No one expected her connection with Tomura, nor the two children by her side. A decade later, Tenko joins Yuei, to prevent that, what happened to his father, would happen again. But the past isn't left behind. It surges back. About a story they ignored. About a cult slowly rising. About a cursed legacy, he both tries to break and is entangled in. ---------- Mature contents: -Strong language -Physical/psychological violence -Bullying/harrassment -Moral ambiguity -Substance use/addiction -Depression/suicide attempt/self-harm -Necrophagy -Lots of mentions around death/grief/mourning since the core theme exploited here is Tomura's death and legacy. TL.DR = I can't gauge each person's sensitivity and mine is basically low so you're warned. ---------- This story is also published on AO3, Inkitt, Quotev, Space Battles and FFN.

AUTHOR'S NOTE "I wanted to write a story that felt like a lost classic-where the prose is as heavy as the Essex mud and as sharp as a Lagos sun. This is for the dreamers who found themselves in a world that wasn't built for them. Expect chapters that breathe, settings that bleed, and a romance that earns every single spark."

When botanist Evangeline Laurent is entrusted with restoring the long-forgotten Imperial Conservatory of the Kingdom of Asteria, she expects to spend her days cataloging rare blooms and reviving neglected gardens. Instead, she uncovers a collection of hidden journals that tell the story of Rosalie Laurent, a brilliant botanist, and Edmund Vale, the architect who built the conservatory. As their decades-old romance slowly unfolds through the language of flowers, Evangeline realizes the gardens were designed to hold far more than beauty-they were built to preserve a love that time could never erase. But someone is determined to ensure the conservatory is never restored. As acts of sabotage threaten to destroy its future, Evangeline and the reserved Cassian Armand must uncover the truth before history is buried forever. A sweeping tale of love, loss, and second chances, 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒖𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑾𝒊𝒍𝒅𝒇𝒍𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒔 reminds us that flowers were never the true language spoken between hearts. Sometimes, love is simply the choice to stay.

Book 2 in "Daughters of Eve" trilogy Before she became the girl who ran away, she was the girl who stayed. Adeline grew up in the second pew from the front as the preacher's daughter. She knew the rules of her home, the kind of love she was taught never to question, and the version of herself that had been decided for her before she was old enough to have a say. Then there was Darryl. Patient, steady, certain. He wanted to leave this town and he wanted to take her with him. And Adeline wanted to go. But wanting and doing are different things. This book lives in the space between leaving and staying. Where you can see the door and cannot make your feet move toward it. Where you love someone enough to want to follow them and are too afraid of yourself to try. Where you stand at the edge of something for so long that by the time you're ready, it's already gone. Because loving Darryl had been easy. Choosing herself had not. Small town roots. Inherited faith. First love that wasn't enough to save her. This is everything that happened before she left her home.

Two young men meet at the wrong time in their lives. One believes love is something you fight for. The other believes love is something you sacrifice. Neither is wrong. But neither is enough.

How do I go back to loving the way I did when I was twelve? Back when every possibility felt endless. Back when courage was always naturally there. Back when our hearts didn't know how to be afraid. Almost Never follows Karlee as she looks back on the quiet years of growing up in the Philippines during the mid-2010s, where friendship slowly blurred into first love, misunderstandings, and people that we share our most cherished memories with. Through school hallways, late-night conversations, handwritten letters, and rainy afternoons, Karlee discovers that not every love story is meant to become forever. Because perhaps first love was never meant to last forever. Perhaps it was simply meant to teach us how to love.
