Where love is tested not by lack of devotion, but by exhaustion, jealousy, grief, and the fragile truth of a body that almost didn't make it. It is about boundaries drawn in blood and vows re-chosen in the small, daily acts that keep people alive. Lea and Rafael try to build something real while the world keeps demanding proof, payment, and punishment. Careers will wobble. Families will choose sides. Old love will refuse to die quietly. The continuation of Rafael and Lea's Before We Called It Love era. An original concept fanfiction from the Spectacular x Hey, Gorgeous universe.

On a quiet street where nothing ever seems to happen, two lives quietly change. Lea, in her mid-40s, has stepped away from the career that defined her. She moves into a subdivision where no one asks for autographs and the days feel unfamiliar in their stillness. Across the street lives Rafael, a lawyer in his 30s from a powerful family, grieving the sudden loss of his wife. He is polite, private, and learning how to live in a house that echoes. What begins as neighborly hellos becomes shared coffee, long conversations, and a friendship built on silence and understanding. They were judged. Warned. Lectured. Reminded of the age gap, the timing, the risks. But before the world had words for them- they were already something more. An original concept fanfiction from the Spectacular x Hey, Gorgeous universe.

Broadway legend Lea Salonga has built her life on discipline, brilliance, and the comfort of knowing exactly who she is and where she belongs. Rafael De Torre has lived his life between worlds- a trans man navigating CEO power by day, and a fearless drag queen by night. He is equal parts elegance and chaos, restraint and rebellion, a man who has learned to master masks as carefully as Lea masters her stages. When Lea unknowingly hires Rafael as her "very gay" personal assistant, their worlds-glamour and grit, precision and reinvention, spotlight and shadow- collide in ways neither of them anticipates. What begins as professionalism unravels into something charged, tender, and impossible to ignore: a connection built on trust, vulnerability, and the quiet hope that someone, finally, sees them fully. An original concept fanfiction from the Spectacular x Hey, Gorgeous universe.

Ang unang hiling ay pag-ibig. Ang ikalawa ay pamana. Ang ikatlo ay paninindigan-kapag ang anak ay kailangang ipaglaban. Jeri De Torre has every credential to walk away. A law degree. A voice. A name that protects. And still-she stays. Until one night, trembling, she finally tells her parents the truth: The man she is about to marry is hurting her. Everywhere. In every way. What follows is not vengeance. It is not chaos. It is something far more dangerous. Two parents who built their lives on restraint- now choosing precision. Book Three is about what happens when the wrong people mistake silence for permission- and discover they were watching a war form instead. A story inspired by the song "Hiling" by Mark Carpio (2015).

The President and the Vice President of the Philippines are supposed to be untouchable. Disciplined. Unshakeable. Alone-by design. Lea Salonga never planned on falling in love with Rafael De Torre. Not when he was the most powerful man in the country. Not when she was the woman standing one step behind him. Not when loving him meant silence, distance, and knowing she would never be chosen. For years, it is one-sided-stolen glances, late-night briefings, quiet loyalty masquerading as professionalism. She loves him quietly, painfully, and without hope. Until one night changes everything. Behind closed doors, amidst political pressure, impossible expectations, and long nights where the country feels heavier than ever, Rafael finally sees her. Not as his Vice President. Not as his second-in-command. But as Lea. What happens when two people who have stood side by side for years suddenly feel like they're meeting for the first time? A story inspired by the song "For The First Time" by The Script (2010). An original concept fanfiction from the Spectacular x Hey, Gorgeous universe.

They thought the hardest part was loving each other. They were wrong. Ten years after choosing a quiet life, Lea Salonga and Rafael De Torre have built something rare- a home untouched by ambition. Then the country asks Rafael to run. Not because he wants to. Not because it's good timing. But because he is the nation's last, unfractured hope. Lea hesitates. Rafael is terrified. And their nine-year-old daughter-already louder than either of them ever were- asks the question no adult dares to answer: "If doing the right thing costs us... does that mean it isn't right?" This is about love that stays- even when everything else becomes public property. A story inspired by the song "Hiling" by Mark Carpio (2015). An original concept fanfiction from the Spectacular x Hey, Gorgeous universe.

Ito ay isang dalangin- huwag sanang ipagkait... Lea Salonga already knows who she is. A woman whose voice fills theaters, whose name no longer asks permission to exist, whose life was built from discipline, sacrifice, and grace. Rafael De Torre is a senator with bigger dreams. Bigger than love. Bigger than promises. Bigger than the quiet life Lea keeps hoping for. When their paths collide again, love becomes unbearable. Because some men love with ambition louder than their hearts. And some women get tired of waiting for a future that keeps being postponed.

Some loves arrive loudly. Others make you wait. Lea Salonga has learned how to stand alone-under spotlights, in applause, in silence. Love, however, has always felt like something she might outgrow before it ever stays. Rafael De Torre believes in timing. In patience. In the quiet certainty that what is meant for you does not rush-but it does not leave either. This story is not about falling fast. It is about choosing to stay. About waiting without guarantees. About believing, even on the longest nights, that love will arrive. Darating din. Someday-it will come. A story inspired by the song "Darating Din" by TJ Monterde (2025). An original concept fanfiction from the Spectacular x Hey, Gorgeous universe.

Dr. Lea Salonga has been called many things - prodigy, perfectionist, savior. At Grey Sloan Memorial, she's simply the heart whisperer - the cardiothoracic surgeon whose hands could restart miracles and whose standards no one ever meets. Brilliant, disciplined, and notoriously difficult, she's spent years saving hearts while protecting her own. Then comes Rafael De Torre - heir to one of the Philippines' most powerful hospital dynasties, a man running from a legacy written in bloodlines and headlines. Choosing Seattle over Manila was supposed to be his clean slate - just another intern learning to hold a scalpel steady. Until he ends up holding one beside her. Their first operation is chaos and chemistry. Their first argument, fire and precision. And somewhere between the rounds, the sutures, and the sleepless nights, something fragile starts to pulse - something neither protocol nor logic can stop. In a hospital where saving lives is routine, falling for your superior is a complication no one prepares for. Because some hearts don't need repair - they just need permission to beat.

Lea Salonga never expected to find herself back on local soil, much less under contract with Rafael's network. Once a Broadway darling, now a sought-after actress, she's learned to navigate fame with grace - until Rafael de Torre walks into her life with a script she can't refuse and eyes that see far too much. When your name is the brand and your life is the headline, falling in love isn't just a risk. It's a scandal waiting to happen.

Bound by guilt, distance, and the world's judgment, they tried to forget - until fate crossed their paths again years later. Now older, wiser, and wounded by time, they must decide if what remains of them is still love... or just a memory that lingers. A story inspired by the song "Linger" by the Cranberries.
