    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.”

    Summary

    “Your uncle couldn’t have lived a little closer to Vermont?” Tyler asks, glancing away from the road to briefly look down at her map.

    “I thought you wanted to get away from Vermont?” Wednesday mutters, searching for her quill and ink to circle their destination.

    “Yeah. But not like -“ Tyler cuts himself off. “Never mind. You’re right."

    -

    Tyler and Wednesday leave Jericho, on a road trip west. Wherever they go, people end up dead. Wednesday isn't quite sure who's to blame

    Summary

    Her mother warned her long ago, in her silken, smug voice. She said Frump women always surrender to love, though they prefer to call it doom. Wednesday swore she would not. That she would carve out her life with scalpel precision, free of attachment, immune to the idiocy that reduced others to trembling fools.

     

    And yet here she is. Trembling. A fool.

    Summary

    Xavier calls her babe. Her parents call it young love. Wednesday calls it a hostage situation.

    She’s been locked into a long-distance non-romance with Xavier Thorpe since childhood—thanks to one emotionally traumatic wake, two overbearing families, and zero escape plans.

    But then she meets Tyler Galpin: barista, bastard, and low-key outcast with a busted espresso machine and no interest in pretending she's someone softer.

    In this AU, the sheriff’s not an outcast-hating zealot, Thornhill never groomed Tyler, and Wednesday isn’t at war with her mother—just the universe.

    When a broken espresso machine, a carnival brawl, and an accidental emotional connection collide, Wednesday finds herself in dangerous territory:
    Someone sees her.
    Worse—he might understand her.

    “Tell me—do you even flinch when he touches you, or are you that good at pretending now?”
    “You’re confusing repression with performance.”
    “No, I’m confusing you with someone who gives a damn. And maybe I shouldn’t.”
    “Then don’t.”
    “Fine. I won’t. But answer me this: when it’s him you’re with, why do your eyes always find me?”
