She loved.
She lost.
And then... she found him again.

Aleah thought she had moved on. Life after Julian's tragic death left her scarred but standing-barely. Years later, Edwin, the boy she once played tennis with as a child, reappears. This time, he's no longer just a memory. He's real, constant, and quietly pulling her heart back to life.

But timing was never on their side.
Complicated pasts. Broken families. A love that waited too long.
And a secret that changes everything.

This is a story of what-ifs, quiet longing, and finding love in the most unexpected season of your life.
Because sometimes, the heart remembers what the mind tries to forget.

When Mikha's family moved to Cebu, she, the introverted and aloof girl, met Aiah, the outgoing and warm-hearted girl with a smile that could light up any room. Despite their differences, the two became best friends, inseparable and bound by a unique connection. However, life had other plans, and the bond that once felt unbreakable began to fade.

It's about figuring out who you are, coming out, and learning to trust and open your heart again despite the pain you experienced in the past. NOTE : This is a SUPER SLOW BURN story with tons of ANGST & PINING. If you have the patience, then go ahead and read it. :)

Little Light (GxG) by special_anonym

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.

Bound To Love You by superemilia

"You came into my life out of nowhere, Eliana, like a storm I never saw coming, and turned everything upside down. You stirred feelings in me I didn't even know I had. And now, just like that, you want to walk away? After everything? If that's really what you want, then fine... but before you go, I swear I'll make you fall in love with me. Maybe then, you'll realize this is where you belong... with me." After graduating from college, Eliana is ready to start a new chapter of her life. She dreams of joining her older sister abroad to help support their family, but everything changes when tragedy strikes. Her best friend, who is heavily pregnant, gets into a terrible accident on her way home. Miraculously, the baby survives, but her best friend doesn't make it. Now, Eliana is left devastated and burdened with an overwhelming responsibility. Her best friend had no other living family, so the newborn is left in her care. With no stable income, no solid plan for her future, and no experience in motherhood, Eliana is forced to make an impossible choice. The only hope she sees is to track down the baby's father, a man she deeply resents. She knows exactly where to find him. This man, as far as she knows, took advantage of her best friend during one of her lowest moments. The thought of facing him fills her with anger and disgust. But for the baby's sake, she gathers the courage to confront him. Their first meeting is tense. Eliana's heart is heavy with judgment and pain. What begins as a reluctant partnership turns into a tangled web of emotion, truth, and healing. Now Eliana must face the most difficult question of all: Can she trust the man she once hated... not just with the child, but with her own heart? P.S: This story is taglish. Hope you like it. 💙🤗

And Still, I loved you. by ruins_and_roses

They were never supposed to meet again, but fate had other plans. They were never strangers. They just became people who knew everything about each other, Except how to fix what they broke. She loved him like it was the only thing keeping her from falling apart. He left like he couldn't feel it. Years passed. Cities changed. Names got softer on unfamiliar lips. But silence never erased the way they ended. And when fate threw them back into the same room, One bleeding, Other one breaking, The past didn't knock. It kicked the door down. This is not a story of falling in love. It's what happens after.

You Talk Too Much by han8n_akayourdarling

Nicolas didn't want friends. Didn't want attention. Definitely didn't want her. But then Lina sat next to him. Every. Single. Day. She talked through the awkward silences, laughed at her own jokes, and asked questions he never answered. She was chaos in sneakers and bubblegum lip gloss - and he wanted nothing to do with her. ...Until he did. Because somehow, her noise started drowning out the thoughts he didn't know how to escape. And her voice became the only thing that made the silence bearable. This isn't a love story. Not at first. This is a story about a boy who lost his spark... And the girl who wouldn't let him disappear quietly. ✅ Nicolas ✅ Lina ✅ "You Talk Too Much" ✅ High school setting ✅ Healing + chaos + slow-burn (Btw I forgot to add that there will be no smut of any kind in this story. Maybe an innocent kiss or something but nothing else)

FLEEING AND FEELING by 1000TalesbyHer

"Between friends, unspoken feelings can feel like a fragile thread pulled taut; one denies its existence while the other hides behind its delicate weave, both yearning for the courage to unravel what lies beneath." Ian and Julian, long-time best friends, find themselves in a complicated situation following a wildly inebriated, somewhat unconventional evening, which disrupts their lives. An awkward situation arises! To complicate matters, Julian poured out his emotions that night, only to later dismiss it as an error. Typical melodrama, wouldn't you say? However, Ian possesses an exceptional memory. While Julian hastily dismisses the incident, Ian's keen recollection paints a different picture. He senses Julian's insincerity and detects a discrepancy. Ian isn't one to evade unresolved issues, preferring to confront them head-on. As they deal with the fallout of their actions, conflicting perspectives, and clashes in temperament, emotions run high. The situation intensifies as they confront their feelings, leading to revelations about family secrets and youthful indiscretions. Layers upon layers of undisclosed information, intertwined with a sprinkle of adolescent recklessness and folly. Fleeing and Feeling is a captivating coming-of-age tale of love, secrets, and the often absurd journey of young adulthood, reminding us that sometimes even the messiest of situations lead to the most honest answers. @Mature.

Almost Is Never Enough - Book 1 by authorinvienna

Ivy Marquez believes in love the way some people believe in prayers-quietly, stubbornly, even when it hurts. She's soft-hearted, too hopeful for her own good, and swears she won't fall for boys who'll ruin her. Christopher Gonzales wasn't supposed to be different. A boy with a broken past, a heart that still writes letters to someone who won't read them, and eyes that linger too long when he thinks no one's watching. But the more Ivy sees him, the more she realizes he's not the rumors. He's the kind of boy who makes her laugh until she forgets she's afraid of getting hurt. The kind of boy who makes her believe love is worth the risk. And for the first time, Christopher wants to risk it too. But love has bad timing. Cameron Palmer-her ex-knows exactly how to ruin things. And when Ivy finds out about the ghost of Christopher's first love, she starts to wonder if she's just another almost for him. She tries to forget him. He prays she'll come back. Because Christopher may have loved once before-but Ivy? She's his last.
