The Space We Leave Behind {Before The Storm} {COMPLETED} by Midnightmoonxx

"Some things fade. Some things stay. And some things... we leave behind without even meaning to." Alec Donovan grew up mastering the art of vanishing - whether through a well-timed glance or a carefully crafted lie. That is, until one night, when the world around him fractured and a strange, unpredictable power emerged: invisibility. It was a gift, or perhaps a curse, that allowed him to disappear in a way no one else could understand. In a town like Arcadia Bay, where everything felt on the edge of collapse, vanishing became a way to survive. Then Chloe Price crashed into his life - a whirlwind of fire and rebellion, pulling Alec out of his hidden existence. And Rachel Amber, with her grand ambitions and boundless dreams, coaxed him into a world too big for the small town he'd always known. In their presence, Alec discovered something he hadn't thought he'd ever deserve: a reason to be seen. As time passes, Alec's path weaves in and out of moments of loss, longing, and the echoes of those he's tried to forget. From the quiet fires of the past to the unraveling truths that shape his future, Alec's story mirrors the journeys of those who came before him and the ones he never expected to cross paths with. But when the past comes rushing back, forcing Alec to face the ghosts he's long evaded, the power he's tried to ignore, and the truth he can no longer outrun, he realizes something: sometimes, it isn't disappearing that's the hardest part. It's learning to stay. In a world where memories can shift like sand, and reality itself is fragile enough to shatter with a breath, The Space We Leave Behind is a tale of love, loss, hidden scars, and the people who leave imprints on our souls - even when we can no longer see them.

Wanting You - EDITING. by melissalynn88

A woman beside him wearing a ring. But the bigger problem was that Alex wasn't the only one wanting him. Blake wanted her just as much and was going to do everything he could to have her. But as always, all good things must come to an end. Leaving someone heartbroken, shattered and alone.

Bruiseprint by Cece_imagines

A story of love, pain, and second chances. In a world where friendships crumble and kisses taste of betrayal, some wounds cut deeper than skin. A lover's touch can heal-or destroy. Behind every smile hides a secret. Behind every promise, a lie. And in the ashes of loss and sabotage, hearts still ache for the kind of love that survives it all. Different, yet the same-bound by the bruises and scars of their choices, their pasts, their mistakes. Some wounds break, some redeem... but in the end, love always leaves its mark. *** ⚠️ Disclaimer: Sensitive Content This story explores themes of sexual abuse, human trafficking, grooming, emotional trauma, domestic violence, and morally complex relationships.

They stay with us like prints. Our bruises tell stories. Pain leaves a print, but so does healing. This is the imprint of a love that changed them both. Thank you for reading ❤️♾️

Love Has No Color (Book 2) by Beccalove_16

Violet is in her final year of college, working through the process of who she's becoming and the fears that still whisper she's not enough. With school, an impending graduation, and an unexpected internship and job offer in New York stretching her in ways she didn't anticipate, she's discovering that walking in purpose isn't always glamorous. Through the last bit of school, she uses every ounce of her being to preserve the uniqueness of her creative gift. In her mind, the only way to make sure she's the best she can be is to be hard on herself. But as she learns, she sees that maturing in many contexts is slow, steady, and refining. There's beauty in the process, even if it first seems ugly. Alex, on the other hand, is stepping into his calling, finally launching the mentorship organization he's dreamed of. It's something good. Something necessary that provides hope and healing to him and those he wants to help. But just as things begin to come together, his past resurfaces. His estranged and abusive father returns, threatening everything Alex has been working to build. Suddenly, he's caught between honoring what he's built and confronting a pain he thought he'd buried. In the midst of it all, their relationship deepens. And in that new relationship commitment-one that demands more than just their feelings-they're thrown into the realm of learning what it really means to love when it's impossible to, to encourage honesty when it's easier to hide, and to fight for and with each other when the world just wants them to be pulled apart. The question is: can they withstand the storm?
