What happens when two beings are born destined to love each other, but their very nature makes it impossible for them to touch?
A small flame is born from the ashes of a campfire and begins wandering through the forest in search of a purpose. There, he meets a tiny drop of water. From the very first moment, they understand that they were meant to be together.
But fire and water cannot touch.
Even so, they find a way to remain close and set out together on a small journey through the forest. But when a woodsman separates the fire from his companion, their love is faced with a distance that seems impossible to overcome.
Hold Close is a short fable about love, separation, loss, and hope. A simple story about two beings who, even when everything stands between them, refuse to stop searching for each other.
This story is a literary adaptation of a vignette originally drawn by Ingrid Tan.
Sometimes, loving someone means finding a way to stay close.

Beast World Handsome Husband Hoarder
×MATURE× > She died a jobless anime binge-watcher. She woke up a chubby, unwanted beast bride. Odette didn't ask for a second life-especially not in the body of a despised gray swan with five drop-dead-gorgeous beastmen husbands who can't even look her in the eye. Forgotten by her tribe, accused of crimes she didn't commit, and left to drown by the very men who vowed to protect her... it should've ended there. But fate-no, a shady cosmic system-had other plans. Armed with a cheat-like storage space, a secondhand body, and five cold marks on her hand proving none of her husbands ever claimed her, Odette decides it's time to rewrite this beastly romance into her own personal revenge story. Who needs loyalty when she can hoard hotter husbands? Who needs love when she can live deliciously petty? Let the ex-husbands regret. Let the new suitors line up. And let the Swan Queen rise-feathers, fat rolls, and all.
