    Petra Holt has spent two years rebuilding herself into a woman with boundaries, routines, good boots, and a nervous system that only occasionally tries to flee the premises. Then Viktor Falk walks into her first meeting. Viktor: former colleague, current professional hazard, and the man Petra has mentally filed under Do Not Open Unless Supervised By A Therapist. Unfortunately, he is also her new research lead. His desk is in her sightline. His conclusions are annoyingly good. His face has, offensively, improved. And he keeps acting happy she's there, which is both suspicious and bad for office productivity. Petra's plan is simple: trust the raw notes, document everything, never be alone with his theories, and absolutely do not notice his shoulders. A sharp workplace romcom about old damage, fresh starts, found family, creative agency chaos, and the terrible inconvenience of a man sitting across the table like he isn't the reason you needed a two-year hiatus.

    She woke up in an unfamiliar place with no memory of how she got there. No name and no past to remember. Just an endless sunset, quiet streets, and a place called The Waiting. What annoyed her the most wasn't waking up in an unfamiliar place. It was the fact that the first person she met greeted her with.. "Congratulations. You're dead." But after one strange proof that she's dead, she found herself ninety-nine percent convinced he was right. The remaining one percent is busy arguing with Kael. A sarcastic ghost who's somehow even more confusing than the strange place called The Waiting. Unfortunately for both of them, they're stuck together and spend their days chasing memories, crossing paths with the living and trying to answer one impossible question. If this isn't the end.. Then where are they supposed to go? ⋆.˚⭒⋆.˚ All Rights Reserved © 2026 A novel by Gweyss

    I hadn't seen Luca Bennett in seven years, but I recognized his silence immediately. We used to be everything to each other-two kids who thought growing up meant staying together. Then one day, he left... and we stopped being us. Now I'm a fashion stylist in New York, building a name for myself in a world that watches everything I do. I'm polished. Untouchable. Loved by some, envied by others. And him? Luca Bennett is no longer the boy I knew. He's a ruthless entrepreneur, a name whispered in boardrooms and fashion headlines. Cold. Controlled. Impossible to read. We were supposed to be strangers. Instead, I was assigned to style his campaign. Now we're forced into each other's world again-late nights, private fittings, forced smiles for cameras that don't know the history between us. But the problem isn't that we hate each other. It's that we don't. And some things never really stay in the past... no matter how badly you want them to.

    THREADS OF DESTINY "Some connections are written in the stars; others are coded into reality." Alaya Matthew is a whirlwind. With her waist-length hair, a ring that holds her world together, and a personality that could light up the entire campus, she's ready to take her first year of college by storm. She doesn't have time for distractions-especially not quiet, brooding seniors. Steve Williams is the anchor. A third-year senior who lives by the ticking of his analog watch and the logic of his code. He's spent his college life in the safety of the library's silence, carefully avoiding the chaos of the "fresher fever." But when a bold freshman and a nerdy-cool senior lock eyes over a boring library lecture, they think it's just a momentary glitch in their systems. They couldn't be more wrong. In the middle of college rivalries, late-night canteen runs, and a group of friends that keep things loud, a thread is being spun between them. A thread that doesn't end when the final bell rings or the graduation caps are thrown. This isn't just a college romance. This is the beginning of a lifetime. Because while their paths start here, destiny has much bigger plans for where they'll cross again. Their journey starts in the chaos... but where will it lead when the world pulls them apart? #CollegeRomance #SlowBurn #OppositesAttract #Destiny #FirstLove #NewAdult #Fate #IndianAuthors #SunshineVsStoic #Coding #CampusLife #ThreadsOfDestiny

    The past is something that's supposed to be forgotten. Or in other words, it's not meant to be held onto. Sorrel tried to put her past behind her and has built a life that brings back some normalcy. But grief has a way of sneaking up, making the normal feel...wrong. It's been nearly nine years since her childhood best friend's death. Something she pushes down deep in her heart so it doesn't hold her back. Then she see him again. Aziel brings all those memories she tried to hide flooding back. It doesn't help he has grown and changed in ways she never expected. Sorrel realizes some wounds never heal. They don't hide forever. Instead they come back in ways you'd never suspect. .-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. Work in progress :) I've been working on this story for literal years. I've rewritten it more times than I can count. It's not award winning writing (duh). But it's stupid idea that I keep coming back too and I guess I want to share it with y'all. Anyhoo enjoy or don't. Either way thank you for at least taking the time to read this! Xoxo, Mocha ;)

    It wasn't a dream. Not quite. But it wasn't real either, not in the way pain usually is. He was standing across the street, under a flickering lamp, hair damp from the rain. His hands were in his pockets, head tilted slightly, like he'd been waiting. Like he always waited. For her. Mahveen didn't move. Didn't breathe. Even in this half-made memory, she knew what came next. The look. The ache. The silence. That almost-smile of his that never reached his eyes. "You came," she whispered, though no sound left her mouth. Zayyan blinked. Once. Twice. He opened his mouth, but no words came. They never did. The streetlight dimmed. His figure blurred. And just like that - he was gone. Again. She woke up, gasping quietly, hand clutching the bracelet on her wrist like it could hold him in place. It didn't. He was always just out of reach. That's the thing about reveries. They feel like home until you open your eyes.

    "Tell me the truth, John... If I had told you I loved you back then... would you have stayed?" I should've told him. That I loved him. That I stayed up rereading our chats like they were scripture. That I saved his missed calls, even when I swore I was over him. But I didn't. And maybe that's why he left without saying goodbye. We were never in a relationship. But somehow, I remember him more deeply than the ones I was with. I used to think he ruined me - until I realized... he built a version of me I didn't recognize anymore. Now I'm learning how to let go of someone I was never holding in the first place. This is not a love story. This is the afterglow - what remains when love doesn't stay... but never really leaves.

    Originally inspired by the composition "Iridescence" by Hildur Guðnadóttir. Imagine yourself waking up from a deep sleep. Imagine the feeling of not being in control, of trying to collect your thoughts. You know where you are, yet you are lost at the same time. Highly recommend listening to aforementioned track while reading.

    When Ellie dies at the ripe old age of 16, she meets a bunch of ghosts determined to find not only their unfinished business, but also the truth about the disappearances of their friends and family. Very much a work in progress, the first version of this manuscript, so we'll see how this goes. Also, I don't do physics, so don't ask me how the entirety of chapter 1 works. It's working in my head and that's what matters.

    Some connections don't end because they were meant to last. They end because they were never meant to be defined in the first place. Two people once had something that existed quietly between moments-never fully spoken, never fully claimed, but deeply felt in ways neither of them could ignore. And when life eventually pulled them apart, they did what people are supposed to do. They moved forward. They built their own lives. Their own choices. Their own versions of happiness-some shared with other people, some completely separate from each other. From the outside, it looked like everything had ended the way it should. But not everything that ends disappears. Years pass, and life continues to shape them into who they are supposed to become. They achieve the plans they set, find stability in different places, and live lives that do not revolve around each other anymore. And yet, sometimes, life still puts them in the same room. Same space. Same air. Same reality. No confession follows. No reopening of old stories. No attempt to return to what once was. Because they both already know something that cannot be undone: There is something that exists between them. Not a memory. Not a choice. Not a regret they need to fix. Just something unspoken that neither time nor distance was ever able to erase. And the strange part is not that it still exists. It is that they both know it exists... and choose not to name it. Because naming it would make it real in a way they are not willing to handle. So instead, it stays there. Quiet. Unclaimed. Unfinished. Something only the two of them will ever understand. And they leave it exactly where it is. Not because it is gone. But because it is the only thing that ever made sense without needing to be anything more.
