Two New Stories. Two Pen Names. A Whole Lotta Feels.

 

🎨🎤

by Seraphine Vela

Hey, friends, readers, and fellow messy-heart-havers—

If you've been craving emotionally-charged storytelling with a touch of glam and a dash of "oh no, why am I crying again?" then babe, you're in luck. I just dropped two new stories under my pen name Seraphine Vela, and they’re here to wreck you softly.

Let’s break it down:


🎨 Art Class Heart Mess

To Read Art Class, Heart Mess click here

Remember that art class where you weren’t sure if the charcoal dust on your cheek was from sketching or crying over your class crush? Multiply that by ten and throw in some emotional growth, intimate tension, and quiet heartbreak, and you’ve got Art Class Heart Mess.

This is a story for anyone who’s ever fallen for someone who doesn’t even know they’re your muse. It’s about the fragility of being seen—really seen—and how vulnerability isn’t just beautiful; it’s brave. The vibes? Think soft indie movie where every glance lingers a beat too long. Where healing is messy, and sometimes, so is love.


🎤 Idol Siren

This one’s for the dreamers. The burnt-out stars. The ones who shine too hard for their own good.

Idol Siren follows a rising talent with glitter in her hair and doubt in her veins. She’s got the look, the voice, the fans—but behind the sparkle is a girl barely holding it together. This story peels back the curtain on the idol industry, fame, and the price of always performing. It’s soulful, raw, and maybe a little too real.

Expect:
✨ complicated friendships
✨ stolen moments under stage lights
✨ aching loneliness in crowded rooms

It’s not just about chasing dreams—it’s about surviving them.


Both stories live in that lovely space I like to call emotional realism with lipstick stains. They’re deeply personal, quietly powerful, and speak to the version of us that’s still figuring things out. So if you like your fiction like your eyeliner—sharp, expressive, and prone to smudging when the feelings hit—go ahead and dive in.

💌 Let me know what you think. Scream into the void (aka my inbox). Leave a review if you're feeling generous. Tell your friends if you’re feeling chaotic.

Until next time,
xo Seraphine

🌸🩸 Crimson Reprise — The Fight Is Over. So Why Does It Still Hurt?

by Rin Nocturne

The city is quiet now.
The monsters are gone.
So why does Arin still feel like she’s at war?

My latest story, Crimson Reprise, is now out in the world—and it’s free to read (yes, really).

💔 What happens after the magical war ends?

In Crimson Reprise, we pick up after the last transformation sequence has faded, and the weapons have been put down. Avalon has been saved. But Arin, one of the last Bloom warriors, hasn’t. Not really.

The world says “thank you,” but doesn’t quite know what to do with the girl who bled for it. Arin's glory days are over. The magical system that once defined her has crumbled. Now, she’s left to ask the hardest question of all:

Who am I, if I’m no longer chosen?


🌹 A story for the forgotten heroes

This one’s personal. For anyone who's ever felt used up by something they once loved. For the ex-gifted kids, the burned-out believers, the ones trying to build an identity from broken glass and lost purpose.

You’ll find:

🗡 post-magical girl grief
🌸 friendships that saved you once, and maybe could again
🖤 flashbacks to battles that still haunt the survivors
🌙 poetic melancholy meets raw emotional drama
🔥 the aching possibility of starting over

And if the name Juno breaks your heart by the end… yeah. Same. (No spoilers, but like. Ugh.)


⚔️ For the mahou shoujo survivors

Crimson Reprise isn’t about the war. It’s about the wreckage. It’s about survival—not the flashy kind, but the slow, trembling, still-crying-some-days kind. It’s about being brave enough to love life again. Maybe even yourself.

If you’ve ever whispered “I miss who I used to be” into a pillow at 3 a.m., Arin sees you.

If you’ve ever rebuilt your heart from ashes and dared to hope again—you’ll find pieces of yourself in these pages.

Read it. Feel it. Let it haunt you in the softest way.

🌒 Crimson Reprise is available now. For free. Because healing shouldn’t come with a price tag.

Take a look here: Crimson Reprise

And if it resonates with you, tell someone. Or cry about it online. Both are valid.

With shadow-kissed love,
Rin Nocturne
