Student Love

In the eternal Portuguese city of students, there is a history of encounters and disagreements between those who came from far away to find each other. It is on the European side of the Atlantic that we meet Elano, a good Brazilian boy who comes to Coimbra to study law because he wants to give his family a better life, and Maria Aparecida, a girl-woman still too innocent to know what she wants from life, student and lover of literature, of few means and many dreams, who travels from Rio to Coimbra to fulfill his missing mother's last wish. For Prince Elano, it's love at first sight for Princess Cida. For Maria Aparecida, it's love at first sight... for Conrado Werneck, Elano's infamous colleague, unaware that, under that silent film hero appearance, Conrado is the biggest crook to inhabit the city that the Mondego River bathes. In a web of connections, collisions and mismatched loves, will Elano be able to show Cida the true face of that love triangle? P.S. – Amor de Estudante is an old fado (which I love in Zeca Afonso's version) whose lyrics gave rise to the inspiration for this story: “They say that student love Oh, it doesn't last more than an hour Only mine is so old If you don't leave”

The premise here is that David and Megan are soul mates doomed to meet and miss across the centuries. Each chapter will function as an isolated story in which these characters that irritatingly do not get out of my head meet in a past life, that is, in any place and date that spring from my half-crazy imagination. Just a vision of a crazy Portuguese woman who should already have her wits about her. P.S.1: For the sake of making the story easier I will be anachronistic and keep the name of the protagonists in any situation and in the same way everyone will always speak in Portuguese (Take that Shakespeare!) P.S.2: Not all stories will have a happy ending. You already know that, unfortunately, that´s life. P.S.3: The characters belong to Felipe Miguez, Izabel de Oliveira and Rede Globo de Televisão, but I have more love for them. P.S.4: The title for this fanfic was supposed to be Seven Lives, but I was afraid the universe would collapse. P.S.5: Portuga, enough about P.S., no?
