[The Jose Memorial Awards for Literature WINNER]

Set in the late '80s, Agnes Delgado is an asocial teenager burdened by a rare neurological disorder that robs her of the ability to cry, and a genetic condition that leaves her numb to touch. Distant. Unreachable. Until one unlikely encounter changes everything.

She meets Aquilino Ruiz, her complete opposite, a boy overflowing with warmth and charm, yet quietly battling a rare illness that is slowly turning him into stone. 

No, this isn't a myth retold.
It's a classic tale of two extraordinary teenagers who, in the end, were never meant to be monsters.
Just... Victims of Medusa.

Writing progress: July 4, 2021 - August 19, 2021

[FINISHED] Categories : Boys' Love • Contemporary Romance • LGBTQ+ Kannagi Lacanlali, or Kann, suffers daily from social anxiety. Siya na ang nakatoka bilang caretaker sa mansyon ng mga Gulmatico, na nasa ibang bansa, buhat nang ma-admit ang tita niya sa ospital. Pero nang dumating ang stepson ng may-ari ng mansyon na si Clyvedon Escarchia, a.k.a. Clyve, a skater boy, everything turns upside down. He is Kann's "hate at first meet." To make matters worse, they become classmates and are always at each other's throats. Desperate to pay the hospital bills for his aunt, Kann borrows money from the infamous guy in Merryfield High, Beast Mond. Pero sa oras ng singilan, wala siyang pambayad kaya hinabol siya nito hanggang sa makarating siya sa Night Bazaar sa Morlon Street. For a socially anxious person like him, seeing the crowd results in uncomfortable physical symptoms: a racing heartbeat, an upset stomach, and sweating. Rubbing salt into the wound, the rain starts falling; people are rushing to the nearby tents, leaving him alone. Before Kann reaches rock bottom, Clyve shows up, holding an umbrella--saving the lit candle from the pouring rain. 🖇️ First Published: January 5, 2023 🖇️ Completed Date: July 20, 2023 🖇️ Word Count: 45,000 - 50,000 Content warning: This story explores themes of anxiety, toxic masculinity, mentions of death, strong language, and alcohol use. 🏅 Best in Teen Fiction, Humor, and Romance (TFHR) Category in The WritersPH Awards 2024 🌟 Featured on WattpadRomancePH's "Love Bound" Reading List (January 2025)

(Contains mature content; read at your own risk) One would surely want to live a peaceful and joyful life. Waking up every day within your zone is enough. Angeles Poyi Isidro, a senior high school student, woke up in the most cliché and unforeseen way she's ever been. Toned muscles. God-like feature (looking at him beside her seems too unfair). Tousled hair. Celebrity. Sex. Shocking truth. Sudden responsibility. Jackson Stiles Drew Peterson is an entire havoc she's let in her life. People envy her, for she's lucky to meet him as they say; but is it really a fortunate event to wake up on the same bed with him? Yet, all the same, she realized that life isn't all about comfort but risk, confusion, bewilderment, and love.
