angst cancerlovestory gayness love romance sad-ending unrequited

Pearl's sister is gone. The man who should have been family vanished. And now, she is left to navigate a life she never asked for.

Then she meets him-emerald eyes, ash-blonde hair, and a smile that makes her forget everything, if only for a moment.

Borrowed Light tells Pearl's story: a bittersweet journey of love she cannot have, grief she must carry, and the fleeting moments that illuminate even the darkest days.

The perfect servant, the perfect stranger by GHOST_ISGONE77

Pearl has always been by Rose Quartz's side. She wasn't just made to serve-she chose to. Through rebellion and exile, war and peace, Pearl stood as Rose's sword, her confidante, her constant. She was precise, devoted, perfect. Then came Greg Universe. A stranger. A human. Loud, awkward, utterly ordinary. And yet, Rose laughed with him. Touched him. Looked at him like he was something new. Something precious. Now Pearl watches as her world begins to crack. Rose keeps secrets. Greg lingers too long. And Pearl, the perfect servant, finds herself drowning in a jealousy she can't name and a fear she can't voice: what if she was never more than a tool to the one she loves? What if this human-a man who barely understands what Rose is-can offer her something Pearl never could? As the tension rises, so does the question Pearl refuses to ask: If Rose can love a stranger... why didn't she choose me? A canon-divergent exploration of love, obsession, and quiet heartbreak set in the early days of Rose and Greg's relationship-from the eyes of the one who saw it all, and was slowly being left behind...

The Devil's Crybaby by Alywinter

A man stormed in with a gun. She was shot. She lived, but the part of her that trusted life didn't. After that, she became careful. She avoided crowds. Sudden movements made her freeze. She spent more time alone because it felt easier than being around people who didn't understand what had happened to her. Life became smaller, but it felt safer that way. Then one night, someone came for her. He took her from her bed without explaining who he was. He kept her moving, kept her close, and kept his distance at the same time. A man who lived by rules she didn't understand and fear she couldn't escape. Everything about him screamed danger, yet he never touched her without reason. Never spoke more than necessary. He lived for one person only. Everything he did was for his brother. His brother had lost an eye years ago because of him, and he treated that loss like something he could never make right. He followed his brother's orders without thinking about the consequences. When his brother wanted something, he made it happen. Eliza asked questions. Tried to understand what she had been pulled into. The man who kidnapped her protected her but never from the truth. In the silence he left behind, she started filling in the gaps herself. She told herself he wouldn't protect her if she didn't matter. She told herself that the way he stayed close meant something. When she finally learns the reason she was taken, it doesn't come gently. It strips away everything she believed and leaves her facing the fact that she was never chosen. She was a promise. A problem someone else decided to solve. Two brothers want different things from her. One wants to own her. One never planned to keep her. Around them is a world where violence is normal, where people disappear without anyone asking questions, and where some men hunt for reasons that have nothing to do with survival. This is not a story about being saved.

Threading Back to You by Rosebud1381

It's been eleven years since they were torn apart- Angela: a girl with a fractured heart, rebuilt by silence, grief, and stubborn hope. Rowan: not just artificial, not just assigned-but something more. Something real. A protector. A soul. In a world that told her to forget, Angela tried. But she never stopped listening. Not completely. Not when her memories still buzzed with static and blue light. Not when the thread between them never really broke. Now, in a city where nothing feels like home, and the past hums just beneath the noise, Angela feels it again-that quiet pull. Something's shifting. And somewhere out there, Rowan is waking up. A story of found family, fractured identity, and love that defies design, Threading Back to You is what happens when memory becomes map... and even the lost can find their way home.

Learning to Live by Love4lili

Screw it. I picked up the bottle of whiskey and cashed it. I got into my car and drove until I saw a bridge. I look down at the ocean crashing below. My heart started racing, so I took a deep breath and I sat on the railing. I began to gaze at the full moon. A cold gust of wind blew across my face and made goosebumps form on my forearms. I finally felt at peace, calm and free but the sound of a speeding car behind me jolted me back to reality. Then the events of my stressfuful day rushed on me like a whirl wind and I wanted it all to be over...
