healing romance slowburn

This is not a story about falling fast.
It's not about fireworks, grand gestures, or perfect words.

It's about the quiet things.
Soft mornings.
Steady hands.
The warmth of someone who stays.

Zei never thought she could trust love again - not until Kael.
Not until his quiet, patient heart taught her that some people don't leave.

Some people become home.

This is a story for the ones still learning how to trust.
For the ones still healing.
For the ones who believe love has to hurt -
Until someone shows them it doesn't.

Because sometimes, love isn't loud.
It's just there.
And it stays.

The Same Heart by tales_of_echo

This isn't about forgetting. It's about choosing love again. With the same heart, that once loved another.

From Arrangement to Affection by TiyaS_Readz

They met not by chance, but through the gentle weaving of family ties - two souls introduced under the warm glow of tradition. Both quiet, thoughtful, and wrapped in their own worlds, they never expected anything more than polite conversations and practiced smiles. Yet, something about each other felt strangely familiar - as if they had been waiting for this silence, this comfort, all along. He admired her grace, the way she listened more than she spoke. She found peace in his calmness, in the steadiness that mirrored her own heart. But when the room emptied and it was just the two of them, words seemed too heavy, glances too loud. Between awkward pauses and shy smiles, emotions began to bloom - soft, hesitant, but beautifully real. Their love didn't come with fireworks; it arrived like morning light - slow, gentle, and quietly certain. From arranged meetings to stolen moments, from hesitation to heartbeats in sync, they learned that love doesn't always have to be loud to be true. Sometimes, it's found in the spaces between words, in the way two souls simply exist together - without trying, without pretending. Two hearts, the same yet shy, Met under fate's gentle sky. In silence, their love took form, Quiet hearts began to warm. Not chosen by chance, but care, Love bloomed softly - unaware. To know more read the book

Until The Last Breath "A Journey Of Love And War" by silent_mic1026

Published under Ukoyoto Publishing in August 6, 2025 ISBN 9789371829502 This is the story of a life truly lived. This is about choosing each other through the heartbreaks, the long silences, the pride, and the poverty. About a woman who carried the weight of the family with quiet strength, and a man who came back not just to say sorry, but to stay and fight for her. They didn't just fall in love, they grew in it. Through betrayal, disappointment, and dreams that felt too far away. Their love wasn't loud, but it endured. Even when the house was rented, the future uncertain, and the days heavy with struggle, they laughed in the kitchen, kissed in front of their grown kids, and kept choosing each other. This is a story of forgiveness, faith, and the kind of love that doesn't give up. A love that lasts until the very last breath.

When the sky falls by melericmoments

It started with a storm. Not the one outside, though the thunder did shake the windows, but the kind that builds inside a heart when fear and silence collide. He comes soaked, frantic, aching with guilt. She shatters in his arms. In the quiet that followed, between whispered apologies and tear-soaked skin, something shifted. Something raw, unspoken, real. The kind of truth that couldn't be buried under fake smiles or half-meant words. And when morning came, with rain still clinging to the earth, they stood side by side, soaked in the storm, brave in the aftermath. This isn't just a story about rain. It's about what happens when the sky falls... and the right person stays.

Almond by byzuwa

"Some people teach you how to speak again. Others make you wish you'd stayed silent." _____ Almond A quiet love. A buried past. A story that will leave you aching. She doesn't talk much-not about the things that matter. Not about the names she still can't say aloud. Not about the night that changed everything. She just wants to breathe without breaking. To disappear into the background and not be noticed. But He notices her. Gentle where others push, patient where others pry-he doesn't ask her to open up. He just stays. And sometimes, that's louder than words. But love is never simple. And even the softest hearts have storms waiting inside them. "A soft love story wrapped in ache, healing, and unspoken words. Walk with me through the quiet chaos of two broken hearts trying to find their way. You won't regret it." -----

WHAT THE WOODS GAVE ME by Wildandfree88

She went to the woods to disappear. But deep in the quiet wilderness, she finds more than solitude. Something far more unexpected - soft mornings, slow healing, herself ... and him. A quiet story about healing, second chances, silent scars, and the kind of love that grows where no one's looking.

Brutally yours by Inkiijita

To the quiet girls with stormy hearts. To the boys who feel too much but show too little. To those who were never chosen first - but loved like they were the last. This story is for the unseen, the unheard, the untamed. For every soul who thought they were "too soft" for this world - and found someone who didn't just see their softness, but protected it with fire. For anyone who still believes that love isn't always gentle - but when it's real, it is brutally honest, brutally fierce, and brutally yours. And most of all - To the one who dreams loud in silence: This is your story. You just haven't lived it yet.

Little Light (GxG) by special_anonym

In a world that moves too fast, she's learning to breathe slowly. To feel again. To let someone touch the parts of her she thought were long gone. There are no crowns here. No thrones. Just the quiet war of learning how to be held without flinching. She doesn't beg for safety. She creates it in silence. And when she kneels, it's not for weakness- it's because she trusts. But trust has a pulse. And it just might be hers. A story of shadows softened by light, of control given, not taken. Of healing whispered through touch, and love written in silence. This isn't where the pain begins. It's where it learns to rest. ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ : EMOTIONAL INTIMACY SUBSPACE SLOW-BURN HEALING TRIGGERING THEMES (VULNERABILITY, TRUST, PAST TRAUMA)

WHERE THE QUIET LIVES.. by mitchiexx4

She lived her life in silence - not because she didn't have a voice, but because the world had taught her that being quiet meant being safe. Mimi was the kind of girl who stayed late at work just to avoid the noise of the crowd. A brilliant data analyst with soft eyes and a tired heart, she'd mastered the art of keeping people out - even when every part of her ached to be seen. Then came Leo - tattoo artist, heart-on-sleeve, and more patient than anyone had a right to be. Covered in ink and kindness, he met her not with noise, but with stillness. And for the first time, she wasn't afraid of being known. This isn't the story of grand gestures or love at first sight. It's about the space between the words. The way two quiet souls find each other in a world that never stops screaming. It's about love that waits. And hands that never rush. Where the Quiet Lives is a slow burn - for the overthinkers, the introverts, and anyone who's ever needed time to believe they're worthy of love.

𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐈 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭 by i-love-sunflowers

Kayla had it all mapped out-study hard, chase her dreams, and keep her heart out of the equation. Love wasn't part of the plan. It never was. But then she met him. A single glance. A shift in the air. And suddenly, the life she thought she wanted didn't feel complete anymore. She told herself to stay focused. That her goals came first. But he made her laugh when she wasn't supposed to. He saw through the walls she didn't know she'd built. And with every moment, every quiet exchange, something began to unfold between them-something deep, real... and terrifying. She didn't know if it was love. She just knew it felt like everything she never knew she needed. All I Want is a story of unexpected connection, quiet longing, and the kind of love that rewrites everything. ❀•*+❀•ᴀʟʟ ɪ ᴡᴀɴᴛ•❀+*•❀ 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 : 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 • 𝟏𝟎 • 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏 𝐄𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 : 𝐌𝐚𝐲 •𝟏𝟖 • 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟐
