Some relationships don’t break. They bend, strain, and demand everything.
RISE//REPEAT//REMAIN is a collection of interconnected short stories following Ryan and Michaela through the moments that decide whether love survives or falls apart.
The arguments that linger. The silence that cuts deeper than words. The kind of tension that refuses to stay contained.
Each story stands alone while building a larger portrait of a relationship shaped by miscommunication, desire, and the choice to stay. They pull apart. They come back. They try again.
Set outside of the Wider mythos, this self-contained collection delivers slow-burn tension, emotional intensity, and intimacy that lingers.
For readers who crave messy, character-driven romance where love isn’t easy, but it’s impossible to walk away from.
Not every story follows the same path.
Some rise. Some unravel. Some refuse to end at all.
RISE // REPEAT // REMAIN is a dynamic collection of short fiction that moves between the intimate and the extraordinary—blending quiet, character-driven moments with stories that stretch across time, identity, and possibility.
From fleeting encounters to life-altering choices, from the deeply personal to the strangely surreal, each piece offers a different lens on what it means to exist, to change, and to endure.
Together, these stories form a mosaic of resilience, transformation, and the many ways we navigate the world – imperfect, evolving, and undeniably human.
No two journeys are the same.
But each one leaves a mark.
