Where Dreams Remember: I'll Always be Here by rumahjane

Some dreams are just fragments - light and sound, fleeting and strange. But others... They settle into your chest like old memories, soft and impossible to forget. This is a story about one of those dreams. About a girl whose quiet heart began to remember a life she had never lived - not here, anyway. And a boy whose presence crossed time, space, and reason. A boy who said nothing at first... Only smiled. Only stayed. Together, they built a world between sleep and waking - a place of benches under cherry blossoms, of whispered comfort, of guitar strings and warm hands. And every time she returned, the dream knew her name. But the lines between dreaming and remembering began to blur. One day, she would open a photo... And realize it wasn't just a dream after all. Because when love is real - real enough to survive distance, silence, and the pull of two different dimensions - it doesn't disappear. It waits. It remembers. It protects. And it whispers... "I'll always be here."

In a quiet, picturesque village nestled between rolling hills, 17-year-old Lila struggles with the monotony of small-village life. A free spirit with dreams that stretch beyond the confines of her rural world, she yearns for connection and meaning. Enter the village's new 28-year-old schoolteacher, an enigmatic and kind-hearted man whose wisdom and passion for literature ignite something in Lila she's never felt before. Drawn together by shared intellectual curiosity, their bond deepens through secret conversations about poetry, philosophy, and the unspoken fears that haunt them both. For Lila, Elias represents the kind of life she dreams of-a world full of depth and beauty. For Elias, Lila's youthful energy reminds him of possibilities he thought he'd lost. But the reality of their circumstances is unyielding. In their close-knit village, where whispers travel faster than the wind, their growing connection teeters on the edge of scandal. Elias knows the consequences of crossing boundaries, while Lila struggles to reconcile her feelings with the knowledge that their love is doomed. As seasons change, their relationship becomes a bittersweet dance between yearning and restraint, where every fleeting moment feels like a stolen eternity. In the end, they must confront the truth: no matter how profound their connection, they cannot have a future together. But their destiny was joined in the end Falling Leaves, Fading Dreams is a poignant story of forbidden love, self-discovery, and the heartbreaking choices that come with growing up too soon. It explores the tension between dreams and reality, and how some connections, no matter how intense, are *meant* to last.

scar tissue. by Your_Apricity

In this world of vulnerability, how does one discover that true beauty often lies beyond the surface? _ _ _ _ _ A fragile tale of brokenness and healing.

"Remnants || by FauziyaKhan4

She thought she had already loved once and lost forever. The memories still cling to her like shadows-warm, painful, impossible to forget. But fate is cruelly kind. Two strangers under the same roof, two hearts quietly circling each other. He isn't the man she loved, yet he stirs feelings she promised she'd buried. Now she stands at the edge of choice: hold onto the remnants of a love that defined her, or risk everything on a future that might finally heal her.

Until Our Bodies Remember by AvaElorie

They thought they were done with each other. Years passed, lives changed-yet when they meet again, it feels like nothing ever did. The heart remembers. The glance betrays. The body refuses to forget. Now, face to face with the feelings they once ran from, they must ask: Was it ever truly love-or just a fleeting spark of youth? Memories can build a future... or tear them apart once more. A story of love's memory-and the spark that never dies.

DEDICATION by null

hollow souls by pearlescennnn

𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐈𝐂 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐈 is a mystery wrapped in darkness no one dares to unravel. Pain and sin have been etched into his skin, coursing through his veins like poison. Broken and battered more times than he can count, his soul carries silent scars few will ever see, scars born from horrors no one should survive. He was forged in cruelty, dragged through self-destruction and numbness, with death lurking just beyond his grasp since the moment his life slipped away. Salvation? He never wanted it. Sex was the only friend who stayed. 𝐋𝐘𝐑𝐀 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐄 was once radiant, a bright light in a dark world, but now she's a hollow shell of numbness and despair. What stole her spark left her empty, drowning in a sea of pain she can barely swim through. The world feels distant, like something she watches through glass, untouched and untouchable. Desperate to feel anything, she turns to the bottle and the burn of her own scars. An angel's face with the devil's tongue, she's sin personified, broken beyond repair yet still unyielding. Their lives are raw wounds, bleeding into each other with every fight, every reckless touch. They destroy and salvage one another in a vicious cycle - he feels too much, and she feels nothing at all. Together, they are pain made flesh, sin made real, bound by a fierce, painful love that neither can escape. Can two hollow souls find salvation in each other, or are they doomed to break forever?

And Still, I loved you. by ruins_and_roses

They were never supposed to meet again, but fate had other plans. They were never strangers. They just became people who knew everything about each other, Except how to fix what they broke. She loved him like it was the only thing keeping her from falling apart. He left like he couldn't feel it. Years passed. Cities changed. Names got softer on unfamiliar lips. But silence never erased the way they ended. And when fate threw them back into the same room, One bleeding, Other one breaking, The past didn't knock. It kicked the door down. This is not a story of falling in love. It's what happens after.

Shayad by rachna97

He thought he knew her story. He thought their paths were destined to cross, someday, somehow. But the truth waits in silence, hidden between fragments of memory and unanswered questions. What begins as a search for meaning slowly unravels into something darker-a love story shadowed by secrets, and a revelation that will break him when it finally comes to light.
