Last published Mon, Sep 1, 2025
At Celestine International Academy, where ambition meets prestige and every student is chasing something-dreams, fame, or escape-two unlikely souls find peace in each other.
Jeo Ong-charming, loud, and every professor's favorite wildcard.
Aurelia "Lia" Reyes-quiet, guarded, and the new girl who prefers fading into the background.
They were never meant to talk.
But one writing club project changes everything.
No sparks, no butterflies-just the slow, steady beat of something real growing between them.
This isn't your typical campus romance.
It's late-night study sessions, awkward silences that turn safe, and feelings built one sentence at a time.
In a world full of noise, will they find refuge in each other's stillness?
Because love that burns slowly... burns the deepest.

The two meet under erratic circumstances, and find one another again in a much proper fashion. What becomes the haunting barricade of their connection are the heartstrings that are slowly withering inside Leone. (posted on AO3 @lomi11)
