Mellifluous: (adj.) Something that is smooth and flowing
Everything about him was angelic, Xael loved everything about him. From his smooth voice, to his sparkling dark blue eyes, to his bony musician's hands. He was the epitome of romance.
Everything about her was rough, Elian adored everything about her. From her broken sentences, to her dull eyes, to her dry cuticles. She was the outline of a wreck.
They fit together, they completed each other. Their love was admired by everyone, yet hated by everyone. They filled the broken cracks that each of them contained. They healed each other in a way that was ethereal. They were two broken souls that depended on the other. One touch and you could break them, yet they flowed and moved together like molasses.
They were mellifluous.

The Deconstruction of Eliz
When you see someone act outside of what you consider normal, do you judge or help them? How does a grown-up who grew up in a world not conditioned for her behave? How does bullying affect adulthood? This story is for introverts. If your life is rosy and optimistic, you should leave; you won't be able to handle it. Eliz struggles with anxiety and feels disconnected from others. Consequently, she imagines a fantasy world that parallels her own, where she has everything she cannot attain in real life. Her lack of experience is leaving her with doubts about neurodiversity, depression, her sexuality, and the loneliness that comes from her introversion. She struggles to find the strength to face a world where people do not see her as human and project their insecurities onto her, clinging to her "antidotes" as she calls them: a furbaby named Sky, music, chocolate, and Netflix. Without a support system around her, she uses all the stories she sees on the screens as a compass in her life and hopes to get the same result. Because if it works on TV, why not for her? She expresses what she can't convey through words in her mind by using analogies of TV characters or songs. Eliz ponders whether there's a place for her, viewing life through the lens of a mother who had to raise her alone and a sister who resembles a model from a magazine. A friend who is more of a friend when both are doing badly and a job she got because of dropping out of college. Add being monosyllabic, withdrawn, and a boss she doesn't know how to talk to because she "thinks" she's interested in him, but what does she do with that? Come in and look at the mess in her head, hidden behind a desk answering phones. Eliz is repetitive and full of insecurities. She is afraid of her shadow, kind of crazy, but with a good heart. © Registered in SAFE CREATIVE 2304104018014©All rights reserved.Complete
Melane
Sometimes, life isn't all sunshine and roses. Jack and Melane are friends. Not close friends, but friends all the same. They met in college through one of his professors, but never hung out much outside of school. When they graduated, she made sure he had her number and she had his. Every other day, she'd text him and they'd talk for a bit until she had to go to work. Out of habit, he'd start texting her whenever he thought of it. There were no romantic intentions behind these messages, as he had a girlfriend already, but she lived in another country, and long distance relationships are hard. Even so, it came as a surprise to them both when Jack's girlfriend broke it off. Mel tries to be there for him, but as he starts getting more and more depressed, she develops feelings for him. Desperate to hide it, she tries to distance herself as much as she can, all the while still helping him. But it becomes clear to her that she can't hide forever, and watching the light fade from his eyes is too much for her bear... She doesn't want to admit she's falling for him- but in the end, it's exactly what Jack needs to hear.Complete
Eyes of an Angel
Jenny had lost herself in him first. And Valen had fallen in love after. But more than that. Much more. She was light, he was shadow. But when they touched, the boundaries blurred, like the sea caressing the moon without ever truly belonging to it. Jenny was an angel, but no one knew angels could tremble. She thought she was a tangled mess of fears and insecurities wrapped in a body too fragile to carry the weight of the world. She never felt enough. Never. But in Valen's eyes, she was perfect. She was the full moon, the reflection of light on water, the last breath before a kiss. And he was terrified of her, because he was none of that. He was afraid of dirtying her, of tearing her wings. Jenny deserved someone who wasn't broken inside. But she didn't want someone else. She wanted him. Valen was broken, not in the way something can get dirty and be washed clean, but in the way something shatters inside and never comes back the same. He never let anyone truly look at him, no one could. But Jenny could. Jenny looked at him as if she saw him whole. As if she didn't notice all the pieces missing from him. Or maybe she did, but it just didn't matter. Valen had always been too aware of his own darkness to get close to someone else's light. But Jenny settled on him like the moon on the ocean, lighting him up without knowing she was illuminating a place no one had ever dared to look. Valen let her. He let her innocence get caught in his sharp edges, let her hands brush against his scars as if she wasn't afraid of cutting herself. Jenny had lost herself in him, but Valen had found himself in Jenny. But he couldn't allow it. In Valen's arms, amidst all that chaos, Jenny found peace. With Valen, she didn't have to prove anything. She didn't have to be anything more than she was. But how do you escape from someone who's already home?

Before She Even Knows
''There is only one thing crossing my mind right now. If he hates me so much, then why the hell is he kissing me back?'' ----------------------- Emma White has always been kind of a loner. Her mother died giving birth to her and her father never really cared, always working in his successful company. That's why she decides to go to a college away from home, something she's been dreaming of since she can remember. However, what happens when at her very first day on campus, she crosses path with Noah Allen? He is rich, popular, cold, rude and a player just to start with. No surprise she calls him Mr. Grumpy. What is driving her insane though is that he's only too cold when it comes to her. After some not so pleasant moments and lots of glares, she tells herself that the best is to stay away from him, but it won't be that easy. After a disastrous kiss and hidden jealousy, she finds herself deeply involved into what is this frustrating boy. Add to that the fact that he is her roommates' childhood best friend and you can see drama from miles away. Noah claims to hate her ever since they met, and he doesn't mean her first day of college. He remembers her just fine from a couple of years ago and all the feelings are back. He knows she doesn't remember him and he'll use this as his leverage to do what he has to do. It's what he promised his father and himself, even if it means he has to pretend to care for her. All he cares is his family business. At least it's what he tells himself, until the feelings start getting too mixed and he ends up thinking of her more than he should. Maybe it's not all about business after all. He knows their history started before she even knows, what he didn't expect was for her to be so different from what he has always believed.Complete
