In the gaslit streets of Manila, artist Tadhg de Leon finds his muse in the unexpected form of Kalliopea Isabella, a merchant's daughter known for her sharp wit and even sharper tongue.

While others see only antagonism, Tadhg perceives a hidden warmth beneath her formidable exterior.

Their connection ignites amidst the city's vibrant chaos, a silent waltz under the watchful eyes of gas lamps.

Tadhg's declaration of love, a bold serenade amidst the city's hum, marks a turning point in both their lives.

He sheds his past vanities, embracing authenticity, while Kalliopea confronts the loneliness born from her carefully constructed defenses.

Their burgeoning romance unfolds against the backdrop of Kalliopea's circle of equally captivating and complex friends:  the deceptively innocent Kneigha Carmen, the sharp-tongued Niamh, the fiery Caoimhe, the impulsive Ruadhán, and the enigmatic Aethoné.

Each woman, beautiful and misunderstood, adds to the rich tapestry of this love story, promising a journey filled with both passion and peril.

Their destiny, intertwined amidst the city's complexities, is a beacon of hope, a testament to the power of love to overcome even the most formidable of reputations.All Rights Reserved

Guilty by yhmmmmm

She was quiet, a shadow of herself, carrying the weight of a past that refused to let her breathe. He was fire, fiercely protective, with eyes that held stories untold and a heart locked away. It wasn't love at first sight-it was an arranged alliance, a collision of two worlds both marred by their own scars. She didn't trust him, and he didn't know how to reach her. Their every encounter sparked with tension, a push and pull between hatred and an undeniable connection. But when the world threatened to hurt her, he stood like a fortress: "Touch her, and you die." It wasn't simple. It wasn't easy. But in the echoes of their pain, they began to piece together something raw, something real. And as their story unfolds, you'll wonder: Is love enough to heal what's broken? Or will their pasts consume them before they can find their way to each other? This isn't your typical love story-it's survival, redemption, and the relentless fight to hold on to what matters. Dive into Aditya and Aadhya's world, where hate simmers into passion, scars become strength, and love is their ultimate salvation. Will you dare to turn the page?

"Between Smiles and Starlight" by blanket2be

Althea Tala Fernandez has always lived life on her own terms-wild parties, late-night drives, and endless freedom in the heart of Manila. BGC was her playground, and rules were meant to be broken. But when her rebellious streak finally pushes her parents too far, she's sent away to the one place she swore she'd never step foot in-her grandmother's house in the quiet, sleepy province of Aurora. For Althea, it's a nightmare. No nightlife, no luxury, no friends-just endless rice fields, slow afternoons, and a town where everyone knows everyone. But things take an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with John Ethan del Rosario-the ever-smiling, ever-reliable son of the barangay captain. Ethan is everything she isn't-calm, responsible, and deeply rooted in the simple life she can't stand. At first, she finds him annoying, always teasing her, always getting under her skin. But the more time she spends with him, the more she realizes that his easygoing smile hides something deeper... something she's curious to uncover. As the days pass, Althea starts to question everything she thought she wanted. Because maybe-just maybe-this little town, this boy, and this unfamiliar life aren't so bad after all. But can a girl like her truly belong in a place like this? Or is she just passing through, destined to leave and never look back? A story about love, self-discovery, and the unexpected magic of second chances-welcome to Aurora, where even the most lost hearts can find their way home.
