π§ Sometimes, love isn't loud. Sometimes, it's a quiet song that never leaves your heart.
She was the silence. He was the sun.
Aria grew up in silence-an introverted girl afraid of the world, her hands trembling and her heart scarred by a painful past.
She thought she was destined to live in the shadows, until she met Lior-the boy filled with warmth, laughter, and the kind of light that quiets all her fears.
They couldn't be more different-he's the sun, she's the dusk. But by the sea, where the sun sinks into the waves, their souls begin to meet halfway.
A story of healing, love, and learning to shine again-because even after all the darkness, still she glows.

The Night Before the Sun
As they navigate high school hallways, old scars, and ghosts they don't speak of, they're pulled back together slowly, painfully, beautifully. But love like their's doesn't come easily. Especially when the past refuses to stay buried, and the world keeps asking more than either of them are ready to give. Erebus Nyxson has always lived in the shadows not by choice, but because it's where he was placed. With parents who can't stand the sight of him and a heart full of things he was never allowed to say, he's learning to stay quiet. Cold. Alone. Feared. Until her Thea Solara moved in next door with paint on her fingers, messy braids, a mind full of stories and color no one else could see, and sunlight in her voice. She was bright without even trying. She doodled in the margins of her notebooks, read until her eyes ached, and look at people like she already knew their heart. Then sixth grade ended in tragedy. Her mother, gone. Her father, arrested. And Thea vanished with no warning taken across the country to live with the only family left. Ery never stopped thinking of her. Never stopped keeping her in quiet memories, in things no one would understand. Now, years later, Thea is back. She's different. Quieter. There's a shadow in her eyes that wasn't there before. But the light? It still shines. And it wrecks him all over again. This is a story about the quiet kind of love; the kind that waits in the dark for the sun to rise.
Nobody's girl
Iris is seventeen. She's quiet, she's tired, and she's used to being invisible. At school, the bullying never stops. At home, her mother barely notices she exists-unless it's to criticize her. There's no one to lean on, no safe place to land. And the pain she carries? It's not just in her mind. It's carved into her skin, buried under skipped meals, and hidden behind fake smiles. Every day, Iris wonders how much longer she can keep going. Then he shows up. Loud. Reckless. The kind of boy who doesn't care what anyone thinks. He's everything she isn't until, somehow, he notices her. Really sees her. But when your whole world has taught you you're nothing, what do you do with someone who suddenly wants to know everything?
The Tides That Change Us
Luella's life is falling apart. Her dad is gone. Her first love broke her heart, humiliating her in the process. Her plans vanished with one rejection letter, and now even her summer plans have gone to shit. But when her best friend's brother, who broke her heart, shows up with his two friends in tow, old wounds resurface. Living under the same roof forces them all to face the past. Especially Luella, who can't seem to stay away from the last person she should want, her ex's best friend. Some summers break you. Others help you piece yourself back together.
Somewhere Between Then and Now
Arin never meant to fall apart. Not loudly. Not dramatically. Just quietly - one bad day at a time. At fourteen, he feels invisible at home, disconnected at school, and trapped inside a mind that won't slow down. His friends want popularity. His parents want perfection. Arin just wants to breathe. After a night where everything cracks, Arin begins the slow climb back - through music, drawing, new friendships, and the quiet moments that rebuild a person when nobody's watching. A story about breaking, healing, growing, and learning to stand again. Not perfectly. Just honestly. A deeply emotional coming-of-age journey for anyone who's ever felt lost between who they were and who they're becoming.
In the shadow of diamonds (The Diamond He Never Saw)
He never said he loved her. But sometimes silence cuts deeper than words ever could. Sienna never walked away-not really. She stayed, she waited, she felt, while Nicholas mastered the art of saying nothing. But in the stillness between them, something fragile began to fracture. Now, with their paths crossing again in the shimmer of winter and the shadows of old secrets, Sienna finds herself caught in the quiet pull of what could've been-and maybe still is. Leonardo offers her clarity. Warmth. A promise without conditions. But love isn't always a rescue-it can be a reckoning. Torn between a man who speaks in silences and another who says all the right things, Sienna must confront the past that shaped her and the future she dares to want. Because some hearts bruise without breaking. Some goodbyes are never spoken. And some shadows shine brighter than diamonds.Complete
WHERE WINTER BLOOMS
Sometimes, first love isn't a person. It's the first time someone truly sees you. Nathan sings in silence. No one knows he does. No one asks why he stopped shining. Ryan pretends he's fine. No one notices he's breaking inside. A paper plane connects them. An empty theater listens. And in the middle of the world's noise, two boys find in music a language more honest than words. But growing up hurts. Loving hurts more. And the fear of disappointing those who should protect you can be louder than any melody. This story is for those who've ever felt like they didn't belong. For those who carry invisible wounds and still dare to dream. For those who know that love doesn't always shout... sometimes, it just sings.
You Talk Too Much
Nicolas didn't want friends. Didn't want attention. Definitely didn't want her. But then Lina sat next to him. Every. Single. Day. She talked through the awkward silences, laughed at her own jokes, and asked questions he never answered. She was chaos in sneakers and bubblegum lip gloss - and he wanted nothing to do with her. ...Until he did. Because somehow, her noise started drowning out the thoughts he didn't know how to escape. And her voice became the only thing that made the silence bearable. This isn't a love story. Not at first. This is a story about a boy who lost his spark... And the girl who wouldn't let him disappear quietly. β Nicolas β Lina β "You Talk Too Much" β High school setting β Healing + chaos + slow-burn (Btw I forgot to add that there will be no smut of any kind in this story. Maybe an innocent kiss or something but nothing else)
Soft Girls Don't Stay Soft
Aria kept her feelings quiet, her circle small, and her loyalty real. She never said she loved Jace - but her best friend Savannah knew. And she took him anyway. Now Aria is learning that silence can be power, and softness? A choice. When your heart breaks quietly, your glow-up gets loud. And soft girls... don't stay soft forever.Complete
