Echoes of Heaven
"Sometimes, letting go is the bravest thing of all."
Elara is caught between life and death, standing at the edge of everything she once loved and everything she fears to forget. When illness steals her strength and grief clouds her memories, she awakens in a realm not quite heaven-yet not quite earth.
There, beneath the stars and before the gate of something greater, Elara meets a mysterious presence who offers her a choice: return to the world that broke her or cross into the peace she's longed for.
But as echoes of love, pain, and lost moments call her back, Elara must face the question she's been running from all her life-is it truly over, or is there still something left to fight for?
A hauntingly beautiful tale of memory, healing, and the bittersweet weight of goodbye.

Wounded Heart ✔
She loved him with devotion so fierce it scorched every heartbeat, every glance. He was her obsession, her reason to breathe, and her undoing. But while her world revolved around him, he remained distant-a presence, never hers. "How do you let go of someone who is the air in your lungs and the ache in your heart?" "He is my breath, and I will forget him when I forget to breathe." Memories burned bright and untouchable-hers alone. She clung to each haunted fragment, every echo of forbidden love. Until fate, honouring a promise to Aashi, forced her into the arms of the man whose heart was a graveyard. "I married you to fulfil her last wish. You will never belong here." His words cut deep-cold, calculated, meant to wound. Cruelty hid his storm. Her silence was her weapon, her pain a fortress. "You think you know pain?" she spat, her eyes blazing. "I live it every day." He turned away, fists clenched. "You don't belong. This will never be your home." Yet, in their grief and fury, sparks flew, igniting something dangerous. "Love and hate are two sides of the same burning coin." When apologies come too late, and regret drowns truth, love risks turning to ash. She walks away, her heart in ruins. He falls, shattered-vowing to bleed, to burn, to reignite the fire in her eyes. "Some hearts are forged in fire. Some burn to ashes." Even if it destroys him. 📅 Start Date: 28th October 2019 ⏳ End Date: 23rd October 2020 ✏️ Edited Date: 2026Complete
Echoes (wlw)
For Makena, life is a quiet navigation of grief and unspoken fears, especially around a truth she barely dares to name. But everything shifts the day a single word, searched with trembling hands, cracks something open. Suddenly, she's drawn into stories she can't unread, stories that awaken a love she was taught to fear. Then comes Aziza. With eyes that make Makena forget every rule she's written to protect herself, Aziza is everything she fears... and secretly longs for. Now, Makena must make a decision: to embrace a love that feels like both salvation and betrayal, or to retreat into the lonely safety of denial. Echoes is a story of quiet defiance, of finding healing in unexpected places, and of a love so profound it just might rewrite everything Makena thought she knew about faith, family, and herself.Complete

"Even when the world fell apart, love quietly held them together." After losing his wife Hope during childbirth, Ian is left shattered-both emotionally and physically. Confined to a wheelchair, haunted by grief, and raising his newborn son alone, Ian finds himself teetering on the edge of despair. But in the quiet moments, in the echo of lullabies and the soft hum of shared memories, healing begins to take root. With Faith-Hope's twin sister-by his side, what starts as companionship slowly becomes something deeper. She's the anchor in his storm, the quiet strength behind his progress, and the only person who truly understands the weight of what he's lost. As Ian fights to reclaim his life, one step at a time, he discovers that love doesn't always come in grand gestures. Sometimes, it's found in midnight feedings, quiet confessions, and a hand reaching for yours when you need it most. A tender tale of grief, resilience, and rediscovering love-this is not just a story about loss, but about everything beautiful that can rise from it.Complete

The Grim Reaper's Girl
This is a story about the Grim Reaper and the souls he delivers. The Grim Reaper delivers souls from earth to what most comprehend as the 'afterlife'. When there is the occasional resistance from unwilling souls, he'll retrieve an old memory or feeling of theirs and let them experience it again. It usually works to persuade them to leave the world - souls who had suicidal thoughts in the past, those who lost loved ones and didn't want to continue living without them, and those who did something wrong and felt huge crushing guilt. Until he met a soul who never felt like she wanted to die before.Complete
Reaper's Pet
"I love you," Jack smiled. They looked at each other for what felt like a decade. "...No. No you don't." Willow rolled her eyes. "It seemed like the part of our fight where I should say it," he smirked, only making her anger rise. "Why are you doing this?" His expression faltered for a second as he heard the fear in her voice. "Treating me like this? Do you hate me or something? Or do you just not care if I live or die?" His eyes widened briefly before he shook his head. "I don't hate you, or want you to die. But I can't like you either. Humans live a short life, I live forever." He paused, taking a breath. "I can't let myself get attached to someone that will just die on me, or put you in danger," Jack sighed, scratching his neck. Something in his voice made Willow believe this wasn't his words, but rather, words he had been told. When Willow made a deal with a reaper to save her little brother, she never expected to end up as one's bloodbag. Or, as Jack likes to call her, 𝙋𝙚𝙩. Join Willow on her journey as she discovers the hidden supernatural world that has been right under her nose for longer than she even remembers. One where love is forbidden and can get you killed. And pray to Death for her soul, because 𝘥𝘢𝘮𝘯, she's gonna need it. "𝑨 𝒑𝒊𝒆𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒂𝒅𝒗𝒊𝒄𝒆." 𝑺𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍. "𝑰𝒇 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒕𝒉," 𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒂𝒊𝒅, 𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒔𝒆, "𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒖𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒉."

Fading Echoes
Behind every laugh, there's a silence. Behind every smile, a hidden tear. "Fading Echoes" tells the quiet yet powerful story of Liya Sharma, a young girl stepping into a new school, a new seat, and a new life - without ever really understanding why. She hides her fears behind bright eyes and friendly words, even as her heart trembles with questions she's too small to ask. From the pressure of school marks to the bittersweet warmth of family moments, Liya navigates a world that seems normal to everyone else... but to her, it echoes. Echoes of memories she can't explain. Emotions too heavy for her little shoulders. And a sadness so quiet, not even she realizes it's depression. As vacations pass, classrooms fill, and hills whisper secrets in the wind, Liya smiles... because that's what she's learned to do. But what happens when the echoes get louder? A coming-of-age story wrapped in unspoken pain, gentle victories, and a voice that longs to be heard - Fading Echoes will stay with you long after the last page.Complete
Death of the Ghost
In a realm where love blooms like a rose in a graveyard, their souls were cursed to meet and break. A goddess reborn. A demon god undone. He has watched her die in many lifetimes, each ending more brutal than the last, all because of a curse he cannot break - and a love he was cursed to never forget. But when the world fractures and destiny shifts, the woman he saves is not the goddess he remembers. None of her predecessors were, yet she too was sentenced to death by capricious fate. In a land of gods and monsters, where memory twists and fate is a deadly weapon, death may be the only escape.
Letting You Go
Sometimes, love doesn't fade away... it just waits for the right time to return. Two souls who once loved each other but were forced to part ways by a fate that wasn't on their side. Years passed, wounds have healed, hearts have come to terms-or so they thought. When fate brings them back together in a foreign city, long-buried memories begin to resurface. In the silence they once left behind, will they rekindle their love... or let everything go once more, this time for good?Complete
