romance

At the Same Time, Elsewhere is a quiet, slow-burn story about two people who grow up side by side, believing that time will always leave room for them. Set against a suburban Japanese backdrop, the novel follows Kazuya and Aoi from their school days into adulthood, tracing the ordinary moments they share and the silences that slowly take their place. Their closeness is never loudly defined, yet it becomes an unspoken constant—something assumed rather than questioned. As life expands through exams, ambitions, and changing routines, distance begins to form without a clear reason. Words are withheld out of kindness. Choices are delayed out of care. Neither character realizes how much is being left unsaid until time has already moved on. Rather than focusing on dramatic conflict, the story explores how misunderstandings grow quietly, how patience can be mistaken for understanding, and how people can care deeply while still drifting apart. Gentle, introspective, and emotionally restrained, At the Same Time, Elsewhere is a story about timing, memory, and the moments that shape us—not when they happen, but when we finally understand them.

#Kpop #NCT #Seventeen #slow-burn #Healing #Found-Family #Friendship For seven years, Nakamoto Yuta has lived as a ghost in his own life—buried in work, drowning in deadlines, and hiding from the pain of a broken dream. He expects to celebrate another birthday in total isolation, but fate has other plans in the form of a car crash and a man named Hoshi. Hoshi is everything Yuta isn't: bubbly, emotional, and relentlessly persistent. He doesn't just enter Yuta's life; he crashes into it, refusing to let the workaholic Japanese male retreat back into his shell. As they navigate the thin line between friendship and something more, they must face the secrets they both carry. Between drunken confessions, protective friends, and a past relationship—Winwin—that still stings, will they find the light together, or is some damage too deep to fix? A slow-burn story of healing, emotional growth, and the courage to love again. (Disclaimer: This is a work of fanfiction.

"Tell me, Azael," Trisha drawled. "How many times have you kissed that blind helpless girl? Her body reacts like it knows you. And she's still innocent." He was meant to drink her blood — not crave her soul. She was the blind girl who stumbled into a vampire’s lair. He should have killed her on sight — but her scent, her voice, her purity… bound him instead. Azael, the cold lord of darkness, finds his hunger turning into something far more dangerous — desire. And Elana, fragile yet brave, finds herself trapped in a world where mercy is a myth and monsters have hearts. But when her presence begins to awaken the part of him he swore was dead, the question becomes: Can a creature of night truly love the light that blinds him?

Title: Kasarinlan Note: This is a fantasy story infused with Philippine history, set in an alternate world. Tagline: "Freedom, Unity, Peace, The three symbols a nation needs to fight against foreign oppression. But what happens when those who embody and deliver these qualities clash in their methods and beliefs on how to protect the nation they are meant to safeguard?" Plot: For over 500 years, the powerful nation of Spain has colonized the Philippines, treating it as one of its colonies. Due to countless failures and defeats of Filipino heroes and revolutionaries, the people gradually lost the courage to reclaim their homeland from the colonizers. With hope fading, Filipinos eventually surrendered and accepted Spanish rule over their nation. Over the centuries, Spanish governance grew increasingly cruel toward the country's citizens, dividing Filipino society into two classes: Honorary Spaniards or "Hilaw" (as the Spanish call them): These are Filipinos who abandoned their Filipino identity to become "adopted childre ton of Spain" in exchange for certain privileges in the country. Low-Class Citizens or "Indio" (as the Spanish call them): These are Filipinos from poor families, stripped of numerous privileges and rights in their own land. Due to their low social status, they are often oppressed, abused, and unable to defend themselves in any court or legal system in the country.

“One crash. One obsession. No turning back.” He was forbidden. She was off-limits. But when obsession takes hold… rules stop mattering. Isla Matthews had no time for men like him. Thirty-six, overworked, and raising two kids that weren’t even hers, she lived for responsibility, bills, deadlines, and the next quiet breath of peace. Then, one reckless moment changed everything. She didn’t see him, and her car slammed into Travis Steele, a young, beautiful, infuriating billionaire heir, sending his life…and hers…into chaos. He was trouble in human form, utterly ruined, and completely magnetic. She should’ve walked away. She knew better. But when his eyes locked on hers through the smoke and flashing lights, something dangerous sparked, something neither of them could fight. He wanted her…too much. She despised him…too deeply. And yet, obsession doesn’t ask for permission. When hate turns into hunger, and control becomes craving… how long before the woman who swore she’d never fall becomes the one thing he cannot live without? An age-gap, enemies-to-lovers romance full of sharp banter, explosive tension, and forbidden desire that refuses to let go.

Elyon was born in the lowest slums of Earth—powerless, forgotten, ordinary. Then reality stuttered. Time begins to remember him. Choices leave scars. Other versions of himself start to surface—some dead, some broken, some terrifying. This is not a story about bloodlines or destiny. Power comes from decisions that cannot be undone. As the world fractures and echoes collide, Elyon must decide: remain human—or become the reason reality breaks. A dark, slow-burn epic of survival, consequence, and identity.

So, to begin—you know how these stories usually go. A hero’s soul is whisked away to some unknown world, reincarnated to save it from villains, monsters, and a demon lord or two. Destiny, prophecy, the whole tedious package. Same thing is going to happen to our cute little Alex here. The only difference is that he’s currently dead in the dirt, his head severed neatly from the rest of his corpse. You see… God is a writer. A creator. An exceptional storyteller. But sometimes—just sometimes—he writes a story he doesn’t like. You know how writers are. Nothing they make is ever good enough. And after centuries of the same recycled plots, even God gets bored. Lately, he’s been talking about starting something new. A story bold enough to end his centuries-long boredom. Maybe even create something… interesting. Then little Sam—my baby brother, Samael—had an idea. “Why don’t we spike one of God’s worlds,” he said, “with a soul from his favorite universe?” Plant it in my territory. Let it grow. Then release it into a brand-new source block. At first, the idea sounded like pure blasphemy to my existence. But after a little talking… There was no going back. We summoned the soul. Found a vessel. I stood at the edge of a portal to Hell, took one steady breath, closed my eyes, and tossed it in. “Father. God-King. I hope you enjoy our gift,” I prayed—right as Samael burst into laughter. Then I looked down at Alex’s page in the Book of Death. I froze. Slowly, I looked up, panic creeping in. “Hey, Sammy… does God still have a grudge against gays?” We both panicked. *************************** Get the joke? Haha. Anyway—here’s the rundown. Alex is transmigrated into the demon realm as part of some divine game. Gods experimenting. Worlds colliding. Standard cosmic nonsense. Except something’s different about this one. Usually, the guy gets the girl, manipulates everyone around him, and steamrolls the plot like a checklist. But after coming straight out of a winter flu–induced, half-delirious spiral of bad decisions? Why not make the protagonist gay—or bi—kind of a slut, and toss him into the world of one of my old D&D campaigns? Sprinkle in some random ideas. Shake things up. Hopefully, it’ll build character. This is my first time doing this, so… yeah. Bear with me. Let’s have fun. We’ll start in an academy setting. I’ll fill in the rest as we go . Next: [+’5)8!(] Also warning: Can Get Pretty Dark

Luca Moretti ,moved through the world like a storm contained in an Armani suit. At twenty-eight, he was a heir of Moretti empire—a conglomerate of legitimate businesses that bloomed like flowers atop deeply buried, less savory roots, the parent he only knew was his grandpa. His life was a curated exhibition of excess: penthouse views of the city's glittering skyline, cars that purred like contented predators, and a revolving door of beautiful, interchangeable companions who never stayed long enough to see the cracks in the gilded facade. He's only have grandfather, Vittorio, the family's aging patriarch, watched Luca's escapades from his oak-paneled study with a mixture of amusement and concern. "A tree with shallow roots falls in the first storm," Vittorio would rumble, but Luca only heard the distant echo of an old world. He was modern, untouchable, a prince of a shadow kingdom. #OTHER SIDE Across the city, in a neighborhood where the buildings wore their age like a weary sigh, lived Melissa Vance , beautiful young woman. Her world was measured in bus fares, overdue textbooks, and the quiet, heroic fatigue in her mother's eyes. At twenty-two, Melissa navigated her final year at Hillcrest's College on a scholarship that felt as thin as tissue paper, stretched over tuition, rent, and her mother's medical bills. Their life was a delicate balancing act of hope and relentless practicality. Her beauty was not the cultivated kind found in Luca's circles; it was in her intelligent grey eyes, the stubborn set of her jaw as she worked late shifts at *The Grind*, a campus coffee shop(Cáfe), and the gentle strength with which she braided her mother's thinning hair. Their worlds were parallel lines, engineered by fate and fortune never to meet. Maybe fate has it way or?

But Damien Cross doesn't share, and he's done pretending he doesn't want her. This time, he'll claim what's his—consequences be damned.

Charles Kosonen walked into a hidden bar one night expecting nothing but a good drink. He had only visited on one of his random whims, something to spice up his endlessly boring days as a man born with everything, yet utterly dissatisfied with everything. He quickly found a seat at the bar. Then he noticed a beautiful girl lingering by the stage, chatting with the band like she was their singer. Beautiful, she was, with those brilliant blue eyes, deep as sapphire, and her long black hair flowing carelessly down her back. But in the world he lived in, beauty was always in abundance, and for a pair of eyes so used to gems, even a shining jewel could start to lose its luster. The corner of his mouth lifted into a faint smirk. He'd come for the drinks, as one of his business partners had praised when recommending this place. The singing was merely an extra. Or so he thought. The moment the liquid in his crystal-clear glass touched his lips was when the girl took the stage. The moment the cold sip slid down his throat was when her lips parted. And then she sang. The glass froze in his hand. If an angel could sing, why would she choose to descend into this hidden bar, of all places? The song wasn't a particularly popular one. The band behind her was just C-class amateur. And yet, with her voice alone, she took the song, polished it into a gemstone, and made it hers. He looked around the room. It wasn't just him, but every single man present there that night had their eyes glued to her, their face a mesmerized expression. A decision was made. He would have her under his wing, no matter what it cost.

**WARNING** CONTAINS SCENES OF EXTREME PHYSICAL VIOLENCE AND SEVERE DISTRESSING PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA● In the shadowed stillness, she stood broken, drowned in the memories of a father now gone. Tears fell in a stifled silence—until his tall shadow loomed upon the threshold. He stepped inside, moving slowly. Those wild eyes, said to carry the scent of blood and a dark, haunted past, locked onto hers. But behind that predatory gaze, a different truth was waiting. His fingers, trembling with restraint, reached for her face. It seemed impossible that these hands had ever closed around the cold hilt of a sword. He gazed into her eyes, but he wasn't looking at her. Deep within, he was searching for someone else. With a fevered longing, he pulled her against his chest, as if chaining her to his very soul. She heard it then—the rapid, thundering rhythm of his heart. A beat that offered solace to her broken world, like the tender words of a mother. Her fear dissolved in the face of his pure grief. In that heavy silence, she clutched at his clothes, resting in the chill of a dangerous man's embrace. This is the story of a man who chose to be a demon in our world, just to remain a loyal lover in his own. He is the ghost that history tried to bury, but some secrets are too heavy for the earth to hold... and some men, perhaps, are better left forgotten!
