||COMPLETED|| When you give someone the power to do something for you, you also give them the power of undoing the same thing for themselves.

This is my story. It is pure and unadulterated. It is filled with passion and soul. The magic that flows through the pages is curated by imagination, timeless laughter, and the essence of a world created by the ones who dare to dream. I, too, dance on the wings of creativity. But there is one thing that shines brighter than the second star and ignites my intrinsic wish to explore the lands of fiction. Above all, there is light. ~~~ Cover by Ryn (@disney_fanatic36) Accolades: 🥇 1st in the Cupid's Charm Awards 2024 (One Shot Category)

Anela (Ringworld 7-CR} circles the GV2 star Anelon in the Hermes Cluster. The endless day this makes is alleviated by a Nightshade, a half-ring that orbits within the orbit of Anelon. The Nightshade blocks the sun to make artificial night, where stars never shine. Solon abandoned Anela 125 years ago in the third year of the Grolon War. In RingYear 4 (RY4), the Nightshade failed. The architects and engineers were gone, leaving no one to repair the damage, and no space equipment to work with. The Nightshade broke up with some chunks the size of continents. Some parts disappeared, perhaps into the sun or wandering anywhere in the galaxy, but a few still orbit, casting sporadic, brief night shadows on the Ring. In RY125, Joss Anders lives in Hemmler City, managing the City's Recycling center. His Second-Class Degree in Mathematics, Astrophysics, and Celestial Navigation does not come with the near-automatic opportunity for marriage and child licenses. He lives the singleton life, common to most adult Anelons under 40. He and his best friend, Renny, enjoy the opportunities Hemmler City offers and find short or long-term Nightmates, known as friends with benefits. Joss's life takes an unexpected turn for the better, and over the next few months, he lives a future lost after college. Many anomalies begin to puzzle and worry him. Nightshades cast their shadows more often. Standard weather patterns change for the worse. Crop shortages raise food and drink prices. The birthrate is twenty-seven percent lower than twenty years ago. Joson repeats the calculation with the same result: the endless day of Anela will end.

In an era where time seemed to slip through our fingers like grains of sand, and distance kept us apart, there was a love so profound that it yearned for a connection beyond the bounds of mere moments. When modern gadgets and gizmos failed to bridge the chasm between hearts, the old-fashioned charm of a timeless treasure came to the rescue. For in those days of yore, where communication was crafted with heartfelt ink on parchment, the power of a love letter held sway. No instant message, no multimedia spectacle, nor virtual call could rival the beauty and enchantment that a love letter bestowed upon its recipient. Its essence was woven through the fabric of time, leaving a legacy of romance that endured for centuries. In a realm where the senses were enraptured by each handwritten word, the fragrance of love permeated the air. The soft rustling of paper as the letter was unfurled, the sound of the reader's heartbeat quickening with every turn of the page, all added to the symphony of romance. And so, as the years passed and the world evolved, the power of the love letter remained untouched by time and technology. For its magic resided not in the medium but in the heartfelt emotions it carried within. This grand tradition of pouring one's soul onto paper, just as the valiant priest Valentine once did, ensured that the spirit of love endured, making each Valentine's Day a celebration of the enduring power of the heart's desires.'
