In a world that constantly tried to label her by the wrong gender identity, Kaia learned to survive through the quiet love of her mother, the only person who looked at her with understanding instead of shame.
But everything changes when life forces them into the mansion of the powerful Romualdez-Ferrer family.
A home filled with wealth, control, and buried secrets.
And waiting inside is Mattheus Romualdez Ferrer - the grandson of a feared and openly homophobic governor of Valenzuela City. Raised in a family where men are taught to be hard and emotions are treated as weakness, Mattheus grew up hiding himself behind anger and pride.
Until Kaia enters his life.
Under one roof, their worlds begin to clash like two storms meeting in the dark. Every argument cuts deep. Every glance lingers longer than it should. Yet behind Mattheus' cruel words is a loneliness Kaia slowly begins to understand, one that feels painfully close to her own fear of never truly being accepted.
What happens when a not-so-normal girl who spent her whole life fighting to be seen meets a boy raised to hate everything she represents?
Can love grow inside a home built on prejudice?
Or will Kaia lose herself trying to soften the heart of a boy taught to fear people like her?
NOTE: This is a straight man × trans woman story.
If you are transphobic, bigot, or uncomfortable with stories that center transgender women and their experiences, then this story is not for you.

Beyond the Storm (Under Major Editing)
Rain Sanchez is a proud and fearless transgender woman. Matapang siyang humarap sa mundong hindi laging patas at hindi palaging tanggap ang mga tulad niya. Sanay na siya sa mapanghusgang tingin, sa bulung-bulungan sa likod, at sa mga salitang kayang sugatan ang pagkatao-pero kailanman, hindi siya nagpatalo. Bitbit ang tapang at dignidad, pinili niyang ipaglaban ang sarili, ang kanyang pangarap, at ang karapatang magmahal at mahalin. Ngunit paano kung sa gitna ng pagiging matatag, ay dumating ang isang taong magpapayanig ng mundo niya? Isang lalaking tila sagisag ng lahat ng pinakamasakit na alaala, sarado ang isip, puno ng takot, at hindi pa handang tanggapin ang katotohanang mahal niya ang isang katulad ni Rain. Sa kabila ng lahat, handa ba siyang masaktan muli... kung ang kapalit naman ay pag-asang maipaglaban ang pagmamahal na totoo? Kakayanin ba ni Rain na unti-unting buksan ang puso ng isang taong takot sa kung anong sasabihin ng mundo? Isang kwento ng tapang, pagtanggap, at pagmamahal sa pinaka-taimtim nitong anyo.Complete

Clandestine Affair (bxb)
Tagalog(Under Revision) Jasper is just a normal kid. He has a normal best friend, a normal life at school-and he likes it that way. He enjoys the tranquility that school life brings him. May mga nang-aapi rin naman sa kaniya, ngunit hindi iyon naging dahilan upang mawala ang pagiging normal ng kaniyang buhay sa paaralan. But when Kairo-another bully-transferred to their school, Jasper's life would no longer be normal. This bully was unlike the others. Not like the self-entitled heartthrob who used to pick on him. Kairo was different. Guwapo, moreno, at matangos ang ilong-ilan sa mga katangian ng lalaki na kaniyang hinahangaan. Jasper thought he was about to gain another tormentor, but things turned out differently. Kairo became his ally-and not just an ally, but eventually, his lover. Sinubukan nilang itago ang kanilang relasyon, sa kadahilanang bawat isa ay may inaalala. Kairo worried about losing his friends and being rejected by his parents. Jasper feared that even more people would bully not just him, but also the one he loved. So they acted as if nothing was going on between them. It was difficult-lalo na't ang lihim na tinginan sa bawat isa ay may dalang init at pagkasabik. Their only moments together were secret meetings on the rooftop, where stolen kisses became their refuge. Mga oras na may takda at hangganan.Complete

Seven years ago, Bien confessed his love to his best friend on a stage in front of hundreds of people. Christian froze. Bien ran. They haven't spoken since. Now, Bien is a talented but overworked creative at Sing FM, stuck in a toxic workplace with a boss who steals his designs and a salary that barely covers his father's medical bills. He has resigned himself to a life of quiet mediocrity-until Bad Egg Productions walks through the door. The CEO of the rising media empire is none other than Christian Royce. He's richer, broader, and more handsome than ever, and he wants Bien to work for him. As they are forced to collaborate, the silence of the past seven years begins to crack. But just as the sparks reignite, a blind-item scandal threatens to destroy Christian's company. With investors pulling out and the public calling for blood, Bien is faced with an impossible choice: stay and watch Christian's dream collapse, or become the villain in his own love story to save the man he never stopped loving. In a world of dead air and mixed signals, Bien has to decide what he is truly willing to resign from: his job, his pride, or his heart.Complete

Planado na sana ang buhay ni Lorenzo Ilustre, hanggang sa bigla niyang kinailangang lumipat ng school sa probinsya para sa kaniyang huling taon sa high school. Sporty, academic achiever, gwapo pero misteryoso at suplado---at higit sa lahat, 100% straight since birth. Ang tanging goal lang niya sa bagong school? Ang maka-graduate nang tahimik. Kaso, naging seatmate niya si Dionisio Galvez. Isang maingay na social butterfly na walang ibang inambag sa P.E. class nila kundi maglaro ng ganda-gandahan. Hindi man siya biniyayaan sa acads, alam ni Dionisio kung ano ang gusto niya. At bilang isang loud and proud na bakla, target locked na siya sa bagong transferee. Araw-araw, walang ginawa si Dionisio kundi guluhin si Lorenzo gamit ang mga handwritten notes at walang-kapagurang pagpapapansin. Hanggang sa hindi namamalayan ni Lorenzo, naging bahagi na ng araw-araw na routine niya ang makulit na presensya nito. Pero paano kung isang araw, biglang tumigil si Dionisio? Sa biglaang pagkawala ng nag-iisang "glitch" sa tahimik niyang mundo, paano tatanggapin ng isang straight na lalaki na nawiwindang ang buong pagkatao niya dahil lang sa pagkawala ng taong bumulabog sa tahimik niyang buhay?
