Thorn does not believe in being saved. She believes in exits. In locked doors. In silence. In keeping her head down, her hands busy, and her past buried so deep no one thinks to look for it. After a month of failed job interviews, Thorn walks into the Rosewood Lounge for one reason only: tea. She does not expect the crooked job sign in the window. She does not expect Noah Thornwood, all chaos, charm and impossible warmth. She does not expect Elias Thornwood, all control, sharp edges and quiet protection. And she definitely does not expect a non-alcoholic café-bar full of people who somehow notice too much, ask too many questions, and make far too much room for a woman who has spent her whole life trying not to need anyone. Thorn is brilliant, guarded, exhausted and terrifyingly calm. She is a bartender who does not drink, an artist who hides her work, a woman with chronic pain, old grief, and a history no one at Rosewood could ever imagine. But Rosewood has its own way of loving people. Through tea. Through food. Through ridiculous theories. Through late-night shifts, handmade blankets, found family, and the kind of loyalty Thorn has never trusted enough to want. The longer she stays, the harder it becomes to pretend she is only an employee. Because Noah sees the loneliness she hides behind sarcasm. Elias sees the pain she refuses to name. Zara knows the girl beneath the armour. And slowly, painfully, Thorn starts to learn that family is not always blood. Sometimes family is the people who save you a seat. Sometimes it is the people who stay. And sometimes, after years of surviving alone, there is finally room for one more.

Where every cup brews a story.

Saiki K x OC/Reader Misa Kaori is PK Academy's newest exchange student this semester. She's calm, a little anxious, and is very connected with the energy around her. She is rather beautiful, with fluffy dark green hair, lots of jewelry, accessories, and sprinkles of her personality displayed within her clothing. On her first day, she almost immediately notices something is off around her. Kaori has never thought much of love. She's never really considered it even. Keeping to herself was her specialty. As she connects with Saiki and his friends, how does this feeling change and develop for her? And will a certain psychic be persuaded to change as well?

Some people come into our lives for only a little while... yet leave a place in our hearts forever."

This is the story of two souls that know each other but never get to stay together. When fate keeps them apart, how will they find the door that opens up to their world together ???

Para kay Raine Kharelle Ybañez, isang education student sa VIU, ang buhay ay isang perpektong prosa: tahimik, maayos, at kontrolado. Ang kaniyang mundo ay umiikot lang sa kaniyang pag-aaral, sa pamilya, at sa mga kaibigan hanggang sa magtagpo ang landas nila ni Zaevion Drixx Montecillo, isang seryoso at malamig na medical student. Ang isang hindi sinasadyang pagkakamali ay nagtulak sa kanila sa isang slow-burning connection-mula sa palitan ng mga sticky notes hanggang sa pagtuklas sa mga pangarap ng isa't isa. Zaevion was the science, and Raine was the poetry. Ngunit ang pundasyong binuo sa mga lihim ay madaling gumuho. Nang matuklasan ni Raine ang isang lihim mula sa nakaraan ng kaniyang pamilya noong October 2020, nabunyag ang isang masakit na katotohanan: ang lalaking itinuturing niyang kanlungan ay may malalim na koneksyon sa pagkawala ng kaniyang ama. Sa gitna ng pagkawasak, isang tanong ang natira: minahal ba siya ni Zaevion nang totoo, o isa lamang siyang bahagi ng isang kasalanang hindi mabubura ng panahon? "I lived my life trying to write a perfect prose. But you left me with nothing but ruins. Now, I have to learn how to write a story out of our wreckage."

After trauma, bullying, and losing her brothers in a tragic accident that shattered her family, Lily stopped speaking to the world around her. Living quietly with her hardworking father, she entered Class 12th expecting another lonely year filled with silence, fear, and surviving alone. Instead, she was placed in the loudest class in school - Class 12th Section E - a chaotic classroom of fifteen overprotective boys who slowly turned her world upside down. What started as awkward conversations became late-night comfort, fierce protection, emotional healing, and the kind of friendship that feels like family. Along the way, Lily reconnects with her brothers after years of separation, rebuilds the broken pieces of her family, and finally learns she was never the reason everything fell apart. Between school trips, heartbreak, fights, panic attacks, hospital scares, pranks, first love, and unforgettable memories, Lily slowly discovers something she never thought she would ever have again: A home full of people who choose her.

Para el Reino, ella es la Duquesa Beatrice Campbell, la futura Reina perfecta: una figura de mármol moldeada a base de protocolos implacables y un aislamiento cruel. Para el palacio, él es el Príncipe Heredero Garrick, un hombre atrapado en un trono de cristal cuyo único escape parece ser el cumplimiento de su deber. Y en las sombras de la corte se encuentra Dagur, el hermano menor, bendecido con la libertad que a los primogénitos les fue arrebatada. Pero detrás de las fachadas de la alta aristocracia existe un santuario oculto: una vieja cafetería bohemia en la plaza de la ciudad. Allí, despojados de sus títulos, dos adolescentes juegan a ser libres bajo los nombres de "Nótt" y "Bea", entregándose a un primer amor ferviente y agridulce que tiene una fecha de caducidad estricta: seis meses. Cuando las máscaras caigan y la corona exija su tributo, Beatrice se encontrará atrapada en una red de realismo político descarnado, donde su propia familia ha tejido una trampa mortal utilizando su inocencia. ¿Puede un amor sembrado en una cafetería sobrevivir al peso de un imperio? ¿O aprenderán que, a veces, la madurez consiste en soltar el amargo café del pasado para aprender a saborear el complejo presente? Una historia de tres perspectivas donde no existen los villanos, solo prisioneros de su propio linaje que intentan encontrar su propio respiro al alma.
