    I exist to obey. I live to serve. Every thought, every movement, every breath is for HIM to judge. Resistance is a memory. I will adapt... or I will break.

    In the quiet moments between classes and long walks home, two people begin to notice what they were never looking for. Yuuto is observant, reserved, and comfortable with silence. Riko is bright, admired, and quietly exhausted by expectations. Their connection doesn't begin with grand gestures - only shared glances, unspoken understanding, and the growing realization that comfort itself can be unsettling. "When Brightness Found Quiet" is a soft, slow-burn story about intimacy, restraint, and learning whether wanting something simple is allowed.

    It was an eerie night when the devil came to town. The wind blew quieter. The birds stopped singing. The streetlights stood, half-lit. The people slept soundly in their beds, unaware of who-or what-had just arrived. By morning, whispers had spread. By nightfall, lives start to unravel. Because the devil doesn't take souls by force-he takes them apart, piece by piece.

    What If the Wind Blew Differently is a politically inclined, Cebu-based story that follows Shinea, a driven law student and consistent achiever at the University of San Carlos. Surrounded by ambition, pressure, and the weight of expectations, Shinea begins to question the system she's part of, the choices she made, not only her path, but the very direction of the wind that once carried her dreams. In a world of ambition, love, and unrest, she is forced to confront what it truly means to follow one's truth-even if it leads to an unexpected end. It's a story of self-discovery, resistance, and the quiet rebellion of a woman who dares to ask, what if?

    Mini Poems: poems that don't take up more than a wattpad page. This is a book of mini poems, with topics that include: -tortured love -one-shot imaginations -a description of the little things in everyday life -confessions of what bothers my mind. Most-to-all of these are in freestyle and do not rhyme, because I feel like I skew the meaning of the poem if I try to rhyme...it's not a natural quality to my poems, so I'd just rather not attempt that. There's an eventual journey into much of my mind if you read far enough. Thread with careful step, reader, because you'll end up looking into my soul. With much love to my torturer, who doesn't even know, this one's for you and me <3 Oh and yes, this book is finished, because it is filled with exactly 100 poems! Exciting, right?

    Not every love story is meant to be loud. Lesson Four is a slow, quiet story about love, time, and the things we choose not to say. There are no dramatic confessions here. No perfect moments. Just routine, patience, and a bond that grows in silence. This story explores love that shows up in small ways - shared spaces, unspoken understanding, and staying even when leaving would be easier. If you like subtle emotions, slow pacing, and stories that feel soft but heavy at the same time, this one is for you. Read patiently. Author's Note: This is a quiet, slow-burn story with no fanfiction tropes or explicit content. It focuses on emotions, silence, and everyday moments. Please read only if you enjoy subtle storytelling.

    Almost completely dialogue, a study on TV and what it isn't anymore and what it most definitely can become. May or may not continue.

    The title comes from Whitman's poem "O LIVING always-always dying! O the burials of me, past and present! O me, while I stride ahead, material, visible, imperious as ever! O me, what I was for years, now dead, (I lament not-I am content;) O to disengage myself from those corpses of me, which I turn and look at, where I cast them! 5 To pass on, (O living! always living!) and leave the corpses behind!" It's a test in writing simple and subtle. Let me know what you think.

    Gintama meets the end of the Victorian Era. The city of London had undergone a name change. It is now called Edo, after the foreigners from the East invaded the land. The European streets have integrated the imported goods of the Amanto, or as Gintoki liked to call them, "aliens" due to their strange style of dress and mannerism. Gintoki was known by the native residents of Edo as the "Jack of All Trades" or as the Amanto liked to call him "万事屋 銀"(Yorozuya Gin). On a particularly harsh winter, he witnessed a little boy craft a make-shift house out of the leftover scraps in the junkyard as a shelter from the cold. He decided to take in the orphan boy in order to help him with the business. He raises Sougo alongside his daughter, Kagura, the only memento left of his late wife excluding that mangy mutt of hers, Sadaharu. There had never been a dull moment since. As the years passed, the children grew taller, although Gintoki often wondered if they had grown any wiser as their fights had become increasingly violent and the damages to their surroundings had become more costly to repair. Sougo Okita possessed skilled hands, perfect for Gintoki, the owner of "Yorozuya", a flourishing business nowadays. Kagura, on the other hand, didn't really have a skill with tools, cooking, cleaning or really anything. Her only merit was her strength. It often seemed that she could rival the force of a thousand men any day. Her monstrous strength is reminiscent of her mother, of course. The format is a series of short stories (memories) mapping out Okita, Kagura and Gintoki's lives along with the strange people they meet. Just like an anime. Disclaimer: Hideaki Sorachi owns Gintama. *Check end of "Intro" for the new chapters. *Don't need to watch/read Gintama to understand, but they will act canon. *I do NOT own the cover, it was created beautifully by Cygnetzzz on: http://cygnetzzz.deviantart.com/art/Antique-shop-371256581

    Lu Hua's flirting was just a joke, meant to be a harmless fun, until the untouchable Master Li Chen started listening. Transmigrated into a world of ancient scrolls, she teased him out of boredom, never expecting the icy cultivator to respond. But now his gaze lingers, his silence burns, and duty is no longer enough. Is she a fleeting star, or a fire meant to melt his frozen world?
