    Summary

    Joanne knows her boyfriend is dangerous.

    Summary

    The Mojave does not leave room for softness, and yet it finds its way in anyway.

    A sniper shaped by loss and discipline and a courier shaped by violence and myth are drawn together in the quiet spaces between survival and consequence, where something unsteady and unspoken begins to take root.

    But as war gathers at Hoover Dam and the weight of the past presses in from every direction, they are forced to confront a simple, impossible question:

    What parts of themselves are they willing to lose in order to hold onto each other?

    Summary

    ⋆⁺₊⋆ 𓃹 ⋆⁺₊⋆

    A dark, hooded figure emerged from the dense snowstorm, growing far too tall as it approached. You shuffled back weakly in the bloodstained snow and winced as you jostled the trap clamped on your boot.

    “What is this?” the man’s voice rumbled, muffled behind his mask. “You are…not what I expected to catch today.” He crouched and cupped your cheek reverently, as if you were a tiny creature whose delicate bones would snap at a too-rough touch.

    You flinched at first — but he was warm, so warm.

    “You are very far from home, aren’t you, Kleines Häschen?” he mused, honeyed words drawn out slowly as you relaxed into his palm. “Come, let me tend to your wound. Rest by my fire, just for a little while.”

    The man scooped you up from the snow, unresisting. Sleep whispered sweet temptation as you were cradled to his chest, lulled by the blood loss and his steady steps. You gave in to the beckoning darkness, and allowed your heavy lids to close, like he said—

    just for a little while.

    Summary

    Kim Taerae has spent his life mastering the art of being invisible. To maintain his family’s prestigious image, his nature has been bleached away by experimental suppressants, leaving him a scentless, hollow shadow of an Omega.

    When a marriage contract binds him to Park Gunwook—a "True Alpha" whose presence is as overwhelming as it is steady—Taerae expects a new cage. He is prepared for a master, for demands, and for the inevitable discovery of his "broken" biology. What he isn’t prepared for is a man who is willing to wait, a home that smells of cedar and honey, and the terrifying realization that for the first time in his life, someone is listening for his heartbeat instead of his silence.

    Summary

    She stopped at the edge of the black smoke, tilting her head down and squeezing her eyes shut with all the energy she could muster. All of a sudden, as if there was a giant hand forcing her mouth open, a thick, tar-like, substance spilled out of her lips. That wasn't right. Wasn't it usually green? More screams followed all at the same time, thousands begging, wailing, whispering, pleading before they all joined together in order to sing as one:

    “Seek the Hub where the Hare takes flight
    To Bargain with Songs in the Dead of Night
    The Sun’s Heart Shall Guide Your Way
    As Shadows Thin to Ghostly Gray
    One Bond Breaks to Mend the Soul
    And Make a Fractured Union Whole”

    Rachel collapsed onto the ground with a heavy thud. The campfire died out. The camp was silent once more.

    Chiron made eye contact with Nico from across the dark. “Nico di Angelo, come with me.”

    OR

    Nico and Will go on a quest to unite Orpheus and Eurydice while trying not to humiliate themselves with their feelings

    Summary

    He had stood before Simon and stayed and damn him if even for just a second, he wanted to believe that heaven was real.

    He had offered his kindness, his patience, his hand, and selfishly— foolishly, Simon prayed that for once, just once, his gluttony could go unburdened. That daring to desire instead of condemn— That daring to run and breathe and wonder wouldn’t lead him towards the light and then paint the gates to heaven in his filth.

    Funny. There’s blood everywhere, but none of it is his.

    AKA: Simon deals with the aftermath. Ryland echoes what transpired. Both have a bad time.

    Summary

    In a world where alphas rule, betas are sold as slaves, and omega are merely property for the alphas to use and breed, true mates feels like little more than a cruel fairy tale.

    Aziraphale and Azriel Fell are alpha brothers, born to Gabriel Fell, a cruel alpha like no other. Moved to the Americas at a young age where they lost their mother on the trail out West, both boys have suffered. Their father's fists and perchance for emotional and physical violence only adds to the scars until they are grown men of their own, still stuck under his iron fist.

    Everything changes when Gabriel brings home a redheaded omega with a bit of a spark still in him. This omega sets off a chain of events that cannot be stopped until the whole Fell household is turned upside down.

    Can the course of true mates set things right or will alpha and omega be doomed to fade, forever separated by evil and eternity?

    Summary

    Olivia Maybank was always up for another challenge.
    Another adventure.
    Another bad idea.
    She didn't expect the next one to be a Cameron.

    Olivia spent years holding her family together, taking care of her younger brother, working to keep food on the table, and cleaning up her father's messes. Every day felt a little more like surviving than living.

    The last person she expected to find comfort in was Rafe Cameron.
    Arrogant, reckless, and impossible to ignore, Rafe had always been a problem. But behind the anger and bad decisions was someone just as trapped as she was.

    What started as a mistake neither of them planned to repeat, quickly turned into something neither of them could walk away from.
    Because sometimes the people who understand you best are the ones who can hurt you most.
    And sometimes, dreaming of leaving is easier than staying.

    "If I left," she'd say, smirking-
    As if it was just another game.
    As if anyone ever asked what it meant to stay.

    Summary

    My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
    Tell me where did you sleep last night?
    In the pines, in the pines
    Where the sun don't ever shine
    I would shiver the whole night through

     

    When Lya Devine stood before the Sorting Hat, she stared at it as if she were settling an old score with the ragged old thing. That stare — piercing, brilliant, feral — had lived in her eyes since she was eleven years old, and Severus Snape never saw it die.

    Summary

    He was still processing the fact that he was… still here. Somehow.

    He still didn’t really know what had come over him. He just stepped through that door without even thinking…

    No. That wasn’t true, exactly.

    He heard what Pomni said after he threw her out. Every word. And for some reason… He didn’t know why. But in that moment, he just… wanted to try. But he hadn’t actually expected it to work-

     

    Or: A sequel to Today's Adventure: A Fun (And Not At All Traumatic) Walk Down Memory Lane.
     

    OR: Jax escaped the Memory Lane Disaster mostly in one piece, but certainly not unscathed. Now, he must contend with not only the painful aftermath of his near-abstraction and the confusing jumble of emotions that came with it, but also the consequences of EVERYTHING he's done and rediscovering who he even is...

    Maybe abstraction would have been a mercy...

    Summary

    If saving your life caused you more suffering than dying ever could, would you thank the man who did it, or would you kill him?

    Samantha is brilliant, driven, and running on empty. A visit to her old best friend was supposed to be a reset. Instead, one night tears her life apart and leaves her one breath from death.

    The man who saves her has his own methods, a cure much worse than the disease. Cleansed with light, stripped of everything, Sam loses herself layer by agonizing layer, and wakes up in the Bright Room as a mystery: to her captor, and to herself.

    The only thing she's sure she's not is a victim. But reclaiming her life means dealing with a captor whose ruthlessness is matched only by how broken he is; a debt to him she can't balance against the trauma he caused; and a thing waking inside her that may be more dangerous than the infection itself.

    What develops between them is Beauty and the Beast, followed to its natural conclusion: two beasts, containing each other.
