❝She was there for her eating disorder-the kind that made her bones ache and her stomach knot with guilt over even a sip of juice. He was there for substance abuse-the usual cocktail of destruction he'd tried to quit more times than he could count. Somehow, they'd find healing in each other. Neither of them knew it yet.❞ In which Flash and Gigi met under unexpected circumstances Alternative Universe. #5 in #tumblr (05/08/2026) #2 in #alltimelow (05/14/2026)

Twenty-six-year-old Tori Williams catches her white fiancé in bed with her coworker three months before their wedding, discovering an eight-month affair that shatters everything she believed about love and her own worth. Devastated by betrayal and drowning in PTSD, she flees to Kyoto, Japan on a two-year MFA scholarship in design, desperate to escape the wreckage of her life in Atlanta. Arriving broken and barely functional, Tori navigates crushing loneliness, brutal culture shock, and hypervisibility as a Black woman in homogeneous Japan. She faces constant stares, microaggressions, and the exhausting work of existing in a country where she'll always be Other. Through traditional joinery workshops, she meets Ren Beaumont-a half-Japanese, half-French architecture student with devastating good looks and an emotionally unavailable playboy reputation, haunted by his own family wounds and running from intimacy through meaningless hookups. As they learn kintsugi-the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, making it more beautiful for having been broken-two shattered people begin to recognize themselves in each other's cracks. Tori must decide if she can trust again after annihilating betrayal, while Ren confronts whether he's capable of the vulnerability real love requires. Through cherry blossom seasons and autumn leaves, temple gardens and late-night workshops, they discover that healing doesn't mean becoming who you were before breaking-it means honoring the cracks while building something entirely new. This is a story about surviving trauma, finding home in unexpected places, chosen family that saves lives, and learning that broken and whole aren't opposites-they're the same thing, gold-filled and beautiful. ©️ Relle H

discontinued for the moment, sorry :) Harrison's a normal guy living a seemingly normal life. That is, until he starts to watch Maisie, the pretty girl with nothing but kindness to offer people. However, Maisie's a troubled girl, many would say vanquished, defeated by her own life. It's difficult to reach her when she's disconnected from the world, yet so deep into an unprotected reality.
