a summer writing retreat by the sea.
you weren't looking for anyone. not really. just somewhere quiet to write, to ache, to not be watched. but then you meet him-kit. curled on a windowsill with a book in his lap and the kind of quiet in his eyes that feels like home.
this is a story about soft boys and sea salt. about being seen. about the things we don't say until someone stays long enough to hear them.
maybe it's not a love story.
maybe it's a *truth* story.
no need to be brave. just true.

Silence And Honey
Silence and Honey I talked enough for both of us. He listened like he might never let go. Runerth Castellion was the boy with the sharpest eyes and the quietest heart. He didn't talk much-didn't smile much either. But he always showed up. For me. I had known him since we were twelve. Since I decided I was going to be his friend, whether he wanted one or not. I was the chatterbox play school teacher who sings songs about dinosaurs and glue sticks. He was the grumpy heir to a mafia empire no one talks about out loud and a CEO of a heritage company. We were never meant to fit but we did and we did not at the same time. All that until the fate tested us. Tested me. In a world where healing feels impossible, our bond became a refuge, a promise that no matter how dark the night, dawn was waiting. This is a story about the strength found in vulnerability, the power of a patient heart, and the beautiful, messy journey toward a love that saves.

The Quiet Hours
Before the world wakes, there's a pocket of quiet. Just coffee. Madeleines. Soft glances that last too long. Two women-colleagues, friends, not quite lovers-share stolen mornings in a classroom three flights above reality. What begins as ritual becomes something more: tentative touches, shared breath, words unsaid. And when the quiet isn't enough to contain them anymore... everything tilts. A slow burn. A love story. A study in restraint, longing, and what happens when "almost" finally turns into "yes." So I basically wrote a fanfiction of my own life. With more orgasms and fewer consequences. A highly fictionalized account of what I would have done if I were braver, sluttier, and less employed.Complete
Somebody Like You
Step one: graduate. Step two: accidentally sleep with your best friend. Step three: get trapped working summer camp together because your other best friend has no sense of boundaries. Now Enya and Maddie are sharing a cabin, pretending nothing happened, and doing a terrible job at it. It's hot. It's messy. It's gay. * * * The summer before college was supposed to be chill; sunburns, iced lattes, maybe a mild existential crisis. But when Skylar signs everyone up to be counselors at a middle school camp, Enya and Maddie find themselves trapped in a mosquito-infested nightmare... together. One small problem: They may or may not have ACCIDENTALLY hooked up after graduation. And Maddie is convinced Enya planned the whole thing. Between canoe races gone wrong, s'mores that end in arguments, and bunkhouse confessions they swore would never happen again, both girls are about to learn that feelings aren't something you can logic your way out of-or yell your way past. Because sometimes the person who drives you craziest... is the one who feels like home.
Almond
"Some people teach you how to speak again. Others make you wish you'd stayed silent." _____ Almond A quiet love. A buried past. A story that will leave you aching. She doesn't talk much-not about the things that matter. Not about the names she still can't say aloud. Not about the night that changed everything. She just wants to breathe without breaking. To disappear into the background and not be noticed. But He notices her. Gentle where others push, patient where others pry-he doesn't ask her to open up. He just stays. And sometimes, that's louder than words. But love is never simple. And even the softest hearts have storms waiting inside them. "A soft love story wrapped in ache, healing, and unspoken words. Walk with me through the quiet chaos of two broken hearts trying to find their way. You won't regret it." -----
Fed to The Dogs: (König x Reader)
You didn't know how you got where you were now. One minute you were in your apartment, and the next you were laying, chained to a concrete wall with a major headache and no memory of what happened. You were able to move a little bit, but not more than a few feet. You could hear cheering through the concrete walls that surrounded you. What you couldn't see, however, was the mountain of a man watching you from the shadows of that room. (König x Reader)Complete

She thought she was destined to live in the shadows, until she met Lior-the boy filled with warmth, laughter, and the kind of light that quiets all her fears. They couldn't be more different-he's the sun, she's the dusk. But by the sea, where the sun sinks into the waves, their souls begin to meet halfway.

Between Then & Now - Anaya & Miko
Five years had passed since Anaya and Miko stood together on the sun-drenched beaches of Barbados, hands entwined, hearts full of dreams for a future they thought they would share. The island breeze had whispered promises, the kind only love can make. But somewhere between the laughter and late-night talks, the connection began to fray. Miko, unable to choose, had let her go-his heart torn between Anaya and someone else. And so, they parted. No bitter words, just the quiet weight of unspoken regret and unfulfilled promises. They moved on with their lives, building new worlds around the pieces they had left behind. But today, in 2025, fate had a different plan. At a book signing, surrounded by strangers and stacks of novels, Anaya never expected to see him. Yet there he was, standing across the room, his presence familiar yet foreign, like a ghost from the past. For a moment, the noise of the event faded, and all that remained was the magnetic pull between them. Time had changed them both, but in that instant, it felt as though no days had passed at all. Miko's gaze met hers, and in that charged silence, everything they once shared seemed to rush back. Now, the roles had reversed. Miko, the one who had let go, now longed for a second chance. He wanted her back. But would Anaya give him that chance? Could she trust him again after all this time, after all the hurt? Or was the distance between them too wide to cross?Complete
