    Julien Laurent's life was built on goodbyes. From city to city, country to country, his only constant was his mother, Camille - until the day Rome stole her from him forever. Grieving and lost, Julien discovers a letter hidden among her things... a letter that unravels everything he thought he knew. A twin brother. A father across the ocean. A family that was never whole. When the truth pulls him from the streets of Paris to the quiet fields of Nebraska, Julien must face the man who never raised him - and the brother who grew up in the life he was denied. Two boys. Two halves of the same story. And one question that could change everything: Can love grow from the pieces left behind?

She likes sunny days, old music, messing with her sister, going out with her best friend, playing chess with her grandpa, taking long walks with the dogs she takes care of for her neighbours... She loves little big things. George Weasley was a very simple person. He liked his school, Hogwarts, and his family, especially his twin, Fred. But school ended and Fred's not there anymore. He's not been there for... what, seven months now? He died in the battle of Hogwarts. Sometimes George forgets. He turns around and Fred's not there. There isn't his warm laugh in the air, or his cheeky grin by his side. George lost his spark. But June is a literal fire, and George's about to get burnt. ★ Copyright goes to J.K.

    Gabriella showed up for him when it mattered most, believing she knew exactly where her life was going, until everything unraveled in a single moment she couldn't unsee. Walking away wasn't something she had planned, but it became the only choice she could live with. With nowhere else to turn, she leaves behind everything familiar and starts over in a quiet town that doesn't quite feel like home, trying to hold on to the part of herself that still feels like her. She tells herself it was the right decision, that some things can't be undone and are better left behind. But distance doesn't always bring clarity, and no matter how far she goes, the past has a way of following. Because some choices don't stay in the past, and some stories don't end just because you walk away. Updates weekly ✦

    "Jis din dua bhi khamosh ho jaaye, us din insaan ya toh toot jaata hai... ya badal jaata hai." Manek Randhawa was once a man whose life revolved around faith. God was his strength, his hope, his answer to everything. He believed that as long as he prayed, nothing truly bad could happen. But the night his girlfriend Aradhya died while giving birth to their daughter changed him forever. That night, Manek begged God with everything he had. When no miracle came, his faith collapsed. From that day on, Manek stopped believing-not in life, but in God. His daughter became his only reason to live, his only love, his only prayer. He built his world around her, protecting her with fierce devotion while keeping his own heart closed. Years later, when his daughter struggles with mathematics, Manek hires a private tutor, Madhurani Shekhawat. Soft-spoken, gentle, and warm, Madhurani unknowingly reminds him of Aradhya. Her presence awakens memories he tried to bury, stirring anger, grief, and emotions he refuses to name. This is a story of loss, silent pain, and a man standing between faith he lost and healing he never believed in.
