Two second-year students. Two broken families. One fateful night.
Opal Amano (20F) has spent her whole life accommodating to circumstance. Between nursing clinicals, the weight of her grandparents' expectations, and the guilt of a divorce she never asked for, she's learned to mute her desires to fulfill others' expectations and needs. Even at the expense of her own happiness.
Riki Nishimura (19M) has found a different way to navigate the crushing expectations and pressures his parents demand from him. By day, he's a business major, meeting the expectations placed on him as the oldest son expected to take over the family business. By night, he disappears into L.A.'s underground scene to live his true passion: dance.
Fate, a beautiful magnet, brings these two together during their most vulnerable time to comfort each other in an unexpected place: a bus stop.
Fate, a cruel puppeteer, converts their sincere connection into a point of manipulation for their families to trap them in everything they've been trying to escape: class, expectations, pressure, and the futures they're supposed to perform.
Now they must decide whether their connection is a means of autonomy and finally choosing their own desires openly, or falling into the web of control and manipulation that both of their families have set forth.
"Broken Fragments" is a slow-burn story about two exhausted souls navigating identity, family pressure, and the iridescent fragments that can either culminate to form a beautiful mural, or blind one's eyes from the truth and form irreparable scars.

Love In The Shadow (18+ | Litmatch Lovestory)
Prologue - When Hearts Break Betrayal doesn't scream. It whispers. It seeps in like poison, invisible at first, until one day you wake up and realize you've been dying quietly inside. That was me. A wife. A mother. A woman discarded for someone else's smile on a glowing screen. He was supposed to be my forever. Instead, he became my wound. Eight months later, I'm still learning how to breathe without bleeding. Two children look at me with eyes too wise for their years. Han, seventeen, carrying silence like armor. Bella, six, asking me why Ami cries at night when the world is asleep. I tell her it's just allergies. She doesn't believe me. Some nights, I wonder if I still exist beyond the roles I'm forced to carry-mother, provider, survivor. Is there still a woman left inside me? Or did she die the night she saw the truth blinking on his phone? And then, in the middle of that loneliness, I met him. Not in the real world, but behind a username. Mr× A stranger with shadows darker than mine. A man broken by betrayal, scarred by addiction, living with an illness that became his shame. We should have never crossed paths. But broken souls recognize each other. And sometimes, even in the darkest places, love finds a way to whisper back. This isn't a fairy tale. This is a story of two wounded hearts, meeting in the rain of their ruins, daring to dream of sunlight again.

Thread Without Needle
Naiyah thought she was living the dream. California sun. A great boyfriend she'd known for years, the kind you move across the country with. An apartment in an artist commune, with a rooftop garden that has a gorgeous view of the river. A job that felt cool enough to brag about. After graduating high school, she moved to Marin, hoping for a new beginning. But the dream frayed fast. The "artist's commune" was more vagabond compound than creative haven. And her boyfriend? Maybe wasn't so great after all. Her "dream job" was more like a nightmare... Nothing was like how she thought it would be. Reality didn't knock. It came flooding in. And with it came the rot, quiet at first, like moisture in the walls, like something you smell before you can see. The rooftop stopped feeling like a refuge. The river turned to sludge. The man she loved began to twist her words, then her sense of self. It wasn't a collapse, it was a slow unthreading. A life held together with hope and borrowed light, now fraying at every seam. She kept patching holes with whatever she could find, but it wouldn't hold. Not with him. Not here. So she left. Now she's stitching her life back together with a thread pulled from her own soul, or from what's left of it. Memory, ruin, and the kind of truth that doesn't ask permission. The "Thread Without Needle" series is for anyone who's ever walked away without apologizing. A story about silent unraveling, reclamation, and the quiet defiance of choosing yourself. Brought together by small mercies, fragmented victories, and soft things found in the wreckage... And what comes after, starting over with nothing... [The first installment of the Thread Without Needle series] [MATURE 18+]Complete
The Chronicles Of Naina
Problems are like beams of light. Majority of them get absorbed. Some get reflected and passed on to others while some get refracted and are tweaked a little before being passed on to others. The problems that dominate our lives are the ones that perform the opposite of Total Internal Reflection - Total Absorption. Naina Singhania believes that she has the most uneventful life ever. The people she is surrounded with-not so much. Her associates make up for the lack of spice in her life or so she thought. What she doesn't realise is the drama she talks about isn't in third person. Somebody else might be bearing the brunt of it, but Naina always gets a share. Share by share, her experiences are defined. Experiences that are centred around her, that cater to her but in somebody else's background. The problems and struggles that are solely hers are stashed away in the farthest corner of her mind. Who wants to relive the non-good memories of their own lives! Naina focuses on being the perfect second character. Long conversations with friends do not include the sleepless nights to crack her college, the financial instability that subtly influenced her growing years or her impressive multi-tasking skills. They highlight other topics like her ex-crush and ex-bestfriend's relationship or her dance partner's injury one day before their show. Read on to see how Naina's life is inadvertently impacted by the chaos she is surrounded by. Afterall, her life is full of reflections and refractions.
