Romance stories that I write for me and give to you all. These may move you or not. Does it really matter? Thanks for reading🧚🏽‍♀️

A Love Beyond Names by Vane_Matru

How did we get to this? Or rather, when? After you, I realized that time, circumstances, or simply us, because we are not perfect beings, but we try to be the best version of ourselves day by day, can be destined to be together and last as long as we are willing. Nostalgia flooded my body when I passed by our quiet, lonely, and green park, the one that welcomed us when we were together, just you and me. I saw that old, worn-out bench sitting empty; it was impossible not to remember the afternoons we spent there, laughing, dreaming, enjoying each other's company. From the moment I saw you that coincidental day, I knew that love had finally arrived in my life, and I will continue to stand by your side as your wife until my body can no longer go on.

Shoreside by vinnieX

This is a story about life, finding oneself in unfamiliar territory, losing those we love, staying together with those we love, growing up, hardship, and above all else, finding a way through. Stay strong, dear reader, there may be rough water ahead. **** It is important to note that there is disturbing content in this story. I am not a woman, and I do not presume to know all the hardships a woman may face. I do not intend this story to take away from real stories, nor do I intend to make myself seem somehow righteous in telling of the hardships of others, even in a fictional sense. I only wish to acknowledge the cruelty in this world, and the reality of the suffering of those who suffer, who are hurt, who are victims.

The Advocate and the Storyteller by XzovyArts

In the radiant Upper City, beneath the scorching heat of a summer lunch break, a woman sits every day on a park bench, lost in a book, trying to escape her troubles. A writer in the shadows, she struggles to keep her small bookstore afloat after a difficult divorce. One day, a stranger sits beside her. He's a lawyer. He loves literature. He has noticed her before. For no apparent reason, he takes an interest in her, supports her, encourages her to believe in her own worth. But when he uncovers her story, he decides to help her reclaim what should have always been hers. A battle that will not come without risks-because some truths are meant to stay buried. A story of resilience, unexpected friendship, and courage, where providence sometimes takes the form of a stranger with the soul of a guardian angel. ☾ This is a story-chat I created with an AI.

View from Above the Canopy by TyroneNW

A man enters a previously unseen forest in hopes of finding safety from a destructive event outside. This forest is not empty however, nor is it a forest in any typical sense of the word. What will he find, and what will find him?

The Owl by DuckyandtheNut

A man wanders alone, lost in both time and thought in the quiet solitude of a vast forest. Under a watchful gaze, he confronts the fragmented memories of his past-his regrets, his joys, and the weight of a life lived. He relives moments of love, parenthood, and missed opportunities and finds himself reflecting on those moments of his life that consume him. This novella explores the nature of reflection, the human struggle to make peace with the self, and the choices that shape us through rich allegory and profound introspection. With stunning imagery and a narrative that invites readers to reflect on their own lives, this is a meditation on the burdens we carry and the paths we ultimately choose to walk. - - - Winner of the 2025 March Writer's Crown from the Watthub Community

Autumn and Entropy by GrimGriminney

/Complete/ A Novella, examining the meaning of autumn and its fading wonder, and the things that linger in life and follow us as we go about way. Something found me out there in the quiet places. From within the wild and green places, something reached out. This story is but a small piece of an infinite puzzle. The thing that lingers along with me on myriad jaunts through the woods and fields. It's an old friend and an old foe, and it surrounds me with an embrace of chaos and coincidence. Its name is Entropy.
