On a stormy night, Isabelle Durant finds herself drawn to an old bookstore she hasn't visited in years. As she reaches for the door, she notices a stranger watching her from the shadows. He speaks her name as if he knows her, but she has no memory of him.
Before she can ask questions, he hands her a small velvet-wrapped object-a silver key. Then, in a flash of lightning, he vanishes.
Left standing in the rain, key in hand, Isabelle realizes this is more than a chance encounter. It's the beginning of something mysterious, something dangerous... and she has no choice but to follow where it leads.

Say You'll Let Me Stay
One stormy night, Phuwin's peaceful life is shattered when a bloodied stranger crashes through his window- hurt, and asking for shelter. He doesn't ask questions.

THINGS I WISH YOU KNEW
Being best friends with Pond was easy. Too easy, actually. He's loud, popular, a walking flirt, and annoyingly attractive if you're into that sort of thing (Phuwin is. Unfortunately.) Phuwin has kept his feelings locked up tighter than Pond's shirt buttons during summer, telling himself it's fine. He's fine. Everything is fine. Until Pond gets a girlfriend. A serious one. And suddenly, Phuwin starts wondering if "best friends" should hurt this much. Meanwhile, Pond blissfully straight and oblivious starts having the weirdest dreams, the weirdest thoughts, and the weirdest reactions every time Phuwin bites back with his usual sass and a dangerous smirk. Love? No way. That would be .. okay, maybe. Maybe yes. Please this is my first fanfiction and I'm not a writer so feel free to like and comment your opinions. I hope y'all like it. Thank you 😊😊

The Hunter [completed]
We are far from people, in the midst of the woods. A cabin by a dark pond. A birthday celebration. An uninvited stranger. "As the storm raged outside, we were sat inside by the fireplace, having a good time talking and playing a board game. I had lit up some candles and it was actually very cosy. Another crack of thunder was heard, and a flash of lightning lit up the small living room. In that very same second, there was a heavy knock on the door."Complete
The Day I Stopped Smiling at You
Pond is the campus heartthrob-cocky, charming, and a little too good at turning people into punchlines. And Phuwin? Just the quiet nerd he teases between classes. Sweet, invisible Phuwin who always smiles like it doesn't hurt. Who laughs like his heart isn't quietly breaking. But behind those glasses and gentle eyes is a boy who feels everything. Who writes poems he'll never share. Who's been in love with his bully since first year but is too afraid to confess... too afraid of being a joke. Until one day, he's not. The jokes stop. The smiles disappear. Phuwin turns cold. And suddenly, Pond can't breathe. Because now it's not so funny. Not when Phuwin won't look at him. Not when the silence is louder than anything he's ever teased. Not when the boy who used to care-won't anymore. Pond thought he was in control. But he never saw the moment he broke something beautiful. And now, he might've lost the one person who ever looked at him like he was more than just a mask. MADE WITH HELP OF AIComplete
My shelter from the storm
Anita," her angelic voice calls to me. Thunder rumbles in the distance. Her soft, delicate hands caressing my face, sparkling green eyes grounding me from the dark past I wish I could forget. "You're safe, it's okay." I bring my hand up, running my finger over the mound of scar tissue. The constant reminder of that night. The raised bump covers the bullet fragment embedded in my sternum. She takes my hands as more thunder rumbles and tears roll down my cheeks. "Breathe Anita," she says in a soothing whisper. My lungs were burning with the need for air and it was then that I realized I'd been holding it. I take in a gasping breath and recall the first time my eyes met her green eyes. My sister had been lifted off me and my eyes opening had startled her. The first time she touched me gave me strength to hold on. I held her hand tight, trying to tell her what happened, but couldn't get enough breath to form words. Sitting in the present going through the same as I had five years ago. "They were all found, Anita. They can't hurt you anymore. It's just a storm. All the doors and windows are locked, the alarm is set. It's just you and me." "Will you keep the light on tonight, please?"
