Asa never planned on falling in love with someone like Amir Malik Sani. Composed, calculating, and far too certain for someone who made her question everything she thought she knew about love, faith, and herself. What started as quiet understanding slowly turned into something neither of them could walk away from. But love, as they both learn, isn't just tenderness and timing, it's choices, patience, and a war between what feels right and what is right. Between faith, family, and the fragile space where their worlds collide, Asa and Amir must learn what it really means to love without losing themselves and to trust that some stories aren't written by accident and everything happens for a reason that sometimes is not known by us. When their worlds collide, it's anything but easy. Between cultural expectations, family pressure, and religious lines that can't be crossed lightly, they're either each other's downfall-or their only shot at something real.

The Last Harvest Some love stories are written in letters. Others are written in a lifetime of sacrifices. After graduating with a degree in Accountancy, Neir Nevaeh M. Pisiac returns to her grandparents' quiet provincial home, hoping to spend a year away from the rush of city life. But the season she comes home is harvest season-a time when golden rice fields promise both hope and livelihood to the farming community. While her grandmother manages the endless work of the harvest, Neir Nevaeh M. Pisiac devotes herself to caring for her bedridden grandfather, Feodor. Day after day, she feeds him, changes his clothes, listens to his stories, and stays beside him through long, silent nights. Though an accident has stolen much of his memory, Feodor remembers one thing with remarkable clarity: the life he lived before old age claimed his body. He remembers a childhood shaped by poverty in the rice fields of Bohol. He remembers the father who healed with faith instead of medicine. He remembers the stubborn boy who refused to let hardship bury his dreams. He remembers leaving home in search of an education, working tirelessly to build a better future, and meeting the woman who would become the love of his life-Miracle. As forgotten memories slowly return through heartfelt conversations, Neir discovers that every wrinkle on her grandfather's face hides a story worth preserving, every harvest carries the weight of countless sacrifices, and every lifetime leaves behind seeds for the next generation. The Last Harvest is a moving novel about family, resilience, enduring love, and the quiet heroes whose greatest achievements are not written in history books but live on in the hearts of those they leave behind.

I don't own anything but the plot. Everything goes to Rick R. the amazing author of Percy Jackson. Everyone has a necklace or in other words, locket. The only thing about the locket is that it's only half of a heart and for each pair its own original color and edges. The other half of the locket is with your soulmate. Now, inside the locket is the first name of your soulmate. At first it's going to be one shots but a few chapters in, its will flow more easily. Will be/have: Annabeth with a eidetic memory ( it's where she remembers everything from what she sees to what she reads - like Olive from ANT Farm), music, Percy on the swim team, and take place in high school & college. Sorry if I'm bad at descriptions. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12846423/1/Lockets
