In a sleepy coastal town in the Philippines, where the waves know everyone's secrets and the sunsets come with a hint of salt and sorrow, Meto Reyes lives a quiet life running his family's fading beach resort. He's used to stillness, used to goodbyes, and used to the way people leave without ever really seeing him.
Until a man named Apollo arrives.
Sun-kissed and barefoot, carrying nothing but a guitar and a strange calm, Apollo rents a cottage by the sea and turns Meto's routine inside out. He doesn't sweat under the summer heat. He hums lullabies the sea seems to echo. And he writes lyrics in languages Meto can't quite place-about gods, storms, and a love that burns brighter than the sun.
What begins as wary curiosity soon becomes something tender, magnetic, and impossible to ignore. But Apollo carries more than music in his bones-he is a being caught between heaven and earth, punished to walk among mortals, his divinity hidden in every smile, every song.
As Meto learns the truth, he must choose: hold onto the ordinary life he knows, or risk everything for a love that might be eternal... or might vanish with the tide.
Sun Amidst the Waves is a slow-burn BL novel that blends Filipino and Greek myth with modern romance-a story of sunlight, memory, and the boy who loved a god who loved him back.

Nico felt like Icarus. Fly too close to the sun, and your wings will melt. Fly too close to the sea, your wings will grow heavy. Nico had already flown too close to the sea. He had allowed his infatuation with Percy to rule his life, his decisions, for far to many years. His wings had grown heavy, and he'd drowned. Icarus had made a mistake. He strayed too far, entranced by the kindness of the light. The dark wouldn't be as welcoming, ushering you in with no hesitancy and crossed arms. That didn't work out so well for Icarus. So, Nico would allow this filter, this light, to cover him, shroud him in kindness, and possibility, and warmth. But he would not cross further. He would not succumb to the light only to fall forever into darkness. He would do what Icarus couldn't. Nico di Angelo would not fly too close to the sun. Cover art by viria!Complete

Love Wins (BoyxBoy)
Pease note that this is a work of fiction. Nothing in this story happened in real life, I created all events that take place in this other than what happens on June 26th, but even then it's bent to relate to this story and so that it's a tad bit original. Thanks. This story is not for everyone, due to mentions of self harm, suicidal thoughts/attempts, drug use, death, and [badly written] erotic content. Will Solace, son of Apollo [the sun god] often feels as if he is alone. He feels as though there is no one out there for him and everyone he knows secretly dislikes him. After one particularly rough day, Will decides that he can no longer take all of the hate and teasing that he goes through on a daily basis. Nico Di Angelo, son of Hades [god of the underworld] is a quiet boy that likes to keep to himself. After his sister passed away many years ago, his life has taken a dark turn, leaving Nico to only see the bad things in his life. Nico has very few friends, a half sister that he loves dearly, and a crush on one of his only friends. Wow, super sucky story description!! The fic is better than the description makes it sound by the way!Complete
