Ashes Stories

❝If we ever meet again, and we're both not okay... then we try again.❞ They were young, fooling and madly in love, until he left... taking her heart with him. Years later, grief brings him back. But she's moved on... at least that's what she tells herself. He still looks at her like she's his... and maybe she still is. Because... "love never really dies... it just turns to ashes, waiting for a spark." ©_laybie 2025 - 2026

The dead do not need a body to return. They only need a door. Keyur thought he was just painting a portrait to comfort a grieving widow. He didn't know the ashes he used belonged to a man seeking a vessel. He didn't know the widow had been dead for six months. And he didn't know that once you paint the eyes, the abyss begins looking back.

My Soul Dances the Blues No one knows exactly when enitnatsnoC oãoJ began walking backwards. Some say it was the day he buried his own name; others believe he was born that way, doomed to see the world through the reflection of its ruins. This is the story of a man who collects rust instead of memories, smokes to converse with ghosts, and turns every defeat into a song no one ever dared to write. Through cities where the rain smells of nicotine, forgotten bars, and abandoned railway stations, he follows a long road between love, guilt, solitude, and the slow decay of hope. Each chapter follows a track from the album My Soul Dances the Blues, revealing another fragment of his soul. There are no heroes, no happy endings, and no promises of redemption. There is only the blues-the only language capable of translating the weight of remaining alive when everything else has already gone. Because some people do not dance to celebrate. They dance to stop their souls from sinking into silence. And when the final note fades away, you may discover that enitnatsnoC oãoJ was never merely a man. Perhaps he is the part of all of us that keeps walking long after the heart has forgotten how to believe.

Elara Laurent grows up in a home where love is not equally given. While her younger sister, Sienne, is cherished effortlessly, Elara learns to live in the quiet spaces left behind-unseen, unheard, and slowly fading within her own family. As she grows older, the pattern follows her. The people she trusts the most begin to fracture her world in ways she never expected. Her best friend, Vanessa, crosses a line that can never be undone, choosing her own desires over Elara's feelings. The one person Elara silently loved, Julian, becomes a painful reminder of everything she was never chosen for. Hoping for something better, Elara enters a marriage with Sebastian Lancaster-a man who seems to offer stability, but not love. What follows is a relationship marked by distance, betrayal, and the presence of another woman, Valeria Devereaux, whose existence further unravels what little remains of Elara's hope. Caught between neglect, broken trust, and love that never truly belonged to her, Elara's life becomes a series of wounds that refuse to heal. This is not a story of simple heartbreak. It is a story of what remains when a person is slowly reduced to nothing- and whether anything can survive the ashes left behind.

Ashes & Sparks Two girls. One bloodline. A legacy they never asked for. Nova Raines was born in a blackout. Electricity bends to her will-but so does chaos. She lives in the shadows of cities, chasing static and staying one step ahead of the people who want to control her. Lyra Voss lost everything in a fire she couldn't contain. Her flames come from deep inside-from grief, rage, and a truth too painful to face. She's burned bridges, homes... even her past. They were cousins once. Almost sisters. Torn apart by tragedy and silence. Now, eight years later, a signal brings them back together. In a city that's already cracking at the seams, they'll have to decide: fight the system hunting them-or become what it fears most. But power like theirs doesn't stay hidden for long. And in a glass tower in New York, the Avengers are watching.

This is stuff that i wrote almost 3-4 years ago, when i was not really in a very good place and when bleeding ink on papers was my only solace. I'm well aware that it is not the best writing in the world, but there is only so much a broken heart can conjure. Enjoy.
