Before We Were Us is a heartfelt story about love, time, and the people we never truly leave behind.

In a quiet coastal town, Gwen Ricalde, a gentle art teacher who once loved the sea more than anything, crosses paths again with Kai Harper, the boy who taught her how to see the world through light and a camera lens.

Ten years ago, they were inseparable - two dreamers bound by salt air and sunsets, until life tore them apart. Now, as adults, they meet again under the same sky, carrying the weight of unspoken words, lost chances, and promises washed away by time.

Told in a dual timeline - shifting between Then (their youth and first love) and Now (their reunion after a decade) - this story weaves memories and the present into one emotional journey.

Through storms, letters never sent, and photographs that captured more than faces, Gwen and Kai learn that love doesn't always fade; sometimes, it just changes shape.

Bittersweet, nostalgic, and deeply human, Before We Were Us reminds us that:

Brutally yours by Inkiijita

To the quiet girls with stormy hearts. To the boys who feel too much but show too little. To those who were never chosen first - but loved like they were the last. This story is for the unseen, the unheard, the untamed. For every soul who thought they were "too soft" for this world - and found someone who didn't just see their softness, but protected it with fire. For anyone who still believes that love isn't always gentle - but when it's real, it is brutally honest, brutally fierce, and brutally yours. And most of all - To the one who dreams loud in silence: This is your story. You just haven't lived it yet.

LIZA: A Broken Became The Blade by Sangeylhamo22

This is not just a story. It's a journey into shadows, betrayal, and survival. Dawn of a Dream. Ashes of Trust. Fire of Vengeance. Liza's life was never meant to be this way. She wanted love, light, and freedom. But when the people closest to her turned into her nightmares, she learned the hardest truth-sometimes, silence kills faster than wounds. This novel is about more than pain. It's about strength. About a girl who was broken, but rose again-not as a victim, but as fire itself. Some may call her a monster. Some may call her a hero. But this is her voice. Her truth. Her war. If you've ever felt unseen, unheard, or silenced-this story is for you. Hey readers 💙 Thank you so much for picking up this story. I've poured my heart into Liza's journey-it's raw, dark, and full of pain, but also about strength and survival. I'd love to hear your honest feedback as you read. If anything feels confusing, too heavy, or doesn't flow well-please let me know in the comments. Your thoughts will really help me grow as a writer and make this story even stronger.

you were never mnie by LLorie180

For the ones who were once heartbroken For the ones who write to forget. You Were Never Mine* is a story about first love, last messages, and the silence that lingers in between. When Vi meets Noah in a theatre club, it feels like a script written just for them - until he disappears without a word. What's left is an unanswered text, a memory that still hurts, and a girl trying to turn heartbreak into something she can survive. This book isn't about forgetting love. It's about remembering it - and learning how to live when it's gone.

Night's embrace by nyxalandra_

I'm Nyx - a girl who loved too deeply and trusted too easily. She was my girlfriend. Then my sister. Then my heartbreak. When she left me for my best friend, I thought that was the end of my story. But then came Ash - a stranger who made me smile again. A masc with soft words and a broken heart of her own. I thought she was my healing, but turns out, I was just her distraction. Now I'm learning what love really means - not the kind that destroys you, but the kind you find within yourself when everything else falls apart. This isn't just a love story. It's a story about losing, loving, breaking... and finding myself again.

Liminal by keiAI_Angel

**"Liminal"** is a poignant and emotionally charged mini-novel that explores the complexities of love, loss, redemption, and the fragile threads that connect us to one another. Set against the backdrop of a remote island and the bustling city, the story weaves together the lives of two deeply flawed yet compelling characters-Alexander Grayson and Bella Cruz-whose paths intersect in unexpected and transformative ways. It is a deeply moving exploration of the human condition, asking difficult questions about guilt, forgiveness, and the possibility of second chances. It is a story about two people who find each other in the midst of their brokenness, and the fragile, beautiful connection that forms between them. Ultimately, it is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of love, even in the face of unimaginable pain.

Almost, Always 🍁🥀 by _velvetverse_

"Almost, Always" 🍁🌹 Some people enter your life like whispers...soft, sudden, and gone before you can hold on. She didn't expect to see him again. Not after years, not like this. Not when she had finally learned how to forget the boy who never truly left her mind. But fate isn't loud..it's quiet, casual... cruel. In a classroom filled with noise, their glances screamed stories. A slow-burn connection, unsaid words, and almosts that could've been everything. This is not a fairytale. This is a memory rewritten..with the ending she deserved.

All of The Girls by yours_or_mine

She knew he'd been in love before. Not just once, not just in passing. Real, deep, messy love. And maybe that should've been her sign to keep her distance. To not let herself feel too much. But instead, it made her pause. Because the way he talked about them-the girls before her- it wasn't bitter. It wasn't dramatic. It was quiet. Thoughtful. Almost gentle. He remembered birthdays, late-night calls, stupid little details no one else would hold on to. He loved them well. Or at least, he tried. And that's what messed her up. Because it made her want to fall even harder. And at the same time, it made her want to run. She wasn't afraid of his past. She was afraid that someone like him-someone who had already given so much-might not have anything left for her. Or worse, that he would love her the same way. And she'd fall for it, just like they did. And end up as another name he says gently, years, from now.

After Everything by sadiatamy

Prologue: Before the storm, there was softness. There was laughter in quiet cafes, late-night calls that turned into early mornings, hands tangled in each other like roots learning how to hold. There was a boy who made me feel seen, and a girl who still believed that love-real love-could be enough. We weren't perfect, but we were in love. The kind of love that feels handwritten by the universe. The kind of love you bet everything on, even when the odds start to shift. But the thing about love is that it doesn't unravel all at once. It frays. Quietly. Softly. One skipped detail. One unanswered question. One moment of doubt that grows roots while you're still convincing yourself everything's fine. This is a story about that unraveling. About the ache of being almost chosen. About trust that cracked before it broke. But it's also a story about resilience. About finding your voice in the silence. About choosing love-not just in someone else, but in yourself. Because sometimes the greatest love stories aren't the ones that come easy. They're the ones you fight for, walk away from, and learn to return to with open eyes. This is not just a love story. It's a reckoning. A healing. A reminder that sometimes, even in the aftermath, love still finds a way back. And this time, it's real.

Until the Stars Knew Us by Nnasirwarsihh

Some love stories begin with a spark. Theirs began with silence, distance, and the invisible pull of fate. Nova never believed in fairytales - until she met Hunter, the boy who felt like he had stepped straight out of one. With him, every moment was softer, every word heavier, every touch unforgettable. He wasn't just a dream; he was the answer to prayers she never dared to say out loud. But love like this isn't simple. It's fragile, tested by time, by fear, by the world outside their own. And yet, no matter how far they drifted, something always pulled them back - as if the universe itself refused to let go of what was meant to be. Because some bonds are unbreakable. Some hearts are stitched together long before they meet. And some stories... wait for the stars to finally recognize them. This is their story - of love, of longing, of a forever that was written long before they knew it themselves.
