Lena had always been taught that love was something beautiful, something to cherish. But for her, love had come to feel like something she could never hold onto.
Her father, the man who was supposed to show her what it meant to be loved unconditionally, had disappeared from her life when she was just a child. No goodbyes. No explanations. One day, he was there, and the next, he was gone, leaving her with a hollow space in her heart that she didn't know how to fill.
Years later, the echoes of that abandonment still haunted her. She'd learned to build walls around herself-tall, impenetrable walls. Her mind told her that love was dangerous, fragile, and fleeting, and her heart clung to that belief as if it were the only way to survive. Every time someone tried to get close, to care for her, she flinched. The fear of being hurt, of being left behind again, was far greater than any longing for connection.
But love is relentless. It doesn't stop knocking on your door just because you've locked it. And as Lena steps into adulthood, into a world that seems to promise affection and companionship, she's faced with a choice: hide forever, or risk everything for the chance to love and be loved.
This is the story of Lena's journey-of a girl who had been abandoned, but who, with every step, learns that love isn't something to fear. It's something to embrace. If only she can find the courage to let it in.

Never Mine, Nevermind. (LenaMiu / MiuLena) [gxg] [wlw]
Loving Lena meant daring to touch a wound that never healed. Miu never thought a single invitation from her best friend, Bam, could change everything. One dinner. One bump. One glimpse of someone she shouldn't want, yet can't look away from. Lena was kind in the way that made people feel safe. It was easy to lean closer, easier still to fall. Miu told herself it was admiration, but every heartbeat said otherwise. Yet loving someone who carried the weight of the past was never simple. Warmth could turn fragile, smiles could tremble at the edge of breaking. When Lena's past returns to claim her, Miu learns that first love doesn't just ache, it shatters. And in the wreckage, she has to choose: to let go... or to be consumed.Complete

Midnight Rewinds
I never believed in perfect starts. I wasn't the guy who lit up a room or made girls turn their heads. But then she walked in-first day of senior year-and everything changed. Her name was Lena. Beautiful, sharp, untouchable. The kind of girl you admire from a distance and never think will notice you. And for a while, she didn't. But then something shifted. I asked for her Instagram. I started texting her. Late-night chats turned into inside jokes, nervous flirting, and long walks under empty skies. Slowly, she let me in. Slowly, I fell-harder than I ever thought possible. She started to love me too... or so I thought. But love is never a straight line. Not when her past is made of broken promises and bruised trust. Not when she starts pulling away just as I'm holding on tighter. I loved her harder the more she faded-and then, one day, she was gone. No explanations. No warning. Just silence. A year passed. Then, one night-midnight phone call, trembling voice, the same girl who broke me once asking if I still remember how it felt to love her. This is the story of how we began. Of how we ended. Of how sometimes, the people who break you are the only ones who know how to put you back together. And maybe-just maybe-some love stories aren't about forever. They're about surviving the parts that almost destroy you.Complete
