"Sometimes I forget what it means to breathe,
is it the act of inhaling a breath 
or is it realizing when it's time to let it go.
Let it go, 
only to have to grasp at another inhale again. 
And then, 
I'm trapped,
in this repetitive cycle  
where breathing wants to become 
an option rather than a need. 
And then,
I'm breathing, 
actually breathing, 
all while feeling like I never took a breath."

Addison Davis, stuck in a world filled with the past,  a present that doesn't let her forget, and a yearning for a future she doesn't understand yet.

THE SOUND OF BREATHING by RiaXytopher
41 parts Ongoing
Synopsis: The Sound of Breathing follows Adira Kale, a young nursing trainee with generalized anxiety disorder, who is assigned to a psychiatric ward for her clinical rotation. There, she meets Elias Verne, a brilliant yet troubled bipolar patient with a history of manic episodes and depression. As Adira becomes increasingly involved in his care, their connection deepens - both of them grappling with their own personal battles. Elias challenges her understanding of what it means to truly care, pushing her to question the fine line between control and compassion. Through their conversations, moments of vulnerability, and shared silences, Adira learns that healing doesn't come from medicine alone. It's a quiet, ongoing act of understanding - a delicate dance between letting go and holding on. This novel is a journey of self-discovery, mental health awareness, and the power of human connection. It explores how our emotional struggles can both isolate and unite us, and how sometimes, the smallest moments of understanding can be the most profound.

***COMPLETED*** Sky's home life was a little piece of hell on earth. She often had to fight past the pain, but she always found a way to become stronger. When Jake came into her life, he changed everything. She knew from the start that theirs would not be a fairytale romance. They came from two different worlds but could Jake find a way to make her part of his? ******** The thought of him going to the other room and leaving me, literally made my body ache, didn't he know how much I needed him? I wasn't going down without a fight. Slipping my t-shirt off of my shoulder, I gave him my best pouty face and pleaded with him, "You wouldn't leave me all alone in this big, cold bed would you?" He shot me a look that I can only describe as a warning, "Fight fair Sky, I am only human!"

In a world where love dares not speak its name, "They Both Died, But Only One Stopped Breathing" tells the tragic and tender story of Eli and Calix-two souls bound by unspoken affection, quiet glances, and memories built between library shelves and fleeting moments of almost. Eli, a quiet writer, never imagined his greatest love story would also be his most painful. When he publishes a book rooted in real memories, it isn't just fiction-it's a memoir wrapped in denial, longing, and grief. As each chapter unfolds, Eli is forced to relive the past: the sweetness of falling for Calix, the heartbreak of miscommunication, the pain of watching him walk away... and the irreversible tragedy that would follow. But their story doesn't end with the final page. Narrated in part by Faye-the girl who once unknowingly stood in the middle of their story-the epilogue unearths more than heartbreak. It reveals the truths left unsaid, the letters unread, and the price of love that came too late. Through her voice, we come to understand the weight of love lost, the silence of those left behind, and the cruel beauty of a love that lingers even after death. This is not just a love story. This is a confession. A legacy. A reminder that some stories live on-even when their authors do not.
