Thought you had to be talkative and social to run a café?
Ephemerial works differently - and for good reason: its owner is one of a kind.
In a quiet corner where the air smells of tea and old memories,
Eirlys, a soft-spoken young man with a broken voice, serves drinks laced with silence.
He doesn't say much, but he sees.
And above all... he watches.
A story of quiet encounters, soul fragments,
and the kind of beauty only silence knows how to reveal.
A quiet cafe. A boy who speaks little but sees everything.
Ephemerial is where souls meet, and silence tells the truth.
Note : As english is not my native language, I use Deepl to help me. There might be some mistakes. If you're French, I recommend reading the original French version, even if my writing style might slightly differ between both versions.
✦ Note 2 : This story was inspired by my Miqo'te character in FFXIV, but stands fully apart from the game universe. No references to FFXIV will appear.

[LETTERS FROM THE NARRATIVE VILLIAN] A quiet different type of experimental writing style where our Knights experience everything alongside us. Come with an open mind, or leave with it feeling more assured of yourself that you're correct in your opinions. On the matters of story. Well, let's just say it'd be better if they went into that gentle night quietly. But I suppose that in a world gone indifferent you have to be willing to get M.A.D to raise even the littlest thing of defiance against inevitability. They refuse the opium of indifference for the pain of choosing to do what's right. --------------------- The Souls. The Players. The Individuals. BRAVO - Cruelty and bullying are you good points. Bully others into submission. Strength is Willpower. Weakness is Anger. BON VIVANT - Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die. Try to enjoy life as long as it lasts. Strength is Love of Life.

Second Chances [Lesbian]
I let out a soft Mmm and instantly opened my eyes to see her looking at me with her head slightly tilted to the side and an amused smile playing on her lips. "Do you always have that reaction to things that taste good?" The possibility of a double meaning to her question wasn't lost on me and it surprised me, making me cough. I cleared my throat before answering. "Well, it depends.." I answered carefully. "On what?" She leaned forward slightly with what looked like an almost mischievous glint in her eyes. "On what I'm eating," I fired back sounding a lot more confident than I felt. Her eyebrows went up slightly. *** When Ren stumbles upon a job opportunity, she never thinks that it'll completely change her life. Meeting Cameron offers her something she thought she'd never get.. a second chance. Little does she know that it will also mean finally finding herself.

・┆✦ʚNeglection Affectionɞ✦┆・(Girl X Girl)
・┆✦ʚNeglection Affectionɞ✦┆・ "A gothic, quiet girl meets a flirty, cheerful cupid - and love gets complicated." Nyxara Vale lives in a world of silence - a forgotten daughter in a golden family, raised on neglect and left to find comfort in midnight walks, rainstorms, and her own thoughts. She's the kind of girl who hides behind dark eyeliner and quiet strength, the kind everyone overlooks until it's too late. Then comes Cupidia Lovelace - bright, talkative, and annoyingly radiant. A cupid with a broken past and a smile that could melt walls. She's everything Nyxara isn't: hopeful, loud, and unafraid to love. When these two collide, it's not just opposites attracting - it's light meeting shadow, warmth meeting frost. Cupidia wants to teach Nyxara how to feel again... but some hearts weren't made for healing. 💔 A gothic, emotional tale of loneliness, affection, and the messy kind of love that can save - or destroy - you. 🌹 (Fun fact! This is an fan fiction of my upcoming comic Echoveil)
Troubled love
"I do. I do believe you." He cuts me off. "I'm sorry for accusing you I just, I don't know. At the time I thought it made sense." "Don't apologise. I deserved your outburst guilty or not. I deserved a lot more than that." I excuse honestly. "Why do you have to make this so hard?" He groans. "Sorry?" I ask. "You. You're making this difficult." "I didn't mean-" "That right there. Quit being a gentleman. You are making it so hard to hate you right now." "I-" I get cut off by his lips on mine. His hands hold onto either side of my face as he roughly kisses me. I close my eyes and let him lead. He falls into my lap and I wrap my hand around him and hold his hips.Complete

Unveiled Sessions
𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝘘𝘶𝘪𝘦𝘵. 𝘚𝘩𝘺. 𝘕𝘦𝘳𝘥. 𝘗𝘳𝘶𝘥𝘦. That's what everyone calls me while turning up their noses at me. Even if it's true, I don't care. I have a plan. Keep my head down and graduate from Huxley High to get into my dream university. Well, that was my plan. Until something shattered everything I had worked for. Until I started partnering up for an assignment with the daughter of the family who owns the town. She has the world at her feet. Popular, talented, out of everyone's league, with good looks to match. Everyone craves a piece of her and worships the ground she walks on. Except me. What begins with a school project starts invoking feelings in me, awaking something deep and irresistible in me. 𝘍𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘐'𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦... I have never truly existed, until her. The things she makes me feel are filthy. Obscene. But, I soon start begging for more, begging to a degree that scares me as much as it excites me. 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘴𝘰 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥? 𝐁𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐘 𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐄𝐋𝐄 𝘘𝘶𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘣𝘦𝘦. 𝘊𝘩𝘦𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯. 𝘚𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘩. I always had everything under control, nothing happened I didn't plan for. Until an unforeseen obligation turned my life upside down. 𝘜𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘳.

It should have been a piece of cake. I'm Bailey Steele after all, there is nothing I can't handle.
My Hitwoman
"I finally passed by the last alley before the one my apartment was situated on, when suddently my heart stopped. My body freezed and my ears were ringing from the loud sound of the end. The smell of death, fear and blood. It all happened so soon, too soon. She was just standing there watching as the life was flowing out of the guy's body that was now laying on the cold concrete, lifeless. Her tall figure... so powerful, confident. I watched everything wide eyed and then, the world had stopped. Her head suddently turned towards me and, oh my God. I could feel those sharp, green eyes burning a hole right through my skull in the darkness. I held my breath and quickly hid behind the wall but it was too late. I was foolish. I should've ran away." ... Grace Miller, a clumsy second-year psychology student, never expected to witness a murder-or to cross paths with Amy Carnell, a cold, powerful woman who never lets anyone in. They couldn't be more different. But fate has a twisted way of pulling opposites together. What happens when light collides with shadow? Read to find out :)Complete
