Ninen Isabel Diaz finds solace beneath the old Narra tree, where it stands tall in her favorite place, leaves drift softly and whispers of wind that calms her soul. On a serene, quiet random afternoon, as leaves drift to the ground, as she narrow down her thoughts, fate intertwines her life once again with Charles Rav Delafuerte, the charming guy from high school, the first guy who make her feel something, her "almost" in everything.
In the gentle rustle of leaves, a whisper of memories floats by 'What if chances were like the leaves, Dancing in the wind, wild and free? Would we gather them all or let them fall like time?' for her it's the latter. Not everything can embrace the chances, maybe because you believe someone was more deserving to this chances or maybe because you're just scared, scared for the outcome. But will this chances gives Ninen the courage to embrace it? Or will this like the last time she let it slipped?
Under the dappled shade of the Narra tree, where everything started in the first place, they engage in light-hearted conversation, reminiscing about the past years, sharing laughter, and pondering the "what ifs" of their lives. The air is filled with a sense of nostalgia for Ninen and the warmth of the familiar emotions that pounded between her chest.
Will they find shelter in each other's hearts, or will the storm tear them apart again before they truly know each other's heartbeat? As the leaves continue to fall, so too the barriers between them.

"You know it won't go to the West," he said dropping his voice. "Maybe you're wrong. Who knows," she shrugged. Her shoulders had slumped but she had managed to not let any tears spill. "Baum knew what he was doing when he made the West wicked, Mary," he hissed. "The East was wicked in that book too, dumbass," Mary retorted. Jacob's hands went into fists to keep from pushing at his hair. The tree behind them began to shake slightly. The ground gave a tiny rumble. *************************************************** Mary's father recently passed. But she is finding out it might not have been from natural causes...

Bakit Hindi Tayo?
In a world full of loud declarations and grand gestures, Celestine Devara chose to stay in the background, writing poems that he would never read, and choosing him even when he never asked her to. Eli, the boy who felt like home, never promised forever. He smiled, held her hand, whispered warmth into cold nights-but never called her his. And maybe that was the most painful part, being almost his, but never really. When Mira, Eli's past, returned, Celestine quietly stepped back, like she always did. She waited for him to choose her, until she realized... hindi lahat ng pinili mo, pipiliin ka. When love becomes a waiting game, how long before someone finally walks away? In a world of almost and unsaid goodbyes, Celestine learns to walk away from the love that never chose her, and into the arms of the healing she didn't know she needed. Pero paano kung sa paglayo niya... doon naman sya hinabol ng taong mahal niya? Will she stay on choosing herself? or will she risk it all?

Wicked Game (OUAT Peter Pan Fanfiction)
!!!Undergoing Editing!!! *previously known as The Red Queen Effect* "It's strange what desires could make foolish people do. I'd never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you, And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you." ~ Wicked Game by Chris Isaak There were many times that I could remember hearing the stories about people falling in love or meeting their one true love. Stories that had allowed me to fantasize about meeting my true love, the one that fate had chosen for me. However, it seemed like it truly was never meant to be, according to my grandmother, "Love is a Queen's greatest weakness. Remember, my dear granddaughter, you are a Princess now but you will soon be a Queen who will rule with an iron fist and an empty heart." But was love truly a weakness? According to the stories that I have read and heard around the castle, love seemed to be something magical and incredible, especially if it was true love. So, how could someone determine it to be a weakness? It wasn't until I landed in Neverland that I had to find out the truth the hard way, in the most excruciating and heart-wrenching way possible. Yet, It was my fault after all, I decided to make a game out of it and someone else decided to use that to their advantage. If I was given the chance to change something from my past it would have been to prevent myself from all of the heartache that was to come. Maybe then I could have saved myself the trouble of having to rip out my own heart. But you know what they say, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." I am the daughter of the Evil Queen, the granddaughter of the former Queen of Hearts, there is no such thing as a happy ending for people like me. What a Wicked Game life plays. *Comments and votes are always welcomed. ** I do not own Once Upon A Time, only my characters Clara, Ravenna, Kingsley, and Flynn and any ideas for this story.Complete

Forget Me Not ( Daniela Avanzini x femreader)
Y/N grew up in a world where money was never scarce but affection always was. A college student from an average but comfortable family, she lives alone, her parents' support measured in bank transfers rather than warmth. Surrounded by books and routines, she carries herself like someone present in body but absent in spirit, never really knowing what it feels like to be truly seen. Then one night, in a small café lit by amber lamps and the hum of chatter, she notices her. Daniela Avanzini-dark brown hair tied back, hazel eyes bright even under exhaustion, a barista with a smile that somehow reaches further than the walls of the shop. Daniela's world is the opposite of Y/N's, money tight, responsibilities endless, but love abundant, her family's unwavering support stitched into every sacrifice she makes. Neither of them speak at first, but something lingers in the air between them. A glance too long, a smile too soft, the unshakable sense of déjà vu. Like they already knew each other in another life. As their paths intertwine. Quiet orders at the counter turning into conversations, then something deeper-they begin to discover the kind of happiness and warmth they both craved but never thought they'd find. But when Daniela's future is threatened by financial struggles that could send her back to her home country, they're forced to face the hardest question of all: Can love survive distance, or are some things never meant to last?
