Between streams and Time zone.

Between Streams and Time Zones is a slow-burn contemporary romance about connection born in quiet places and tested by distance, fear, and choice.
Allen and Tanzi meet in an online group created for watching BL series together. What begins as shared commentary and late-night discussions slowly turns into something more personal. Across time zones and continents, their conversations deepen, built on honesty, silence, and the unspoken comfort of being understood.
When Tanzi suddenly disappears due to a lost account and real-life pressures, the fragile bond they've formed is left unresolved. Reconnection brings relief, but also uncertainty. Real life enters the picture in the form of Tahir, a steady presence who offers safety and proximity, forcing Tanzi to confront what he truly wants and what he is afraid to lose.
As Allen and Tanzi move from screens to reality, their relationship faces its hardest test not from distance, but from closeness. Miscommunication, emotional habits, and the fear of becoming optional nearly pull them apart. What saves them is not dramatic gestures, but the willingness to stay, speak honestly, and choose each other even when it's uncomfortable.
This novel explores modern love in its quietest form. The kind that grows through conversations, survives silence, and learns that commitment is not a moment, but a series of deliberate choices.
Tender, introspective, and grounded, Between Streams and Time Zones is a story about finding home not in a place, but in a person.
