Sometimes, love feels like light breaking through a storm - soft, sudden, and impossible to forget.
Eliam Kouadio, 22, an Ivorian photographer, captures the world's beauty without ever daring to be part of it. Living in Lisbon, he moves between shadows and light, searching for a meaning he believes he lost somewhere between Abidjan and exile.
Noah Mansour, 24, a French-Lebanese writer, lives through words. His poems, read by thousands of strangers, hide a void he can't seem to fill.
An exhibition. A glance. A photograph.
That's how it all begins.
Between the brightness of images and the melancholy of verses, a connection grows - one that defies distance, silence, and old wounds.
The Weight of Blue tells the story of two young men learning how to love without losing themselves, how to find one another in vulnerability, and how to turn their fragility into art.
A gentle, poetic, and sensual story.
A story about slowness, light, and the weight of real emotions.
💙 Because sometimes, the color of love isn't red. It's blue.

Insomnia
Maria Garme has always found solace in words. Poetry spills from her like a confession, each stanza stitched with longing, loss, and the quiet ache of a girl who has spent her life on the outside looking in. She doesn't expect anyone to truly understand her-not her absent mother, not her well-meaning but struggling father, and certainly not the enigmatic boy who watches her from across the room at poetry night. Abel Iglesias is all sharp edges and unspoken pain, a storm bottled up in a boy who drowns his emotions in music and midnight skating. The city is his escape, the stars his only witnesses-until Maria steps into his world. Their connection is undeniable, intense, and terrifying. But love doesn't come easy for two people who have spent their lives running from their pasts. When secrets unravel and fear pushes them apart, Maria and Abel are forced to confront the truth: love is beautiful, but it is also heavy. And sometimes, the weight of it is enough to break you. Under the city lights, between whispered poetry and quiet confessions, they must decide-will they keep running, or will they find a way back to each other before it's too late? A raw, lyrical, and deeply emotional story about love, healing, and the echoes we leave in the hearts of those who truly see us.Complete
Until Our Bodies Remember
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.Complete
In Between Us
We're not together. But we're not just friends either. Late-night messages. Almost-kisses. Unspoken feelings hidden behind casual conversations and coffee shop meetups. They never defined what they were-because definitions meant boundaries, and boundaries meant limitations. So they kept it simple. No labels. No promises. Just a connection that felt too real to be nothing... and too fragile to be something. But when emotions get too loud to ignore, and hearts begin to want more-what happens in between us can either bring them closer, or tear them apart. A modern love story about almost, uncertainties, and the kind of heartbreak you can't name.Complete

From Adi to Anant
Some souls don't meet for the first time-they remember. Bound by lifetimes, separated by time, Kanha and Achyut find each other again-drawn by rain, dreams, and the quiet ache of something unfinished. Every glance feels remembered. Every silence feels sacred. Every touch carries echoes of lives they once lived, and lives they are yet to live. In a world that keeps changing, their love doesn't. Across centuries and countless reincarnations, fate conspires to bring them together, even when the universe conspires against them. From the bustling streets of modern cities to the quiet lanes of distant pasts, from whispered secrets under moonlight to storms that shake the soul, they chase each other through memories and time, never quite free from the gravity of what binds them. They are the spark in the rain, the calm in the chaos, the unfinished story that refuses to end. Lovers torn apart by circumstance, reunited by destiny-every heartbreak only strengthens the thread that ties them. And even when the world forgets, their souls remember. Because some stories aren't written once-they're lived again and again. From the first breath to the last... From beginning to beyond... From Adi to Anant. Tropes & Themes: Reincarnation / Past Lives Soulmates / Eternal Love Fate and Destiny Unfinished Business / Memories Across Time Slow Burn / Enemies-to-Lovers Love Against All Odds / Timeless Connection
BETWEEN MY THIGHS AND HIS PROMISES -COMPLETE
When SoFi Ember meets Snacky, it doesn't feel like falling - it feels like being unraveled. One glance. One touch. One message that blooms into late-night calls, whispered promises, and a hunger that lives in the quiet between kisses. This is a story of craving and tenderness, of laughter on long rides and the small, electric moments that make two people feel like home. But it is also a story about the slow cracks - promises that echo louder than they are kept, silences that sting more than any fight, and the painful truth that words can sometimes disguise the absence of love. Told in breathless scenes and honest confessions, this is the tale of how SoFi loved with everything she had, how she was taught to forgive, and how she finally learned to let go. It is sensual and tender, messy and true - and it ends not with surrender, but with a quiet, fierce becoming. Some loves blush. This one burned - and from its ashes, she rose.Complete
