    In the heart of Atlanta, rising R&B artist Christina is focused on reclaiming her voice and image through a deeply personal music video. Masculine-presenting, guarded, and used to moving through life on her own terms, she doesn't expect anything-or anyone-to interrupt her carefully controlled world. But everything changes when a young autistic boy named Anthony wanders onto her set, drawn not by the cameras or chaos-but by the music. Instead of shutting the moment down, Christina listens. And in doing so, she finds herself unexpectedly connected-not just to Anthony, whose pure and unfiltered love for music mirrors her own-but to his mother, Selena. Strong, protective, and quietly worn from navigating the world for her son, Selena isn't looking for love... and definitely not from someone like Christina. What begins as a simple moment of understanding slowly unfolds into something deeper-where music becomes a bridge, patience becomes intimacy, and two guarded hearts begin to open in ways neither of them expected. In a world that often misunderstands both difference and identity, Rhythm Found You is a tender, slow-burn love story about connection, acceptance, and the kind of love that finds you when you least expect it. "Love finds its rhythm through unexpected connection." "He followed the music... and led her to love."

    She was not my girlfriend. Not only my childhood friend. Not exactly my sister. She called me brother because of a promise we made when we were three, and somehow, the name survived longer than the childhood that created it. In Singapore, where everyone seemed to be measured by grades, futures, and acceptable versions of success, she was the girl who could calculate almost anything but never explained herself easily. A quiet genius with hearing loss, strange strength, too much memory, and an inner world I could only stand beside - never fully enter. I did not know if I loved her that way. I only knew that if she ever asked me to stay, I would need a reason stronger than fear to leave. A slow, emotional story about childhood, silence, giftedness, exhaustion, and a relationship that never learned how to become a simple word. *A slow emotional novella. Weekly updates, at least weekly, sometimes sooner. Planned ending. *A quieter side project while my main story continues updating.

    She asked to be remembered. So I wrote her into the walls. At a government-run shelter school where names vanish as easily as they appear, Anay is a quiet boy who draws faces so they won't disappear. Then Tanuja arrives - a girl with uneven hair, no past anyone will speak of, and a list of things that don't have names. For thirty days, she changes everything: the way silence sounds, the way memory lingers, the way love forms in broken places without needing to announce itself. And then... she's gone. But not forgotten. A raw, emotionally powerful teen story about memory, disappearance, first love, and the quiet rebellion of writing someone back into the world.

    Ellie just wanted a cheap room in a half‑decent flat. What she got was a ghost with opinions. Theo has been dead for years, but that hasn't stopped him from haunting the spare room - or from developing a very inconvenient attachment to the living girl who moves in. He's sarcastic, restless, and far too human for someone who can walk through walls. Ellie shouldn't talk to him. She definitely shouldn't laugh with him. And she absolutely shouldn't start caring about a man she can't touch. But the longer they share a home, the more the boundaries blur: between haunting and companionship, between grief and hope, between a life paused and a life still unfolding. When Ellie uncovers the truth about Theo's death - and the reason he's still here - she has to decide whether helping him move on means losing him forever. A warm, aching, paranormal love story about connection, unfinished business, and the one person who sees you even when no one else can. ---

    Sixteen-year-old Truth Morales has moved six times in ten years, following her father's military postings and leaving behind every friendship she's ever started. She's learned to pack fast, talk little, and never get attached. But when her family arrives at Fort Drum, New York, something about their new house refuses to stay quiet-especially the attic, where a charming, sarcastic boy named Eli keeps appearing. The catch? Eli died in 1986. As Truth unravels the mystery of the boy who haunts her new home, she also faces the ghosts of her own-loneliness, self-doubt, and the fear of being forgotten. Through laughter, late-night banter, and one unforgettable haunting, Truth Be Told becomes a story about connection, healing, and the strange, beautiful ways we save each other-even across a lifetime. Heartfelt, funny, and haunting in equal measure, this coming-of-age ghost story reminds us that sometimes, the people who change us most are the ones who can't stay.

    People are comfortable with stories they can label. This isn't one of them. Unreadable follows a quiet protagonist who learns early that silence is safer than explanation. Living in a world that constantly demands answers-about love, identity, and belonging-they navigate daily life by performing what is expected and hiding what isn't. When another person enters their life, not to fix or save them but simply to sit and listen, things don't suddenly get easier. They get clearer. This is not a love story. It's a story about existing without translation.

As Lily's manuscript finally begins to feel dangerously real and Isaiah's self-imposed exile comes to an end, the secrets they left behind in Los Angeles threaten to shatter their sanctuary.

    Asher Angel built his body like armor - massive, disciplined, sculpted strength designed to protect him from the world. Millions follow his fitness journey, but no one sees the person behind the muscle... the loneliness, the pressure, the fear of not being enough without the flex. Until Evan Hale walks into his life. A quiet filmmaker hired to capture Asher's transformation, Evan expects perfect lighting, clean footage, and a straightforward documentary. He doesn't expect Asher's shy smiles. He doesn't expect the late-night calls. He doesn't expect the vulnerability behind every rep. And he definitely doesn't expect to fall for the man behind the camera. But the camera catches everything - the accidental touches, the blushes, the shaky confessions, and the slow, tender unraveling of two boys learning what it means to be seen. In the quiet between flexes and breakdowns... in the soft spaces where words falter... they find something neither of them were looking for. A story about strength, trust, vulnerability - and the moments that capture us before we ever think to save ourselves. --- TRIGGER WARNINGS *(All handled gently, without graphic detail)* * Workout exhaustion / overexertion * Emotional vulnerability / crying * Anxiety about body image & perfection * Mild discussions of burnout * Internalized pressure to succeed * Brief mentions of loneliness No physical injury, self-harm, or abuse themes are present.

    Bluer Than the Blue Sky is a quiet, introspective journey through the heart of a teenage boy who sees the world from the shadows-watching, thinking, and feeling more than he lets on. After a bittersweet first love that left him emotionally scarred, he becomes withdrawn, a loner who finds peace in writing, guitar strings, and silent skies. But everything shifts when his younger sister ends up in the same class, along with two girls Jina, full of light and laughter, and Marceline Amaris, a soft-spoken, nerdy girl with Iron deficiency and eyes that seem to read between the lines. As the boy tries to keep his distance, he finds himself drawn to Marceline's quiet presence and the way she carries her own kind of silence like a song only he can hear. This story captures the ache of unspoken feelings, the confusion of emotional growth, and the slow realization that some people enter your life not to fix you but to reflect the parts of you that you've forgotten how to see. A tale about solitude, subtle bonds, and the search for something unnamed, Bluer Than the Blue Sky asks the question: how do you move forward when love and sorrow feel the same?
