Reunited Stories

Riley doesn't remember the last time someone asked if she was okay. Not really asked. Not in the way that meant they were going to stay for the answer. She is seventeen years old and she has already learned the most important lesson this town has to offer - that people leave. They leave with promises folded neatly in their pockets, with good intentions they fully mean at the time, with duffel bags and bus tickets and fifteen days that turn into three years without a single word. They leave, and the ones left behind learn to stop waiting by the window. They learn to stop setting an extra plate. They learn to breathe around the absence until the absence just becomes the air. Riley works the late shift. She carries drinks to tables without being asked twice. She doesn't flinch at loud voices anymore. She doesn't cry at things that used to make her cry. She has become very good at being invisible in a room full of people - and even better at being invisible to herself. This is not the life she imagined. But it is the life she has. And she has made her peace with it, quietly, the way you make peace with things you never had a choice about. She is not waiting for anyone anymore. She stopped doing that a long time ago. Until the night a familiar face walks through the door - and three brothers who left her behind must now face what their absence built. Because blood doesn't forget. And neither does Riley.

Sadie spent twelve years watching other kids get chosen-while her real family lived in comfort without her. When a social worker uncovers the oversight that kept her in foster care, she's sent back to the father who lost her through a bureaucratic error, and the four brothers who never stopped missing her. But returning doesn't erase abandonment. Sadie is furious. Her brothers are relieved but resentful. And her father carries a guilt that threatens to break them all. Home is a battlefield of memories and unspoken blame, and forgiveness is not guaranteed. Yet beneath the anger lies love, waiting-unsteady, uncertain, but still alive. Healing takes time. Trust takes longer. But after everything, Sadie may finally learn what it means to be wanted.

She promised she'd only be gone for a year. At twenty, moving across the world felt like the opportunity of a lifetime. New places. New friendships. New dreams. The only thing harder than leaving England was leaving Arthur. What starts as a one-year adventure slowly becomes a life she never expected to build, and with every month she stays away, the distance between them grows harder to ignore. Torn between the future she's creating abroad and the life waiting for her back home, Alice finds herself forced to make an impossible choice. But some choices don't come with clear answers. Told through diary entries, heartbreak, second chances, and the quiet moments that shape a life, Home Was Always You is a story about love, growing up, and discovering that sometimes the thing you're searching for was never a place at all. It was a person.

How long does a crush last for? What even is a crush? Goshiki isn't actively searching for answers to either of those questions. All he wants to know is what it will take for her to take her eyes off all the other players, and look at him. No, what he really wants is for her to look through everyone but land her gaze on him. But she seems to see the world differently, and in her eyes, only those that sparkled earned their place to exist. Cover art drawn by and belongs to ACaramelCat, Goshiki belongs to the world

Han Seoyeon remembers a rainy night from five years ago. A hotel ballroom. Two cups of hot chocolate. A quiet boy sitting alone on the steps. What she does not remember is how much that one night meant to him. Kang Jiwon never forgot her-not the yellow cardigan she wore, not the blue pen she kept chewing when she was nervous, not the way she sat beside him when everyone else had looked away. Five years later, they meet again at university. To Seoyeon, Jiwon is quiet, unreadable, and strangely familiar. He knows her coffee order without asking. He waits until her bus leaves before going home. He remembers things she has long forgotten saying. And the closer she gets to him, the more she realizes that Jiwon is not cold. He is simply terrified of wanting someone who might leave. A slow-burn romance about hidden letters, missed timing, first love, and a boy who spent years quietly loving the girl who never knew she had changed his life.

GENEVIEVE HADLEY, as a teenager, was constantly trying to grasp her parents' attention by getting into trouble and wrecking havoc. Never did she imagine that such trouble would lead to her getting pregnant at sixteen, but that's her story. Naturally, it disappointed her high-class parents so their solution to fixing "the problem" was to ship their only daughter off to Los Angeles to live with her Aunt Sue and her husband, Don. Nine months later, her daughter was born, and Genevieve had never felt such love in all of her life. The baby girl she named after herself reminded her that she was never the problem, that her parents were the ones that hurt her, and she promised to be the best mother to her daughter. Now she and her daughter are ten years older, living happily in Los Angeles, and after years of struggle, Genevieve finally has a stable job, working as a 9-1-1 dispatcher under her aunt. To this day, she has never named the man whose eyes her daughter now reflects, only informing everyone that he was just some careless hookup from her class. She never named him solely because she didn't imagine she'd ever face him again, not when she was shipped days after discovering she was pregnant. But then, after a minor fire at Evie's school, she's greeted by a firefighter who she remembers as the boy that always called her by her surname. What's worse, he recognises her immediately as the girl who disappeared from his life ten years ago. Never did he think the reason she disappeared was because she was pregnant with his child- the child who he stares at now.

Short Summary: Vera, an ancient vampire gifted with extraordinary perception and near-limitless knowledge, is reunited with Cauis, the husband she lost in her human life over three thousand years ago. After centuries of grief, wandering, and relentless efforts to protect and guide others across the world, Vera arrives in Volterra-only to discover that Cauis still exists as one of the Volturi kings. Their reunion transforms not only their lives but the entire vampire world. As Vera reconnects with Cauis and learns that Didyme, Marcus's long-lost mate, is alive, Volterra becomes a place of renewed joy and unity. Vera's immense power and wisdom draw admiration from the Cullens and countless ancient vampires, many of whom she has saved throughout history. When threats arise against Volterra, Vera and Cauis fight side by side with devastating efficiency, often joined by allies she once rescued across centuries. Her reputation as a savior spreads widely, and thousands of vampires rally to her cause, ultimately reshaping global vampire society. In the end, Vera and Cauis become the heart of a new era-one where ancient violence gives way to balance, protection, and peace. Their love endures across millennia, and Vera's legacy transforms the vampire world into something far more unified, stable, and hopeful than it has ever been before.
