    Summary

    Margot Shaw has one rule: don't fuck the married gym teacher, no matter how good the idea sounds at two in the morning when her husband's in the guest room and she's wondering where it all went wrong.

    Negan makes it hard to keep that rule. He's got the grin, the shoulders, and the kind of confidence that says he's already decided how this story ends. He's married. She's married. Both marriages are dying in different ways. The line holds anyway.

    Until cancer changes everything. Until the outbreak separates them. Until months pass with no way of knowing who survived. Until Lucille dies and Negan becomes something his wife never had to witness.

    When their paths cross again, the man she wanted and the man who survived aren't the same person. And every rule that kept them apart burned down with the rest of the world.

    (Pre-outbreak temptation. Tragic devotion. And something darker when the dead walk and the past catches up.)

    Summary

Torn apart by insecurities and devastated by the fact that you can't make this one sided affection work, you decide to find something to keep you going until Gojo finds a way to end the marriage.

    Summary

    Street-rat.

    That's what you've always known yourself as.

    A girl who hides her paranormal 'gift' and uses it to settle her mother's debt to the yakuza, a debt that was never hers to begin with. A girl who survives the underworld and all of those freaks crawling around atop it.

    Curse-user.

    That's what Yaga and his merry band of pricks (Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru) call you. You've got no fucking clue what it means.

    Enrol alongside those sheltered morons as a student, or die. That's what they offer you.

    And whenever given the choice, you've never been stupid enough to choose death.

    Summary

    When you're invited back to the Zenin estate for a night of divination, the air between you and Naoya turns electric. He wants you. You know it. And you enjoy every second of the power he hates giving you.

    “You stop like that in the hallway again,” he murmured, voice dipping to something sinful right beside your ear, “and I’ll assume you’re inviting me to run into you.”

    Naoya Zenin is cold, arrogant, and used to getting what he wants. When he sets his sights on you, he doesn’t ask—he claims.

    Summary

    You have a simple mission: Infiltrate the most dangerous sorcerer clan, do a little light espionage, maybe an assassination or two, and then get the hell out. Easy, right?

    Your cover is perfect: you’re just a humble servant girl, so unassuming that birds literally eat out of your hand. No one will ever notice you.

    Except he does.

    Now instead of mapping secret passages, your duties involve washing his hair, applying his eyeliner, and enduring his terrible personality.

    Zen’in Naoya has a thing for breaking pretty little birds, and he’s just decided you’d look lovely in his cage. Your new mission is to keep this narcissistic sociopath happy while not getting murdered or forgetting why you’re there in the first place.

    Good luck. You’re probably going to need it. (And maybe some conditioner that doubles as a poison.)
