When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful. - Malala Yousafzai We share our emotions through art. Through writing, painting, and composing. In a world where no one shares their inner music anymore, some begin to lose themselves and become Muted. When Solveig's brother becomes one of them, she refuses to accept his silence. To save him, she must find not only his lost voice, but her own and discover that even in the quietest world, a single voice can awaken many.

Roberto Venturi is a lonely creator who turns music into vivid inner worlds. It's the only thing keeping him alive after losing his job and the person he loved. When Haruki Turner - the second biggest creator on the planet - shows up in his life, Roberto is dragged into a conflict far beyond social media. Their enemy is Black Nure, a global icon worshipped as a living goddess by her two billion followers. She's hunting the Danish Venus, a mythical being said to heal any psychological wound with a single kiss. But Black Nure isn't the only power watching him. Haoran - one of her most devoted followers - has been chosen to observe Roberto's evolution from the shadows, a silent witness whose role will grow far beyond what anyone expects. If Black Nure finds the Danish Venus first, she may become a true deity, and humanity's freedom could end forever. Roberto must face a cosmic threat... and the shadows inside himself, as the line between myth and reality begins to break.

This is literally a collection of songs and how I see them with my synesthesia (chromesthesia). I will still be posting some form of prose into the posts, inspired by the song.

Bryson Cole was famous before he understood what it meant. He wrote his first songs at twelve. Signed a record deal at fourteen. By sixteen, his voice was everywhere. Stadiums. Radios. Bedrooms lit by phone screens at midnight. People said his music saved them. No one asked what it took from him. At twenty four, it all stopped. A concert. A crowd. A gun. Sixty four people died. Thirty two were injured. Bryson lived, and that was the part he could not forgive. He disappeared without explanation. Interviews were ignored. Tours were canceled. Albums were abandoned mid lyric. The world waited for answers that never came, while Bryson drowned in the certainty that his voice had brought them there. That if he had never sung, they would have gone home alive. Silence became punishment. Drugs became necessary. Caring became impossible. Singing became a wound he could not touch. Seven years passed without a sound. Amber Lynn is twenty nine and lives inside noise. She has synesthesia, a condition that tangles her senses together. Voices have colors. Music has texture. Sound presses against her skin and lingers long after it ends. Most of it hurts. Most of it is too much. Bryson Cole's voice never was. To Amber, his sound was soft purple, pink at the center, steady and warm. It tasted like caramel. It was one of the few things in the world that did not overwhelm her. She had loved his music since she was nineteen, until the night it vanished. Then the silence broke. A notification appeared. A name she had stopped expecting. A single released without warning. Don't Dream It's Over. Nine months later, concert tickets dropped. As Bryson prepares to return to the stage he abandoned, he is forced to face the night that ruined him and the people who never stopped waiting. Because music does not heal everyone. Sometimes it only reminds them of what they lost.

Her voice was the color blue, her name was a deep purple, she made me feel bright pink. But she was forbidden, because it is not acceptable to be in love with your best friend as a 14 year old girl.

"I am the textbook definition of in love with you." *** Jazz Red has had a life full of love; his parents taught him how to value himself, his siblings taught him how to stand up for what he believed in, and his family has taught him what it means to matter to people. He has people in his corner, there for him and ready to have his back. He knows that there are people who are less lucky than him-- with unaccepting parents and cruel siblings and a harsh past. He knows that when things go wrong, sometimes people are alone. Sometimes they fall apart, and there's no one else there to catch their shattered pieces. But he isn't one of them. He has friends and family that love him. So why does he want more? Why does he-- even with all the joy his family gives him-- want a different type of love? He feels selfish, undeserving. Why did he have to feel so bad about being alone when he was surrounded by people who appreciated him? Why did he have to want, why did desire never leave him alone? Well, he finds out when he meets Castor Rex, a quiet and extremely interesting football player, and that empty part in Jazz's heart feels a little bit bigger when he starts to realize Cas could fill it. Cas sees him as a grinning, happy dork he has no chance with. Jazz sees him as a adorable, grumpy jock that now, is his. Castor wants to get through the school year as quietly as possible but with how loud Jazz loves, neither of them know if it's possible, and to make matters worse they're roommates for the rest of the year. It's only a matter of time before they come together or fall apart. *** Red's Series #4. Crossover to @whoscountinganyways User Series. Can be read as a stand alone.

Haru watched as the vibrant color swirled around her hands, glowing red for the anger she felt. Seeing all the colors of the damn rainbow was horribly useless. She already knew what mood she was in, Haru didn't need the stupid colors to show her. What was the damn point of it all? Day in and day out she wished for something to change, longed for the colors to disappear. But what happens when Haru can suddenly see someone else's colors? Well, wasn't life just one cruel motherf*cker. © flordemens

Felix Swift is a teenager with a big problem; He just can't stay awake. And falling asleep at the wrong moment has already caused him more trouble in the past year than most people will ever experience. Relocating to the countryside with his family brings with it a whole new set of problems. Missing persons, freak storms, crop circles, all-night raves, the local gang, not to mention the challenge of baby-sitting his annoying little brother. His time in the 'arse-end of nowhere' is proving to be every bit as wild as his years growing up in South London. But as Felix soon discovers, village life also holds the keys and the clues to the adventure of a lifetime, and an opportunity to nurture the seeds of friendships that will last forever. ***************************************************************************** Dear Readers, If you are enjoying The Brightlings, please don't forget to vote for each chapter, and feel free to comment (provided you don't post spoilers).
