Sometimes we tend to love the things we can't have.
That's Ilana Seren Cole's whole life in one sentence. She lives her life avoiding the what she loves most: flowers. A severe allergy taught her that beauty comes with the cost of breathing.
It all changed when Kaelen Rhys Ashford came into her life. He taught her that she didn't need to choose between beauty and breathing. So, he made her paper orchids - delicate and safe to hold.
But safety is tempting. The boy she has always admired, Silas Lucian Gray, gives her the sense of normality. He says that she can find beauty in the things she can hold, too.
As they go into a relationship, secrets resurface. Kaelen is hiding something that is breaking him apart. Silas is holding onto a past he can't let go of.
Ilana is torn between being normal and deciding what she is willing to risk for a love that might finally free her from her fears.

The Weight of Unsaid Things
Senior high school was supposed to be fun. At least that's what everyone said. But for Maria and Maki, it became a year filled with pressure, exhaustion, identity struggles, silent breakdowns, and feelings they never learned how to explain. Maria is the student everyone admires - responsible, hardworking, and always composed. But behind perfect grades is someone slowly losing herself from trying to carry everyone's expectations. Maki is loud, funny, and impossible to ignore. Openly gay in a school where judgment spreads faster than rumors, she hides her pain behind jokes and smiles that nobody questions deeply enough. Different in many ways, the two unexpectedly become each other's safest place. Not every story is about romance. Sometimes, it's about friendship. About surviving. About finding someone who understands the parts of you that nobody notices. Because some feelings are too heavy to say out loud. And sometimes, the people who save us are the ones sitting beside us in silence.

Origamis | Xingyun
Chongyun liked to think he was the regular and typical highschooler: not too popular but still have some reliable friends and succeed to pass most of his classes with average grades. The only thing that could have stopped him from being the normal guy he wanted to be could have been his part-time job as an exorcist? But, you know what? What really bothered him the most at the moment was those little paper planes he kept finding in his locker... Where did they come from? // English is not my first language sorry for eventual mistakes! (Don't hesitate to call me out, so i can correct them!) //Complete
I HOPE YOU NEVER MEET AANYA
A Thrilling, Introspective Deep Dive into Emotional Abuse and the Quiet Cost of Freedom. Aarav is a drift, seeking a genuine connection in the shallow digital world. He finds Aanya, who enters his life like a sudden, beautiful fate. She is magnetic, vulnerable, and claims him utterly, whispering lines like, "Main toh bas tumse hi baat karti hoon," and "Tum meri destiny ho." Aarav mistakes this sudden, intense focus for intimacy, and Aanya's growing demands for love. He feels chosen, special, and needed-until the script begins to repeat. As their relationship tightens, Aanya's adoration curdles into control. Her constant availability becomes a trap, her confessions of need become ultimatums, and her tears become weapons. Aarav finds himself constantly apologizing for her mistakes, sacrificing friends and opportunities to appease a partner who makes him prove his love every single day. He is isolated, gaslit, and convinced that his own feelings are the problem. What happens when the person you live for is the one slowly extinguishing your light? When the pattern of abuse becomes devastatingly clear, Aarav must choose between saving the woman he loves and saving himself. Years later, he returns-not for reconciliation, but for closure-only to witness Aanya's cycle beginning anew with a fresh victim. I HOPE YOU NEVER MEET AANYA is a haunting, quiet exploration of coercive control, the insidious power of emotional language, and the profound, silent triumph of finally walking free.Complete
