    Some nights become stories. Others become poems. Letters From Luna is a collection of journal entries, prose, poetry, and fragments written for the people we never stopped loving, the versions of ourselves we left behind, and the quiet hours when the moon is the only one listening. Not every letter is meant to be sent.

    Thirteen-year-old Lily Chen is a certified academic prodigy, possessing a mind that effortlessly untangles complex spatial geometry and advanced calculus. But outside the sterile laboratories of St. Jude Academy, the real world is a blinding, chaotic storm of sensory overload that her fragile nervous system simply cannot handle. Fresh off a healing, restorative trip to the coast, Lily's parents, Mei and David, have established a strict "buffer week" to keep her stabilized before the high-octane pressure of school starts again. Today's mission? A normal, routine family shopping trip. But for Lily, "normal" looks entirely different. To navigate the roaring crowds, flashing fluorescent mall lights, and overwhelming environmental triggers, Lily must completely surrender her autonomy to the unbreakable public safety bubble engineered by her parents. Heavily diapered, safely insulated beneath the deep canvas canopy of her specialized sensory stroller, and grounded by the rhythmic click of her pink pacifier, Lily steps into the public eye. Discover a tender, slice-of-life story of fierce parental devotion and deep vulnerability, where a brilliant young mind finds its ultimate freedom by being allowed to be completely small, perfectly protected, and beautifully babied.

    «Mostrati per come sei, con i tuoi difetti, le tue fragilità e tutto il tuo rumore. Chi ti ama veramente, amerà anche le tue ombre.» - Virginia Woolf Per sopravvivere all'ultimo anno del Liceo Socio-Psico-Pedagogico, Ilya ha una sola regola: mimetizzarsi. Nessuno deve scavare dietro la sua risata troppo rumorosa o l'ansia che le fa stringere la collana fino a lasciarle il segno sulle dita. Il passato le ha insegnato che farsi sentire significa prestare il fianco alle frecciatine della gente. Soprattutto a quelle di Jade. Brillante, competitiva e spietata, Jade è la sua nemesi storica. Sa esattamente come provocarla per farle perdere il controllo, ma dietro quegli sguardi taglienti si nasconde un'attrazione latente e pericolosa, un'elettricità che rischia di mandare in pezzi tutte le difese di Ilya. Poi c'è James. Freddo, metodico, silenzioso. Un ragazzo che sembra studiare le relazioni umane solo sui libri di psicologia, senza volerne fare parte davvero. Uno che conta i secondi a ritmo con le dita pur di mantenere il controllo sul proprio mondo e che non tollera chiunque provi a destabilizzare Ilya. Quando il professor Bennett li assegna come partner per il tirocinio e la tesina di Maturità, Ilya si ritroverà divisa tra due fuochi: la vicinanza solida e protettiva di James, l'unico capace di sentire i suoi pensieri e diventare il suo posto sicuro, e le provocazioni magnetiche di Jade, pronte a far esplodere ogni sua certezza. Una storia di crescita, vulnerabilità e del coraggio di scoprirsi in tutti i propri volumi.

    Growing up is SO weird. One day you're worried about homework. The next, you're questioning friendships, love, the future, your parents, university, and somehow the meaning of life... all before dinner. This book isn't about having everything figured out. It's about everything I'm still trying to unlearn before I turn eighteen. Some chapters end with answers. Most don't. But maybe that's okay. Maybe growing up isn't about finding certainty. Maybe it's about learning to live with the questions. And if you've ever felt like nobody understands what it's like to be in this strange in-between of becoming who you are... Then maybe this book found you at the right time.

    He didn't remember her. Not her face. Not her voice. Not the way his name used to sound when she said it like it mattered. But Mia Parker remembered everything. Not just what happened- but what it felt like when it did. She didn't come back for closure. Not for forgiveness. And definitely not for something as simple as love. She came back for something far more dangerous. To make him remember. Zack Turner doesn't chase. He never has to. People move for him. Space opens for him. And nothing ever stays long enough to matter. Until her. There's something wrong about the way Mia looks at him. Not scared. Not impressed. Not even surprised. Like she's waiting. Like she already knows how this ends. And every time she says his name- it doesn't sound new. It sounds unfinished. Like something was left behind. Like something was taken. Memories that don't exist. Feelings that shouldn't be there. A past he can't reach- and she refuses to let go. She didn't come back to remind him. She came back to force it. Even if it breaks him. Even if it breaks her. And this time- he won't get to forget.

    This story is inspired by Rent a girlfriend an anime that I love and cherish so much. But it is all original the only concept I took is the rental. I hope you enjoy it and if you did enjoy it you can check out my canon fanfiction of Rent-A-Girlfriend (the hour between us) For this story, here's a quick summary. Twenty-one days before a meteor strikes Earth, Edith Laurent becomes the most expensive girlfriend alive. She just doesn't know it yet. A top-ranked companion on an app that sells curated romance, Edith has spent years perfecting the art of being wanted incorrectly. Her smile is calibrated. Her warmth is professional. Her real name is buried so deep she barely remembers the sound of it. When the sky announces the end of the world, her booking requests skyrocket - and one offer changes everything. Dylan Vale is too beautiful, too wealthy, and too lonely to make sense. The heir to a global empire, he asks for her remaining time through a contract generous enough to erase her family's debt and protect her mother even if the world ends. He also writes in an unconditional exit clause. She can leave at any moment. The payment remains guaranteed. She never signs. Instead, she lets him take her across the world. It stars with A private yacht where the crew watches Casablanca and remembers their dead. Then she agrees for one day at a time. Every day, Dylan learns something money cannot buy. Every day, Edith reclaims a piece of herself she thought she'd sold. But the meteor is coming. And the one thing Dylan wants most - her real name, spoken freely - is the one door she must open herself. A sweeping, intimate story about the difference between being purchased and being chosen, the courage of wanting something while there is still time, and two people who discover that love, when it's real, arrives without a contract.

    "Where the Light Lands" is a gentle, emotionally rich contemporary love story told through alternating perspectives of Lyra and Aren - two quiet souls who find each other through fleeting glances, shared silences, and the kind of moments that don't demand attention but linger deeply. Set in cozy cafés, under soft rain, and within dog-eared pages of notebooks, it explores connection, vulnerability, memory, grief, creativity, and the slow burn of falling into something real. It's a story not about grand gestures but about the quiet art of staying.

    Some nights don't leave bruises you can see. They leave unanswered questions, aching hearts, and memories that replay long after the house falls silent. "July 3rd" is a deeply personal piece about witnessing a family fall apart in real time, loving someone who continues to hurt you, and discovering that some of the deepest heartbreak doesn't come from losing a lover-it comes from grieving the relationship you wish you had with the people who were supposed to protect you. This isn't a story about hatred. It's about surviving. It's about loving from a distance. It's about carrying hope through heartbreak. If you've ever mourned someone who's still alive, this poem is for you. Some wounds don't bleed. They echo.

    Elias Carter has spent his life measuring people. Armed with a leather-bound notebook and an obsession with patterns, he enters Northwood College believing every emotion can be categorized, every reaction predicted, and every person reduced to a set of variables. Observation keeps him safe. Numbers keep him distant. Then he meets Maya Chen. Maya doesn't fit his equations. Her silences are too heavy, her emotions too unpredictable, and her presence begins to fracture the carefully built system Elias has spent years hiding inside. As friendships deepen and the pressures of college life expose the unseen battles around him, Elias is forced to confront something he has avoided for years: his own pain. In a world of anxiety, grief, and unspoken struggles, Elias must learn that not everything can be measured-and some of the most important things in life can only be felt. A story about vulnerability, mental health, friendship, healing, and discovering who you are when you finally stop hiding behind the numbers.

    This free verse poem explores the frustration of feeling emotions deeply while struggling to express them aloud. Through imagery of swallowed words, silence, and physical tension, the speaker describes the isolation that comes from being unable to communicate vulnerability-even with someone they love and trust. As the poem progresses, it shifts from internal conflict to the strain this silence places on a relationship. The speaker recognizes their partner's patience and willingness to listen, yet remains trapped by instinctive emotional walls they do not know how to lower. The poem ultimately becomes both a confession and an apology, acknowledging the pain caused by emotional withdrawal while expressing a desire to heal and become more open. Themes of vulnerability, anxiety, fear of emotional exposure, love, guilt, and healing run throughout the piece, giving it an intimate and deeply personal tone.
