    "A silent victim, a cold-hearted king, and the bridge of warmth that connects them." Park Jimin is a ghost haunting the corridors of a mansion that was meant to be a home. Trapped under the iron thumb of his aunt's cruelty, his voice is a forgotten memory, buried under years of silent tears and systemic abuse. He is a victim of a world that looks at his beauty but ignores his bruises. Then come the Min's-a couple whose hearts are as warm as a Seoul spring. They see the "angel" behind Jimin's silence, offering him the first taste of genuine kindness he has felt in a decade. But their son is a different story. Min Yoongi is a man carved from ice. As a powerful CEO living in a tower of glass, he has no patience for "broken" things or the sentimentality of his parents. To him, the world is black and white, and silence is a weakness he doesn't tolerate. When a chance encounter brings Yoongi's parents to Jimin's doorstep, a single, silent note penned on crumpled paper becomes the fragile thread weaving two disparate souls together. Can a boy who has lost his voice melt the heart of a man who has chosen silence? Or will their worlds remain separated by more than just distance? #Yoonmin #ColdCeo #Hurtcomfort #MuteJimin #BoundByABrokenNote #AgeGap

    Alma Justin thought heartbreak would look louder. Crying in public. Screaming phone calls. Closure that made sense. Instead, it came quietly - across a café table, from a man who had already stopped choosing her. With nothing left to hold onto but her pride and a mother who refuses to let her fall apart, Alma is forced to start over. New job. New rules. No room for weakness. But on her very first morning at Baires Dev, she crosses paths with a man who doesn't believe she belongs there - unaware that he's just challenged the only thing she has left: her resolve. Nick Leicester is powerful, controlled, and unused to being questioned. Alma is tired of being overlooked. What begins as resistance turns into tension. What turns into tension becomes something neither of them planned. And sometimes, the hardest battles aren't about love - they're about becoming someone you don't recognize anymore. A slow-burn workplace romance about heartbreak, ambition, and learning how to choose yourself.

    When Georgia Hart drives back through the tree-lined roads of her childhood hometown, the golden leaves whisper a truth she's not ready to face. Everything looks the same, and yet nothing is. Once a bright-eyed kindergarten teacher, Georgia returns home searching for something steady after a season of loss and restlessness. What she doesn't expect to find is Richard Ellis, the quiet boy she grew up with. He's older now, broader in the shoulders, and still carrying that easy, disarming charm she never quite forgot. Years ago, their friendship had always skirted the edges of something more with glances that lingered too long, conversations that felt like secrets. But life moved forward, pulling them in different directions. Now, with her father's recent death the family's orchard needs tending, her mother urging her to stay and help. Now Georgia finds herself working alongside Richard once more. Between the hum of bees and the scent of ripe apples, old feelings stir like leaves in the wind. Richard's teasing smile hides a tenderness he can't quite name and Georgia's heart begins to thaw beneath the warmth of his handsome features and steady devotion. As autumn deepens, the two must decide if what they once left behind was just youthful affection... or the beginning of a love that never really ended. A story of coming home, healing, and rediscovering grace. "Where Love Took Root" is a tender, slow-blooming romance reminding us that sometimes the heart doesn't move on... it waits.

    They asked her to choose restraint. She chose integrity. At the end of Book One, Emilie stood openly against the most powerful vampire authority in the world - not with violence, but with refusal. She would not be owned. She would not be controlled. And she would not allow compassion to be weaponized into obedience. Now, Volterra watches. In Book Two, the consequences of that choice begin to surface. The Volturi tighten their grip not through force, but through perception, manipulation, and fear carefully dressed as order. Humans begin to question. Vampires begin to choose sides. And every act of kindness becomes a political statement. Carlisle Cullen stands beside Emilie, fully visible now - his love no longer hidden, his conscience no longer quiet. Together, they navigate a world where love is leverage, morality is dangerous and restraint is no longer enough to keep others safe. As alliances fracture and pressure mounts, Emilie must decide how far she is willing to go to protect others without becoming the very authority she opposes. Because the most dangerous power isn't domination. It's influence without consent. And once the world starts watching... there is no return to silence.

    Arron Rose is good at two things: basketball and pretending. Don't blame him-it keeps his life uncomplicated. He's North Valley's star basketball player, everyone knows his name, and dating has always been something he's managed to avoid... until now. Madison Davis doesn't perform at all. She sketches in the margins, keeps her guard up, and has no interest in the kind of attention that chews people up and spits out a version of them they don't recognize. When a split-second lie turns them into North Valley High's most unexpected couple, pretending is supposed to be simple. Just rules. Just boundaries. Just enough affection to convince everyone else. Easy enough... right? Funny, slow-burn, and packed with banter, basketball boys, and accidental feelings. What happens when you start a lie-and accidentally find something honest?

    When Professor Juniper Sallow unexpectedly accepts the position of new Herbology assistant at Hogwarts, she expects soil, solitude, and the quiet company of things that grow toward the light. Instead, she finds a castle that listens, plants that remember-and a colleague far too observant to be harmless. Beneath the chatter of students and the hum of old magic stirs a cold pulse under the greenhouses, one even Dumbledore avoids. Set against the backdrop of *Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone*, this story explores the spaces between canon-staff meetings, patrols, and the slow awakening of two people who understand silence better than safety. A slow burn of intellect, distrust, and unspoken loyalty. "Harmless," she says. The earth knows better. Updates: Wednesdays & Saturdays, 8pm (CET)

    Joshua didn't mean to find the café. Neither did Seokmin. But somehow, they ended up in the same quiet place-where secrets are the price of entry and nothing feels quite real. They were strangers, both carrying things they couldn't say out loud and in a place that collects confessions, they found each other instead.

    Two artists. One sketchbook. A story about finding connection in a world that never felt built for you. Ash Lyren never planned to stand out. He prefers life behind the scenes - sketching stories, storyboarding dreams, and watching the world through a lens only he understands. Autistic, asexual, and quietly creative, Ash finds order in a life that rarely makes sense. Samantha Pyrel, on the other hand, shines where he fades. Artistic, witty, and secretly unsure of her place, she hides behind smiles and sketchbook pages of her own. When their worlds collide at Eastview High, what begins as a quiet friendship becomes something deeper - two artists learning to be seen for who they are, and to see each other beyond the noise. A story about art, identity, belonging, and the courage it takes to begin - because every connection, like every story, has to start somewhere.

    Some names are easy. Some names are chosen. Some names are never meant to be spoken until everything is ready to change. Rowan Hale believes that language is intimacy - that the words you use can keep someone close or push them quietly away. Lucas Whitaker doesn't think much about names at all, until he realises there are some he's afraid to say, and one boy he's terrified of losing. Set over the slow shift from summer into autumn, *What We Called Each Other* is a soft, slow-burn boys' love story about proximity, silence, and the weight carried by the things left unsaid. Through borrowed clothes, shared nights, and the careful shelter of nicknames, Rowan and Lucas learn how closeness can exist long before it's named - and how one word, spoken at the wrong moment, can change everything. This is a story about almosts and accidents. About learning when language becomes truth. And about how sometimes, love begins not with what you say - but with what you dare to call each other when it finally matters. Trigger Warnings / Content Notes * Gender dysphoria (non-graphic, internal) * Miscommunication * Emotional vulnerability * Fear of rejection * Mild internalised anxiety (No explicit sexual content. Romance remains tender, emotional, and PG-13.) Transphobia, misgendering, or debates about trans people's legitimacy will be deleted. This space is for respectful discussion only.

    Kim Yerin has one goal: stay invisible, get perfect grades, and graduate Seoul University without letting anyone ruin her focus - especially not boys like Park Sunghoon. Confident. Charming. Shameless. He's everything she despises: a heartbreaker with a lazy smirk and a reputation that follows him like perfume. And unfortunately, he's also her mother's friend's son... and her classmate. One awkward encounter in his bedroom was supposed to be the end of it - until fate throws them into the same university, same department... and eventually, the same orbit. As Sunghoon flirts his way through campus and Yerin rolls her eyes through every encounter, sparks fly - the wrong kind. She wants nothing to do with him. He, for some reason, can't seem to leave her alone. But when silence turns to tension, and tension turns to something neither of them can explain, Yerin is forced to ask herself a question she never thought she'd face: What if the boy she hates knows exactly how to get under her skin... because he's already there? She was never his. But in his mind... she always belonged.

Tutoring The Jock is a sweet, slow-burn college rom-com about forced proximity, quiet pining, and discovering that the right person makes even the hardest lessons worth learning.
