Babysitting the Virgin Saint
A queer love story in the last light of Saigon
Saigon, 1970s - glamorous, volatile, and dripping with secrets.
Dung Tây - a street pimp-turned-informant with too many favors owed and not enough shame - gets hired to babysit the youngest son of a rich Saigon tycoon. No gang wars, no shady deals, just babysitting a quiet, well-dressed boy with a saintly smile. Too quiet, maybe.
When whispers of underground political activity begin to surface, Dung digs deeper and finds himself tangled in something far more dangerous than politics: falling for the boy he was paid to watch.
Set in the last light of Saigon, this is a story of queer longing, quiet danger, and the collapse of a generation that didn't know what to believe in anymore.

The unexpected
Von kills like she breathes-calm, cold, constant. Tahani doesn't just watch people die-she decides when. Vonn'asia, or just Von, is twenty-three and deadly as fuck. A storm with a trigger finger. Raised in blood, forged in silence, she's carved her name into the city's bones. She doesn't flinch, doesn't forgive, and damn sure doesn't fear. People say her name when they pray no one's listening. When she hunts, she doesn't leave witnesses-she leaves warnings. Then one night, bleeding and laughing like death ain't never met her, she runs into Tahani Aguado-a quiet girl in blue scrubs with hands too steady, eyes too knowing. Tahani is twenty-two. Mysterious. Methodical. And vicious behind closed doors. Her body count's a whisper, her smile a trap, and her heart? Frostbitten beyond repair.

Made her act against every rule she's lived by. Now the city's about to bleed. Two women built from violence. Both with pasts that could burn empires down. One running from chaos. One becoming it. What started with a single bullet explodes into something brutal-lust, loyalty, betrayal, and bodies stacking too fast to count.

Dead, Girl
She ventured to Manila to understand minds, yet her own was already in disarray. Buried tweets, half-deleted group chats, and a past name whispered behind bathroom stalls-she thought she had left it all behind. But when anonymous messages start hitting too close to home, and someone references the mole behind her ear that never made it to social media, the past doesn't just knock. It breaks in. What starts as casual paranoia evolves into a deliberate act of defiance. Skipping classes, adopting a persona she once thought was buried, and scouring confession pages at midnight for evidence that she still exists in someone's narrative. This isn't about a boy, a breakup, or a bad grade. It's about seizing control. And she's weary of pretending to be fine. Now, she's rewriting the narrative-with silver earrings, locked phones, and dirty secrets as armor. This isn't healing. This is hunger. And if the watchers want a show, she'll give them something they won't forget. A psychological coming-of-age tale told in fragments, confessions, and emotional whiplash. Manila isn't ready for her-but she's prepared to burn the whole city down.
