Their friendship became all-consuming for Rory, not only because he loved her, but also because she understood him like no one else ever could.

The reasons pile up, and Rory feels it's down to him to piece it all together. Rory's friendship with Max Bellamy grows and blossoms into something more, and he finds an ally in Lilia Engel. Yet nothing seems to match his love for Chance. He ends up torn between finding himself and the truth about that night. With the help of Max and Lilia, can he figure it all out? Or is he left to struggle in the darkness without Chance? ꧁FOR FANS OF: Looking for Alaska, 13 Reasons Why, and All the Bright Places꧂ ☆ 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 @𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 ☆ Contains some mature content (warning in author's note) Status: [[Complete -- Edited]] Written from: Jan -> Sept 2022 Word count: [[72,500]]

What could possibly go wrong? ***** She is Ember. A closed-off and secluded girl with far too many secrets - one being that she's a supernatural mythical mix of a Phoenix that she is desperately trying to control. As her abilities develop, it feels like she's running out of time to control the Phoenix before the fire breaks loose and hurts someone she loves. He is Theo. Equally secretive yet far better at hiding it, this cocky American showed up from nowhere and now seems to be everywhere. The fact he's a werewolf just complicates things further. Hunters are chasing Theo from America to the UK, under the alleged claim that he brutally murdered his pack - a bloody yet unlikely accusation. As much as Ember wants to help Theo, she's fighting her own battles, and the two have to figure out their on-and-off relationship first. In this deceitful world of supernatural and normal humans, outsiders threaten Ember, Theo and their friends - both old and new. Can this group of supernatural teens be brought together by their desperation? Or will they forever be in conflict? Both Ember and Theo are playing a dangerous game with fire, and it's impossible to know who might get burned.

In the midst of their revelry, a mysterious figure disguised as a Red Death victim enters and makes his way through each of the rooms. Prospero dies after confronting this stranger, whose "costume" proves to contain nothing tangible inside it; the guests also die in turn. Cover by the lovely @CaffeinatedKiwi
