Brazil Stories

When Júlia, a young woman from Rio de Janeiro devoted to Umbanda, dies in an accident, she awakens before a mysterious entity who offers her a deal: return to the world of the living. In exchange, she must defend a hidden kingdom in Rio de Janeiro, learning to control the magic of living allegories in order to protect it. As she struggles to master her new abilities and understand the forces surrounding her, Júlia also faces conflict at home. Her brother Lucas, an evangelical Christian, rejects everything she represents. But when long-buried secrets come to light, Júlia discovers that he is also part of this world, and that the fate of both siblings may be connected in ways neither of them could ever have imagined.

Layla has just carried the last box into her new apartment. To her, those walls represent the beginning of freedom and the first step toward a flawless life plan: excelling at university and establishing herself in the professional world. Layla runs on goals, coffee, and carefully planned schedules. However, the silence she expected for studying is constantly interrupted by her neighbor, Mauricio. An employee at the stockroom of a local supermarket, Mauricio is the complete opposite of what success manuals describe. He attends the same university as Layla, but he approaches his degree and career without the desperate urgency that consumes her. He lives in the present, dresses without worrying about labels, and finds his truth somewhere between the physical exhaustion of manual labor and the freedom of his mind after work. What begins as casual encounters in the elevator and accidental run-ins across campus soon turns into an unexpected connection. While Layla tries to teach Mauricio how to plan ahead, he ends up showing her that life happens in the spaces between one commitment and the next. During a stage of transition where everything feels new and uncertain, Layla and Mauricio discover that, although they belong to the same world, each of them has their own time to bloom.

After his painful attempt of running away from his feelings getting the better of him, he wonders if he could ever move on. He never says it out loud but, his silence is deafening.

He would soon meet another, a whole new melody, one who will strum his heartstrings, playing chord after chord. For the first time in his life, he wishes this bar would stretch into the unknown, and always have notes to play.

I will be trying my best to portray [Y/N] though it might be difficult for me (bcuz I'm autistic) I will try not disappoint. But trust me when I say we get to explore her depth as a character when the story goes on.] [This story will start by having my fanmade Greece Special, followed by a Tibet Special before going back to Paris.] [I edited the cover myself, but I do not own the art and the graphics I used] [I do not own Miraculous Ladybug and it's characters, I acknowledge that it is owned by Thomas Astruc and Jeremy Zag.] Buckle up and enjoy reading 🫀 ~BbyMaiaLou

Cecília é filha do pastor mais respeitado da cidade, presa dentro de uma casa onde silêncio e medo andam juntos. JC divide o tempo entre a escola, o trabalho noturno e a esperança desesperada de entrar numa universidade pública antes que a doença da mãe destrua sua família de vez.
