'It was a wonderful night, the kind of night that can perhaps only happen when we are young, dear reader.' With this sentence, Dostoyevsky opens his story of an incipient love that arises from the chance encounter between the lonely narrator and the young Nastenka. Over four nights, the two reveal their fears and longings to each other. But Nastenka's heart belongs to someone else. Dostoyevsky's 'sensitive novel' tells of unfulfilled love in a moving and sensitive way.

When The Lights Went Out
A soul withdrawn from the world, finding comfort only in silence, carries a wound no light can reach. Shadows are safer than connection, and solitude becomes both refuge and prison. Into this darkness steps a spirit unbroken by blindness, one who chooses kindness even when life has offered only pain. Where others see loss, there is still light; where others turn bitter, there is still grace. A tale of contrasts, of wounds and wonder, of two hearts bound by fate yet destined to fall apart.
Glimpses of Happiness
What if a book-loving, young English girl wins a ticket to Russia through a contest held by her local library in the 19th century, where she meets Fyodor Dostoevsky and his family? A TOTAL FANFICTION ( I DON'T WANT TO OFFEND ANYONE) but in this imaginary setting, she meets new friends and soon to realize it was more than just a free ticket. P.S. feel free to reimagine the whole Dostoevsky situation with another, something I might do later on with editing.Complete

Bad state
Y/n has always carried their battles in silence, convincing themselves that the weight of their thoughts is theirs alone to bear. On the surface, the world moves on-rain falls, days pass, people laugh-but inside, Y/n feels stuck in a storm they can't escape. Then comes Natasha: patient, steady, and unexpectedly kind. She doesn't push. She doesn't demand answers. Instead, she offers quiet company, gentle reminders that love doesn't have to be loud to be powerful, and that healing can begin in the smallest of moments. As Y/n learns to let someone in, their connection with Natasha grows-slowly, tenderly, and honestly. But trusting love while navigating the shadows of mental health isn't easy. Together, they must discover what it means to build something real-piece by piece, heart by heart. A slow-burn romance about vulnerability, healing, and the kind of love that stays through the rain.
A short story about unfinished wounds, quiet love, and the healing that comes when two hearts finally let go. To the ones who stayed. To the ones who let go. To the ones who finally chose peace over possibility. This is for you.
