Golden Goodbye

Yyyyg_Tuugy
*Golden Goodbye* is a Pakistani romance set in the heart of Punjab — a story of two young hearts who love each other completely, and lose each other painfully. Not because they stopped loving. But because the world never gave their love permission to exist. **Shiraz** is a twelve year old boy from a small village near Sambrial, Sialkot. The youngest son of a WAPDA lineman. Bright, friendly, carefree — a boy who has never once thought about love. **Parisa** is a thirteen year old girl from Faisalabad. The eldest daughter of a powerful landlord and politician. Confident, graceful, beautiful — a girl entirely focused on her studies and her future. They meet by accident at a Haqiqa ceremony. One silent moment. Two pairs of eyes. No words. And then they go back to their separate worlds. But something has already changed. Quietly. Permanently. What follows is a love that grows slowly across the distance between a simple village and a grand city — in stolen glances and unspoken feelings. A love that was never supposed to happen. And yet did. The problem was never their hearts. The problem was the world between them. A WAPDA lineman's son does not belong in a Chaudhry's world. And a Chaudhry's daughter was never meant for a village boy with no land and no name. Their goodbye is not angry. Not cold. It is golden — like a sunset that breaks your heart precisely because it is so beautiful. *"They didn't stop loving each other. The world just made loving each other impossible."*

Beauty and the Thief [BL]

Tao Hua's life is fucking miserable, and that misery somehow earns him the title of "Village Disgrace." In order to cope with the awful treatment, he often retreats into words untold, dictated by the flip of a page. These worlds leave him with the dream of escaping this piece of shit town. To his utter dismay, his wish comes true, but not in the way all those fairytales promised. His saviour is a man he becomes enthralled with and whom he names “Lord No-Name.” This male lead is a touchy man with many faces. And for lack of a better word, Tao Hua can’t decide if he’s either the story’s love interest or villain. But the two share a common sentiment. This prince, alike Tao Hua, is also fucking miserable. But arguably worse! And instead of coping like a normal fucking person, he does the opposite. He doesn't escape. He doesn't cope. He just tries to fight against the already fated truth of his demise. 0/10, worst prince ever written. Misery aside, this fateful encounter will force Tao Hua to make a choice, leaving him with only one question: "What was one mean-spirited beast to a town of people who despise a beauty's entire existence?" ──── ୨୧ ──── Beauty and the Thief is a slow-burn, stop to smell the roses, type of novel. That being said, the roses are beautiful, and upon closer observation they’re less floral than once thought. It follows the POV of Tao Hua, as he tries to navigate his new life in a place that actually values him, and the prince of this story’s mood swings. ──── ୨୧ ──── !!!!Disclaimer!!!! EXTREMELY SLOW PACED! This story borrows the premise of Beauty and the Beast, by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont, relying heavily on the trope while also twisting it to smithereens. The beast element is exchanged for a power dynamic, and the curse differs from the original story. The narration borders on sarcastic and self-aware, while also targeting deeper topics. It often breaks the fourth wall as a stylistic choice. A lot of the work will be edited over time, but the bones will remain the same.
