The Candle That Burned in Rain is a story of quiet resilience, forbidden tenderness, and the kind of love that flickers where no light should exist.
In the war-torn world of Ashivelle, where magic defines worth and those without it are left behind, two strangers cross paths in a forgotten border town.
She's a woman learning to live after years spent as someone else's possession.
He's a soldier returned from a war that nearly unmade him.
Neither of them has magic.
Neither of them is supposed to matter.
And yet, in the hush between candlelight and rainstorms, something fragile begins to grow.
Told with aching intimacy and lyrical prose, The Candle That Burned in Rain explores what it means to be seen in a world that refuses to look-when healing takes root not in grand gestures, but in the quiet, unspoken moments that refuse to be extinguished.

The Ones we Shouldn't Love: ACT I
It starts fast-like lightning striking dry earth. What begins as a spark becomes a fire neither of them can contain. It's the kind of love that keeps you up at night, wide-eyed and breathless, not out of fear, but because you can't bear to miss a single moment. It bruises the heart in places no one sees, but never breaks it-never harms it. Just leaves fingerprints, soft and lingering. Leaving would be easier if love ever truly left. But it doesn't. It lingers in the walls, in the sheets, in the silence between words. One heart clings to memory, loving what was. The other leans into the unknown, loving what might be. And somewhere in between, love becomes a duty-an unspoken promise, heavy and unshakable. All she wants is quiet now. Not the silence of loneliness, but the stillness of peace. A place where her heart doesn't have to choose between two kinds of love-only rest in the safety of her own.
Yours in Silence
"It was never meant to be more than tea." A healer with too much heart. A prince with too much pride. They were friends first - a quiet bond built over shared cups of tea, soft laughter in an apothecary, and banter that lingered far too long beneath the surface. But some feelings refuse to stay buried. And when war calls them both away, the fragile thread between them begins to fray. Now, on battlefields and in borrowed hours, friendship becomes a shield they can no longer hold - and longing becomes the one thing neither dares to name. Friends to lovers. Slow burn. Banter sharp enough to bleed. Longing written in every silence. You didn't sign up for this much pain. Neither did they.Lengkap
HELD "The Weight She Carried. The Love He Kept."
Rain has always carried invisible scars-buried beneath long sleeves, quiet smiles, and dreams too fragile to say aloud. As a scholar in a prestigious company, she keeps her past locked away and her eyes on the future. Then she meets Liam. His laughter feels like safety. His eyes, like memory. What begins as a quiet connection becomes something warmer, deeper-something dangerously close to love. But Liam isn't just a man. He's the CEO of the very company that altered the course of her life. And when buried truths begin to surface-revealing a history neither of them expected-it becomes clear they were never strangers to begin with. Now, with secrets rising and judgment closing in, Rain must decide if her heart is strong enough to stay. And Liam must choose what he's willing to risk-for the only woman who's ever seen beyond his name. A story of survival, second chances, and the kind of love that heals in the quietest places-where scars once lived, and hope dares to grow.
What If We Drown ✓
Ashlyn hasn't spoken a word since the age of eight, and her heart's never felt more protected. But, when the confident and ever so charming Derek stumbles into her quiet little world, her emotions-and forbidden desires-have never been so loud. ***** For twenty years, silence is all Ashlyn Holland has known. Haunted by the memories of her father, and the harrowing song of the ocean that stole him from her, Ashlyn maintains a safe distance from the rest of the world. Treading carefully the sea of fear and anguish that surrounds her, Ashlyn is determined to do all she can to protect her heart from such a tragic loss striking again. In silence, she grieves. In silence, she is safe. In silence, she finds the strength to breathe. But the silence can only last so long... Derek Moreno is charming and devoted, and quick to see through every wall Ashlyn erects. With his arrival in town, defences fold and walls begin to crumble, the songs of her heart reaching new heights. Together, they crest twin tides of fate, the silence she'd once sought engulfed by his gentle touch, and the whispers of a love thought impossible. For the summer, Ashlyn welcomes the noise. The disruption. But, the ghosts of Derek's past will no longer remain silent, and their deafening power has the potential to drag them both into a current strong enough to drown them amidst their heartache.

Shadows of the Abyss
[Sequel to Light of the Heavens] (Posting to RoyalRoad) The Phoenix Queen died in the ashes of her birth, they say, and all traces of her life remain a mystery lost under cover of darkness. Empires shift on their thrones, eagerly watching for advantage. In the north, Miroslav the Wise has sent soldiers and blood mages to breach an ancient bastion of magic known to most as the Vale of the Undying. They assemble like pieces on a wizard's chess board, but little do they know that there hides in the stillness of elven woods an echo of a wrath that almost destroyed the world. The exarchs are moving, reinvigorated by the recovery of a devoted servant, one whose soul swims in the Devouring Dark. To walk along those shadowed, maze-like forest paths is madness or worse. The powers within have shaken off the stupor of ages and lay in wait for the brave and the brilliant, for the fools and false-hearted. For a fire-speaker chasing a lost spark of love, an orc warrior facing his past, a mage hand-picked by the Wise, and her two devoted spellguards, the pressure is on to save what they love before the icy maw of Winter can rob them of everything. **Trigger-warning for abuse.**
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.
