    Kim Minjeong is Seoul's most articulate ghost. Under the pseudonym Maum Dephil, she runs a secret ghostwriting service for university students. She translates the messy, unsaid feelings of her clients into poetic confessions written in Midnight Blue ink. To the public, she is a faceless genius. To her best friend Jimin, she is just a dry witted Literature major. Minjeong spends her nights giving a voice to everyone else's love stories while her own feelings remain locked in a password protected folder called the J Archive. The system cracks when Jimin starts hiring her. Jimin is the charismatic bassist who occupies every unwritten line of Minjeong's heart, but now she is paying Minjeong to write love letters to other girls. Between the slow burn tension of their study sessions and the ache of being a safe harbor for a girl who does not see her, Minjeong is running out of metaphors. How do you write the perfect confession for the person you are losing?

    It all started with Psychofiesta. A psychology department event that was supposed to be about psychology somehow turned into emotional warfare, public breakdowns, and one very questionable leadership decision- Mine. Somewhere between directing a production that was falling apart, questioning whether I was in love with Voji or Russell or just emotionally unstable and dealing with Akash, things got complicated. Then Adrien Maxwell walked in. And suddenly, this wasn't just confusion anymore. It was a mess. A love triangle? No. More like emotional geometry- with too many angles and no clear answers. Because liking someone is easy. Figuring out why...is where things falls apart.

The worst thing is starting to cough up flowers every time he thinks about him. - - - Or maybe we simply need more Nakamura stories... (On AO3 you can find me as Jiu9STAR)

    ❝ my blood is dirty but will never taint this oath. ❞ The house of Van Doran is one that has existed and dominated the wizarding world of Britain for centuries. Its heiress, Odette Van Doran, is Slytherin's mistress. She is the type of young witch completely destined to success-ambitious to the point of obsession, seductive and attractive not only physically but in her undeniable and velvety mystery. It is incredibly easy to fall for her trap, to obsess over her; she knows exactly how to leave somebody thinking and dreaming and yearning for her in near-painful ways. She, like her notorious mother, is ruthless. Only, when a particular heir to an equally ancient and highly powerful name is at risk of being auctioned to marriage, things begin uncovering themselves horrifically. Odette discovers her place in this world is much darker than she thought and that her life may be taken by her legacy.

    "Felt?" He repeats the word slowly, eyes not leaving mine. "You don't feel the same anymore?" I manage a small smile, more of a barrier to hold back emotions and less of an actual one. "I'm leaving in a month, Grayson. The logical thing is to let go of those feelings-" Of you "- but, you make it so damn hard." I blow out a breath, offering a sheepish smile this time.

    Thayu is learning how to carry silence. At home. At school. In the spaces where childhood should have been louder. Then there's Malik-easy laughter, steady presence, a warmth that arrives without asking. Marked by small things. Shared moments. Familiar corners. A sweetness in the air that lingers longer than it should. What begins quietly grows in the margins: walks that stretch too long, half-finished sketches, moments that almost happen, feelings without names. Around them, the world watches. Friends linger. Expectations hum. The future presses closer than either of them is ready for. My Banana Bubblegum is a slow-burn romance about closeness before confession, the ache of almost, and how some connections don't arrive loudly-they settle in, and stay.

Lumipas man ang mahabang panahon ngunit ang lahat ay tila kahapon lamang nangyari. Inilayo mo na nga ang iyong sarili ngunit kahit ano pang distansya ang namamagitan ay tila nasa malapit pa rin ito. At para kay Elle, hindi mali ang kanyang kutob dahil isang araw, nagpakita ang kanyang multo na nakasuot ng pang-food delivery rider.

    Three souls bound by destiny, their fates entwined in silence-until a fourth arrives to rewrite the legend, and hearts face a love they dare not name. A hundred years ago, a plan was set in motion to defeat the Calamity. It told of a brave young man who bore the soul of the hero and wielded the Sword that Seals the Darkness, a princess with the blood of the Goddess flowing through her veins, and a mighty demon king whose hatred cursed the land. These three were destined to clash in a long-foretold battle. Yet, unbeknownst to them, another would intervene-and her fate would become forever entwined with theirs, binding her soul to the same eternal curse that the three bearers of the Triforce were doomed to endure. This story is mine but the characters from the Legend of Zelda and the game itself is owned by Nintendo. The book cover is also not mine and belongs to another artist, but I may eventually draw my own to go with it.
