    Summary

    El runs and she keeps running until she's about as far away from home as she figures she can get. And as the years go by, she manages to carve out a peaceful sort of existence. It's not a happy life, but she's content with the knowledge that the loved ones she left behind are safe and happy.

    But while Mike's safe, he's not happy, not by a long shot. He's living a half-life, living under the shadow of the love he lost... of the love he knows is still out there, somewhere, waiting for him to find her.

    And when Mike finally has enough of surviving without living and embarks on an aimless journey to find her, El knows her days of isolation are behind her. Because the longer Mike tries to search for her, the more attention he brings to himself and the more likely he'll put himself in danger. So she leaves a trail of breadcrumbs to guide him to her, as always willing to do anything to keep him safe.

    And when they reunite in the sleepy village El has learned to call home, they'll learn if they can move past the shadow of the history they share... and if they can rediscover the love that once shone brighter than the sun.

    Summary

    Theirs is a tale written in fragments: in touches that never lingered long enough, in words left unsaid, in moments missed not by accident, but by design. Their love story was always written in the margins—glimpsed in stolen glances, held together by silence and circumstance, by longing restrained rather than shared. It was forged in the fire of war and betrayal, in the quiet space between who they were and who they had to become. And now, as the world shifts beneath their feet and the past refuses to stay buried, fates become entwined once more, both Violet and Xaden find themselves haunted not just by the memory of what they had, but by the hollow absence of what they never dared to reach for.

    Because how can a love like theirs ever end… when it never had the chance to truly begin?

    (A Post Onyx Storm Fic).

    Summary

    “You wouldn’t be trusting me,” he said, lips curling faintly. “You’d be controlling me. Owning me. Don’t tell me that’s not appealing to you. We’re both beyond petty denials.”

    She studied him—every inch of the strained muscles, the fevered eyes, the chains dug into brick. He was desperate, despite all the bravado. That much was obvious. She could smell the tang of his fear hanging in the air like pheromones. He truly was at his last grasp of sanity; a Hyde without a master was only madness driven inwards, layers upon layers of insanity folding in upon itself like a slow-acting implosion. He had no chance at ever being normal, but that didn’t mean she had to leash the beast instead of slay it.

    “Say it,” Wednesday declared.

    Tyler’s head tilted. “Why?”

    “Because I want to hear if you mean it.”

    The corner of his mouth twitched. “You want obedience, or proof?”

    “Both.”
