In a world where memories flow like a river, Delilah stands at the crossroads of her past and future.
Haunted by the remnants of a once-vibrant relationship, she finds herself grappling with the weight of nostalgia and the shadow of heartache. Each recollection is a ripple in the water, pulling her deeper into a past that she both treasures and fears.
As she revisits the solemn places that echo with laughter and love, Delilah is confronted with a powerful choice: will she allow herself to be consumed by the currents of memory, or will she summon the strength to rise above and reclaim her identity?
With the solemn locations that hold her past close, Delilah's journey becomes a universal tale of healing and growth. As she faces the inevitable pull of her memories, she must learn to embrace change and let go of what once was to make room for what could be. "Feet are meant to stand upon once a solemn place" captures the essence of Delilah's struggle, offering a heartfelt exploration of the journey toward reclaiming oneself amidst the tides of time.

To Kill The One Who Loves You
For the ones who wander the twilight, forever chasing the echoes of dreams that refuse to fade. For those who find solace not in the light, but in the gentle hush of the dark, where truth wears no mask and love is edged with sorrow. To my kindred spirits-those who walk the razor-thin boundary between shadow and radiance, who understand that beauty is often tangled with ruin, and that the heart speaks loudest in silence. This tale is for those unafraid to wade into the depths, to embrace the ache of longing, the sting of betrayal, and the whisper of redemption. For the seekers who crave stories without easy answers, for the sleepless ones who listen to the whispers of the night and hear poetry in the void. You, who see the world in shades of grey, who find truth in contradictions and wonder in the bittersweet ache of love and loss-you are the reason this book exists. May you find in these pages a reflection of the questions that haunt you, the ghosts you have named, and the fire that still smolders in the quiet chambers of your soul. This is a tribute to the restless, the relentless, the ones who refuse to be tamed. The untamed, the unbroken, those who refuse to fade into the ordinary. For you, this tale is woven. But If you seek a tale of joy and certainty, you will not find it here. For this story has no gentle beginning, no soft conclusion-only the echoes of what was and what might have been.Complete

My Brother's Best Friend✔️
"You're going to pay for that." I whispered to her, making sure to graze my mouth across the spot that makes her breath hitch. When I saw her remain unfazed, I leant behind her and switched on the shower... causing a small gasp from her beneath the chilling water. Placing both hands either side of her head, I leant into her and hovered my lips above hers. Neither of us moved until she finally breathed the words that made my knees weak. "Oh, just fuck me already." ~~~ A plane journey was all that stood between Rebecca Brooke and Ashton Miles.

The Way We Mend | Book 1 | Author AifiHwa
"I didn't want this to burn out too fast. I wanted it to last, slow and steady, a burning ember that glowed for eternity." She's breaking under expectations. He's suffocating under love. Valeriana has spent her whole life performing as the perfect daughter while quietly falling apart under the weight of never being enough. Darius grew up in warmth and freedom, only to find that too much love can also be a cage. At Ceridian University, Valeriana just wants to survive another semester. Darius just wants to do his job and keep his heart out of it. But when their paths cross; the tutor sessions, quiet teasing, dinners, and moments that weren't supposed to matter turns into something neither expected. A bond built on shared exhaustion and unspoken care. They teach each other how to breathe again. How to laugh when the world feels too heavy. How to love without needing to be perfect. But as their connection deepens, so does the fear of losing control, of being too much, of not being enough. Because love, for them, isn't a rescue. It's a slow unravelling. A choice to stay when it would be easier to run. "The Way We Mend" is a tender, slow-burn romance about burnout, healing, and the quiet courage of being seen and loved as you are. {This is an original work written by me.

My final goodbye
A powerful blend of memory, heartbreak, mental health, and self-expression through pain. It's to be raw, reflective, and emotionally gripping. By Angie This is not just a love story. It's a story of unraveling. the pages of her heart to reveal a journey shaped by love, abandonment, trauma, and transformation. What began as soft, innocent memories with a first love laughing by rivers, sharing midnight drives, holding hands like nothing could go wrong slowly collapsed into coldness, confusion, and emotional silence. I write about a boy who once made her feel seen, (or so I thought) and the boy who later treated me like a a dark cave, in the end the quiet devastation of feeling like an option, the ache of being misunderstood, and the mental toll of loving someone who couldn't or wouldn't love me back in the way I wanted it to be. Later finding out I was never loved for 3 years out of the 7,a waste of time This is a raw account of mental health battles, delusions mistaken for hope, and the long nights where survival didn't feel certain. It is also a tribute to the very people who broke me, their actions became the ink in my pen, their rejection the reason I found my voice. Through poetry, memories, journal entries, and intimate reflections, I will readers into the messy middle of my heartbreak and healing. I don't sugarcoat the pain. I honor it like a degree hooked on the wall, And by doing so, even the deepest wounds can give birth to art, and even shattered people can build something beautiful from the pieces. For anyone who has ever lost themselves in love, for anyone who stayed too long, for anyone who is still learning to let go You aren't alone.Complete
Blood and concrete
On a rainy night, water blends seamlessly with blood. In the rainstorm, cries of despair fade into distant echoes. Life and death dance together, weaving the threads of fragile hopes, in the struggle to define one's identity, in the quest for even a fleeting glimpse of happiness in a world ruled by selfishness, profit, and appearances. The themes are presented explicitly, including acts of psychological, physical, and sexual violence, as well as coarse language. I am not a native English speaker, so the translation may contain errors. I've done my best, though not entirely on my own.
