Elara has built a life of quiet comforts-mornings filled with coffee steam and well-loved books, evenings wrapped in soft music and solitude. After years of learning how to live gently with herself, she isn't looking for love. Not anymore.

But when Luca-a soft-spoken artist with a past he won't quite name-wanders into her little café one rainy afternoon, something unspoken settles between them. He's all quiet edges and careful pauses, carrying a silence that feels too familiar. Elara recognizes it. She once lived in it, too.

Their connection unfolds slowly-in shared silences, subtle glances, and the steady rhythm of two people relearning how to trust softness after the world has been loud.

This is not a story of grand gestures.
It is a story of healing hands, late-night conversations,
and a love that bloomed gently-
like sunlight creeping across the floorboardsAll Rights Reserved

ᴡʜɪꜱᴘᴇʀꜱ ᴏꜰ ʜᴇᴀʟɪɴɢ [ᴄᴏᴍᴘʟᴇᴛᴇᴅ] by thewanderingquill_

After a traumatic first marriage left her body bruised and her mind in pieces, Maithili has built a world of silence. Isolated in her village, she avoids mirrors, voices, even her own name - afraid that one wrong move will make the pain return. When her worried parents consult an astrologer, they are told a second marriage might be her only path out of the shadows. Neil Chaudhary isn't looking for love. He's not against marriage - just never in a hurry for it. When he agrees to marry Maithili, he expects nothing more than civility and space. What he finds instead is a girl who flinches when he speaks too loud. A wife who won't say his name. And a story written in silence that pulls him in, piece by piece. As Maithili learns to breathe again, Neil learns what it means to wait for someone - and love, the kind that heals without hurting, begins to take shape. But can love truly heal the scars of the past, or is it simply a quiet way to survive?

Her Arranged Husband by bhoomi_wrts_13

He's a self-made man with silent insecurities. She's a princess from a world he never imagined being part of. Abhishek, an orphan with a kind heart and steady job at a tech company, lives a simple middle-class life. All he ever wanted was stability-and maybe someone to call his own. He never imagined that someone would be her. Prachi Sharma, the only daughter of a wealthy business family in Gurugram, has lived a life of comfort and protection. When her father-who treats Abhishek like a son-announces her arranged marriage to the soft-spoken employee she's never even met, her world shifts overnight. Two shy souls. Two strangers. One unexpected marriage. With innocence in their hearts and hesitation in their eyes, will they be able to build something real? Or will the differences in their worlds build walls between their hearts? A tender story of awkward glances, quiet love, emotional healing, and two virgins discovering what it means to belong-not just in marriage, but in each other's lives.

Found Again 🌙 by Aelira_Selene

After five years of silence, Nila wasn't expecting to see Aarav again-especially not in the same office corridor where their story had once quietly unraveled. She had learned to bury her feelings, to live with the echoes of love that never got to grow. But fate has its own rhythm. From shared glances to shared coffee, from unsent letters to late-night conversations, Nila and Aarav begin to rewrite what was lost. Not with grand declarations, but with the slow, aching honesty of people who've been broken-and are now brave enough to hold each other gently. This is not a love story about fireworks. It's about returning. About staying. About the quiet kind of love that asks nothing but presence... and gives everything in return. A story of second chances, soft tension, and the love that waited.

Something Like Softness - NICK STURNIOLO [COMPLETE] by t0bysita

When two quietly broken souls meet in the noise of Los Angeles, they find something rare - a connection that doesn't need to shout to be heard. Luca Hartley has always been the one to fade into the background - a soft-spoken bookstore barista and struggling artist with a quiet life built on careful walls. Nick Sturniolo, a rising YouTube star known for his warmth and openness, seems like everything Luca isn't: loud, confident, and impossible to ignore. But when fate (and a chance encounter at an indie bookstore) brings them together, Luca begins to discover that maybe softness isn't weakness. Maybe it's the kind of strength you only find when someone finally sees you - really sees you - and stays. A tender slow-burn romance about learning to trust, the courage in vulnerability, and the quiet power of being known.

Between Quiet and Gold by jules2love

They grew up on the same street. Jude was the boy who always carried a camera around his neck, and Jules was the girl who painted everything she couldn't say. Their friendship started with laughter shared snacks after school, afternoons spent chasing sunsets, and long walks home where their shadows always touched before their hands ever did. At sixteen, they both discovered something unspoken. The kind of pull that made ordinary moments feel cinematic the way he'd brush paint off her cheek, or she'd fix his collar before a photograph. Neither of them called it love, but everyone around could feel it humming quietly. Then came the summer that changed everything. Jude's parents moved away suddenly a new job, a new city. They promised to write, to call, to never forget. But time happened numbers changed, addresses got lost, and life moved faster than they could hold on. Years passed. Jules poured herself into her art her canvases became her diary. Jude built a name for himself in travel photography every frame a silent search for something familiar he couldn't name. Neither of them knew that the other still looked for pieces of their old laughter in strangers. Now, ten years later, fate quietly folds the distance between them. Her art exhibition Between Quiet and Gold opens in the city where he now freelances. He doesn't plan to go at first. But one photo he took an old sketch he kept from her pulls him in. And suddenly, there he is, standing in a room filled with her colors, realizing she has been painting him all along.

Two Years Too Late by romazlone

They were strangers bound by an arranged marriage neither of them wanted. She, a quiet dreamer who had secretly loved him for years. He, a pragmatic man who saw marriage as an obligation, not an emotion. For two years, they lived as roommates - her world revolving around him, and his life quietly orbiting her without realizing it. Until one night, a phone call could have changed everything - if only he had picked up. That night changed her. The woman who once waited for love now wanted freedom. But by the time he finally saw what she meant to him... she was already gone. And some mistakes take years to heal - even if love never really leaves.

Somewhere Between Goodbye and Forever by Nicholastseng

What if the greatest love of your life was someone you never met? Elias Wira sits alone in a quiet café on the anniversary of something he can't quite name. Across timelines and memories that feel more like dreams, he is haunted by the sense that he missed something-or someone-important. In another corner of the city, Aria searches for answers to strange phenomena called "emotional echoes"-fragments of lives never lived, loves never begun, yet deeply felt. When a series of near-encounters and impossible feelings draw them together, Elias and Aria find themselves unraveling a story that defies time, memory, and fate. But some choices echo louder than others. And some moments-no matter how fleeting-can change everything. Somewhere Between Goodbye and Forever is a quietly haunting exploration of regret, alternate timelines, and the courage to love, even when nothing is certain. For readers who believe that even missed chances can leave a mark on the soul.

Touchdowns and Tenderness by urmomwastasty

Luca "The Tank" Davis is a star player on the Bayview University football team, a powerful force on the field, and a guy who seems to have it all. He's got the looks, the fame, the skill, and a reputation that precedes him. Off the field, he's known for his cold, distant demeanor, and it's not hard to see why he's learned the hard way that people only want to be around him for what he can do for them. He trusts no one. But everything starts to change when he meets Isla Matthews. Isla is a quiet, invisible figure on campus who's hiding from her past. She's the girl who walks around in oversized sweaters, sits alone in the back of every lecture, and is determined to stay unnoticed. She's carrying emotional scars, and she doesn't want anyone to know. She's also never cared about football-until one day, she accidentally bumps into Luca in a library study room. They don't talk much at first, but something about Isla's sadness and Luca's bitterness intrigues the other. He can see there's more to her than she lets on. She's not chasing his fame or fortune, and that's different from every other person in his life. As their paths cross more and more-during long study sessions, group projects, and unexpected moments-they find that their pain and struggles mirror each other in unexpected ways. But while Luca's life is splashed all over social media and the front page of the campus paper, Isla remains a shadow, a quiet girl with a broken heart. The story is about them finding each other when everything around them is falling apart. It's a romance built on trust, healing, and the realization that the loudest people don't always have the deepest pain, and the quietest people aren't always the weakest.

Soft Silence by authorem_

"𝐼𝑛 𝑎 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑙𝑑 𝑓𝑢𝑙𝑙 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑜𝑜𝑛𝑠, 𝑠ℎ𝑒'𝑠 𝑚𝑦 𝑠𝑢𝑛." 𝘿𝙞𝙮𝙖 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙖 is kind, too kind and strong in the way that makes people forget she bleeds too. Love was never expected, only endurance. So when her father asked her to marry she nodded... not out of hope, but habit. 𝙑𝙚𝙙𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙈𝙖𝙡𝙝𝙤𝙩𝙧𝙖, grew up in a home that taught him how to build empires but never taught him how to ask for a hug. Marriage was never part of the plan until a hospital room, a fading pulse, and the one man he could never disappoint whispered a final wish. Neither expected warmth. Neither expected understanding. And they definitely didn't expect comfort in each's other's silence. A tale of quiet yearning- an arranged marriage where silence becomes a language and love sneaks in when no one's looking. - M 💌
