Sometimes the contrast between others is as stark as black and white. Sometimes, the lines are blurred to grey. And sometimes, it's all the same color. Cover by @sortasatan

shattered windows
Not every scar is visible. Not every silence is empty. Two hearts. Two pasts. One story waiting to unfold. In a world full of noise, will they hear each other?

Love, Trust, Heart, Hope...
Love...Trust...Hope...they aren't easy to handle. You know who you love and we have to have hope to learn to trust. A lot you may sacrifice for others' happiness. When it all comes together you realize life is more than what we see on our phones, and with our own eyes. Life has it's own view, we aren't alone in this world, but we sometimes need to fight and stand alone to protect the ones we love... Thank you Rosetta Hicks for designing the cover!!!

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 ♡ Two beautiful, broken souls. One unexpected story. 𝐌𝐢𝐡𝐢𝐤𝐚 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐡𝐚𝐥 is an 18-year-old medical student - introverted, heartbroken, and quietly carrying wounds she swore no one would ever see. She's built walls so high, no one's even tried to climb them. 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐫𝐚 is an 18-year-old architecture student - chaotic, energetic, and the life of every room. A goofball on the outside, but behind that effortless smile hides a boy drowning in silence. They've crossed paths before - a glance, a name, a face in the crowd. But never a conversation. Never a reason. Until heartbreak strikes them both. Mihika retreats deeper into herself. Devansh laughs a little louder, pretending a little harder. And somewhere between silence and laughter... fate intervenes. What happens when two broken hearts collide? Can two people who never believed in healing slowly piece each other back together? A story about unspoken pain, unexpected connections, friendships and the kind of love that heals in the quietest of ways. As you go deeper into the story you'll be introduced to more couples✨ Give it a shot, you'll surely not regret it ❤️
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬:- War Among relations
𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 Battle 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬' ೃ⁀➷" what is wrong loving a devil as long the devil love you the way he loves hell ' Beneath the polished halls of an elite university, a storm brews, its fury waiting to explode. Rivalries smolder, secrets rot in the dark, and power is the blood-soaked prize everyone will kill for. Secrets are the currency they trade, and power is the blood that keeps them alive. At the heart of it all stands Aisha Sharma fierce, unpredictable, and a force that no one sees coming. With a past steeped in darkness and a soul carved by betrayal, she is more than just a player in this deadly game. She is the storm they never anticipated. In a world where the students are heirs to empires, power-hungry and ruthless, manipulation is second nature, and trust is a currency too expensive to afford. Everyone plays a role, hides a secret, and sharpens their knives in the dark. Yet none of them are prepared for what Aisha brings to the table, a force that can shatter their carefully built facades and ignite chaos like they've never known. But what they don't know is that the true threat is lurking just beyond their grasp. The Dead Squad twisted survivors of a cruel and horrific past have returned. Their vengeance is sharp, their fury unquenchable, and they will stop at nothing to burn everything to the ground. And above them all, an ancient, ruthless organization, built on manipulation and fear, pulls the strings from the shadows, as its monstrous creations break free to hunt those they once called their own. And survival? It demands more than strength, it demands a sacrifice that no one can escape. In this ruthless battle for the throne, where betrayal cuts deeper than any blade and power is the most dangerous prize who will outwit, outlast, and rise from the shadows to claim victory in a game where survival itself is a deadly gamble?
The Patchworks of being alive: a book of short stories
This is not one story, but many. A patchwork of voices and moments stitched together - some soft as a whisper, some sharp enough to leave a mark. Inside these pages, you'll find sadness that lingers like smoke, flashes of surreal wonder that bend reality at its edges, and quiet truths that feel almost too honest to say aloud. There are stories that wander into the strange, poems that breathe between the lines, and a handful of pieces that may stir old shadows. It is a collection for anyone who has ever felt both the weight and the wonder of being alive - the laughter that comes out sideways, the grief that hums in your bones, the beauty that arrives without warning. Weird, light, aching, honest - all of it belongs here.
When The Lights Went Out
A soul withdrawn from the world, finding comfort only in silence, carries a wound no light can reach. Shadows are safer than connection, and solitude becomes both refuge and prison. Into this darkness steps a spirit unbroken by blindness, one who chooses kindness even when life has offered only pain. Where others see loss, there is still light; where others turn bitter, there is still grace. A tale of contrasts, of wounds and wonder, of two hearts bound by fate yet destined to fall apart.

"Fate will shed tears after I manhandle my way out of the inevitable." Etched into his growing existence are the words: "I'll make it this time." Failure after failure; over and over and over again. But everyone has their limits. And frankly, this one's breaking point is long overdue. ₊˚ ✧ ━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━ ✧ ₊˚ 𝓟𝓪𝓻𝓲𝓼 𝓐𝓾𝓬𝓵𝓪𝓲𝓻 - a rising pianist who dreams to be even bigger in her field one day.
