"25 ways you saw me" by Djouldé
Some love stories don't begin with love. They begin with survival.
Ayanna doesn't trust easily - not people, not peace, and definitely not love. With a past full of silence, screaming, and the kind of pain no one talks about, she's mastered the art of staying invisible. But everything shifts when Kai - her brother's friend with kind eyes and a quiet soul - starts to see her.
He sees the way she holds herself together. He hears what she's not saying. And the scariest part? He stays.
As the world around them gets louder, Ayanna and Kai find moments of stillness - on swing sets at sunset, in passing glances, and in the spaces between words. But when love begins to grow in the cracks of their friendship, Ayanna must decide if she's willing to let someone all the way in... or keep protecting her heart the only way she knows how.
"25 ways you saw me" is a slow-burn, emotionally layered story about first love, unspoken pain, healing, and the quiet kind of romance that feels like coming home.

Aaliyah Morales is weeks away from marrying a good man. A man who loves her. A man who isn't Christian Yu. Christian- her childhood best friend, the boy who grew up beside her, the artist whose name now lights up billboards, the one she never quite let go of. When he returns just in time to perform at her wedding, everything she's been trying to bury comes crashing to the surface. Between whispered memories, late-night visits, and almost-confessions, Aaliyah must decide: is love about the promise you made, or the one you never spoke aloud? A slow-burning, emotionally rich story of what-ifs, heartbreak, mental health, and the ache of letting go. - 🍒Concluida

Ava & Liam: What it means to stay
Ava never expected her last year of high school to start with a stranger changing everything. Quiet, unpredictable, impossible to read, Liam walks into her life like a storm she didn't see coming. He hides behind sarcasm and long sleeves, drifting through school like he's just passing through. Ava tells herself not to care. But then he looks at her. And she sees it, the pain he tries to bury, the secrets he pretends don't exist, the loneliness he carries like a shadow. When they're forced to work together for a class project, Ava slowly discovers the truth he hides from everyone else: Liam doesn't let people close. Because the last time he did... it destroyed him. What begins as awkward teamwork turns into late-night conversations, shared moments, and quiet confessions neither of them meant to say out loud. They're not supposed to fall for each other. They're not even supposed to be friends. But some connections don't care about rules. As Ava gets pulled deeper into Liam's world and the complicated, fragile life he tries so hard to manage, she realizes there's more at stake than just her heart. Because Liam's past is darker than she ever imagined. And the truth waiting for him is something that might change everything. This is a story about two people learning to trust again... about staying when it's easier to run... and about finding light in the one person you never expected. A slow-burn, emotional romance about healing, secrets, and the kind of love that makes you brave.Concluida
WHERE WINTER BLOOMS
Sometimes, first love isn't a person. It's the first time someone truly sees you. Nathan sings in silence. No one knows he does. No one asks why he stopped shining. Ryan pretends he's fine. No one notices he's breaking inside. A paper plane connects them. An empty theater listens. And in the middle of the world's noise, two boys find in music a language more honest than words. But growing up hurts. Loving hurts more. And the fear of disappointing those who should protect you can be louder than any melody. This story is for those who've ever felt like they didn't belong. For those who carry invisible wounds and still dare to dream. For those who know that love doesn't always shout... sometimes, it just sings.
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.

Kayla had it all mapped out-study hard, chase her dreams, and keep her heart out of the equation. Love wasn't part of the plan. It never was. But then she met him. A single glance. A shift in the air. And suddenly, the life she thought she wanted didn't feel complete anymore. She told herself to stay focused. That her goals came first. But he made her laugh when she wasn't supposed to. He saw through the walls she didn't know she'd built. And with every moment, every quiet exchange, something began to unfold between them-something deep, real... and terrifying. She didn't know if it was love. She just knew it felt like everything she never knew she needed. All I Want is a story of unexpected connection, quiet longing, and the kind of love that rewrites everything. ❀•*+❀•ᴀʟʟ ɪ ᴡᴀɴᴛ•❀+*•❀ 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 : 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 • 𝟏𝟎 • 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏 𝐄𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 : 𝐌𝐚𝐲 •𝟏𝟖 • 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐Concluida
