Aayah Lorraine Mendoza is a 21-year-old girl whose smile lights up every room, whose humor draws people in, and whose athletic charm turns heads effortlessly. But behind her seemingly perfect exterior hides a life filled with trauma, secrecy, and a heart that's afraid to love. Bisexual and struggling with her feelings, Aayah wonders if love is even real-or if it's something she'll never experience. Haunted by a toxic family, her only comfort comes from her sister and best friend, Iza.
Rin Gabrielle Flores, 27, is everything Aayah isn't: confident, loved by everyone, and full of warmth. Bisexual and open to love in her own way, Rin is a strict instructor by day but a kind and nurturing soul beneath. She has a life others envy-wealth, family, and the freedom to love openly.
When Aayah and Rin cross paths, their worlds collide. One, incapable of love; the other, overflowing with it. Can a heart so closed finally open? Or will the chasm between them prove too wide?

Ms. Maldini
Professor x Student | wlw | Age Gap | Genius Girl x Academic Enigma Maya is a brilliant mind with a past her memory chose to bury. She's eighteen, but she's not starting college-she's wrapping up her Master of Science in Quantum Physics. She enrolled at fourteen, a prodigy who moved through equations, theories, and sterile labs where everything made sense except, maybe, herself. Her focus is fixed on the path ahead-a PhD, more research, more certainty. But that fragile balance begins to shift after one unexpected encounter. During a routine session with her therapist, she meets a woman who, without warning, walks back into her life as a professor in a class Maya was never supposed to attend. Coincidence, consequence, or something else entirely? Quantum physics doesn't offer answers for the way a soul trembles. This is a story of blurred boundaries and buried memories, of forbidden tension and the quiet gravity between two women on opposite sides of a classroom. A slow burn. An ethical tightrope. An impossible pull that feels just as chaotic, just as precise, as the laws that govern the universe itself.

Good Luck, Claire!
Claire has everything a high school student could ask for-good grades, friends, parents who believe she is perfect. But perfection comes at a price. And her name is Aurora. One confession that cannot be taken back. And a fountain that still remembers their names. -- This is not a slowburn story. It is a story about two worlds that once collided and now, two years later, are colliding again, but with fire. A story based on songs. WLW
SEE RIGHT THROUGH ME
" 'Cause if I know you see me falling, You'll be right there to pick me up" Liyah never meant to fall this fast. She's the shy-but-outgoing type - the kind of girl who laughs things off, bites her tongue, and lets stuff slide just to keep the peace. Communication isn't her strong suit, and standing up for herself never came easy. But when Kayzon walks into her life, everything she thought she knew about protecting her heart gets complicated. Kayzon's got his own story - one written in pain, loss, and walls too high for most people to climb. His past made him hard, quiet, and guarded, but somehow, Liyah gets past the surface. She makes him feel seen again. Safe, even. What starts as late-night conversations and lazy afternoons in her dorm turns into something deeper, something neither of them expected. But when two people carrying their own kind of hurt collide, love doesn't always heal - sometimes, it exposes. Did they move too fast, or did they just find each other at the wrong time?![I'm Not Her [GL-Sapphic]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/381658651-256-k585788.jpg)

What He Left Behind
This wasn't Cody Lim's first funeral. Cody Lim never imagined having to bury his younger twenty-three-year-old brother, Clarence. He thought he was through with burying family members, but the universe had dealt him a shitty hand. This time, guilt plagued him more than he thought, knowing he had willingly walked away from his brother six years ago-a relationship he could no longer rekindle even if he wanted to. When Ezra Davey had learned of his roommate Clarence's heart condition, he had begged him to reach out to his estranged brother before time ran out. Ezra had been lucky to have six great years with him, but he didn't expect he'd have to make the harrowing call that Clarence's heart had given out before either brother could reach out. Death had been the guillotine of a relationship Cody could never rekindle, but it's what Clarence left behind that makes the journey of moving on a little easier. -A Novelette- -A Gen 3 2023 entry-Complete
