Whispers Into Words
Yuna Lee left Seoul to study English in the Philippines, carrying her parents' high hopes and her own quiet fears. Words felt heavy on her tongue, mistakes embarrassed her, and confidence seemed out of reach-until she found unexpected support in two people: Alyssa, the best friend who cheered her on through laughter and late-night study sessions, and Professor Aiden Miller, the calm mentor whose quiet encouragement pushed her to believe in herself. What begins as a struggle with language grows into something more: a journey of finding her voice, conquering stage fright, and standing tall on her own. Along the way, Yuna discovers not only friendship and courage-but also a subtle connection with the professor who believed in her more than she ever believed in herself. From the nervous bus ride where it all began to the global stage years later, Yuna's story is one of perseverance, dreams, and the unexpected ways hearts can meet across cultures.Complete

Ode to Remedy
WARNING! - This story contains really dark themes you may not want to read if you are sensitive to such things!

But that was all until he had been diagnosed with a Panic Disorder. That was until it really began.Complete

Not the boy who saved her from a playground meltdown. Not the best friend who became her first kiss... her first love... her everything. But when he moved across the world, he left her with nothing but a broken promise and a gold star necklace she still wears like a scar. She swore she'd wait. He swore they'd find each other again. But two weeks after he came back, he was holding another girl's hand. Now it's war. And Lisa's done playing soft. Noah thought leaving Lisa behind would protect them both. He didn't expect to fall apart without her. Neither did he expect to learn the truth-something so brutal it made him question every moment they'd ever shared and see her as a stranger in the skin of the girl he once loved. And he definitely didn't expect to fall into someone else's arms trying to forget the taste of her lips. But Lisa's not the shy girl he left behind. She's colder now. Hotter, too. And every time he looks at her like he hates her, he wants to grab her and make her remember everything. This isn't just a breakup. It's unfinished business. First love never dies. But it might just destroy them both. πππππππ/πππππππ ππππππ : β₯ mature/sexual themes β₯ alcohol references β₯ language β₯ mild violence β₯ SLOWBURN! word count- 130,000 started- July 07 2023, Finished- May 2025 Copyright all rights reservedComplete

β‘β The Unseen β β‘
He liked the rain. It was just like him. And it was the only thing that looked at Raven and actually saw Raven. Not 'Raven Eli'. Not the perfect golden boy. Not the optimistic leader with dazzling smiles. Just the quiet, aching mess underneath. Raven had a lot of problems. A lot. Issues in the depths of his psyche hidden so deep he wasn't sure he could remember them all anymore. There was one he wasn't letting go of though. The one that had started to seem more like a coping mechanism with each passing day. He just.. can't stop saving people. Helping. Smiling. Even when it's killing him. At one point he'd wished he could be both rain AND thunder. Loud, angry. Proud. But then the universe answered him by bringing a boy who shows up to school bleeding and bandaged then tells anyone who asks to mind their own damn business. Chaos in human form. He made Raven feel so frustrated and out of sorts. So why did it seem like adding Devon to the mix was just going to make the whole mess tip over and spill? And why was Raven not stopping it? ~This is not a love story. It's a drowning.
