Ella's world has been fractured by loss, leaving her adrift in a sea of memories. When she discovers an old, forgotten journal-its pages marked with dreams and ambitions she never pursued-she is forced to confront the painful truth: the life she might have lived is slipping further away with each passing day. As she delves deeper into the journal, she is drawn into the haunting possibility of the choices she could have made, the love she could have found, and the future that was never meant to be. The deeper she goes, the more she realizes that the heaviest weight isn't the loss itself, but the crushing burden of what could have been. A heart-wrenching tale of regret, unrealized dreams, and the devastating pull of the past.All Rights Reserved

Blind Promises by Bextra6

A lonely girl from a small town in Oklahoma finds herself in the middle of Seattle, Washington. What she didn't know was fate was about to deal her a hand that she needed to help put all her demons back where they belonged, locked away for good. A war hardened soldier, blinded in an attack while doing a black ops mission, was sitting there with his friend at a movie night of all things when an angel walked into the room. What little vision he did have gave him the notion that an ethereal being had just graced his presence. Little did he know, she'd be stuck with him for the foreseeable future after an unexpected attack. At first she was drawn to his service dog, but then it wasn't long before she couldn't keep her mind off of him. Which was good because he had no plans of ever letting her go. Sight unseen, he'd decided she was the most beautiful thing he'd ever met. He knew he had issues she didn't deserve to have to handle. She knew she had a past that he wouldn't want to deal with. But fate had other plans for the two lovers, a blind promise. Can they work through their differences, their mental health challenges, and the dangerous situations that come their way?

What Could This Be, Between You & Me? by v1v1dy

Some love stories are meant to be simple, but theirs was anything but. Sol never imagined that love could be something he would dread-until he crossed paths with Ember. She embodied warmth and fire, a sanctuary and a tempest, and he found himself captivated by her like a melody he never wanted to end. However, love was a concept Ember had long abandoned. The scars of her past had left her too wary to trust, too hesitant to hope. As their lives intertwine, they discover comfort in one another, yet the very bond that unites them also threatens to tear them apart. Friendships fracture, fears emerge, and the silence of unspoken words becomes a heavy burden of regret. When the shadows of the past finally close in, they must confront a question neither is prepared to answer: What could this be, between you and me? A profoundly emotional and strikingly honest journey of love, loss, and self-discovery, What Could This Be, Between You and Me? is not merely a tale of falling in love-it's about learning to fight for it.

Y/N had long since perfected the art of hiding the cracks in her heart, a quiet ache that lingered beneath the surface, unnoticed by the world around her. Trust had been shattered too many times, leaving behind only the remnants of love she once gave so freely. The weight of solitude clung to her like a second skin, and each day she walked through life as though she were a ghost, watching the world pass by, yearning for something she couldn't quite reach. But when the night embraced her, when sleep whispered its soft lullaby, everything changed. In the silence of her dreams, something shifted-though her eyes could not see, her heart felt it. It was a presence, gentle yet unyielding, that made her believe, just for a moment, that there was more to life than the ache she carried. A presence that whispered in the stillness, as though it had always known her, waiting in the spaces where dreams met reality. In that sacred space, between waking and sleeping, Y/N began to feel the warmth of something new. It was not a dream, but something more-a promise, tender yet powerful, that whispered softly to her soul. "I can't promise you a perfect world, but in this moment, let me be the one who never lets you go." In The Dreamer's Embrace, Y/N begins a journey where the weight of silence starts to lift, revealing a connection she never expected-a love, not of fantasy, but something she's always longed for. Will she open her heart to this strange, beautiful presence, or will the weight of her past keep her trapped in the shadows?
