ONC 2026 Round 1 Ambassador's Pick and Winner ❤️Round 2 Winner 🏆 ❤️Prompt 46:"We love broken, beautiful people. And it doesn't get more obviously broken and more classically beautiful than you."People love to call it fate when two lives brush past each other in a crowded city, as if only the universe gets to play matchmaker.But I know better.I work in restoration, and I have an eye for broken things that need it. I spend my days saving delicate, ruined things from time, from careless hands, from rot. I know how to scrape away grime without damaging what's underneath. I know how to make the broken look holy again.Then I see you.Elias Thorne-quiet grey eyes, and an even quieter presence that tempts me to learn more about you.You stand in front of blueprints like they're scripture, like you're trying to understand the soul of a building the way I try to understand the soul of a person. And something inside me clicks into place so perfectly it scares me.That's when I knew. I finally found the missing, broken part of me. I finally found my soulmate.I'm not here to pass through your story, Elias. I'm here to edit it. To erase what came before and peel away every ghost you still keep tucked behind your ribs-especially the one named Kathy.And I've already started drawing the version of your life where there's only one name you remember.Because love can fade. But attachment doesn't. And I'll prove it-I'll Never Leave You.…

A spin-off to Lemonade After Midnight by @Faisal_WritesLook, I didn't mean to turn my college life into a crime scene of almosts and bad decisions.I was supposed to be the quiet girl with ink on her fingers, writing poems about other people's heartbreak. Not the one hiding a boy in her bathroom while her boyfriend asks if I love him. Not the girl who falls in love with her best friend's moody, mystery-eyed "emotionally unavailable" boyfriend and then writes poetries on why he's a terrible idea... and still wants him anyway just because he calls me Red.My name's Misty. I say yes when I should say no, apologize for things I haven't done yet, and apparently collect complicated men like guilty verdicts. Ashton is my golden boyfriend, theatre kid, the one who calls me "his" in front of everybody to whom I don't have the guts to say no to. And Fabian is an artist, soccer star, the one who writes poems about me without ever saying my name, and is... My best friend, Tara's boyfriend. It's not a love triangle. Perhaps a parallelogram. Or maybe it's a knot.Champagne toasts in the afternoon, confessions at midnight, stolen moments, the other side of the doors. If love is a test, I'm turning in three blank pages with my name scribbled on all of them.But honestly, what's the worst that could happen when you're writing poetry about a boy you should hate, saying "yes" to a boy who loves you too much, and watching the girl who trusts you the most hang stars on his wall?Oh. Right....College romance • messy love triangles • cheating themesPoetic prose • obsessive inner monologue • Taylor-Swift-coded heartbreak • faith and guilt • slow emotional breakdowns, fast bad decisions.…

He thought he loved her.But in his world, love meant waiting. Watching. Wanting.Mudassir has always been haunted-by his father's control, by years of silence, and by the memory of a girl from university who never knew him more than just an acquaintance. Post-graduation, still trapped in emotional ruin, he finds her again... but not the way he hoped.She's changed. She's moved on. She's engaged. But not him. To him, if it runs-it means chase.As obsession festers, therapy rooms turn into battlegrounds. Kindness is mistaken for invitation. And the line between affection and control begins to disappear. When the past claws its way back into the present, what can truly be salvaged-and what was never real to begin with?This isn't a typical love story, but a descent of obsession, projection, and the danger of trying to fit someone into the shape of your wounds.He didn't just fall in love with her.He built a life around wanting her....In the book cover, that's me lol and is made and photographed by me. ...⚠️ Trigger Warning:This story contains depictions of mental illness (depression, anxiety, OCD, narcissistic traits), suicidal ideation, emotional abuse, death threats, substance use, and toxic family dynamics.Reader discretion is strongly advised.

[2024 Shorty's Winner]A verse novel that weaves through the woes and wonders of life and experiences - metaphoric to love. It redefines finality to the point that it becomes more like a beginning to second chances. Chase is determined to get her, despite knowing the impossibilities that come through. The more he changed things, the more the patterns remained the same. He believes changing the hows of his desires might change the whats, but would it really? Desirée is more of a wallflower, staying to herself. Always committed to un-cherished relationships, she's only desired as long as she's gone. When she's always chased as a pursuit, but never as a keeper, how long would history repeat itself til she's really loved?A perspective story on how parting ways can reshape another's destiny.The story transitions between two perceptions, hence categorized into Volumes I and II.Trigger Warning:This book contains themes of depression, anxiety, and alcohol and drug use. Readers who may be sensitive to these topics or who are experiencing similar issues might find certain passages distressing. Please proceed with caution and prioritize your well-being while reading.…

Just like the right puzzle to hug the other but forming the wrong picture in hindsight. Like fire and water signs, forming nothingness after mergence. Like matching a flame for the match to die through the mismatch.

Featured on @Romance in the Young Love reading list. ❤️Genre: Dark Romance/New Adult Unable to change her imperfectly plotted storyline, Michelle just couldn't when it was always the synonyms of the words that changed when she tried, but never the plot twists. The sadistic author like the clock hands, wrote fate with the strokes of the ticks, leaving no room for a change. And somehow, she was that book, tossed in a corner of a bookshelf, on which dust settled with time as a reminder of her unaccompanied presence. The frayed ends of the pages wore out from each time, a reader would come, and read whatever appealed to them, letting her go after the bad plotline of her first - past - chapters. That was where that bookmark stuck, somewhere midway between the chapters, mistaken as the end of the story. It paralysed her into a moment in time, with her unturned pages not letting her move on to the next, that was unless someone else did. And then he came. A reader who probably couldn't change the stroke of the pen of time, as much as she couldn't as a character in her story. But he didn't just read her either. From drawing stars on footnotes, and hearts as annotations on the margins, he highlighted and savoured her moments as if he didn't want to let go of them, just yet. He read and reread her over and over until he had memorised her enough. And somehow, she was someone's favourite book. The feelings of falling for each other happened to break into an artwork of mosaic in the end. But when broken puzzles finally fit each other, the formed picture doesn't always come off as expected.Disclaimer:This story contains mature themes and suicidal thoughts/actions, drug abuse, and mental disorders, that might be triggering for some readers, therefore reader discretion is advised.This book is affiliated with my poems, Our Elegies and Mismatch Flame.…

A collection of lyrical locutions and sad elegies composed by me. Like the our-song of a sweet couple, our elegies is the exact opposite of that -- for a dying love. My new album, Our Elegies, is a poetic literary piece of heartbreak on a paper. The theme of the whole album is a dark aesthetic, that actually resonates with my current situation. Our Elegies literally means songs for the dead, be it a person or a relation. Painting is with colours of pain, uncalled mistakes, regret, hurt and sadness. The album mostly reminisces on my past relationships, dictated by my current relationship and overall, reverberates through lost and found friendships. I don't intend upon actually singing these songs as per now, but perhaps in the future I might release them. They're purely composed by me and on my personal experiences, which obviously reverberates through the ones I experienced in university. (Very typical of me I know). Because is a song actually real if not based on reality? Our Elegies can also be sung as a standalone album, or related to my upcoming novel I might publish in the future.Till then, thank you for being my heartbreaking muse. ;)All rights reserved. ®Rankings:#487 in poemsAchievements:🥇1st Place in Libra Awards🥉3rd place in the Banana Awards2nd Place in the Lyra Awards…
