AAGAAZ: Zindagi ki sabse badi bhool?? Usse samajhne ki koshish karna hai. Woh kabhi samajh nahi aati. Bas guzar jaati hai. Aur jab guzar jaati hai... Tab uski goonj reh jaati hai. Kehte hain mohabbat do logon ke beech hoti hai. Mujhe kabhi yaqeen nahi hua. Maine dekha hai... Mohabbat insaan aur uski fitrat ke beech hoti hai. Jahan usse samjh liye jaaye, wahan qabool ho jaati hai. Aur jahan usse apna samjh liya jaaye... Woh dheere-dheere ajnabi ho jaati hai. Ishq Ka mizaaz kaafi najuk hai Use shakk se zyada yaqeen, aur haq se zyada izzat raas aati hai. Usse alfaazon ki bhook nahi hoti. Bas tauheen ka dar rehta hai Zindagi kisi cheez ki milkiyat nahi deti. Bas kuch lamhon ke liye unhe sambhalne ka haq deti hai. Mohabbat. Rishte. Apne. Khushiya. Aur... Dard. Sab kuch... Toh phir dar kiss baat ka? Khone Ka? Ya is sach ka... Ki kabhi kuch humara thaa hi nahi.. Hum kuch nahi tham paate Na lamhe na unki mehek.. Jo mila... Amaanat tha. Jo chala gaya... Uska waqt poora ho chuka tha. Baaki jo reh gaya... Usi ka naam shayad... गूँज.

Bound by the Yeonriji tree and the Red Thread of Fate, two souls reunite in a dream where love and sorrow intertwine. But when reality intrudes, their bittersweet promise lingers like an unwritten page waiting to be filled.

Just as Harper had begun to imagine a quiet life with Yanpu-a life of warmth, safety, and the simple joy of waking up without fear-fate demanded something else. She had only just started to feel the comfort of belonging, the fragile threads of trust weaving between herself and those she had let into her heart. But the world rarely waits for peace to take root. The idea of traveling across the planet had never crossed her mind. To step foot in enemy territory, with a child clinging to her side and an outlaw shadowing her steps, felt almost like stepping into a nightmare. And yet, there was no time left to hesitate. Hyde, the ex-serviceman with a wounded past, was running out of time. The cure for his condition lay in the hands of the Queen of Krahagh-an opposing nation whose name alone stirred distrust and fear. Yanpu's rare abilities were the key, and Harper knew that leaving was the only choice. But the road ahead was more than a journey across hostile lands-it was a test of everything they had begun to build together. Bonds would be stretched, tested, and perhaps even broken. Friendships would be forged in the crucible of shared danger, and loyalties would be challenged by the weight of sacrifice. What trials will they face on the path to Krahagh's capital? And when the dust settles, will the ties between them be strong enough to endure the cost of survival?

They weren't supposed to fall in love. But the stars had other plans. Maadhavan and Aadhirai were always a little 'too' close. Relatives, sort of. Raised together, shaped by different circumstances. She was fire. He was calm. And they both carried things they never spoke of. But when a night of stargazing breaks something open-something tender, terrifying, and true-the quiet in-between moments become louder than words. Love begins to slip in. Slowly. Uninvited. Unstoppable. Set in the warm chaos of Tamil Nadu's temples, terrace nights, festival rides and filter kaapi, Stargazing Souls is a slow-burning tale of healing, longing, and love that lingers even when no one says it out loud.

People think your first love changes your life. Mine just ruined my favorite colour. To this day, I can't look at the word blue without thinking of him. Yes, he has a name; a very common one - the kind you'd probably find in every other manhwa or manga. But to us he will always be 'BLUE.' Aiden was just an another final year college student. Then, there is me - Claire, who turned him into a main character of my life. Not because we dated. Not because we ever talked. But because his Blue shirt matched with my hairband? Plus a few too many coincidences were took in too. This story isn't whether Blue and I end up together. It's about watching an ordinary crush slowly turn into something I never expected. And watching my younger self turn ordinary moments into unforgettable memories. (This story is based on Claire's POV ONLY) ⚠️ This story is purely fictional and my own creation.

🎥 Trailer 🎥 Between Two Worlds Written by Lily O'the Valley The screen fades from black to Quetta's sunset, a young woman gazing out of a window. Narrator: "Home-it's where your roots are, where your heart learns to beat. But sometimes, life pulls you away, forcing you to find yourself in a world you don't yet know." Quick cuts show Hanah Malik laughing with her sisters, then the family at the airport-teary goodbyes. Sultan Malik: "Hanah, no matter where you go, stay true to who you are. Your family is your foundation." Hanah (softly, almost a whisper): "I left behind everything I knew-my family, my city, my life. But how do I find myself here without losing who I am?" Hanah and Zobi laughing together, forming an unexpected bond. Zayd leans against his car, his eyes cold, his group watching in silence. Zayd (low, icy): "People can talk about danger, but without wisdom, it's nothing but noise." Hanah, half-serious, half-frustrated, turns to Zobi. Hanah: "Is he cold and sharp with you guys too, or just me?" Zayd's dark eyes glint as he meets Hanah's gaze through the rearview mirror. Zayd (smirking): "It's just a collaboration, flower. You ain't gonna be my group's member." Hanah (voiceover): "He's arrogant, distant, and impossible to read. Everything about him tells me to stay away. So why can't I?" A heated exchange between Zayd and Hanah, emotions sharp. Hanah stands under a streetlight in the snow, looking back at Zayd, their gazes locking-tension, curiosity, and something unspoken. Narrator: "Between Two Worlds"-a story of love, loss, and the spaces where light meets shadow. "Coming Soon to Wattpad."
