On a listening ridge, a house waits out silence and time. Inside its walls lives Helios, a father and grieving widower, along with his two children: the fire son, Ithil and Anwel, the silent one ever at his father's side. And the house survives storms and seasons just as it also holds questions: about what's worth saving, and what must be seen, and what is its burden to bear tomorrow while yesterday still insistently clings.

Once the rift in the earth starts to move, the family has to face it together. Each member is gifted - crystal, scale, silence - and each must learn to navigate what cannot be taken back. Together with Rowan, Erian and Selyra they come to realize that keeping isn't about death-gripping someone in place but listening, shaping, opening doors gently without slamming them down outright.

A story woven of quiet determination, generational trauma and fragile hope, The House That Keeps: Tomorrow's Door is the story of a family being shown how to rise against adversity, how to question and wonder - and how to move "tomorrow" from behind a shield ... into an open door.All Rights Reserved

The Quiet Offering by anime_slut420

The gods chose them. But what if the gods lied? Cael's world runs on worship-every birth, breath, and death bound to divine light. He's never questioned it. Until his sister slips into an unnatural coma, and the gods demand a price for her salvation. Hunted by monsters, torn between loyalty and truth, Cael must decide: will he wield the sword that protects the lie, or ignite the flame that burns it all down? A tale of sacrifice, betrayal, and love in a world where gods wear masks, and faith itself can topple kingdoms. (Slow-burn, but once it ignites, it consumes.)

The Forgotten Flame: A Shalkira Story by KiaraHobby

Book One of the Listening Flame Series In a village that fears her very existence, sixteen-year-old Shalkira-a quiet girl born part-cat, part-magic-lives hidden away with seven siblings in a cottage whispered to be cursed. But when a stranger knocks at their door with promises of a magical school and truths untold, Shalkira's fragile world begins to unravel. As secrets stir in the walls and ancient forces awaken, Shalkira finds herself trapped in a place where illusions bend reality-and where her very identity may be the key to everything. Guided by a watchful fox spirit and haunted by the voice of a house that listens, she must confront buried memories, unravel layers of deception, and choose who she wants to become. But something is hunting her from the shadows-something that remembers her better than she remembers herself. And some flames... are not so easily extinguished.

all we can do is keep breathing by Klarix22

"Harry, I-I'm so sorry..." Louis stutters out, trying to keep his voice level and even, to portray a depiction of strength, but with the way Harry is looking at him, staring at him like he has a personal passage way straight to Louis' soul, it's so hard, nearly impossible. That simple opening phrase, that short introductory acknowledgement that is often rushed out so easily, painlessly, at a safe distance. Giving a doctor the ability to portray empathy without true emotion, without feeling the full brunt and sheer force of the underlying pain itself. But Louis feels it, he feels the crushing agony laced behind the phrase, he feels the weight of the painful words slipping from his lips, the cause and effect that the three-word expression holds. The distantly empty "I'm so sorry" that doctors throw out in self-preservation, isn't at all empty for him. Louis recognizes it, he understands it, he feels it. ✚☤✚ a fated story of two broken and battered boys who barely survived the unimaginable and how the love of one little brave girl defies all the odds and somehow puts them back together.

Ashes Between Us by TellingsInkTahreem

She is an artist of words and strokes- calligraphy her language, silence her companion. He is a firefighter-brave in public, burdened in private. Both carry battles no one sees, hidden beneath calm exteriors. Their worlds overlap in small moments, yet their hearts keep secrets locked behind closed doors. Two souls living close, yet miles apart, each fighting their own fire within. Next door, they lived. Wall to wall. Silence to silence. Two survivors pretending the past hadn't touched them. And between them? Ashes. Smoke. And something neither of them dared name. But love, like fire, begins quietly. With sparks. With moments shared in silence. With a word spoken softly in the dark. And a glance that lingered longer than it should. This is a story of how two people met between burning walls and learned to breathe again. Of how mercy quietly wrote their fate. Of how love didn't shout - it flickered, slow and sacred, until it became light. Turn the page. Let the fire speak.

till we meet again by wouvez

'dalam dunia ni ada satu perkara yang kita kena ingat. tak semua benda boleh jadi milik kita. even kita try hard sekali pun, dia akan tetap tinggalkan kita.' At twenty eight, Aira leaves everything behind, her job, her city, and a life that no longer feels like hers. Hoping for a quiet new beginning, she moves to a small town and rents a room in an old house owned by a mysterious elderly woman. There, she meets Rafi, a quiet, guarded university student who barely looks her way at first. But in that house filled with silence, strangers slowly become something more. They don't talk about their pasts. They just exist side by side, night after night, learning to breathe again. But this isn't a love story. Not really. It's about healing. About found family. About the way some people enter our lives to teach us how to let go. Because no matter how hard we try, not everything is meant to stay. written by, @wouvez 2025

Until The Last Breath "A Journey Of Love And War" by silent_mic1026

Published under Ukoyoto Publishing in August 6, 2025 ISBN 9789371829502 This is the story of a life truly lived. This is about choosing each other through the heartbreaks, the long silences, the pride, and the poverty. About a woman who carried the weight of the family with quiet strength, and a man who came back not just to say sorry, but to stay and fight for her. They didn't just fall in love, they grew in it. Through betrayal, disappointment, and dreams that felt too far away. Their love wasn't loud, but it endured. Even when the house was rented, the future uncertain, and the days heavy with struggle, they laughed in the kitchen, kissed in front of their grown kids, and kept choosing each other. This is a story of forgiveness, faith, and the kind of love that doesn't give up. A love that lasts until the very last breath.

Magic Made Me Do it by MelaninMagik

They say witches shouldn't interfere with mortal lives. Peyton Rowe never learned how to listen. When a teenage boy lies dying from a senseless shooting, Peyton breaks one of the oldest magical laws-the Witch's Rede-and heals him. But saving a life comes with a cost. His reckless act exposes forbidden power, draws the attention of his mentor, and awakens something dark that has been sleeping beneath the world. Now hunted by both the Conclave and a rising Coven of Malice, Peyton is thrust into a dangerous journey that spans worlds-guided only by his flawed magic, his defiant heart, and the two men who challenge his destiny: Alex, the former doctor who fears healing more than death itself. Khari, the mystical ruler of a hidden African realm whose faith in Peyton burns brighter than his crown. As Hellhounds prowl, gods whisper, and forbidden spells unravel reality, Peyton must face the truth he's long denied: he is heir to the First Mages and bound to the Spark-the source of all creation. But with power comes sacrifice, and when the people he loves are cursed with death, Peyton is forced to make an impossible choice between fate and feeling, love and loss, salvation and sin. Magic can heal-or it can ruin you. And for Peyton Rowe, it might just do both.

HASRET by talesby_sahiba

In a world where bonds are tested and hearts carry unspoken burdens, "Hasret - The Longing of Four Brothers" unravels the journey of four souls bound by blood, yet scattered by fate. The eldest, once the pillar of the family, walks away-misunderstood and wounded-leaving behind silence and unanswered questions. The second, barely an adult himself, steps into shoes too large, becoming the anchor, the protector, the silent warrior who keeps the family from falling apart even when he himself is breaking. The third, caught between loyalty and pain, becomes a rebel-not by choice, but by fear. He builds walls around his heart, believing detachment is the only way to survive. He yearns for his elder brother, but masks his longing behind anger and silence, terrified that love, once again, will leave him hollow. And the youngest-just seventeen-is a mirror of their chaos. Too young to understand, too old to ignore, he drowns in the storm of emotions he doesn't know how to name. Torn between the roles, he watches, listens, and waits-for healing, for clarity, for the day they'll all be whole again. At the heart of it all lies a silent Hasret-a deep, aching longing. A longing not just for the return of the elder brother, but for the return of something far greater: the lost warmth of their once-whole family. Though none speak it aloud, the ache binds them, shaping their choices, their silences, their love. This is a tale of brotherhood, of broken hearts and healing hands, of duty, loss, and the quiet hope that one day... home will feel like home again.
