"I'm not trying to die. I'm just... tired of pretending I'm fine."
After her aunt's death, Elise moves into the crumbling coastal house she left behind-a place where the furniture is mismatched, the windows sweat rust, and silence lingers like mold in the walls. She makes tea she doesn't drink. She fills prescriptions she doesn't take. She keeps breathing, because no one's asked her to stop.
Everyone thinks she's okay. She's very good at being okay.
But grief has teeth, and Elise is starting to feel the bite.
Milk and Honey and Lithium is a quiet, devastating portrait of a young woman unraveling in the aftermath of loss. Told in poetic prose with flickers of dark humor, this is a story about grief, identity, the performance of healing-and what happens when pretending becomes too heavy to carry.
For fans of books that leave you a little bruised.
Hi, I'm Emerald403 - this is a quiet little novel I wrote for anyone who's ever whispered "I'm fine" through gritted teeth.
It's about loss, tea, cats, and the long, slow ache of being left behind.
If you're looking for something soft, sharp, and a little sad... welcome.
Stay as long as you'd like.

VALERIE
He speaks as if he knows everything, he trips over his own tongue like the intelligent person he is. The lingering taste of vodka and whiskey taint his sinful chapped lips. When he walks he stumbles, he smells like nicotine and he's cold. Ice resides in his veins and heart but not even the hell like flames of hatred and anger burning within his mind can freeze over. She's sweet like honeysuckle. She's warm and physically beautiful with her long brown hair and different colored gaze. When she smiles, the entire world stops to look and stare at her. Yet underlying her forced smile and physical perfection, dwells the monster that is her mental illness that she cannot control. Being beautiful doesn't hide it either, only mass doses of prescription pills do. In which an 18-year-old who believes he hasn't much to live for leaves his small sleepy town in hopes of finding his mother who abandoned him years ago. All the while a 17-year-old girl with severe Manic Depression tags along in hopes of being distracted from her illness and to also find peace of mind and happiness elsewhere. ** Inspired by music, specifically The 1975, Lana Del Rey, and others. ** Rough draft in desperate need of editing, plot holes, grammatical issues, etc. * not cliche but cliche it has it moments, but also so many plot twists so idk yeah.

They Called Me a Tragedy
[Currently discontinued] I lost everything before I even knew how to live. Orphaned, cast into the care of relatives who never wanted me, I learned early that the world doesn't notice when you disappear. To everyone around me, I am quiet, polite, fragile. I stay in the corners. I smile when I must. People say I'm sweet, obedient, unassuming - perhaps they are right. Perhaps they don't see the ways I watch, the choices I make in silence. I move carefully. I observe. I wait. Some doors, once opened, are better left undiscovered. They called me a tragedy. Perhaps they were right - or perhaps they never truly understood.

shattered souls
𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐑𝐀 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐖𝐘𝐍 wears pain like a second skin. It's all she's ever known, etched into her bones, buried beneath forced smiles and hollow laughter. A walking contradiction: all sin and sorrow, smoke and shadows. Once passionate, once burning bright, now nothing but ash and ruin. She pretends well, too well, but behind the sharp tongue and unbothered eyes lies a girl screaming to be seen, yet terrified someone actually might. 𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐍 was born into a world already at war with him. Pain wasn't just a chapter in his life, it was the whole book. Raised in shadows, fed by poison, his lungs filled with smoke and silence. He never asked for love. He never believed he deserved it. Drugs kept the demons quiet. Cigarettes kept his hands busy. Until her. The only good card he's ever been dealt, fragile, feral, and just as broken as him. Together, Liora and Ares are destruction wrapped in desire. A love not meant to be touched, yet impossible to resist. It's messy. Chaotic. Addictive. The kind of love that tastes like sin and feels like home. It's the kind of love that leaves scars, and still, they keep reaching for each other, again and again. What happens when two shattered souls try to build something whole out of ruin?Terminé

FEEL
This is a novel for the brokenhearted. For those who can't stand the state of the world: the division, the hate, the money-over-everything mentality, the relentless push for more, more, more. The story confronts harsh realities-our dying planet, oligarchy, struggles with suicidal thoughts. If these trigger you, proceed with care, but you might find unexpected solace in sharing this journey with others wrestling with the same awareness. Because while I write of darkness, I also write of love, friendship, and perseverance. We are all in this together... like it or not. I post 5 chapters every Friday. I look forward to your thoughts! Synopsis: In a world where compassion has become a liability, Dr. Noonie Reyes studies what remains of human connection from the sterile safety of her laboratory. In our near future of environmental chaos and societal collapse, the System-an oligarchy ruling through surveillance, manipulation, and the illusion of choice-has perfected humanity's slow emotional starvation amid the ruins of civilization. Beyond the walls lies the Waste: scorched landscapes, desperate survivors, and a truth the System cannot contain. When a mysterious contagion escapes from the lab, Noonie becomes patient zero for something unprecedented-the return of empathy. As the infection spreads, transforming a corporate politician in a public display that shocks the nation, the System's architects realize their control is threatened by something they never anticipated: feeling itself. While authorities scramble to quarantine compassion, Noonie's awakening draws her into an underground movement fighting for humanity's emotional resurrection. With each new connection, she uncovers the true price of isolation and the revolutionary power of remembering how to care. In this haunting debut that echoes Orwell and Atwood, one woman's contamination becomes an entire society's salvation, asking: What remains human in us when we've been engineered to feel nothing at all?Terminé
Rascals
A story of a runaway heartbeat and the found family it dragged along. They move from place to place-half-lost, half-chosen-chasing quiet, hiding from the noise. It started with one girl trying to outrun the truth her family fed her, and grew into a mismatched group of escapees: her best friend, a boyfriend, two internet ghosts, and later, the ones who took the place of those who left. But people don't always stay. Sometimes they leave with a note. Sometimes they don't say anything at all. And sometimes... they come back. What happens when someone you loved left you for what they thought was your good-only to return when the damage's been done? What happens when grief makes room for someone new? And how do you know when the road you're running is finally home? --- Content Warning: •Themes of death, grief, abandonment •Found family & trauma bonding •Emotional and psychological triggers •Intimate/suggestive scenes (light smut)Terminé
