Mira never planned to notice him - but somehow, she always did.
In crowded hallways, noisy courts, and busy classrooms, her eyes would always find Jace, the quiet boy who seemed to look back just when she wasn't ready for it. What started as a few stolen glances turned into something unspoken: soft smiles, teasing friends, and that strange feeling of being seen.
He wasn't loud about it. He didn't need to be. His calm looks and gentle reactions said more than words ever could. And even though neither of them had confessed anything, everyone around them could already feel it - that quiet spark growing between two people who kept pretending not to care.

‡† The Unseen †‡
He liked the rain. It was just like him. And it was the only thing that looked at Raven and actually saw Raven. Not 'Raven Eli'. Not the perfect golden boy. Not the optimistic leader with dazzling smiles. Just the quiet, aching mess underneath. Raven had a lot of problems. A lot. Issues in the depths of his psyche hidden so deep he wasn't sure he could remember them all anymore. There was one he wasn't letting go of though. The one that had started to seem more like a coping mechanism with each passing day. He just.. can't stop saving people. Helping. Smiling. Even when it's killing him. At one point he'd wished he could be both rain AND thunder. Loud, angry. Proud. But then the universe answered him by bringing a boy who shows up to school bleeding and bandaged then tells anyone who asks to mind their own damn business. Chaos in human form. He made Raven feel so frustrated and out of sorts. So why did it seem like adding Devon to the mix was just going to make the whole mess tip over and spill? And why was Raven not stopping it? ~This is not a love story. It's a drowning.
He spoke in Laughter, I answered in silence
She was the quiet one - the girl who carried everyone's secrets but spoke none of her own. He was the boy with the rabbit-like smile - loud, carefree, and impossible to ignore. In a world of whispered crushes, loyal friends, and secret betrayals, their story was never going to be simple. She told her diary everything, but never him. He laughed his way through life, never knowing the silence that held his name. But silence doesn't last forever. And sometimes, the loudest heartbreaks are the ones that were never spoken.Complete
Almost, Always 🍁🥀
"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.
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
Closer Than We Think (BxB)
[COMPLETE!] A mostly-cozy friends-to-lovers BL about healing, high school, and second chances. Two years ago, Jace Walker had it all - popularity, talent, and the kind of ego only an American teenage soccer star could have. Then he was kidnapped. Gone for two years. Experimented on. Forgotten by everyone but the nightmares. Now he's back. Back at school. Back to pretending he's fine. But Marcus, the school's new golden boy, sees right through him - and Jace can't decide if he hates him for it... or needs him. As Jace struggles to rediscover who he is, he finds something unexpected: friendship, love, and maybe even himself again. Will he ever stop being the boy who disappeared?

Our Quiet Hours [HaoSeo FF] ☑️
Zhang Jiahao had spent years building walls made of silence and precision. Once a renowned architect, now a recluse after a tragedy that fractured his faith in people, he moves to a quiet coastal town hoping to disappear from everything - noise, fame, and feelings. But peace has a way of finding him in unexpected forms - like the warm laughter spilling from a small café down the street. Kim Junseo, the café's owner, is everything Jiahao isn't: open-hearted, endlessly kind, always smiling even when it hurts. To him, people are stories waiting to be listened to. When Jiahao becomes a regular customer - always quiet, always alone - Junseo can't help but want to know what kind of story hides behind those sharp eyes and measured words. Their worlds meet not in grand confessions, but in the quiet moments between them - a cup of coffee gone cold, a late-night rainstorm, a hand brushing against another. Slowly, Jiahao learns that healing doesn't always come through answers - sometimes, it's found in the warmth of someone who simply stays. But when the past Jiahao tried to bury resurfaces, both must decide: Can love born in stillness survive the noise of what once broke them?Complete
Not My Type
Vivienne Reid has never fit in-and honestly, she stopped trying. Shy, distant, and socially invisible, she's mastered the art of going unnoticed. Her only exception? Jace Everett. The school's hottest nobody. Best friends? Definitely. Telling each other everything? Not even close. When cracks start forming in their perfectly quiet friendship, Vivienne begins to suspect that the boy who knows her best might be hiding something... something that could tear them apart. But she has secrets of her own-and the truth might ruin more than just their friendship.
The mirror always lies
For readers who have felt lost, numb, or like they didn't belong-Mira's story is for you "Some days, the mirror is the worst place I know. Other days, it's where I disappear." Mira is seventeen, and every morning feels like war. With her body. With her mind. With the silence that fills her room when no one's watching. Struggling with depression, anxiety, and body dysmorphia, Mira has perfected the art of pretending. But when the weight of everything begins to crack through her carefully built mask, she meets people who start to see her-really see her. And that's when the healing begins. Quietly. Messily. Unforgivingly. A raw, lyrical story about self-destruction, first love, and the slow, stubborn fight to believe you're enough.Complete
