Sanisidro Stories

🌿 Beneath the Mango Trees by Tauries When Miguel returns to San Isidro, a sleepy town in the Philippines, he carries more than just his suitcase, he carries the weight of a career that broke him and a loneliness he can no longer outrun. He expects silence, maybe even isolation. What he doesn't expect is Rafael the neighbour who knows the land like the back of his hand, steady as the tide and just as impossible to ignore. From storm-soaked nights to barrio fiestas, from laughter over pan de sal to confessions whispered at the shoreline, Miguel begins to rediscover what it means to belong. But with whispers from neighbours and an old life calling him back to Manila, he must face a choice: return to the world that once defined him, or stay and grow roots beneath the mango trees. A slow-burn BL story about healing, finding home, and falling in love when you least expect it. 🌙✨
