Hardship Stories

He was never supposed to be born. But beneath the rusted roof of a crumbling home, a boy named Shay comes into the world-unwanted, unheard, and unforgettable. With a voice that stirs hearts and a soul too deep for his age, he sings through the silence of poverty, pain, and promises never kept. In a town that forgets dreamers and a family fighting to stay afloat, can a child born of almost-nothing find the sound that saves him?

Not all love stories begin with sparks. Some begin with silence, exhaustion, and the weight of responsibilities too heavy for young shoulders. Raghav Veer Shreyansh walks through college life with discipline carved into his bones-tough, responsible, and already carrying the burdens of a middle-class reality he cannot escape. Dreams are a luxury he rarely allows himself. Arshika Hridaya is chaos wrapped in hope-full of dreams, questions, and a heart that refuses to settle for a life half-lived. She believes in possibilities even when the world tells her to be practical. They are opposites. Not just in nature, but in the way they survive life. College brings them together-not as a fairy tale, not as a rescue story-but as two souls meeting at their lowest points. There are no grand promises, no perfect moments. Only stress, heartbreaks, responsibilities, uncertainties, and days when staying feels harder than leaving. Yet, through thick and thin, they choose each other. They fight for one another instead of fighting against each other. They stumble, grow, fall apart, and learn that love isn't about being saved-it's about standing together when everything is falling apart. This is not the story of a prince and a princess. This is the story of two normal middle-class souls who found home in each other while navigating life at rock bottom. ©️ COPYRIGHTS RESERVED. NO COPY OF BOOK IS ALLOWED STRICT ACTIONS WILL BE TAKEN

[ROUGH DRAFT] Wren has always chased treasure, not gods or glory, just enough gold to keep the past buried. But when an amnesiac god crosses his path, everything changes. Wren finds himself caught in a dangerous bond he neither trusts nor understands. Shadows of grief, memory, and prophecy follow their every step. And in the brewing war between islanders and mainlanders, Wren begins to question whether the greatest threat is not the gods above, but the humans who walk beside him. An epic of longing, power, and the weight of inheritance, Great Spirits is a queer fantasy that asks what we owe the past and what we might become if we dare to remember it. _______________________________________ @Aphrodite270 for the beautiful cover design!

Bailee Han never planned to be seen. A quiet, brilliant writer working behind the curtains of Altair Entertainment, she built her life around order, stability, and protecting idols from the shadows. Her world was simple: write, manage chaos, take care of everyone - and never be the center of attention. Then came Eclipse, the five-member whirlwind of lovable disasters who accidentally became her brothers. And then came Jay - Park Jongseong - the ex-soldier, rising solo artist, and walking heart attack who crashed right into Bailee's life... literally. What begins as a reluctant partnership turns into friendship, then into something warm, terrifying, and beautiful - the kind of love Bailee never thought she'd deserve. But with fame comes danger. Hidden enemies rise. Secrets burn. And Bailee, the girl who always saved everyone else, must now fight her way back to the people who refused to give up on her - especially Jay, who would trade the world to keep her safe.

People like to pretend love stories begin with tenderness. This one doesn't. Henry Calloway and Gwen Miller did not grow up dreaming of each other. They grew up sharp-edged and stubborn, bound by resentment, bruised pride, and a past best left behind. By the time they escaped their small-town gravity, they were certain they had outrun one another for good. They were wrong. Years later, they meet again in a hospital ward that smells of antiseptic and inevitability. He is a patient who refuses to be easy. She is a trainee who refuses to look away. Neither is happy to see the other. Neither can leave. Told by a knowing narrator who understands how stories end long before the characters do, this is a tale of illness, endurance, and the quiet violence of unfinished history. Of love that does not arrive gently, but insists. Of time, which takes everything eventually, and the people who choose each other anyway. This is not a story about falling in love. It is a story about what survives.

Hello to everyone who is going to read this. What you are about to see in this book is not just a poems that have been put here by me just because I feel like it. The poems were and still are quite personal to me, yet I want to share them here so a part of me will probably be put to rest when people read what my soul always have wanted to cry out the hardest. Believe me when I say that I'm doing this just so I can let it out and probably close a chapter in my life that I thought I escaped, but I never really did. I hope you will grow to love this piece of my heart even if it will be with just an ounce of what I feel for these texts which were written for times when I felt lonely in a big group of friends, sad during family gatherigs and parties, weak even when I was at my best. These poems are also for everyone who finds themselves in any of my works. To be honest I would feel honored if someone actually does so, one is free to hope after all. But anyways if you have read this far into the description, it would be a waste of your time to not read even a single one of these poems. I don't do this for reward, in fact, helping someone with these poems would be my best reward. So read as much as you like and if you have anything to ask me about these poems, please do do, I will gladly answer the questions. Sincerely yours, Author

Asa never planned on falling in love with someone like Amir Malik Sani. Composed, calculating, and far too certain for someone who made her question everything she thought she knew about love, faith, and herself. What started as quiet understanding slowly turned into something neither of them could walk away from. But love, as they both learn, isn't just tenderness and timing, it's choices, patience, and a war between what feels right and what is right. Between faith, family, and the fragile space where their worlds collide, Asa and Amir must learn what it really means to love without losing themselves and to trust that some stories aren't written by accident and everything happens for a reason that sometimes is not known by us. When their worlds collide, it's anything but easy. Between cultural expectations, family pressure, and religious lines that can't be crossed lightly, they're either each other's downfall-or their only shot at something real.

23 year old Adele Sommer wants nothing more than to escape her current life. While her parents are multi-billionars in Germany-they're also controlling dicks. Her whole life has been based on making them happy- rather than making herself happy. And the present is no different. Her dreams of becoming a fashion designer are crushed when she's forced to leave Germany after getting accepted at Harvard. Not only that- but despite her lack of interest in romance, her parents are pressuring her to marry an American. Sergei has many faults and mistakes- but the one he's questioning the most was his idea to live in America. At 18, he joined the military for three years, but after an accident, he returned home to care for his slowly dying father. After the death of his father, he left Russia and moved to America. He had falsely assumed that everything would work itself out, and he would grow to love the land of the free. But he finds himself dreading each and every day. At 24, he still has yet to find his purpose in life. Instead of living the American dream, he's stuck working day after day at a diner he doesn't wish to work at. And even if he wanted to, he doesn't have enough money to move back to Russia. So essentially, he's stuck working his days away. Two hopeless souls. One struggling to avoid the fate her parents have claimed for her, and find her own happy ending. And the other one is wondering where the hell his happy ending even is.
