"Sometimes, the deepest wounds are not seen-but felt in silence."
As time passes, there are stories left unwritten. Not for the lack of words, but for the fear that someone might read them. But sometimes, the sea itself finds a way to bring lost voices back to shore.
A diary washes up on the coast-its ink slightly smudged, its pages wrinkled, yet its words remain intact, screaming into the quiet. This is not fiction. Someone wrote this, someone suffered, someone wondered if anyone was waiting at the end of their unfinished pages.
But as the words unfold, a stranger in the future reads them-and for some reason, a thought lingers in his mind: Why does this feel less like someone else's story... and more like mine?

The Language of Paper Butterflies
What if Tawan failed to protect Ayla that night-and Ayla died? Now Ayla is stuck in the After, a liminal place where dust never settles and time lies pressed flat. Here, waiting is its only language. She wakes to rooms stiff with silence, to air that never warms, to skies trapped between dusk and daybreak-never breaking fully into morning. She endures, hollowed by a grief she cannot name, haunted by the absence of someone she only barely knew. She finds companions in the After: Typhoon, Chanya, Nana, even Pete, the weary administrative staff-but nothing lasts. Everything here drifts, and everyone eventually leaves. The After is a place of temporary things. Until one afternoon, against all reason, Tawan appears in the After herself. Their reunion is fragile, tentative. Ayla studies her the way one relearns a forgotten language, grounding herself in the curve of her hair, the shade of her eyes, the tender smile she carries into this half-world. And for the first time, the silence of the After begins to crack. Light bleeds into its horizon. This is a story about loss, mortality, death, waiting, and what it means to love someone even after the end.Complete

We Were a Mess, But We Were Ours || WANPLENG
> WAN AND PLENG WERE NEVER THE PLAN-BUT THEY SURE AS HELL WERE THE PROBLEM. Wan is the chill, seemingly emotionless pre-med student with a black belt in sarcasm and a coffee addiction. Pleng is a loud, dramatic communications major who thinks love is just a marketing tactic and chaos is a love language. Together? They're the university's most iconic disaster duo-loud, unfiltered, always in the middle of a mess they created... and somehow still beloved by everyone. When a joke fake breakup lands them sympathy food, online fame, and accidental queer icon status, they decide to keep the bit going-for the memes, of course. But as fake fights turn into long stares and "it's just a joke" kisses start feeling real, they find themselves in a campus-wide spiral of their own making. Enemies? No. Friends? Barely. Soulmates? Definitely not. (...Right?) They may be a mess. But they're each other's mess. Welcome to the wildest love story ever told by two girls who claim they're "just roommates."Complete

Letters from the Other Side
She woke to a world washed in silver. The clouds hung low, heavy with secrets. And when the rain began, soft, deliberate. She welcomed it like an old friend. But this morning wasn't like the others. Between the drops, she saw them. Tiny beings, born of shimmer and storm. Fairies. Real ones. They moved like the rain itself knew how to keep them hidden. And in that quiet wonder, something ancient stirred. Everyone else rushed past, umbrellas raised, eyes down. No one noticed. Except her. One fairy remained. Still, glowing, watching her like it had been waiting. When she whispered, "Hello," the world began to shift. But the rain wasn't the only thing falling that day. A parcel was coming. A diary that writes back. A demon who already knows her name. And a truth her father buried long ago. The past isn't sleeping. It's waking up.

Rascals
A story of a runaway heartbeat and the found family it dragged along. They move from place to place-half-lost, half-chosen-chasing quiet, hiding from the noise. It started with one girl trying to outrun the truth her family fed her, and grew into a mismatched group of escapees: her best friend, a boyfriend, two internet ghosts, and later, the ones who took the place of those who left. But people don't always stay. Sometimes they leave with a note. Sometimes they don't say anything at all. And sometimes... they come back. What happens when someone you loved left you for what they thought was your good-only to return when the damage's been done? What happens when grief makes room for someone new? And how do you know when the road you're running is finally home? --- Content Warning: •Themes of death, grief, abandonment •Found family & trauma bonding •Emotional and psychological triggers •Intimate/suggestive scenes (light smut)Complete
