Angelo Reyes writes out all his gay romance fantasies, especially on the not-so-innocent side, for the online world to see. No sad endings allowed! It's only inevitable that the crushing pressure of his audience leads him to writer's block.

Scripted Hearts (BounPrem FF)
Some loves are written in stars. Others... in scripts. When superstar actor Boun signs on to a dreamy new romance film, he expects headlines, fan frenzy, and maybe a few awards - not the cold stare of the film's mysterious screenwriter, Prem Warut. Prem is brilliant, reclusive, and determined to keep his heart locked behind dialogue and deadlines. Once betrayed by a celebrity lover, he's built walls no actor could possibly climb. But Boun isn't just any actor. With quiet gestures, soft smiles, and the kind of charm that slips between the lines, Boun starts to rewrite Prem's story - scene by scene, glance by glance. Just when the sparks turn to something deeper, Prem's past crashes back into frame - his ex, now reformed and desperate for another chance. As tensions erupt and secrets unravel on the red carpet, Boun makes a bold move that could cost him everything... including Prem. And then comes the twist: a fake romance. A PR scandal. A broken trust. Now, Prem must decide whether he's ready to believe in a love that wasn't part of the script - and Boun must prove that what they had wasn't just acting. Because the cameras may stop rolling... ...but their story isn't over yet. Will love survive the final cut? Or was it all just another performance?Complete

ONLY A MAYBE, NEVER A YES
You're probably dying to know how this mess wraps up. Like, do they get that big, rainy, dramatic make-out? Does heartbreak suddenly get a plot twist that makes all the pain look artsy and necessary? Nope. Sorry, not that movie. This story's for the ones who get stuck in the "almost." The ones who text at 2 a.m. and call it friendship, even when it's way messier than that. It's all the feelings you never say out loud, and the pretending that helps you get through the day. Love in this story isn't fireworks. It's a quiet ache that sits with you, polite and relentless. Yeah, there's kissing. There's all that skin-on-skin, tangled-up-in-the-gray-area stuff. But here's the kicker: someone always leaves. Someone always waits around, hoping for a miracle that never RSVPs. So, before you dive in, ask yourself-ever loved someone who was never really yours? If not, lucky you. But if you have... pull up a chair. This one's for you.
F***in' Arizona
How bad could it be to enlist your female best friend into helping you lie to your Christian family about your new relationship with your male best friend and about your newfound sexuality? Not that bad, right? Right??? --------- Nova Queen and Arizona "Ari" Matthews weren't always close in high school, but after an intense and serious conversation in the library one day, the two become the best of friends until they go their separate ways their freshman year of college. Now in their mid 20s and freshly out of grad school, they are reunited in the park of their hometown where Ari asks a huge favor of Nova that she later wishes she had refused. But in the end, will she really wish she had refused? *FA spans a timeline from 2010-2020 to help the reader see how the relationships were built between characters in a partial series of flashbacks. It also helps the reader to really see into the minds of Arizona and Nova as they age, and the effect different life events have on them. It's a bit of a slower build and the plot is mostly seen a little later in the book, but I promise it's worth it. 🙂 *I do not own any of the rights to the music nor the pictures. *Rated M for language, sexual content, destructive behaviors, suicide, and dialogue that may be triggering for some readers. *These characters may do or say things that you don't agree or may get upset with, please remember YOU ARE NOT THESE PEOPLE, and their lives are a work of fiction and my imagination.

I wished for a Boyfriend not a Girlfriend (GxG, Lesbian) °editing°
I was awakened by a buzz, but I don't want to get up, instead I lay still on my bed and about to dream again when I heard a THUD, I flinched at the sound. It's Saturday so I'm not expecting anyone at this early in the morning. I'm not a morning person, I am now annoyed to whoever it is. "Coming!" I yelled and started walking which took me sometime because I literally took my time, don't blame me I'm still sleepy, I opened the door to see a very beautiful woman, she has long wavy hair, thick eyelashes and pink pout lips and lastly... a body to die for. I frowned when I realized a high-school student? I can say because she's wearing a uniform. What is a beautiful high-school girl doing here knocking at my door? I asked mentally. I was about to ask her when she suddenly slipped inside my condo and sit on the couch cozily, I crossed my arms and face her still frowning. "Miss what are you doing here? What do you need?" I asked her curiously. She looked at me and smiled, a smile that can make men drool, but I'm not because I'm still annoyed. "I am your girlfriend" she said sweetly, my eyes widened in shock, I know I'm drunk last night but I don't remember having a girlfriend. I was about to say something when she stood up and face me leaning so much closer that were inches apart. "You wished for me, last night on the internet" oh crap! Now I remember! I was browsing the net when a certain ad captures my attention. "But I wished for a BOYFRIEND! Not a Girlfriend!!?" How do you handle a situation where there's NO REFUND and NO EXCHANGE?

Connections: Stories
From a simple conversation happening between two Filipina astronauts, to an individual confessing his true feelings to the person he loves, to a failed missing person's investigation and the lover searching for his whereabouts in the Philippines, to a story about the woeful memories surrounding a rabbit plushie in the United Kingdom; a conversation happening between people at night with a campfire, about spirits and passion, in Norway; to a dying animal's thoughts about the person that saved it, to the letters given to the person that matters to one's life, to a man trapped in a cursed town and more. These 30 stories compiled in the months of August 2023 - February 2024, made in handwritten yellow pad papers and shared to the world for the first time shows that there are ways we find to connect with others through the stories we tell to one another. Stories dealing with the loss of a loved one, the horrors of reality, about the challenges faced in life, a longing for the person we loved, the laughter shared in-between, the hopes we treasure for tomorrow and beyond and of the little interactions that happen in life. It is through the attachments, love, support, consistency, determination and dreams do we find the will to push through and accomplish what needs to be done that is set out for us to tackle. Goals and art; sacrifices made and understood; and the belief that chasing the dream is all worth it and that it helps us connect and inspire us to do what matters the most.
