Love Her For Both of Us // CaitVi // Arcane // wlw
Vi wasn't looking for anything. Her late night café shifts were quiet and predictable. The same faces. The same city lights. Then Evelyn started showing up. She never said much. Never touched her coffee. Always stared at the skyline like it meant something only she could see. Vi tried not to notice, but Evelyn lingered in her thoughts. She was calm, distant, but not cold. Familiar in a way that didn't make sense. Vi told herself it didn't matter. But she found herself waiting for the quiet footsteps at closing time. For the silence between them. For the questions she wasn't ready to ask. She didn't know it yet, but Evelyn was only the beginning. There was someone else waiting. Someone she could be with. Someone who could love her back.
Their First, And Last
They say everyone finds love at least once. But what if... she never did? She didn't stop believing in it- she just never got it. Not the kind you read about. Not the kind that stays. She loved deeply, silently, and selflessly... but life never loved her back the same way. And he-he wasn't searching for anyone. He didn't even know what love looked like until he looked at her. And suddenly, he just knew. This isn't a story of second chances. There was never a first. This is the beginning they never expected- when two lonely hearts crash softly, and build a kind of love that feels like home for the very first time. It's not her last... It's her first, too. And maybe... finally... her always.
A Dance Of Blades and Hearts

But what happens when she finds more than she bargained for, in the pair of eyes she was meant to hate the most.Complete
Almond
"Some people teach you how to speak again. Others make you wish you'd stayed silent." _____ Almond A quiet love. A buried past. A story that will leave you aching. She doesn't talk much-not about the things that matter. Not about the names she still can't say aloud. Not about the night that changed everything. She just wants to breathe without breaking. To disappear into the background and not be noticed. But He notices her. Gentle where others push, patient where others pry-he doesn't ask her to open up. He just stays. And sometimes, that's louder than words. But love is never simple. And even the softest hearts have storms waiting inside them. "A soft love story wrapped in ache, healing, and unspoken words. Walk with me through the quiet chaos of two broken hearts trying to find their way. You won't regret it." -----
