By twenty-five, you're supposed to have either a husband or an explanation. I have neither. My name is Abhilasha. It means desire in Sanskrit. This has aged badly. I am twenty-five and not married, which means every achievement I have is now considered a hobby. Something I'm doing until my real life arrives-with a photographer and too many relatives. In my house, age is not a number. It is a reminder. Repeated. Daily. Casually. My mother doesn't ask why I'm not married anymore. She sighs. Like I've forgotten something important at the grocery store. "We just want you to be settled," she says- the way people talk about gas cylinders. This is not a story about marriage. It's about a woman learning that her life does not begin with a wedding.

Not all women who stay are weak. Some stay while learning how to protect themselves. A quiet story about marriage, distance, and dignity.

A love circle? Square? Triangle? Honestly, I stopped trying to figure it out. All Mahi wants is some peace in her life. But peace clearly has something personal against her. She isn't sure what her "type" is, so she keeps rejecting people. But the boys around her? Yeah... they seem very sure of their type. And that type is basically: *Mahi.* She's not the prettiest or the funniest or the smartest. But she's real. She feels things deeply, says what she thinks, and tries to stay true to herself. Maybe that's what makes people fall for her without warning. She believes her life is finally settling down. But this "almost perfect" life is actually the start of her *almost-his-girlfriend* era. She'll run into him. She'll run from him. She'll run with him. But the real question is... Is it the same guy every time? Or three completely different boys? Welcome to *her almost-boyfriends* - a story about confusing feelings, unexpected crushes, and a girl who never meant to become anyone's almost anything. .......................

She stayed. Not because it was easy, but because leaving once felt harder than surviving every day. She was still his wife, still sharing the same house, still praying for the same man- yet slowly becoming invisible. Still Married, Already Alone is a quiet story about loyalty, emotional neglect, and the moment a woman chooses herself without hatred, without drama, without losing her softness. This is not a story about divorce. It's a story about a woman who stopped disappearing just to keep love alive.

A group of seemingly ordinary teenagers discovers they are anything but. Each of them carries extraordinary abilities-powers they never asked for, and secrets they barely understand. Elemental forces long thought buried begin to surface, tied to stolen bloodlines and ancient curses. With them comes a brutal truth: curses are not broken without cost. And sooner or later, someone always pays in blood. Mason Cohen is not like the others. Raised to believe in order, control, and restraint, he knows exactly what chaos looks like-and how to end it. But beneath his calm exterior lies a secret he cannot afford to reveal. Something unstable. Unforgiving. Something that has already crossed a line that can never be uncrossed. His purpose is clear. The curse must end. Aurora Gaultier was never supposed to matter. At first, she's useful-helpful, trusting, and unaware of how deeply entangled she already is. Her abilities seem unusual but harmless, and Mason sees her as a means to an end. She believes in him. Believes he's honest. Believes he's safe. Falling in love was never part of the plan. As their bond deepens, Mason is forced to confront the cost of what he's done, what he's taken, and what breaking the curse might truly require. Every shared moment tightens the knot around his secret, turning his mission into something far more dangerous-and far more personal. Because when the truth finally surfaces, it won't just shatter trust. It will decide who survives. Trust becomes a weapon. Love becomes a gamble. And the line between ally, enemy, and executioner begins to blur. Mason was never supposed to care. But protecting Aurora may cost him everything. And fate, as always, has other plans.

They were childhood friends before the world told them to be careful. Same village. Same memories. Same silence that slowly grew between them. She noticed first. He felt it too-but never moved. This is not a love story about endings. It's about restraint, timing, pride, and the kind of bond that stays even when people don't. Almost Us is for anyone who loved someone they were never allowed to choose.

I didn't think it would matter. I didn't think he would remember me. It was just a few hellos after school, a few casual conversations. But now it's summer, and somehow I can't stop thinking about him. About his texts, his jokes, the way he says my name. I told myself it was nothing. He's just some boy. Some boy I can't stop thinking about.

[WILL BE UNDER REVISION SOON] Maui and Kai grew up sharing a simple, childlike romance born in the quiet corners of their classroom. What started as innocent affection blossomed as they carried those feelings into adulthood. Blinded by love and the comfort of familiarity, they chose to overlook the mistakes and misunderstandings that once lingered in their past. But time has a way of unearthing what was left unresolved. ｡ﾟ•┈꒰ა ♡ ໒꒱┈• ｡ﾟ Maureen Kaye Alonzo Kaiszer Medina Mula sa isang epic na meet-cute, pagiging mortal na magkaaway, mga nakaw na sulyap, at lumipas na sandali, hanggang sa magkamabutihan, at sabihing "in a relationship" na nang walang eksaktong petsa. Tipikal. Tipikal na storya. Tipikal na pag-ibig. Tipikal na romansa. Tipikal? Katulad ng mga pampalasa ni nanay sa kusina-mukha mang iisa, sa katunayan ay iba't-iba ang lasa, hagod, at gayuma nitong dala. Hindi naman siguro magpapakapagod ang pusong pagal sa isang istoryang tipikal? Hindi naman yata maga-aksaya ng panahon ang isip na sisirin ang pinakamalalim na dahilan ng karanasang minsan nang natamasa? At lalo naman sigurong hindi gugustuhin ng kaluluwang humiwalay sa tuwang bitbit ng kwentong maihahalintulad na sa sirang plaka?

They were never taught how to ask for love. So they learned to live without it. One grew up carrying responsibilities that left no room for softness. The other learned early that silence hurts less than disappointment. Both walked through life pretending they were fine-until they met someone who quietly saw through the act. Their connection isn't perfect. It's hesitant, messy, and painfully honest. They don't sweep each other off their feet; they simply show up. In small moments. In difficult conversations. In the quiet understanding only two tired hearts can share. Samarpan is the story of two people who are not extraordinary-just human. Two people who have loved, lost, been hurt, and still choose to try again. It's about healing that doesn't happen overnight, trust that grows slowly, and love that feels like finally exhaling after holding your breath for years. No grand promises. No sudden miracles. Just two imperfect people learning to stay-gently, consistently, wholeheartedly.
