The boy next class

Sixteen-year-old Jimmy is the kind of boy who hides behind books, keeps his head down, and avoids attention. In a classroom full of laughter and chaos, he's the quiet storm—observant, intense, and withdrawn. But everything changes the day he hears devastating news: Simon, a boy from the next class—the boy he’s been quietly watching, secretly admiring—has just lost both of his parents in a tragic car accident. When Jimmy hears Simon’s name, something inside him shatters. Without fully understanding why, he runs—breaking every rule, crossing every line—to find the boy he's barely spoken to but somehow deeply cares for. His journey takes him beyond the school gates, into the silence of a riverside home, where grief has swallowed Simon whole. As Jimmy approaches Simon, what begins as awkward stammering soon turns into a quiet but powerful connection. Simon, closed off and bitter toward the world, doesn’t want comfort but Jimmy won’t leave, even if it means standing in silence with him. In the days that follow, through stolen glances, broken words, and unexpected moments of vulnerability, the two boys begin to understand each other. Beneath their pain is something deeper,a longing to be seen, to be held, and to be loved. The Boy Who Is In The Next Class is a heartfelt coming-of-age BL drama about grief, first love, and the courage it takes to stand beside someone in their darkest hour. It’s about the kind of love that doesn’t always come with grand gestures—but with quiet, unwavering presence.

The Undead's Personal Slave

Samantha never expected to find magic in her hometown, let alone in a dimly lit bar on a rainy Tuesday night. Yet here she was, perched on a barstool at the Black Swan, her world about to tilt on its axis. The air thrummed with an otherworldly energy she couldn't quite place. Ethereal dancers moved like smoke across the floor, their bodies fluid and mesmerizing. As Samantha nursed her drink, she felt the weight of curious stares prickling her skin. That's when she saw him. Marcus. A name she didn't know yet, but one that would soon be etched into her very soul. Their eyes locked across the crowded room, and Samantha's breath caught in her throat. He moved with predatory grace, all lean muscle and barely restrained power. Their first interaction was as intoxicating as it was bewildering. One moment, he was her gallant protector, rescuing her from an overly aggressive drunk. The next, his eyes hardened to chips of ice as he snarled, "Stupid girl," before melting into the shadows. Samantha's mind reeled, but her body hummed with an excitement she couldn't explain. Little did she know, this encounter was merely the first step into a world beyond her wildest fantasies – a realm where vampires ruled the night and pain blurred exquisitely with pleasure. As she delved deeper into this hidden society, Samantha found herself drawn to the intoxicating blend of power, submission, and supernatural allure. The crack of a whip, the whisper of leather, the exquisite sting of fangs – each sensation pushed her boundaries and ignited desires she never knew existed. But with every ecstatic high came the sobering reality of danger. Vampire politics were as deadly as they were intricate, and Samantha soon realized she was a pawn in a game where the stakes were life, death, and eternal servitude. As she left the Black Swan that night, Samantha couldn't shake the feeling that she stood on the precipice of something life-changing. She had no idea how right she was, or how deeply she would fall into a passionate, dangerous dance with forces beyond her imagination. The real question was: in this world where pleasure and peril intertwined so intimately, would she emerge empowered... or lose herself completely?

Ripples of the Rhône

Set in early 1990s Lyon, Ripples of the Rhône follows Lydia Shaw, an 18-year-old orphan racing to her Baccalauréat finals when she witnesses a stroller plunging into the churning Rhône River. Her split-second decision to rescue the drowning mother and child costs precious exam time – until a documentary crew captures the act, convincing strict Professor Laurent to admit her moments before deadline. The heroic deed earns Lydia a spot on Riverside Stories, Lyon’s beloved TV series, where she earns her first paycheck and collides with Gavin Sterling – the artistic rebel she’s secretly sketched in her notebooks for years. Their summer blossoms amid Lyon’s traboule courtyards: Gavin teaching her to trace Renaissance frescoes, Lydia grounding his restless spirit. But when both win scholarships to Sorbonne University, Gavin vanishes overnight with only a tainted farewell: "Family obligations require my absence. Do not wait." Five years later, Lydia’s drowning in medical debts from her grandmother’s illness. Desperate, she agrees to Jonathan Chase’s contract marriage proposal: two years of staged matrimony in exchange for covered hospice care. As she signs the papers in his penthouse office, the elevator opens to reveal Gavin – now a razor-sharp executive in Tom Ford silk, scanning her thrift-store dress like a forgotten museum piece. When Jonathan’s pen touches the contract, Gavin slams his palm on the document, eyes blazing: "A marriage of convenience? Darling, I’m the only candidate qualified to ruin you properly.

Synchronicity Of Souls

Synopsis In a world that moves too fast for hearts to speak, two souls—unknown to each other, yet somehow already familiar—cross paths in a moment that feels less like chance and more like the whisper of destiny. He is a quiet storm, a man of still waters and unfinished sentences, carrying the weight of memories that no longer belong to him. She is a flicker of light, a woman stitched together by poems and pauses, searching for something she cannot name. Neither is looking for the other, and yet, life folds time and space just enough to make them collide. Drawn together by the hush between heartbeats and the language of shared silence, their connection feels ancient—something that once was, and somehow, is again. In a world of missed trains and lost glances, their eyes find each other like constellations aligning across a night sky they've always belonged to. But was it fate that led them here… or the slow, sacred pull of souls remembering what the world has forgotten? This is not a story about falling in love. This is a story about being found—in the echoes of past lives, in the poetry of presence, in the deep, unspoken knowing that some strangers are not strangers at all. Blurb “What happens when healing comes from silence, and love arrives when you’ve already given up on being seen?” Leila Zaman never expected freedom to feel so heavy—until Milan gave her space to breathe, and a stranger began to notice the parts of her even she had forgotten. A poetic, emotional journey through family scars, quiet strength, and a slow-burn love worth staying for. #FamilyDrama #SlowBurnRomance #SouthAsianVoices
