Slow 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.

He wasn't supposed to exist. He was just another reader...someone who cried over a fictional villain who loved too deeply and died too unfairly. "The villain deserved a happy ending too." Those were his last words before a speeding truck ended his life. When he opened his eyes again... "Young Master is awake!" He had transmigrated into the very novel he had finished reading. Not as the heroine. Not as the hero. Not even as the villain. But as an insignificant side character destined to disappear before the main story even began. The original owner was weak, kind-hearted, and constantly abused by relatives who stole everything from him. This time? Things would be different. He would reclaim everything. Protect himself. And most importantly... He would save the lonely villain everyone misunderstood. But what if... The villain stopped looking at the heroine... ...and started looking at him instead? "I once lived for my obsession." "Now...my obsession has become you."

Twenty years ago, Thailand witnessed a tragedy that was never forgotten... Some stories fade with time. Some are buried. And some are buried for a reason. William is a loud, carefree street thief who somehow always ends up in trouble. With messy hair, worn-out sandals, and a broken motorcycle, he's the last person anyone would take seriously. Est has everything William doesn't. Wealth. Status. Perfection. And absolutely no patience for people like William. They should've never crossed paths. But fate seems to have other plans. Every encounter ends in chaos. Every coincidence feels too convenient. And with each passing day, the line between accident and conspiracy becomes harder to ignore. Because someone is watching. Someone is waiting. And somewhere beneath decades of lies... the truth refuses to stay buried. In a world where nothing is as it seems... who can you really trust?

Nineteen-year-old botany major Wren Callahan just wanted to survive her scholarship, foam enough oat milk lattes to make rent, and maybe figure out why she can't stop thinking about the cafe's infuriatingly witty barista. Then the university's most hated dean drops dead mid-sip of her latte, and her whole life turns into a crime scene. Wren knows two things the police don't: the poison wasn't in her latte, and someone wanted it to look like it was. As the only person who noticed the telltale scent of monkshood before he hit the floor, she has days to prove her innocence. While her scholarship funding freezes, her found-family roommates start looking less like allies and more like suspects, and the boy she's absolutely not supposed to be falling for turns out to be the dead dean's estranged son. Between the crooked shelves of a labyrinthine bookshop boarding house, a missing journal full of academic blackmail, and a secret society hiding behind ivy and old money, Wren has to use the one thing she's actually good at, knowing her plants. She needs to catch a killer before they decide she knows too much. Cozy mystery. Dark academia edges. Slow-burn romance with a fake-dating twist. Found family that might just be full of secrets.
