Warm Stories

Ayla thought she was just attending another corporate dinner in Chicago. One evening, one meeting, a little networking... nothing life-changing. But sometimes the smallest moments lead to the biggest turns. Between late-night cities, unexpected encounters, and choices she never thought she'd have to make, Ayla finds herself stepping into a story she didn't plan... and a love she definitely didn't see coming.

What if the truest love story began with a wagging tail, an alpaca sweater, and a bakery? Enzo "Rio" del Rio is a world-famous romance comic writer: he's a Therian, born a man with the soul and instincts of a dog. For years, Rio's canine quirks and deep need for acceptance kept him isolated, until a chance encounter at a bakery in Ecuador introduces him to Toasty: a fiercely independent woman with a heart as guarded as her true identity. When Toasty sweeps into Rio's comic convention booth with her marketing genius and deadpan wit, Rio falls head-over-tail in love. But Toasty, who has spent her life outsmarting the business world and outmaneuvering her own battles with cyclical depression, isn't about to be won over by sweet words alone. As they travel from São Paulo's bustling markets to the sunlit beaches of Greece, from neon-lit Seoul to the wilds of Madagascar, Rio and Toasty build a partnership grounded in honesty, vulnerability, and laugh-out-loud misadventures. (Full story will be 45,000-50,000 words)

we seek the thrills in every piece of literature by imagining ourselves as the charming conquering hero that wins everybody's hearts in a brilliant adventure tale. beauty is in the eye of the beholder. so what if this time, we transformed the mundane into something beautiful by changing our perspective a little?

//Yearn. Reciprocity. Fluff// Just as Hozier once said---"We should just kiss like real people do." Two total strangers, two respected people. Tied together by family expectations and practical reasons neither of them argues against. Polite, awkward, tiptoeing around each other in a huge mansion. Between shy morning greetings, soft misunderstandings, and slow-growing trust, what started as a practical family arrangement slowly shifts into something gentler and unexpectedly warm. Something there. Something brown (?) ish. Yearn! Yearn! Yearn!

"everyone wants him that's my crime"

Not everyone is happy with the former zombies rejoining society. Not everyone wants to give R a chance to fully heal and have a happy new life. Sometimes, one must face the consequences life deals them, even an unlife. Julie stands by R's side though, teaching him how to be human again, and facing the pain and obstacles with him as he walks down the bumpy road to recovery. ------------------------------------- - Let it be known, I am the original author of this story. The one that was posted here before was an unauthorized copy. "TheGirlWithBrains", the person who "shared" my story here without my permission, suggested I post it myself. My initial reaction was to refuse outright because I felt my story was spoiled, but after mulling it over, I decided to do so anyway. I figure, the more spread out it is by my hands, the safer it is from being stolen... at least, I hope. Disclaimer: I do not own Warm Bodies or The New Hunger, but I do own this plot and my original characters.

Ryan is a simple guy who lives with his mom and dad. He has 2 best friends. His life is great, until his mom and dad decide to move away forcing him to move out...until the expected happens. A zombie apocolypse. Killing off most of the people around him? Will he survive it? Or will he be eaten? (If you've read or seen Warm Bodies, you already know the answer)

a story defined by the absence.

She's a carefree, honest girl. He's a reluctant,cold boy. What happens when jokes become serious? All I wanted was to take responsibility of my actions. Akira is always bright, but unlike her name. She's dumb. Real dumb. So who else except me can handle her?

What happens when fate pairs, two complete opposites together? Lana Evans, is the most warmest, loving, forgiving woman you'll ever meet. & Dominic Ronaldo the most cruellest, dark, mysterious man you've ever seen. God's probably sitting in heaven, laughing, after pairing these two opposites.

I was so smooth, so warm, so creamy, yet I obviously wasn't good enough for you. Did I not satisfy you anymore? Not quench your thirst, calm your deepest and most intense urges? Whatever. Just don't come crawling back to me when your new favourite gets boring.

Poems, quotes, and two sentence stories by me. I may even add aesthetically pleasing art too. I update whenever I come up with something. Come chill with meeeee.

If there's one thing I've learned in my short time at Gateway, it was that the dead are cold... and once you're dead, until they know who did it, you'll never be warm again.

A collection of poetry straight from my journal
