Love in the Time of Ashes is a collection of timeless tales, each set in a world where empires rise, loyalties are tested, and hearts beat against the echo of destiny. Across shifting sands and moonlit corridors, each story holds a single thread: a love caught between what is and what could be.
In palaces and battlefields, quiet gardens and crumbling temples, strangers meet, promises are made, and the winds of fate stir. Some loves arrive softly, others burn like comets-but all leave their mark.
These are stories where choices shape kingdoms, where devotion takes many forms, and where the heart, though uncertain, always dares.
Let the past breathe.
Let the fire speak.
And let love find its place-where time forgets, but feeling remembers.

Aashiqui
Aashiqui ☆♡ Once upon a time, they believed in each other more than the world did. Ian - the boy with a broken guitar and bigger dreams. Raisa - the girl who painted his future with her faith and smiles. From classrooms to late-night calls, from cheering the loudest to falling apart in silence - life drifted them away, just when they needed each other the most. Now, Ian is a rising star, standing under the brightest lights... but carrying the shadow of the only girl who once promised to whistle for his success. Raisa is chasing a different dream, buried under books and broken memories, pretending she doesn't hear his songs on the spotify. They say growing up means letting go. But what about the notes you once wrote for each other, and never got to finish? A story about dreams, distance, heartbreak, healing - and the bitter-sweet notes we leave behind. Welcome to a story of promises, prayers, and love letters written between the lines. @Eleven_emberComplete

And every time, her heart betrayed her; racing, stumbling, fluttering like a caged butterfly chasing a memory. Her breath shortened, her chest tightened, and still, she said nothing. Because it wasn't her place. Because she was never meant to be seen. Until she was. Until the day she stood before him, not as a stranger in the crowd, but as his bride. The wrong bride. He had seen her before. Once in passing, her eyes barely a flicker in his peripheral vision, dismissed for a prettier pair. The second time, he saw her through a vow sealed in blood and duty. And rage erupted. Exacting. Demanding. She wasn't supposed to wear that dress. She wasn't supposed to carry his name. But now that she does... There's no turning back.Complete

Some hearts leave without closing the door. Some forevers aren't loud. Some love stories never leave... they just learn to live from far. He never shouted. Not when she ignored his silence. Not even when she forgot how to love him. He just stayed. Quietly. Through her tempers. Through her distance. Through it all. This is not the story of a perfect marriage.
