5 parts Ongoing MatureIn a world of silences, two broken souls try to find a promise loud enough to live for. Will they dare to hear it? Love save them. Love destroys them. And still - will they hold on?
Alex Díaz Percy has stopped feeling. He drifts through life like a ghost in a school uniform-numb, sarcastic, sketching unfinished drawings no one sees. Haunted by a past he refuses to confront, he's built his world around distance. Then Leo arrives.
Leo Malik Brown shines too brightly for his own good. Sweet, impulsive, emotionally raw, and teetering on collapse, he hides behind music, laughter, and the hope that love-if real-can keep someone from falling apart. But with a crumbling family and unspoken grief, he's barely hanging on.
Their quiet friendship deepens into something powerful-but also dangerous. One is terrified to feel, the other is already breaking.
When Leo is forced to leave just as their bond solidifies, both must confront what they've been avoiding: for Leo, whether he deserves love; for Alex, whether he's willing to lose again.
Told in lyrical, alternating POVs, Blessed Cursed is a raw exploration of queer identity, emotional repression, and the unbearable intimacy of being truly seen. It's about two fractured souls learning to stay-for each other, and for themselves.

It's not a typical YA story-while it follows young characters, it explores complex emotions, inner struggles, and moral ambiguities in a raw, realistic way. The focus is on the characters' minds and feelings, their fears, desires, and the ways they navigate difficult, often dark situations. It's thoughtful, emotional, and serious-designed to make readers reflect and feel deeply.
