Not every beginning is loud.
Sometimes, it's a quiet glance,
and the feeling that maybe - just maybe - you don't have to hide.
Rafael didn't expect to meet someone like Sienna-not when he'd gotten so good at keeping his distance. She's sharp, guarded, dramatic in the way that makes him laugh, and quiet in the way that makes him stay. What starts with late-night voice notes, cursed thrift shop statues, and arguments about ugly frog mugs turns into something slower. Deeper. Realer than either of them meant it to be.
He's been hurt. She hides behind jokes. But somewhere between the chaos and the calm, they find a rhythm that makes sense-two people figuring out how to be soft in a world that taught them not to be.
There's no perfect moment. No grand confessions. Just the steady choosing of each other in the small, quiet ways that count most.
It Was Always You is a story about slow-burning love, stitched hearts, awkward honesty, and the people who meet you where you are-even when you don't know how to ask for it.

The life they were building shatters in an instant, changing the course of the life they had planned together. Hunter's love remains eternal despite new barriers. Is his love enough to conquer the greatest of obstacles? Will Avery's journey lead her back to him or be lost forever to the twists of fate?

Rain Check on My Heart
Sienna had long since stopped believing in love. Once upon a time, she'd given her heart away, only to watch it shatter into a million irreparable pieces. Now, love was nothing but a cruel illusion-something reserved for fairytales and fools. She wasn't either. But then came Jovan Westbrook. He was trouble wrapped in perfection. A walking contradiction. The kind of man who made promises with his eyes but never with his lips. He made her heart race, her skin burn, but he never let her in. Jovan was a storm she was willing to chase, even if it meant getting caught in the wreckage. And she almost had him-almost. But Jovan didn't do love. He was the man who kept his distance, who kissed her like she was his world but never called her his. Sienna wasn't blind; she knew she was nothing more than a beautiful complication to him. A fleeting pleasure. A side piece to his untouchable heart. Still, she stayed. Hoping. Wanting. Loving him when he refused to love her back. Until one day... she disappeared. No notes. No calls. No trace of where she went. Just a gaping emptiness where she used to be. And that's when Jovan felt it-the unbearable ache of missing someone you never let yourself love. Now, he's the one searching. The one chasing. The one who realizes too late that love isn't about convenience-it's about risk, about choosing someone even when it scares the hell out of you. But is he too late? Because some rain checks never get cashed in... and some hearts don't wait forever.Complete
You Talk Too Much
Nicolas didn't want friends. Didn't want attention. Definitely didn't want her. But then Lina sat next to him. Every. Single. Day. She talked through the awkward silences, laughed at her own jokes, and asked questions he never answered. She was chaos in sneakers and bubblegum lip gloss - and he wanted nothing to do with her. ...Until he did. Because somehow, her noise started drowning out the thoughts he didn't know how to escape. And her voice became the only thing that made the silence bearable. This isn't a love story. Not at first. This is a story about a boy who lost his spark... And the girl who wouldn't let him disappear quietly. ✅ Nicolas ✅ Lina ✅ "You Talk Too Much" ✅ High school setting ✅ Healing + chaos + slow-burn (Btw I forgot to add that there will be no smut of any kind in this story. Maybe an innocent kiss or something but nothing else)

Little Light (GxG)
In a world that moves too fast, she's learning to breathe slowly. To feel again. To let someone touch the parts of her she thought were long gone. There are no crowns here. No thrones. Just the quiet war of learning how to be held without flinching. She doesn't beg for safety. She creates it in silence. And when she kneels, it's not for weakness- it's because she trusts. But trust has a pulse. And it just might be hers. A story of shadows softened by light, of control given, not taken. Of healing whispered through touch, and love written in silence. This isn't where the pain begins. It's where it learns to rest. ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ : EMOTIONAL INTIMACY SUBSPACE SLOW-BURN HEALING TRIGGERING THEMES (VULNERABILITY, TRUST, PAST TRAUMA) 🔴 Tops: 🔴 1.

Somewhere Between Us
"Loving you is exhausting and hard. Give me a freaking break." he said. "Then why are you still here?", she whispered with a pale and trembling voice, holding back the tears that were willing to fall down her cheeks. Laura never wanted to fall in love with someone she couldn't touch - someone who only existed behind a screen, a voice borne by time zones and poor connections. But Evan made distance seem hazardous. He made every silence burn. "You could've stopped talking to me." she said to him once. "I tried," he said. "You just wouldn't leave my fucking head." Somewhere in between their late-night phone calls and the words they never spoke, something real started to take shape - delicate, wrong, and beautiful. But love such as theirs was going to shatter. It was constructed on waiting, on jealousy, on all the things they couldn't have. And maybe that's the cruelest kind of love - the kind that feels infinite, but ends the moment you wake up. Until Aiden walked in - the man who was real, present, and everything Evan couldn't be. Aman who had actually been beside her even when she broke his heart, even when she drifted away to chase someone who made her heart ache in ways she never imagined. "He doesn't deserve you. please wake up Lau." Aiden told her. "Then why does it still feel like he's the one?" she whispered. "You're crazy." Somewhere between what she wanted and what she needed, Laura lost control. Between time zones and heartbreak, between messages and memories, something between them had shattered. Because sometimes, love doesn't ask you to choose between two people - it asks you to choose which part of yourself you're willing to destroy.

It was just the pause before everything changed.Complete
