*She asked for freedom and learned what it cost.* ________________________________________ This is a story about three people bound by the same love - and separated by the moment they were ready to choose it. Lisa loved Jennie deeply, but mistook freedom for distance and reassurance for presence. When she asked for space, she didn't realize she was letting go of the one person who had been staying all along. Jennie learned what it meant to stop asking, to stop waiting, and to choose herself without bitterness. In the aftermath, she rebuilt her life piece by piece - discovering that love doesn't disappear when it's quiet, and that being seen can feel like coming home. Chaeyoung had loved Jennie patiently since college, never demanding space, never forcing timing. She stayed when it hurt, waited without disappearing, and arrived not as a replacement - but as someone who was finally met. Told through parallel points of view, this is a story about presence, regret, healing, and the devastating truth that sometimes the greatest love of your life doesn't leave you - you leave it. And sometimes, someone else stays.

A mysterious, engineered illness is spreading-and the truth behind it may shatter the society that created it.

'Sweet and Sour' // Originally titled 'Ambat Goad' Sunanda thinks Shankar is annoying. Shankar thinks Sunanda is rude. Unfortunately, the two keep meeting across the same sweet shop counter. What starts as a string of unwilling interactions and petty spats soon turns sweet, sour, and everything in between. // Updates every Wednesday and Saturday.

At 3AM, a system begins. It just happens to involve two people. A single swipe connects a quiet engineering student in Texas to two football players in Ohio-identical twins who move through the world like opposing forces: momentum and control, instinct and precision. What starts as a late-night conversation becomes something neither of them planned. Not fast. Not loud. Not simple. Just... consistent. Night after night, across distance and routine, something takes shape-not quite friendship, not quite love, but something that refuses to disappear. Chris doesn't chase connections. He observes them. And this one is starting to matter more than it should. But not all systems are stable. And not everything that fits is meant to last. In a world that rewards speed, noise, and certainty, three people learn what it means to move differently-to pause, to listen, and to recognize that sometimes the most important connections aren't the ones you choose... ...but the ones you can't seem to let go.

Tulip Moreau inherited an empire. She also inherited arrogance. The boy in faded clothes was invisible to her. Until he wasn't. When her father's company began to collapse, when shareholders turned cold, when power stopped protecting her, the quiet boy she once dismissed returned. Not as a victim. As the man holding the audit that could end everything. He offered to rebuild what she had broken. But some wounds calcify. Some humiliation lingers. And pride has a long memory. This is not a love story. It is a reckoning.

Most people live one life. I remember all of mine. Every time my life reaches its end, another one begins somewhere else. A new world. A new time. A new name. Everything changes, and my story starts again from the beginning. In one life I walk through the noise and lights of a modern city. In another, I live inside a royal dynasty where every step follows ancient rules. In another, I struggle through poverty where every day is about survival. Once, I even lived as a stray cat watching the sea beside a quiet harbor. Each life feels complete while I am living it. But when the next one begins, the memories slowly return. Places I have seen before. Faces that feel strangely familiar. Moments that feel like they have already happened somewhere in another time. And through all these lives, there is one thing that never changes. In every world, in every era, there is someone my soul recognizes before my mind understands why. Sometimes we meet and everything feels peaceful, as if we have finally found our way back to each other. Sometimes we become part of each other's lives only to lose each other too soon. And sometimes we walk past each other as strangers, unaware that we have already shared lifetimes together. I don't know why I remember when no one else does. I don't know how many lives I have lived before this one. But I know this much is true. No matter where or when my next life begins... somewhere in that world, he will be there. And somehow, across time, across lives, across everything that changes... our souls will find each other again.

A blind girl with a blade and a monkey with psychic power called Molulu is following her around just because he find it fun. Not knowing much about the world where Omon is the one fighting, will she be mistaken to be Molulu's trainer or she can prove that the blade is all she needs?

Doncia sees what no one else can: colours bleeding through walls, creatures flying over the city at night. Her father's final gift--a pocket-watch that can blink the visions away--might be the only thing keeping her sane. When the beautiful boy begins to appear and vanish, belief itself becomes dangerous. The demon's purpose is stirring--and the world will break if she can't face it first.

Every summer, the island of Ibiza fills with people looking to become someone else for a season. For Marco, a bartender at a cliff-top bar in Sant Josep, that is exactly the point. For four years the island has given him what he needed most: anonymity, routine, and the unspoken agreement that nobody asks questions. Then Isla Voss walks in. She is a wealthy Dutch regular who comes to Ibiza for the light, not the parties. Quietly watchful, self-contained, and carrying something she has been carrying for a long time. She orders without looking at the menu. She tips without looking at the amount. She comes back the next evening, and the one after that. What follows is a slow, charged summer of cliff-top evenings, hidden coves, and candlelit dinners in the ancient walled town. Two people who are drawn to each other in spite of themselves, circling something neither of them is quite ready to name. But Marco is keeping a secret. And the longer the summer runs, the more the secret costs him. My Summer in Ibiza is a slow-burn literary romance set against the heat and beauty of the Mediterranean. It is a novel about the person you were before, the person you became after, and whether love can survive the distance between the two.

Between logic and emotion, between curiosity and connection, something unexpected begins to form. But Francis and Spock are not the only ones whose lives begin to shift. On board the Enterprise, bonds between crewmates grow, flirtations spark, and unexpected romantic tensions emerge - sometimes humorous, sometimes complicated, and sometimes surprisingly sincere. In the vast silence of space, some minds - and some hearts - begin to resonate.

For those who have lost, who have loved in silence, and who keep standing even when the world seems to crumble. This story is for you.

Anna lives a deliberately colourless life-one spent in the background, where asking for anything comes with a price she learned to stop paying long ago. At school, on the bus, at home, her world has been built on silence, routine, and the certain safety of going unnoticed. It's a balance she maintains meticulously, because being seen has never ended well for her. Then, one day, that balance fractures after a brief moment of accidental acknowledgement-small, meaningless, fleeting, and completely impossible to undo. Now, Anna is forced to confront the quiet life she's built. She begins to question whether survival is the same as living... and what it might cost to want more. She finds herself wondering whether the price is too low-or far too high. Because once you're noticed by someone, the world doesn't always let you disappear again.
