Logan is a little autistic. Logan has been in love with his best friend Chris for years, even if he never fully admitted it to himself. Their friendship goes all the way back to high school, where Chris came in when Logan needed it when he was crying in the bathroom. Since then, they've been close in a way that's always felt like more, even if neither of them said it out loud. As adults, their relationship only grows. There are small moments. Late nights, soft touches, lingering looks that blur the line of friendship. When Chris breaks up with his girlfriend, the tension between them grows stronger, especially after a night of drinking leads to even more feelings rising. Danny, their mutual friend, complicates things further. He likes Logan, and is even a bit manipulative. Eventually, everything comes to a head when Logan and Chris finally kiss, crossing something they can't come back from. They fall into something they can't quite define yet-friends but more than friends. Neither of them have talked about wanting more. When will Logan, or Chris, confess that they want more than what they have now?

𝐒𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐫𝐨𝐞 Sage has always been the quiet, shy girl. Why? Maybe because of her bullies, maybe because of her mother picking her sister over her every time. Nobody likes her, but they're all jealous of one thing; her neighbour. 𝐀𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 Adrian is anything but quiet, he loves partying, spending time with his friends and loves the attention all the girls give him. While she's spent years watching him from across the street, he didn't even know her name. Until one house number and a dumb friend, changes everything. (This is such a wattpad cliché, but hey, we love it right?)

Kenji Calloway has always been the quiet one. As a Neko, he notices things other people don't. His ears catch conversations nobody else hears. His tail gives away feelings he'd rather hide. While everyone else is busy talking, Kenji is listening. Adopted into the loud, loving chaos of the Calloway family at seven years old, Kenji finally found what he thought he'd lost forever: a home. A dad who calls him bud. A mum who understands him without trying. A sister who teases him like it's her job. And an older brother who has always been his safest place. Then a school fundraiser takes a terrifying turn, and Kenji overhears something that was never meant to reach anyone's ears. Suddenly, everything he loves is in danger. The problem is simple. Nobody believes him. Not the teachers. Not the police. Not even the people he loves most. As the truth slips further away, Kenji faces an impossible choice: stay silent and hope someone else figures it out, or keep fighting for the truth, even if it means standing alone. Warm, humorous, and deeply heartfelt, The Quiet One Who Knew is a story about family, courage, and the extraordinary strength it takes to keep telling the truth when nobody wants to listen.

No matter how hard she tries to ignore it, something about Nathan has never felt right. When she finally leaves home to start college, she believes she's leaving her fears behind. But some people get close enough to become family before they show you who they really are. A psychological thriller about trust, manipulation, and the danger hiding behind a familiar face.

Some love stories begin with sparks. This one begins with silence. Arohi has always believed that the quietest hearts carry the deepest emotions. She finds comfort in libraries, notebooks, and spaces that don't demand explanations. Vivaan believes in stillness too-in listening more than speaking, in staying when the world feels too loud. They don't meet dramatically. They don't fall all at once. They meet in shared spaces, borrowed silences, and moments that feel insignificant-until they aren't. What begins as familiarity slowly turns into comfort, and comfort into something neither of them planned for. This is a story about gentle connections, playful teasing, university days filled with unspoken feelings, and a love that grows without rushing. About choosing softness in a world that asks you to harden. About learning that staying can be braver than leaving. Because some hearts don't need grand gestures- they just need someone who understands their quiet. Where Soft Hearts Learn To Stay is a slow-burn romance about presence, patience, and a love that arrives softly-and lasts.

An anthology of stories about the invisible strings that tie us down... and what happens when they break. When you're born, a thread ties you to home. Move away, and it thins. Go too far, and it snaps. Each story follows someone new. A boy who can't remember his mother's laugh. A girl who drives 14 hours to feel nothing in her childhood kitchen. A man who cut his own thread and never told his son why. Some threads stretch. Some fray. Some are gone before you notice. How far would you go before you couldn't find your way back?

Mira collects small things because small things remember: a bent coin, a torn photograph, an unsent letter folded into the town's margins. When one letter refuses to stay buried, the hush that has protected her riverside town begins to crack. A stranger arrives with a warm smile and guarded eyes, and the river starts returning memories to shore. Quiet choices ripple into loud consequences. If you love slow‑burn romance wrapped in literary mystery and moments that linger, walk the river with Mira.

(AuauSave, NorthOtto AU) Save has always lived in the quiet places of life - where nothing asks to be felt too deeply, and nothing demands to change. Days pass in soft repetition, accompanied only by North's steady presence, as if existence itself has agreed not to disturb him. Then Otto arrives - too bright, too open, too willing to stay - followed by Auau, calm and unreadable, looking at him like something already half-known. And slowly, almost imperceptibly, the life Save has been surviving begins to shift into something he was never prepared for: not chaos, not rescue... but the unsettling possibility of actually living.

Aou Thanaboon, Chulalongkorn University's most notorious rugby player and serial dater, makes a cocky bet with his teammates that he can seduce Boom Tharatorn-the quiet, bookish literature major who spends more time with classic novels than people. But when Aou's fake romance, built on quotes from Boom's favorite books, starts to feel more real than any of his past flings, he must choose between winning the bet and winning the heart of the first person who saw past his player persona. Disclaimer: This is a real-person-fiction (RPF). All the plot and content of the story do not connect with the real person at all.

On this bright, sunlit afternoon, we are all ghosts under the last red sky.

CANCELLED Please read the last chapter for info, thanks. Heather is eleven, the youngest of a large family of eight. Treated like a baby by relatives and ignored at home, she soon learns that no one can be certain of the future. No matter how bland it seems.

He is the weight of metal, the trace of oil, and the time that demands patience. She is the vertigo of light, the gleam of glass, and the urgency of now. In the silence of a workshop forgotten by progress, two rhythms collide. He mends what the world casts aside; she seeks the angle the world longs to see. Between the shutter that clicks and the screen that accelerates, an interference is born - one that no algorithm could have foreseen. But the light that reveals is the same light that consumes. In a city that demands total exposure, what remains for those who choose the shadows? An elegy for that which cannot be edited. The final encounter between the grain that resists and the pixel that devours.

(I this story is kinda like SAO (anime) a girl gets trapped in a fantasy type world.) Sakura is a 16 year old girl. she is timid but will stand her ground if need be..
