Despite Eli's attempts to push Adrian away, Adrian remains steadfast, offering kindness and patience without expectation. As their relationship develops, Eli grapples with the fear of being vulnerable and the belief that he doesn't deserve Adrian's unwavering affection. The story follows Eli's emotional journey as he navigates the challenges of opening up to love and the transformative power of Adrian's relentless support.

In a tale of healing and self-discovery, "Falling Like Stars" explores the struggle between past wounds and the promise of new beginnings, love, vulnerability, and the journey to self-acceptance, showing that sometimes, the greatest battles are fought within ourselves.

She was the golden girl who disappeared. He was the boy who never stopped watching her shine. Now they're working under the same roof-and the waves are getting harder to ignore. Adrianna "Addie" Sinclair used to be unbeatable-an Olympic-bound swimmer with medals, fame, and the pressure of a nation on her shoulders. But one panic attack during a high-stakes race shattered everything. Years later, she's swapped podiums for fins, performing as a professional mermaid at Aqua Haven, where she hides behind sequins, smiles, and carefully controlled distance. Enter Leo Hayes: marine vet, soft-hearted dork, and the guy who used to watch Addie swim like she ruled the ocean. When a surprise blind date throws them together, sparks fly-but so do Addie's defenses. She doesn't do vulnerability. And she definitely doesn't do second chances. But fate's not finished. When Leo starts working at Aqua Haven, their lives collide all over again. And this time, Leo isn't content to watch from the sidelines. He wants to know the real her-the girl behind the glitter, the grief, the guarded sarcasm. And Addie? She's starting to want to be seen. As walls crack and chemistry builds, Addie has to decide: can she risk her heart again? Or will she keep swimming for safety-before love pulls her under? Started: February 9, 2024 Status: Ongoing

DISCLAIMER: This story contains themes of emotional and physical abuse, mental health struggles, toxic relationships, and self-destructive behaviors. It portrays difficult and complex emotions that may be triggering for some readers. If you are sensitive to these topics, please proceed with caution. This is a work of fiction, inspired by real emotions and experiences, but it does not intend to glorify or promote harmful behaviors. If you or someone you know is struggling, please seek support from a trusted friend, professional, or helpline. You are not alone. Some wounds don't bleed. They fester in silence. Sofia has spent her whole life being told what love is-through whispered apologies, bruised promises, and the kind of pain that lingers long after the bruises fade. She's learned to survive in a home that never felt like one, to smile through the weight of secrets no child should carry. Then there's Zayn. He's everything she should stay away from-reckless, untouchable, dangerous in ways she can't name. But when he looks at her, she feels seen in a way she never has before. In his arms, the world quiets, the chaos stills... until reality reminds her that happiness was never hers to keep. Because love is supposed to hurt. Right? And when the past refuses to stay buried, Sofia is forced to choose: the life she's always known or the one that might destroy her. Some truths are too heavy to speak. Some love stories are never meant to last.

In a world where appearances deceive and success doesn't always mean fulfillment, Ryan Ferraro and Misha Verma exist on opposite ends of the spectrum-yet they are bound by an unspoken emptiness. Ryan, a man who seemingly has it all-power, wealth, and a name that commands the skies-finds himself haunted by an ache he cannot name. No amount of achievements, no boardroom victories, can silence the quiet discontent gnawing at him. He has built an empire, yet within its towering walls, he feels alone. Misha, on the other hand, has learned to survive in a world that never truly belonged to her. A daughter bound by expectations, a woman fighting to carve her own path, she has spent her life proving her worth to those who refuse to see it. With every step she takes toward freedom, the weight of her past threatens to pull her back. She has nothing, yet she clings to hope like a lifeline. Two souls drowning-one in excess, the other in absence. When fate forces their paths to cross once more, old wounds resurface, and unspoken words fill the silence between them. But in a world where both have learned to endure, will they find solace in each other-or will they prove that some voids are never meant to be filled?
