Love in the Least Likely Place
Luna Mireille never expected her life to change. Not in a city where every day felt the same. Not in a house barely big enough for two. Luna's used to hiding-her feelings, her dreams, her voice. Until Ha-Joon arrives. He's from Seoul. He's got too many walls and too many invisible chains. He's also the first person to see Luna, and she's the first person he's ever fallen in love with. They both were the type to stay hidden, until they found each other-where hiding doesn't feel so easy anymore. But falling in love was never part of the plan. Not when Ha-Joon's mother was so full of other intentions. Not when his future title threatens to destroy him and Luna's fragile peace. And definitely not when love-true love-starts asking both of them to choose between comfort and courage. This is a story about healing, rebellion, and the kind of love that doesn't knock first. It breaks in.Completa

You Talk Too Much
Nicolas didn't want friends. Didn't want attention. Definitely didn't want her. But then Lina sat next to him. Every. Single. Day. She talked through the awkward silences, laughed at her own jokes, and asked questions he never answered. She was chaos in sneakers and bubblegum lip gloss - and he wanted nothing to do with her. ...Until he did. Because somehow, her noise started drowning out the thoughts he didn't know how to escape. And her voice became the only thing that made the silence bearable. This isn't a love story. Not at first. This is a story about a boy who lost his spark... And the girl who wouldn't let him disappear quietly. ✅ Nicolas ✅ Lina ✅ "You Talk Too Much" ✅ High school setting ✅ Healing + chaos + slow-burn (Btw I forgot to add that there will be no smut of any kind in this story. Maybe an innocent kiss or something but nothing else)

Place Your Bets
In a city wired with neon veins and heartbeat basslines, where love is currency and addiction is law, lives Jax Valen-known to the underground as The Jester. He's a cyberpunk performer with a glittering smile and a death wish heart, spinning through clubs, casinos, and the ruins of his own sanity. High on heartbreak and dopamine, Jax has only one rule: bet it all or don't play at all. Haunted by the ghost of a toxic love he can't quit, he chases obsession like a drug-writing poetry in blood, pulling magic from misery, and laughing through every loss like it's part of the act. But when he crosses paths with someone darker, colder, and even more dangerous than the demons he dances with, Jax is forced to ask the one question he's never dared to voice: Is this still love, or is it just a beautiful form of destruction? In a world of glitching gods, velvet leashes, and rigged games, Place Your Bets is a neon-drenched, tragic glam noir-where romance is deadly, beauty is broken, and the only thing more dangerous than losing is falling in love again.Completa

The Last Petal of Winter
