Not a love story - a coming-of-age in whispers, chaos, and quiet strength. They were never mine. Not even for a moment. But in the silence between shared glances and almost-conversations, they became chapters of my growing up. This isn't a love story. It's a story of almosts. Of boys I met in classrooms and corridors, in colonies and bus stops, who left behind echoes instead of promises. Told through memories and diary-like chapters, To All the Boys I Could Have Loved is a gentle walk through the unspoken - crushes that never bloomed, friendships that blurred lines, and the quiet strength of letting go with grace. The names are changed. But the emotions? They were real. Maybe, they'll feel like yours too. - Selena (The Moon) Stories written by The_Fire_Born But told by Selena.

...𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺, 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦, 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦... In a land far away from the one we know lies a mighty empire, fallen in ruins. Elves ruled those lands once, governing all with peace and goodwill, striving to create a world of harmony as they united three mighty kindreds into one. Yet never would such beauty last for long. From the far south, a sorcerer lies in wait. He had once stirred up the arrogant so that they would betray their king, shattering the bonds of fellowship and brotherhood that had once held them together. And thus, with his evil cunning and malice, that sorcerer had destroyed the once glorious empire, throwing it down into the ashes and the smoke. Such great matters, it would seem, does not concern those of the world we think we live in, yet as three teenagers, with their own little differences, would see, maybe all the worlds of fantasy do also concern us, and fate would bring them to do great things, in a land that never even knew them...

Detective John Masters turned back to question the helpful civilian, but the man was no longer at his side. A grey-coated back was just disappearing into the alley beside the bank. The detective smiled grimly. He knew it was a dead end. He set off in pursuit, he had more than a few questions for that young man. He turned the corner and saw his quarry at the end of the alley. "Police!" he called. "Don't move!" Then the man disappeared, right before his eyes. One minute he was there, and the next second he wasn't. The alley was empty apart from a few pieces of rubbish, scarcely big enough to hide a rat.

2025 Amby Awards Favorite! A collection of poems for a dark season, featuring themes of loss, guilt, heartbreak, and regret (yeah, good times, lol).

Fifteen Days of Almost I'm not writing these poems to be beautiful. I'm writing them because they're the only way I can take what's in my head, put it on paper, and see it for what it is. For fifteen days starting from 10/08/25 till 25/08/25 , I'll write exactly what I feel the thoughts I never said, the moments I noticed when no one else was looking, the tiny ways someone can change the air around you without even realising it. Maybe they'll never see this. Maybe they will. But I need to see it. I need to feel it. I need to know if what's in my chest is real, or just something I made up in my head. This isn't just poetry. It's my truth, laid out for the whole world and for myself.
