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.

Where the Storm Found Us ( Daniela Avanzini x FemReader)
The story opens with the storm. Daniela is trapped in it, soaked, trembling, and lost in panic. Her fear of rain isn't just about the car crash, though. There's another hidden truth tied to that night: someone was there when it happened. Someone she never forgot. You. Back then, you were just a kid too, standing by helplessly as the accident unfolded. You saw the wreck, saw the flashes of ambulance lights, saw Daniela being pulled away screaming for her parents. You never knew her name, but that memory has stayed buried in you for years, etched into the sound of rain. Unlike her, you grew to love it, because it made you feel close to that memory, close to the girl who survived. Now, years later, in the middle of a storm, you stumble upon her again without realizing it at first. The curly-haired girl curled into herself, shaking in the downpour, it's her. The very same girl from that night. When you approach, she doesn't recognize you. To her, you're just a stranger. But something about her face, her eyes, snaps you back to that rainy night long ago. The plot unfolds with this haunting question: what if the person you were destined to meet was someone whose pain you had already witnessed, without either of you knowing fate would pull you together again? As the story moves forward, you're torn between telling her the truth, that you were there the night her life shattered, or keeping it hidden so she doesn't see you as part of the trauma. The rain then becomes more than fear or comfort, it's the thread that's always tied you both together. ❗❗PAUSED❗❗

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.

"Who are you, huh?! A best friend?! Or what?!" Her words felt like flashes of my own words that I had said before. I gulped down hard. Did she just say that?! No. I would've heard it wrong?! The tension float over my blood, stretches each of my nerves strongly, but I didn't flinch because it hit against me too weak in contrast to her words. Months of distance made me....no one? Huh?! "Ofcourse. I- I am~" My insides weakened. I couldn't gather enough energy to throw the word out. "I- I stand as no one for you. But...hm, but I thought atleast we could be honest with each other?!" I said. "O" She nodded and held her breathe. "Alright! If you want me to be honest, then listen. Stop hitting on every chance you get, Jacob!" Another drop of tear escaped her eyes, hot and convulsed with anger. She suppressed her sobs down and shuddered vigorously. "Jus- just stop making me feel that way." I stood there...that felt like recalling last night, where she walks out of it so smoothly once again. How? My eyes fills in with glassy layer of tears. Although it was just a drop of water with trapped hurricanes of my feelings within it. My fingers curled tight into a fist, as if it was trying to hold onto whatever she'd say.

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
After Everything
Prologue: Before the storm, there was softness. There was laughter in quiet cafes, late-night calls that turned into early mornings, hands tangled in each other like roots learning how to hold. There was a boy who made me feel seen, and a girl who still believed that love-real love-could be enough. We weren't perfect, but we were in love. The kind of love that feels handwritten by the universe. The kind of love you bet everything on, even when the odds start to shift. But the thing about love is that it doesn't unravel all at once. It frays. Quietly. Softly. One skipped detail. One unanswered question. One moment of doubt that grows roots while you're still convincing yourself everything's fine. This is a story about that unraveling. About the ache of being almost chosen. About trust that cracked before it broke. But it's also a story about resilience. About finding your voice in the silence. About choosing love-not just in someone else, but in yourself. Because sometimes the greatest love stories aren't the ones that come easy. They're the ones you fight for, walk away from, and learn to return to with open eyes. This is not just a love story. It's a reckoning. A healing. A reminder that sometimes, even in the aftermath, love still finds a way back. And this time, it's real.Complete

Who Will You Save? //Draft 1//
„The sunset is beautiful, isn't it?", she asked, the sound of her voice strained, as if she hadn't been talking for a long time. The boy sat next to her, staring forward into the leaving sun. He didn't even look at the young woman when she spoke. Yet still he could feel himself, only a small part of himself, longing to hear more of her voice. It used to calm him down, singing soft lullabies whenever nightmares haunted him, or telling stories to him and his brother. It was the only comfort he could rely on. And he ended it before it could poison him. Silence filled the vast empty space. Only a single Rowan tree swayed in the non existent wind, its branches reaching down where the two figures sat, sheltering them from any harm that may come their way. It was time to leave this place again. He couldn't stay here for long. He hugged his knees tight, unconsciously swaying back and forth as he did so. Maybe, if he hugged himself hard enough, he could stay here and listen to one of her stories again? Just one short story. His efforts were in vain. He realized that when his hands and feet started to disappear, just like they have done thousands of times before. There was no way things could continue the way they were now. He knew he had to stop, but a selfish part of him was still holding onto that hope that everything would be okay once he opened his eyes. „Auntie,", he said, preparing his next words. „I... really prefer sunrises." 0101011101101111011100100110110001100100011100000110110001100101011000010111001101100101011100110110000101110110011001010110110101100101Complete
