Genre: Taglish | Time Travel | Angst-to-Comfort | Slow Burn |

"A love worth rewriting time for."

When Siena Caeli Moreau wakes up in her high school body, everything feels like a dream-except the memories she carries are real. Memories of Ezren Kael Alvero: the boy whose music once saved her, and whose loss shattered him beyond repair.

But in this second chance at time, Siena is determined to change the ending. Armed with fragmented dreams, a mysterious cassette tape, and a love that refuses to fade, she walks the fragile line between fate and choice. Every moment with Ezren feels borrowed. Every smile-precious.

Yet the past has its own way of catching up.

As they get closer, shadows of the original timeline threaten to tear them apart once again. And when the ultimate truth is revealed-that it wasn't Ezren who was meant to die-Siena must decide: will she risk everything to save him, even if it means losing herself?

HIDDEN AFFECTION by author_aryaa
22 parts Ongoing
A new story begins... and this time, it's not just about love it's about everything that love hides. Hidden Affection. A tale where emotions run deep even when they're buried beneath anger, silence, and duty. She's fierce, free spirited, and unpredictable a 24 year old with a heart full of spark, rebellion, and unapologetic dreams. He's mature, composed, and everything she swore she'd never fall for a 28 year old man bound by rules, reputation, and silence. They're nothing alike. She's chaos. He's calm. She questions everything. He follows structure. But sometimes, it's the opposites that burn the brightest when they collide. When their worlds crash into each other, sparks fly but not the pretty kind. It's messy. It's intense. And beneath all that chaos... something begins to grow something they both try to deny. A journey that starts with misunderstandings, cold stares, and unexpected encounters... A story where hatred slowly softens into something unspoken. Where boundaries blur. And hearts, unknowingly, begin to lean in. Tropes you'll find in this story: • Arranged Marriage • Professor x Student • Chaotic Couple • Slow Burn Romance • Opposite attracts This is not your typical romance. It's about stolen glances, denial, unsaid feelings, broken rules and hidden care and the slow unfolding of affection that was never supposed to happen. Hidden Affection - By @author_aryaa Creative Collaborator - @ehaawrites We can't wait to share this journey with you.
THE PORTRAIT OF YOU by delusionalworld01
40 parts Complete Mature
After a tragic accident destroys her career and reputation, Ava Vale walks away from the world of interior design and reinvents herself as a traveling restorer of forgotten art, she finds purpose in restoring what others abandoned. She hides behind brushes and varnish, far from the city that broke her spirit-until a call sends her to the crumbling estate of Caelum Thorne, a brilliant painter who vanished years ago. What she expects: a house full of decaying canvases. What she finds: a man still mourning the woman who left him... and a portrait that looks exactly like her. Same face. Same lips. Same haunting beauty. The only difference? The eyes. Ava's are brown. The woman in the painting-Evelyn-had piercing blue. When Callum sees her, he falls apart. "You came back to me," he whispers. But Ava is not Evelyn. She's not a ghost, not a muse, not the girl who left him behind. And yet... he paints her. Again and again. Desperate to reclaim her identity, Ava strikes a deal: She'll help him find Evelyn-if he hands over all of his art. But the longer she stays, the more she sees the man behind the madness. And the more Caelum paints, the more he sees Ava-not the memory. Until one day, Evelyn returns. And Ava must decide if she's strong enough to walk away from a man who never asked her to stay. But behind every portrait... a secret waits to be answered-why did Evelyn leave? A love story layered with obsession, identity, and betrayal. He spent years painting the woman who left. Until a stranger taught him how to love someone who stayed.

You loved me even when I didn't remember how to love you back. Naina Sharma thought college would be a quiet new beginning. But on her very first day, a familiar stranger says her name like a broken promise- and everything changes. Kartik remembers every moment of their past. Naina remembers nothing. Caught between fading memories, whispered secrets, and a love too powerful to stay forgotten, Naina must navigate a world that feels both brand new and heartbreakingly familiar. As pieces of her past return, one memory at a time-so do the people who never truly let her go... and the girl who wanted to take her place. But some truths were buried for a reason. And remembering might cost her everything. A story about memory, love, betrayal, and the fight to reclaim who you are. If you've ever believed in second chances, this one's for you.
