Noah had never believed in love at first sight. It always seemed like something out of books-something romanticized to the point of impossibility. But then again, he also never expected that his most defining moment would come in the quiet aisles of a library on a sleepy Tuesday afternoon, surrounded by dust and dog-eared pages.
At that time, love wasn't on his radar. He was buried in thesis deadlines, family expectations, and the numb routine of adulthood quietly creeping in. He had a rhythm. Predictable, peaceful...lonely.
That was before Julian.

Delicate Disaster
They started as classmates, then friends, then something that didn't quite fit any word. The problem? Neither of them were ready to call it love. They never meant to fall for each other. It just happened quietly, in glances that lingered too long and silences that said too much. What started as teasing and shared notes turned into something heavier, something neither of them dared to name. Elena swears she's fine keeping it undefined, even when her heart stumbles every time his eyes find hers. And Noah he hides behind jokes, behind that easy confidence, pretending he doesn't care when he clearly does. It's the kind of almost love that burns slow, the kind that ruins you softly. Between laughter and denial, comfort and confusion, they walk the line between friendship and something more, too scared to cross it, too scared to let go. __ Friends to something less than lovers, more than bestfriends.
The One That Got Away
Years have passed. She's a grandmother now widowed, weathered, but not bitter. While helping her clean the garage, her grandchildren stumble upon a shoebox filled with old letters, unlocking memories of a love that never quite faded. Back in 8th grade, at a private Christian academy where everything was supposed to be orderly, disciplined, and "right," She met Dani a loud, boyish, fearless girl who flipped her whole world upside down. What started as friendship bloomed into something deeper, something unspoken. But silence, fear, and timing would tear them apart. From shared snacks and hand-holding under desks to first heartbreaks and whispered letters, this is the story of a love that never got its chance, a love kept secret in the face of societal expectations, internal fears, and growing pains. As time moves on, people leave, come back, fall for others, and grow into who they are meant to be. But some feelings especially first love never truly vanish. Some names stay on your tongue long after you stop saying them. The One That Got Away is a poignant coming-of-age LGBTQ+ romance about young love, missed chances, and what it means to carry someone in your heart even when they no longer hold your hand.Complete

Frequent visits to the British library occured once he started working on a new story to publish in the school newspapers and later turn into a book. He was seeking inspiration for the whole semester now and now has a little time to finish the book. Usually, his day would consist of waking up, having breakfast, going to the library and his college classes, running errands, having lunch, relaxing or working out, having a bath then going straight to bed with a hundred thoughts trapped in his head. That would be a usual day. Today, the weather was quite gloomy and the forecaster predicted rain. But today wasn't going to be as ordinary for Noah as every other day, because he might have found the source of his inspiration for the book. ---- Story status: CompletedComplete
