"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?

🔁 What would you do if time gave you one more chance with the person you lost?
Would you love them harder?
Or would you let them go again-so they could live?

Found Again 🌙
After five years of silence, Nila wasn't expecting to see Aarav again-especially not in the same office corridor where their story had once quietly unraveled. She had learned to bury her feelings, to live with the echoes of love that never got to grow. But fate has its own rhythm. From shared glances to shared coffee, from unsent letters to late-night conversations, Nila and Aarav begin to rewrite what was lost. Not with grand declarations, but with the slow, aching honesty of people who've been broken-and are now brave enough to hold each other gently. This is not a love story about fireworks. It's about returning. About staying. About the quiet kind of love that asks nothing but presence... and gives everything in return. A story of second chances, soft tension, and the love that waited.Complete
