Fishoutofwater Stories

"They were born to run. He doesn't remember why... But something inside him does." In the blink of an eye, his entire world changed. Horses no longer ran on four legs beneath jockeys. They stood tall, wore uniforms, laughed, cried, and chased glittering dreams under stadium lights. Every time he watches them run, something inside him stirs. A quiet, unexplainable itch. Their strides feel familiar in a way he can't explain, yet these girls are so much more than what that feeling remembers. A slow-burn story about forgotten bonds he doesn't fully understand, silent longing, and learning to live with what his heart still reaches for. ℧------------------------------------------------------------℧ • A small note: The MC is partly a reflection of me. Some of his feelings, insecurities, and way of seeing the world come from my own life experiences. This obviously means this will be a self insert of sorts, but I hope that makes the story feel a little more real in a way. <3 CREDITS Original cover art done by: ouri (aya pine) The Umamusume Project by Cygames (i am not in any way related to any of the companies/people listed above. all rights to some of the work being used in this story belong to them.)

By day, 18-year-old Freddie Wilson is the definition of "average." He maintains a perfect attendance record, coasts through club activities, and finishes his homework before dinner. To the outside world, he's a model student running on autopilot. ​But Freddie has a secret. His real life only begins when the door locks and the monitor hums to life. He spends his nights escaping into the digital embrace of virtual companions-2D and 3D generated girlfriends who don't judge, demand, or leave. Among them, "Sassy_Selena_247" is his favorite: a perfect algorithmic mixture of wit and beauty. ​It was supposed to be another routine session. That is, until his custom rig began to scream. Sparks flew, the screen rippled like water, and a blinding surge of energy threw Freddie across the room. When the smoke cleared, the screen was blank... and a very real, very unconscious girl was lying on his bedroom floor. ​Freddie just wanted to chat. Now, he has to figure out how to explain why his internet history is breathing on his carpet. Written by BlackieChan

She knows how to disappear. He was raised to be seen. Ji-han is Korea's most untouchable star, heir to two dynasties, and a man trained to survive scrutiny. Franky is an ESL teacher with no interest in fame, fortune, or being managed. When she's hired as his live-in tutor for a career-defining role, the rules are simple: language only. No more, no less. But as the cameras close in and families tighten their grip, privacy becomes impossible-and feelings turn into a liability. This is not a fairytale. It's a story about power, exile, and choosing each other when the world makes it unsafe. Slow burn. Emotional realism. No real villains. Just consequences. Author's Note: Got tired of the tropes but still can't get enough of them, so here's my take.

Rosella "Rosie" Beatrice Ortigas talks like she breathes-non-stop, unapologetically, and preferably in three languages with one eye-roll per sentence. After an "attitude problem" scandal that set Manila's gossip mill on fire, her family ships her off to the province, far from Gucci storefronts and WiFi signals, hoping fresh air might fix what a hundred therapists couldn't. She's fully prepared to hate it. That is, until she accidentally crashes into Santiago "Santi" Velarde, the quiet boy next door-emphasis on quiet. Half-French, half-softboi, full mystery, Santi is all unread glances and mismatched socks, recently returned from studying abroad to visit his childhood yaya for the summer. He likes peace, long walks, and absolutely not talking to anyone, especially not chatty girls with loud opinions and louder playlists. But Rosie? She never met a wall she couldn't talk through. As rice fields and late-night conversations replace city lights, Rosie begins to wonder- what if the best part of her summer wasn't escaping Manila... but being seen, truly seen, by someone who doesn't even speak half as much? And maybe, just maybe, Santi starts to realize... zome noise is worth listening to.

He measures life in seasons and calloused hands; she measures it in gala invitations and private jet miles. Liam was never supposed to leave the dusty roads of his sleepy hometown. Elena was never supposed to step foot on them. When a breakdown strands the city's most "eligible heiress" in a town that doesn't even have a Starbucks, a collision is inevitable. In a world of designer labels and iron-clad expectations, can a girl who has everything find what she's missing in a boy who has nothing but his word?
