Kintsugi Stories

Ysae Jyne Marquez doesn't make mistakes. ‎She erases them. ‎ ‎As the cold, untouchable president of Loop Troop, Ysae's life is measured in perfect stitches and 3AM breakdowns no one sees. One wrong loop and she'll unravel three weeks of work without blinking. Because that's what her mother taught her. "Worthless ang pangit, Ysae. Worthless ang may mali." ‎ ‎So she never lets anyone see her unravel. ‎ ‎Until Maverick "Mack" Marquez transfers in. ‎ ‎He doesn't know how to hold a hook. He doesn't belong in Loop Troop. And he definitely doesn't belong in her life. But one night, he catches her destroying the only thing she ever cared about-herself. ‎ ‎And instead of walking away, he picks up the pieces. ‎ ‎"If you unravel, I'll stitch you back, Ysae. Even if it takes all night." ‎ ‎Problem is, Mack isn't just a clueless transfer student. He's a secret agent sent to take down her father. And Ysae is the target's daughter he's not supposed to fall for. ‎ ‎Now she's caught between the boy who's learning to stitch her broken edges, and the truth that will tear them both apart. ‎ ‎Because in Loop Troop, one dropped stitch can ruin everything. ‎ ‎And Ysae is already coming undone.

On Elena Chen's fortieth birthday, a number appears on her palm: [30]. Thirty chances. Thirty memories. Thirty opportunities to understand why every relationship she's ever had has ended the same way-with her running. A mysterious painting arrives showing six panels across six centuries. All with her face. And a man named Adrian who claims he's been waiting six hundred years for her to wake up. Each memory costs her. Each time she chooses fear over love, the countdown drops. When it reaches zero, she'll forget everything and repeat the cycle. Forever. But if she chooses to remember-if she faces every moment of cowardice across six lifetimes-the price isn't hers to pay. It's his. *Kintsugi: the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold.* *Some scars aren't meant to be hidden.* *Some scars are meant to shine.* 🏆 Entry for Open Novella Contest 2026 | Prompt #53 Content Warning: Mature themes including death across timelines, emotional patterns, LGBTQ+ relationships (historical period), war trauma (WWII), and discussions of obsessive behavior.

Rose Anne Abalos entered the gilded world of the Marcos family not as a bride of love, but as a strategic pawn in a high-stakes political contract. Thrust into the spotlight as the wife of the First Son, Sandro Marcos, she found herself trapped between a legacy of controversy and the cold expectations of a palace. When a tragic accident and a public betrayal shattered her world, Rose Anne fled to Beijing, finding an unlikely sanctuary and a soulful connection with international superstar Liu Yuning. But the "Red Thread of Fate" pulled her back to Manila, forcing a choice: vanish into a new identity or return to reclaim her name. Choosing a path of "uncomplicated" truth, Rose Anne and Sandro moved out of the Palace to forge a life built on transparency, integrity, and the birth of their children. Now, as the nation looks toward the 2028 elections, the "Ghost Wife" has become a sovereign in her own right. Together, the Abalos-Marcos family prepares to return to Malacañang-not to continue a dynasty, but to redefine it for a new generation.

The Art of Repairing "Scars aren't meant to be hidden. They are meant to be honored in gold." Audrey Miller is a survivor who has mastered the art of disappearance. Haunted by a traumatic past, she has built a fortress of solitude, believing that a broken life can never be mended. She has stopped living, choosing instead to simply exist in the shadows. But Leo Bennett, a potter who finds beauty in the broken, sees her differently. Using the ancient art of Kintsugi, Leo teaches Audrey that the cracks in our souls don't make us useless they make us unique. As their worlds collide, Audrey must face a difficult choice, remain safely shattered in the dark, or find the courage to fight for a new beginning. The Art of Repairing is a moving story of grief, romance, and the powerful reminder that no matter how deep the trauma, it is never too late to start a happy life. Because being broken isn't the end, it's the beginning of a masterpiece.

Keith doesn't want to go to the funeral for someone who isn't dead, and meets a kappa and tengu on his way. Disclaimer - I don't own Voltron: Legendary Defender. This was written for the Fantasy Community's fourteenth prompt, where one writes a story about a cursed road, a restaurant/tavern/inn/wayhouse, a piece of headwear with a black feather and the Japanese art of kintsugi, the Japanese art of fixing ceramics with gold and silver lacquer. Keith's last name of Kogane means gold, and Shiro's last name of Shirogane means silver.

Whenever in doubt just remind yourself that you're beautiful with all of your golden cracks typically as a piece of Kintsugi💖🌻

Kintsugi is a Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending cracks with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold. This not only fixes broken potery back to being able to be used, but Kintsugi can be reflected on and applied to our daily lives. When we break, mentally...There is a way we can mend ourselves. Scars are embraced in Kintsugi by being adorned in gold...why not do the same for ourselves when we crack?
