When No One's Watching
He draws constellations on his sneakers and disappears in a crowd like he was never there. The other lights up every room he walks into-too loud, too much, and somehow still lonely. One hides behind silence. The other behind a smile. And when their worlds finally collide, it's not fireworks- It's quiet. Slow. A little bit painful. At a school where people only see what they want to, one boy is being hurt in the moments no one's around. And the only one who sees it? Pretends not to-until he can't anymore. A slow-burn love story about unspoken things, hallway bruises, unshared lunches, and the terrifying softness of being seen.

Yours in Silence
"It was never meant to be more than tea." A healer with too much heart. A prince with too much pride. They were friends first - a quiet bond built over shared cups of tea, soft laughter in an apothecary, and banter that lingered far too long beneath the surface. But some feelings refuse to stay buried. And when war calls them both away, the fragile thread between them begins to fray. Now, on battlefields and in borrowed hours, friendship becomes a shield they can no longer hold - and longing becomes the one thing neither dares to name. Friends to lovers. Slow burn. Banter sharp enough to bleed. Longing written in every silence. You didn't sign up for this much pain. Neither did they.Complete

Cannon fodder is too lazy to act
Kai was inexplicably reborn as a cannon fodder in a game from his previous life. The same appearance but world's script seemed to have given him too many lines and scenes...so he compromised.

What's the big deal? I followed the script to a T, how come I'm being punished.Complete
