    Summary

    “Remind me to thank him next time I see him. Once that bill is passed into law, I’ll be the first in line to inquire for a divorce.”
    “What for?”
    “Don’t you recall? I’m married.”

    England, 1923

    Four years after the Great War ended, Harry Styles lives contentedly at the tender age of 26. He’s one of the first and only Omega shopkeepers to own and manage a business in London, and he is surrounded by devoted friends and clients who all seem to be in dramatic romantic quarrels or blissfully joyful engagements.
    Parliament is about to pass a law that makes the divorce process less daunting for Omegas like Harry. This news prompts him to reconsider his union with an Alpha he had married almost nine years ago, but had since lost all connection with.
    In desperate need to return to his husband’s good graces to undergo a divorce without vexation, their reconnection unravels the tension of their impassive union and uncovers the harrowing truth of why they lived so long in each other’s shadow and silence.

    Or the one where Harry and Louis are estranged husbands in a decade-long relationship and fall in love again too late into it.

    Summary

    Thomas Shelby had nearly secured the life he’d fought so ruthlessly to build—until the death of his wife, Grace, shatters everything. Left to raise their son alone, Tommy is forced to navigate a brewing war between the Peaky Blinders and Darby Sabini’s powerful gang. But when a mysterious woman named Edith saves his life, their undeniable connection stirs something in Tommy he thought he’d buried for good. As their paths intertwine, he begins to wonder whether happiness might still be within reach. Yet Edith carries secrets of her own—dangerous secrets with the power to alter the future of Birmingham and the fate of the Peaky Blinders themselves.

    Summary

    New Orleans, 1928. The Bayou Butcher has been active for years, but only recently has his case begun drawing real attention.
    When Evelyn Bennett takes a position as Alastor’s secretary at the local radio station, she quickly realizes he is not what he seems:
    She sees enough to know better and decides to look not too closely.

    As their connection deepens through music, work and conversation, curiosity becomes something far more dangerous.
    What forms between them is built on what is noticed and what is left unspoken.
    A slow-burn story about control, awareness and choice.
    Where love is not redemption and staying is a decision.

    Note: The chapters are still being edited for clarity and continuity.

    Summary

    “Well, now that we know each other’s names, I reckon we’re familiar. Right?”

    Angel’s looking at him, a shiny glint in his eye that he may blame on the wine.

    Husk smirks, a quiet scoff escaping into the air.
    “No. I’d like to be strangers with you forever.”

    “Strangers?” Angel quirks a brow.

    “Mhm.”

    “Guess I’ll hold you to that.”

     

    (in which two men from different backgrounds in the 1920s band together to hunt down a mysterious game . . . while growing fond of each other in the process.)

    Summary

    Part of the Bureau of Investigation, Y/N is assigned a new case that takes them to the turbulent South— specifically a city called New Orleans. Determined to succeed, they aim to uncover and catch the rising serial killer known as the Bayou Butcher. Thankfully, they encounter some help along the way.

    “Think of it this way, my dear– wouldn’t you rather have the assistance of a man who’s informed about this wonderful city?”

    They narrowed their eyes, but the radio host’s charming smile simply widened.

    “Civilians should not be involved in investigating criminal cases.”

    “Oh, but Agent…” Alastor paused, his gaze glinting faintly behind his round glasses. “I already am.”

    Summary

    "If I shall be saved, it will be because your love redeems me."

    If anyone ever told you that you'd go from a homeless wanderer to marrying a serial killer, you're pretty sure you'd ask them if they were smoking crack. But here you were, ring on your finger and a body count to go with it. Goddammit.

    Summary

    When Lana Gomez stepped inside of Alastor's radio station it was like the universe shifted, like something sublimely cosmic alligned.

    Alastor isn't a soft man until vanilla and honey fill his senses and a girl with a ribbon in her dark curls tucks herself close to his side whilst he walked her home that very first night.

    Alastor Altruist is not a violent man, not until his love's heart stops beating, and he is left with a legacy he is unsure how to raise with out the comforting touch of her hand, with out big brown eyes that crinkle when she smiles. He doesn't know how to be father, but he knows he can't disappoint his song bird.

    Michael loves her, he had her killed because nobody deserves his dove. A gilded cage is what she needs safely tucked inside heaven, with him. Under his wing. Alastor doesn't deserve her, and he'll make his pretty dove understand that.

    Summary

    In life, Alastor took a wife—not for love, but for convenience. Sweet, trusting Alice adored him despite the blood on his hands, convinced that beneath his wicked grin lay a man worth saving. But before she could prove it, death tore him from her, leaving only shattered dreams and unanswered prayers. Now, in the depths of Hell, Alice is no longer the hopeful girl who once loved a monster—Hell has burned that part of her away. She wants nothing to do with the husband who never truly wanted her. Yet when fate—or some cruel joke—pulls them both to Charlie’s Hazbin Hotel, Alastor finds himself facing something he never expected: regret. For the first time, he wonders if he had feelings for her after all. But Alice is not the same woman, and she no longer believes in redemption—especially not for him. If Alastor truly wants her back, he’ll have to do what he never did in life: prove he’s capable of love before it’s too late.

    Summary

    The Lackadaisy was in resurgence - clear as day for anyone who dared to care. This invited its own flavour of troubles and a slew of other revelations. Yet Atlas laid burried, his murderer still on the loose, and it was only a matter of time before the individual threads tangled together for a hellish dance. For Rocky, a stray newspaper article was all it took to alter his entire life's course, where he would be just a little less lonely - where he would be just a little less uncertain of who he truly was.

    "Well, look at what the dark visage flaunts. From afar, a tall, dashing shadow beckons. M'lord, would you honor me with this dance?"

    With gritted teeth, Mordecai accepted the hand. "It would be my pleasure."

    Courtesy of the wayward Mr. Hartland.

    Summary

    A gleaming transatlantic voyage promises elegance, innovation, and escape, but beneath its polished surfaces, unease quietly takes hold. As guests indulge in music, spectacle, and carefully curated luxury, subtle tensions ripple through the crowd, hinting at hidden motives and unspoken histories. The journey becomes more than a passage across the ocean; it transforms into a layered exploration of ambition, deception, and the fragile illusions people construct to define themselves. What begins as a celebration of progress and refinement gradually unfolds into a gripping narrative of intrigue, where every glance and every silence carries weight. The voyage becomes a crucible, testing perception, trust, and identity, all while moving steadily toward an uncertain destination. In this confined world of glittering facades, the true journey lies not across the ocean, but within the hidden depths of those on board.

    Summary

    Charlie Magne crawls out of a bayou with too many teeth and no memory of how she got there.

    A stranger finds her first.

    He shoots her twice.

    She follows him home anyway.
    She doesn’t know why.

    Doctor Alastor Arceneaux runs a quiet clinic in Saint Marais, where bodies are repaired, survival is negotiable, and some things should have stayed dead.

    Charlie survives.

    That turns out to be the problem.

    ———-

    He squeezes her cheeks once more—light, almost affectionate—and murmurs, soft as poison,

    “Tsk. Such poor manners.”

    Then he leans in.

    Close enough that the heat of his breath ghosts the shell of her ear. Close enough that his voice slips under her skin instead of through it.

    “Oh, darling,” he murmurs—intimate, honeyed, wrong—“you followed me home.”
