When two quietly broken souls meet in the noise of Los Angeles, they find something rare - a connection that doesn't need to shout to be heard.
Luca Hartley has always been the one to fade into the background - a soft-spoken bookstore barista and struggling artist with a quiet life built on careful walls. Nick Sturniolo, a rising YouTube star known for his warmth and openness, seems like everything Luca isn't: loud, confident, and impossible to ignore.
But when fate (and a chance encounter at an indie bookstore) brings them together, Luca begins to discover that maybe softness isn't weakness. Maybe it's the kind of strength you only find when someone finally sees you - really sees you - and stays.
A tender slow-burn romance about learning to trust, the courage in vulnerability, and the quiet power of being known.

Found Again π
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
You Talk Too Much
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. β Nicolas β Lina β "You Talk Too Much" β High school setting β 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)

One accidental meeting, one unexpected book, and one very long stare spark a slow, tender unraveling of their lonely routines. But can love bloom when life has taught them to hide the most vulnerable parts of themselves?Complete

Trapped In Love β
"C- Can you move b- back a little?" My words made him smirk and if it's even possible, he came closer. Why do I always have to stuck between him and the desk?! "Why? Am I making you nervous?" "No." I lied. Ofcourse, he was making me nervous. His eyes had the power to hold a person on his place and that's what his eyes were doing to me. "Really?" He asked, putting his hands on my waist and pulling me closer towards him. On instinct, I put my hands on his chest. I didn't like it. I didn't like the way my body was responding to his touches. "T- This is un- unprofessional." I choked out the words, but I wish I couldn't have. He brought his face closer, so close that I could feel his minty breath on my lips. My lips parted accordingly in shock. "Oh, is it?" He said, mockingly. Oh god! What have I gotten myself into? β’β’β’β’ Aaron Steele, the CEO of the multi billionaire Steele's Company was the eligible bachelor of 25.

Ashes Of Us
In a world where loyalty is fleeting and survival comes at a cost, how far would you go for the ones who broke you? After a mission gone violently wrong, fractured bonds and buried secrets rise from the ashes. Gray, scarred but unkillable, hides behind dark humor and deeper pain. Luca, cold and calculated, carries guilt like a weapon. When the two are forced back together, the past ignites-and so does something far more dangerous. As tensions erupt within the group and survival turns brutal, Gray and Luca must face what they've become... and what they still are to each other. Love, betrayal, and chaos collide. From the ruins of their past, only one truth remains: Some fires never die. Lowkey cried making this, so enjoy! Theres a playlist for this on Spotify, I don't know when it'll be finished though.
