"Before you, music was just a sound. With you, it became a memory."
Zephaniah Eros Velarde, a quiet and introspective high school senior, would rather hide in music rooms than in crowded cafeterias. For her, music isn't about fame-it's survival. Her only anchor? Her best friend, Caius Emery Ilustre, the only person who knows her past and her passion.
Enter Aziel Lirienne Castañeda-the charismatic, wildly popular vocalist of Reverie, the most admired university band in the country. He's bold, brilliant, and everything Eros isn't.
Their worlds collide at a university music exchange program. Eros joins the summer arts program after getting a scholarship recommendation. She didn't plan on meeting Aziel. And Aziel didn't expect a quiet girl with a cassette player to challenge everything he thought he knew about music-and about himself.
As melodies turn into memories, and lyrics begin to blur with reality, they'll face one question:
Was it ever just music?

Finding Demi- A Novus Orsa Story
Jay is a bit of a misfit. In fact, if it was the 1950s, you may even call her a 'greaser' with her signature leather jacket and '78 Trans Am. She spends her days working as a drum and guitar teacher at the local music store, and her free time playing guitar in her garage band, Novus Orsa. Beneath the surface, though, she hides a secret that has nearly ruined her life once, already. You see, Jay is a closeted lesbian in a military town. Between her ultra conservative parents and the ever-swirling rumors caused by the betrayal of her ex-best friend, Jay is ready for her senior year to be over before it ever starts. On her first day, however, a chance encounter (or collision) changes the trajectory of her life. Demi is a transfer student, upset that her father's job has torn her away from the city, her boyfriend, and the life she knows. It hasn't been an easy adjustment to such a tiny, boring town, and she doesn't even have a car to get away. The first day of her senior year is going terrible, and to make matters worse, her clumsy feet have her stumbling down the stairs. Two worlds collide and what awaits her below has her reconsidering everything she thought about this town. *Note- This story takes place in 2010 and is loosely based on my own high school experience. The more I got into writing it, the more I realized how much has changed in 14 years.Complete

Your heart was empty, it has been for 15 years and you kept coming back to that same old place you were told to stay.

On the same day, 15 years later, a 'supposedly' typical day of waiting for the loved ones in your past, your path crossed with a beautiful Latina sitting on a bench not that far away from where you are. That changed the course of your life.Complete
Signed by Silence (Sais)
Colet Vergara x Fem Reader At 28, Professor Nicolette "Colet" Vergara has built walls taller than any lecture hall. Cold, nonchalant, and notoriously strict, she's the university's most feared instructor-intelligent, sharp-tongued, and believed to be incapable of love. Rumors swirl in hushed tones, but no one dares get close enough to confirm them. She teaches like clockwork, lives in routine, and has convinced herself that emotions-especially love-are distractions she can live without. But her world shifts when a transfer student arrives. Y/N, a 19-year-old reincarnated girl born deaf but bursting with warmth, light, and creativity, is enrolled into a mainstream university not designed for PWD students by her doting mothers, Malory and Collie. Despite the odds, Y/N navigates her silent world with courage, always carrying a sketchpad and pen-her words flowing in ink and image. She's quiet but vibrant, gentle yet resilient. Their paths collide-literally-when Colet mistakes her silence for defiance and yells at her in class, only to be met with blank eyes and a soft, confused smile. The truth stuns her: Y/N can't hear her rage. And somehow, that silence says more than words ever could. As the semester unfolds, what begins as a reluctant apology slowly turns into stolen glances, unspoken understanding, and deep conversations in writing. The cold professor finds herself softening against all logic, and Y/N, in her quiet grace, begins to stir emotions Colet thought she buried long ago. But their growing bond comes with shadows-the age gap, strict university rules, and Colet's own fear of love. Can Colet risk everything she's built for a girl who listens with her eyes and speaks through her hands? Or will silence be the only thing left signed between them?
Accidentally Yours. Season 1
Harsha : "Come in." He said, not even bothering to look up from his work. He was wearing a beige linen suit with a crisp white shirt underneath.Okay, not bad," I thought, even though he looked hot. Not that I would ever admit it, of course! Akshu : "Yes, sir, do you need something? You called me in the middle of the celebrations-not that I'm complaining or anything." I clearly stated it sarcastically, showing my displeasure at being called out of all the classroom representatives. He finally looked up and locked his gaze on me, staring without blinking for what felt like minutes. We held each other's eyes, as if time itself had come to a standstill around us. His intense gaze held something I couldn't quite describe, and slowly, he stood up, still saying nothing. The air between us crackled with unspoken tension. He slowly began to take steps toward me-step, step, step... I instinctively started to back away, gulping as he closed the distance between us, striding toward me like I was his prey. He finally reached me, pinning me against the wall, and just as I was about to say something, he leaned in closer......... Harsha : "Shhhhhh." I was scared, my heart racing like a drum. Suddenly, he leaned in closer, his face inches from mine, and...

The Next Page (Ang huling pahina) [Siyete]
Sheena Catacutan x Fem reader At 21, Sheena Mae Catacutan lives life like a dance-fluid, loud, and full of light. She's the kind of girl who walks into a room and makes it feel like summer, all sunshine and laughter, the bubbly jokerist everyone leans on. A dancer since she could walk and the emotional glue of her chaotic circle of friends, Sheena hides her deepest fears behind rhythm and punchlines. She's never known silence, never questioned her joy-until she stumbles into the university's forgotten library wing one rainy afternoon. There, covered in dust and time, is a book with no author. Only a title etched in fading gold: "The Next Page." Curiosity trumps reason. She opens it. Inside, a story unfolds-a dancer named Sera, all sunshine and sass, meets a quiet girl named Gia, a cancer survivor who hides her body and brilliance behind oversized hoodies and self-doubt. Sera sees her. Pulls her into the light. Teaches her how to dance again, how to live again. It's beautiful, heart-wrenching, eerily... familiar. Too familiar. Sheena keeps reading, chapter after chapter, drawn into the uncanny parallels-Sera's jokes, her moves, even the way she argues. It's her. And Gia? Someone she hasn't met... yet. Not until a few weeks later, when she crosses paths with Y/N Ricalde-Vergara, a soft-spoken girl with a voice she barely uses and eyes that carry the weight of someone who's fought wars no one saw. She's brilliant. Talented. Broken in ways she never talks about. And Sheena? She's instantly drawn to her. It should've been a meet-cute. But the moment Sheena sees her-really sees her-the book falls out of her bag. Same girl. Same smile. Same sadness. Unknowingly, Sheena has begun living the prophecy of the book she found. And every page that turns is a step closer to something beautiful... or something heartbreaking. Because some books aren't just stories. Some books write you.Complete
