosts. Two years of quietly hoping he might do... something. Anything. A word. A glance. A gesture. Something I could finally point to and say, "aha! proof!" But no. Just air. Just moments stretched thin until they almost meant something. In my head. And only in my head. And the funny part? The real question wasn't "does he like me?" It was "why the hell do I care so much?" Why do I let him live rent-free in my brain. Quietly. Insistently. While doing literally nothing. Why do I give him all this space, this attention, this... energy, for zero return? Bravo, self. Truly, the ultimate one-sided rom-com. Starring me. Obsessive me. Overthinking me. And yet, somehow, I keep taking notes. Because even if he doesn't notice... I notice. Always.

They never made me theirs. But they made me feel like I already was. This is what it's like to be loved in private, remembered in silence, and left without a goodbye- because technically, there was nothing to leave. Every chapter starts with something they said. Every poem ends with the parts of me they didn't take- but still left bruised. For anyone who stayed too long in a situationship that was "nothing" but still wrecked everything.

Almost Daily is pretty self explanatory; it's a journal/diary of my every day life. Weather it be dull, irritating, or interesting I will try to write on an almost daily basis.

"Almost Mine - A Story of Love and Loss" is a raw, emotional journey of one-sided love - a love that was never fully his. This is not just a story, but a reality that speaks to every heart that has ever loved without being loved back. It's about a boy who loved deeply, silently, and endlessly. A love that went unnoticed. A friendship that hurt like love. A confession that broke his heart. And a relationship that bloomed only to wither away too soon. Through every chapter, he fights with himself - holding on when he should have let go, waiting for a love that was never meant to be his. It's a story of hope, heartbreak, unspoken feelings, waiting, and realizing that sometimes, loving someone also means learning to let them go. If you've ever loved silently or lost someone you loved deeply, this story will speak to you.

I see kindness, honesty, loyalty, and so many more words that can describe you. Our minds think the same and I've never met anyone like that. My breath is your breath, your steps are my steps, your fights are my fights. When your mad I'm mad and when I'm sad your sad. You pick me up when I fall down and can't get back up. You know how to help a broken girl. When I'm without you I see almost everything, but when I'm with you, I see everything. (Liam Payne) (Some Niall) ( all of the boys are in it though)
