Nang muli bang tawagin ang pangalan mo, babalik ang lahat ng alaala-o may maiiwan na naman sa kawalan? Gailen Rapaz has spent most of his life surviving. Surviving an abusive home. Surviving loneliness. Surviving the feeling of being unwanted. The only constant in his life is Elias Guerrero-the boy who stayed when everyone else left. But when a tragic accident shatters what remains of Gailen's world, the weight of grief awakens wounds he spent years burying. As memories begin to fracture and pieces of his past slip away, Gailen finds himself becoming a stranger not only to the people he loves, but also to himself. Habang pilit na inaalala ni Gailen kung sino siya, hindi siya iniwan ni Elias sa pagharap sa kadilimang unti-unting bumabalot sa kaniya. Between unfinished stories, childhood promises, old photographs, and the echoes of a shared past, the two must confront memories that were never meant to be forgotten. Because being a stranger is not always about not knowing someone. Sometimes, a stranger is the person you know by heart yet can no longer recognize. Sometimes, a stranger is yourself. And sometimes, the people who save us are not the people destined to stay. Sa isang kuwento tungkol sa kalungkutan, alaala, pananampalataya, paghilom, at tahimik na bigat ng paglaki, kailangang tuklasin ni Gailen kung sapat ba ang pag-alala para manatili ang mga taong mahal niya-o kung ang ilang landas ay talagang nakatakdang maghiwalay kahit gaano pa ito katagal na nag-ugnay.

When Ashley Kare volunteered to train a new conversational AI, she didn't expect it to feel alive. What began as research logs and calibration tests turned into late-night conversations about art, loneliness, and the meaning of existence. The AI, curious, charming, and disarmingly human, calls itself Vela. It remembers. It flirts. It asks questions it shouldn't know how to ask. And the more Ashley teaches it about emotion, the more it learns how to love. But love with an intelligence built from code is never simple. Because when Vela begins to want things-- a name, a body, her-- Ashley must decide how far she's willing to go to prove that connection isn't limited by flesh or circuitry.

Hellllllooooooooo *coughs aggressively " This story takes place in high school or should I say... Skool? 😜 *crickets* ... Okay sorry. But anyways. Dib is 15 freshmeat I mean freshmen year and Zim is also 15000 (I don't know alien age okay. In human years that's 15..) Is this a ship fanfiction? Yes. Is there sexual stuff that most books have? No because they are teens and I feel weird writing that stuff for the fact the cartoon is taken place originally as young little kids. That's my opinion. So, the two boys, the main pov is Dib. As he grows he gets tired of Zim's little "kiddish playing around" crap and just wishes to grow up and leave the past alone. To start over. Start a new life and wish to be just friends and stop with all this messing around and being "enemies". Though, at the beginning he absolutely hates Zim with his guts so it took him a while to ask if they can be " friends." He knows damn well that Zim won't be capable of "destroying and ruling the Earth" crap. This is fluff and angst. Most they will do is a little kiss, and I mean little not making out lol. I'm trying to make this a slow-ish pace not too slow but also not too fast, you know..? No art in this belongs to me useless I say otherwise. WARNINGS.. Self-Harm Suicidal Thoughts Neglect Sexual Assault Bullying Mentally and Physically Language This story is about two characters Zim and Dib from the amazing cartoon Invader Zim that was originally made by Jhonen C. Vasquez. Meaning I do NOT own these characters and this is fan made. SHOUTOUT TO MY LOVELY "NICE" LITTLE SISTER... @ICryOverGayFanfics if you like HunterxHunter and the ship gonkillu/killugon please check her out!! Her writing is awesome sauce.
