About our love stories

Short love stories about how people find each other and what keeps them together: a couple guided by the stars, a romance that grows over pastries and quiet mornings, a locket found again after years apart, a healer and a blacksmith who build a life around music and metal. Many are set in small villages and festivals, some span a lifetime or even several generations.

There's first love, long-distance love and second chances, mostly with happy endings, though a few will make you sigh. Each takes about four minutes, a short romance you can finish in one sitting.

For love with more heartbreak, see our sad stories and drama. For something lighter, our happy stories.
