    *She asked for freedom and learned what it cost.* ________________________________________ This is a story about three people bound by the same love - and separated by the moment they were ready to choose it. Lisa loved Jennie deeply, but mistook freedom for distance and reassurance for presence. When she asked for space, she didn't realize she was letting go of the one person who had been staying all along. Jennie learned what it meant to stop asking, to stop waiting, and to choose herself without bitterness. In the aftermath, she rebuilt her life piece by piece - discovering that love doesn't disappear when it's quiet, and that being seen can feel like coming home. Chaeyoung had loved Jennie patiently since college, never demanding space, never forcing timing. She stayed when it hurt, waited without disappearing, and arrived not as a replacement - but as someone who was finally met. Told through parallel points of view, this is a story about presence, regret, healing, and the devastating truth that sometimes the greatest love of your life doesn't leave you - you leave it. And sometimes, someone else stays.

    Ranch Life Novel | Cedar Hollow Series Lance Hawthorne has always known where he belongs-on horseback, beside his father, building a future that made sense. But one moment changes everything, leaving him caught between the life he built and the one he doesn't know how to live. Back home, the days grow quieter, the distance between him and the world stretching further with each passing week. Frustration settles in. So does silence. And the harder he pushes people away, the easier it becomes to disappear into what he's lost. Until a trip to an unfamiliar ranch forces him into something he's not ready for-hard work, hard truths, and a place where nothing is handed to you. At Murray's Ranch, progress is earned one step at a time, and the expectations don't change just because he has. Surrounded by people who challenge him in ways he doesn't expect-and one in particular who refuses to see him as broken-Lance is forced to confront more than just his limits. Because this fight isn't only about strength. It's about trust. Trust in the work. Trust in himself. And maybe... learning what it means to let someone stand close enough to matter. Because sometimes starting over doesn't mean going back. It means deciding you're not done yet.

    Aastha's first job lands her in Ahmedabad - smack in the middle of adulting chaos. Dry chapatis for lunch, rushed mornings, and somehow still late to work despite waking up on time. All she wants? To survive the grind of office hours, burnt dinners, and crushing expectations. Karjun Shah runs Shah Enterprises like clockwork - sleeves rolled up, silver wristwatch gleaming, and not a hair out of place. Stern, composed, the perfect CEO... until he's home. There, he's just Kaju -the steady heart of a noisy, loving Gujarati household that refuses to let him be anything but human. Neither planned this. But Aastha keeps catching glimpses of his silhouette and falling a little harder each time. Karjun can't ignore the new drafter with too many things in her tote and an uncanny way of softening his world. Love doesn't always arrive with fireworks. Sometimes, it tiptoes in - slow, steady, and unstoppable. All images/pictures belong to their rightful owners. I do not own any. Thank you. Have fun reading! Started: 30/05/2025 Word count: 90,000

    At 3AM, a system begins. It just happens to involve two people. A single swipe connects a quiet engineering student in Texas to two football players in Ohio-identical twins who move through the world like opposing forces: momentum and control, instinct and precision. What starts as a late-night conversation becomes something neither of them planned. Not fast. Not loud. Not simple. Just... consistent. Night after night, across distance and routine, something takes shape-not quite friendship, not quite love, but something that refuses to disappear. Chris doesn't chase connections. He observes them. And this one is starting to matter more than it should. But not all systems are stable. And not everything that fits is meant to last. In a world that rewards speed, noise, and certainty, three people learn what it means to move differently-to pause, to listen, and to recognize that sometimes the most important connections aren't the ones you choose... ...but the ones you can't seem to let go.

    During the five-year mission of the USS Enterprise, a new science officer joins the crew: Commander Francis Lancaster - curious, non-binary, intelligent and carrying a quiet connection to Vulcan heritage. After surviving a deadly expedition on the hostile world of Tarsis IV, Lancaster becomes the scientific partner of Spock. Together they investigate strange new life, unknown worlds, and discoveries that could change the Federation itself. Yet some resonances are not merely scientific. Between logic and emotion, between curiosity and connection, something unexpected begins to form. But Francis and Spock are not the only ones whose lives begin to shift. On board the Enterprise, bonds between crewmates grow, flirtations spark, and unexpected romantic tensions emerge - sometimes humorous, sometimes complicated, and sometimes surprisingly sincere. In the vast silence of space, some minds - and some hearts - begin to resonate.

    In a world ruled by Gods, where dominions govern the very forces of existence, power decides who is seen... and who is forgotten. At the height of this order stand the Great Houses, worshipped as divine, their authority absolute. Beneath them move beings of light and shadow, feared and revered alike, shaping the world through judgment and unseen influence. Below them stand those who wield knowledge, those who build and sustain the world, and finally the many who live beneath it all, while at the very bottom are the Forsaken, those the world has already cast aside. Once, seven great dominions stood in balance, and at their centre was Aethra, the Dominion of Eternity, the force that bound all things together. When Aethra fell, the world did not break, it adapted, hardened, and continued without its centre. Lewa is born into that world, into a life that should have passed unnoticed, yet something about her does not move in step with everything around her. Moments linger. Silence bends. Time itself seems to hesitate in her presence, as though something forgotten still recognises her. Then her world is erased. In a matter of moments, her home, her family, and everything she knows are reduced to ash. Yet when nothing should remain, she does. And in that silence, she makes a choice, she reaches for something still alive and refuses to let it go. That choice carries her forward, but so does something far older, something tied to what the world lost when Aethra fell. As her path unfolds, she crosses others who do not belong within the system that governs everything, each carrying a force the world no longer understands. Together, they are not balance, but disruption, and the world begins to shift around them. Because Eternity did not die. It waited. And now, through her, it is returning.

    Youssef Nabeeh is twenty years old, has dropped out of university, and can't explain why. He carries chronic pain in his back, nightmares he can't shake, and a fear of crowds he's learned to live with. He doesn't like staying home. He doesn't like going out either. But then there's her - and for the first time, he finds a reason to try. Set against the noise and texture of Cairo, A Wallflower follows Youssef through ten parts - from a neurologist's waiting room to dusty bookshops and late-night rooftops, where complicated friendships blur into something deeper, and a love story unfolds between two people who never expected to need each other. A quiet, sharp, deeply human story about anxiety, isolation, and the kind of love that doesn't save you - but makes you want to save yourself.

    I Encountered Hui-Jeong - by EriaH Hui had never planned to live with anyone again. After years of learning how to control his life-his space, his routines, his boundaries-sharing an apartment with a stranger was the last thing he wanted. But one reckless night and a drunken promise later, he wakes up to a quiet man sitting in his kitchen... and a new roommate he barely remembers inviting. Jeo is calm where Hui is rigid. Observant where Hui struggles to read the people around him. He follows rules easily-except the ones that matter most to himself. At first they are simply two strangers sharing a kitchen. One cooks too intensely. One eat too slowly. One leaves messes everywhere. One quietly cleans them up. But as days turn into weeks, small conversations grow into something deeper. Through cooking, late-night thoughts, and the quiet routines of everyday life, Hui begins to question the way he sees the world-and himself. © 2026 EriaH. All rights reserved.

Known for his unmatched focus and loyalty to duty, he has spent years proving that emotions have no place in a battlefield. Especially not love. Haya Zareen enters the military training camp as a quiet recruit who seems ordinary at first glance. But beneath her calm presence lies determination, secrets, and a past that connects her to the very man who does not even know she exists. When a dangerous training accident forces their paths to collide, Zaahav finds himself constantly crossing paths with the mysterious girl whose eyes seem to recognize him far too well. The more time they spend together, the more questions begin to surface. Why does Haya seem prepared for things others miss? Why does she look at Zaahav like she has known him long before this camp? And why does the soldier who fears emotional attachment begin to feel something he cannot control? As hidden truths slowly unfold, both of them are pulled into a journey filled with dangerous missions, investigations, and secrets that refuse to stay buried. In a world ruled by duty and loyalty, some choices are harder than war itself. When the moment finally comes... will Zaahav choose the life he built for years, or the woman who quietly walked into it and changed everything?

    They grew up chasing the same ball on the same cracked ground. Then life pulled them apart. Years later, Liam wears Barcelona's colors. Matteo belongs to Madrid. On the pitch, they are rivals. Off it, everything is quieter-and far more dangerous. Third Half is a slow-burn story about pressure, silence, distance, and the cost of wanting something you were never meant to name, set against youth academies, international tournaments, and the unforgiving spotlight of professional football. Some matches are played under stadium lights. Others begin when the whistle has already blown. This is a work of fiction. All characters, teams, and events are fictional, and any resemblance to real people or situations is purely coincidental. Updates every Wednesday at 11:00 PM (CET).
