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.
Kept.......(#1 of the Love series)
He wasn't offering kindness. He just didn't shut the door. I said I could cook. I lied. I said I wasn't a thief. I lied again. But for some reason, he let me stay. And that's when everything started to hurt less. Kai doesn't trust people. He trusts what they leave unguarded. Living on the streets has made him quick with his hands and quicker with lies. When he spots Elias - calm, unreadable, alone - he sees an easy mark. But Elias doesn't react the way he should. He doesn't panic. He doesn't question. He offers Kai a place to stay. No strings. No rules. No locked doors. Kai tells himself it's temporary. He tells himself it's survival. He doesn't expect to feel safe. He doesn't expect to start wanting to stay. And he definitely doesn't expect that staying will bring everything he ran from crashing back into his life.
Before Us, After Me
A story of love that bloomed, broke, and left her to rebuild from the pieces. They met by chance. Fell hard. Built dreams between kisses and promises. And then- the slow unraveling. This is the story of a girl who loved deeply and lost quietly. Of betrayal whispered through late-night silences and heartbreak that didn't end with goodbye. It's about watching him become someone else's, while she was still holding onto the version of him he used to be. But it's also about becoming. Told in six parts-Before Us, Becoming Us, The Distance, The Ending, After Us, and Becoming Me Again-this is her journey from first glance to final goodbye, and the love she found on the other side of letting go.Complete
Fed to The Dogs: (König x Reader)
You didn't know how you got where you were now. One minute you were in your apartment, and the next you were laying, chained to a concrete wall with a major headache and no memory of what happened. You were able to move a little bit, but not more than a few feet. You could hear cheering through the concrete walls that surrounded you. What you couldn't see, however, was the mountain of a man watching you from the shadows of that room. (König x Reader)Complete
My Baby (Sun/Moon x Reader)
From the very start, their autonomy was violently stripped bare. They were taken and held down and beaten to submission-enslaved and collared and owned. Years upon years drag, time wasted in the confinement of normalized abuse. They solemnly accepted that they'd rot away; their leg broken and long since stopped hurting, the infection slowly eating away their very own bones. It was too late for hope. It was too late for a miracle. Until it really isn't. (In which you get hit by a car, punch someone in the face, and self-sign yourself as a caretaker to two aliens.)
When the sky falls
It started with a storm. Not the one outside, though the thunder did shake the windows, but the kind that builds inside a heart when fear and silence collide. He comes soaked, frantic, aching with guilt. She shatters in his arms. In the quiet that followed, between whispered apologies and tear-soaked skin, something shifted. Something raw, unspoken, real. The kind of truth that couldn't be buried under fake smiles or half-meant words. And when morning came, with rain still clinging to the earth, they stood side by side, soaked in the storm, brave in the aftermath. This isn't just a story about rain. It's about what happens when the sky falls... and the right person stays.Complete
The Storm Inside
Some people come into your life like a gentle breeze and leave like a storm... or at least, that's what she believed. Elina thought she had lost him forever the boy who once felt like home, the boy who made her believe in love. But life isn't just about endings; sometimes, it gives you a chance to rewrite the story. A story of love, heartbreak, and finding your way back... when two broken hearts learn that maybe, just maybe, some goodbyes were never meant to last.
Falling Into Silence
Lyra's world feels like it's falling apart - a tangled mess of silent pain, suffocating loneliness, and a darkness she can't escape. Burdened by depression and haunted by her own mind, she's learned to hide behind walls no one dares to break. Then Elijah walks into her life - reckless, complicated, and broken in ways she never expected. With him, the line between danger and comfort blurs, and for the first time, Lyra wonders if maybe she can survive being seen. But healing isn't simple. It's messy, painful, and filled with moments that threaten to shatter her all over again. As secrets unravel and feelings ignite, Lyra has to decide whether risking everything for a chance at light is worth the fall. Raw, honest, and unflinching, this is a story about fighting to find yourself in a world that tries to break you - and discovering love in the places you least expect.
