Hidden behind locked doors and iron rules, Henry Creel has spent his life inside Hawkins Lab - not by choice, but by design. Once the first child molded by Dr. Brenner's experiments, he grew into a silent protector for the generations of gifted children who came after him, bearing the weight of a life he never chose. He thought he understood the world: pain, obedience, isolation. Until Marlena Brenner, the daughter of the man who made him, returned to the lab - and changed everything. Where others saw a weapon, Marlena saw a man. She offered him kindness with no demands, love with no conditions. Slowly, Henry began to believe he could be something more than what the lab made him. Their stolen kisses, lingering touches, and tentative confessions grew into something fierce and real. But freedom always has a price. When a tragedy rips through the lab, taking Marlena's father and nearly Marlena herself, Henry is faced with the unimaginable terror of losing the only light in his dark world. As Marlena fights her way back from the brink, she refuses to rebuild what was broken. Instead, she dreams bigger: creating a place where gifted children can live without fear - a real home, filled with laughter, learning, and choice. A future Henry never dared to imagine. Now, surrounded by the children they vow to protect, Henry and Marlena must navigate first love, aching grief, and a healing neither of them thought possible. Together, they will build not just a sanctuary - but a family. A story of survival, redemption, and an extraordinary love born in the most unlikely of places, Brenners daughter is a heart-wrenching, breathtaking journey toward freedom, hope, and the simple, saving power of being seen.

It's the late 70s and Dr. Brenner decides to let his daughter, Amber Brenner, work at the lab. That's when she met Peter. But what happens after...? (Henry Creel x female!OC)

Disclaimer ( Henry will be younger for the sake of this story) I never thought I would be back in Indiana let alone Hawkins, but I can't ignore the feeling that has been calling me back here. It's been getting stronger as the years went by, and if It's one thing I'm sure of, it is that I have to face him now. With each mile back home I feel him, his anger, his hate, his devotion to darkness. Henry was always troubled but he trusted me, and I betrayed him. Sooner or later I would be met with the consequences of my actions, now being the later. (Henry Creel X Fem!OC) #Henry Creel, #Peter Ballard, #001, #Mr. Whats-it

And for the Lombardis and the Morettis, it was the most calculated, showstopping alliance of the century. Roman Moretti, Don of the La Cosa Nostra, and Angeline Lombardi, only daughter of the French-Italian Mafia Capo, had been betrothed since her birth --matched to unite two empires under one crown. Hidden from the world, Angeline was raised to be the perfect wife. Groomed. Silenced. Controlled. She learned early that one misstep would strip her of everything-including her name. Everyone's first mistake? They underestimated her. Though no one had ever seen her, the world assumed the Lombardi Princess was a polished doll. Quiet. Disposable. Roman saw the marriage as a formality-another calculated step toward total dominance. He had no plans to love her. No plans to live with her. Just a wife on paper, tucked away from him elsewhere, summoned when needed for appearances. But everything changed the moment he saw her walking down the aisle. She was perfection. Untouchable. She would be his ruin, his weakness, his obsession, his motivation. His everything. But what if that had been her plan all along? Not everything buried stays dead. Not every identity is what it seems. In a world where saints become monsters and monsters are worshipped like gods, Angeline must decide what's worth saving: her bloodline, her love, or herself. ~ -HEA -18+ -Romance/mystery/thriller -No Cheating/OWD -DARK ROMANCE "OMYGOSH. This book was immaculate. I could NOT put it down at all. Every chapter was AMAZING, the writing is shakespears work and each chapter made me laugh, smile, cry so much and this whole thing was a rollercoaster of emotions." -@Sunfloweraate8

And in that moment, I realized something that I've always known deep down in my heart. I finally understand why my eyes would always cling to him in a room, why my mood would always lighten up whenever he was around, why my world brightened up when I met him- why the sun shined brighter, trees and grass were greener, flowers smelled better. Why he makes my world more beautiful simply by existing in it. It's because I'm in love him. The type of love that you never knew existed until you finally experience it yourself, the type of love that's hard to put into words because it's a love you've never had for anyone else. And never will. - JAMISON MACK ... And in which, Jamison Mack drunkly kisses his very much in love bestfriend, Hayden Zhang. Shouldn't be much of a problem, they both agree to forget about it. It was a drunken mistake. Nothing more, nothing less. One problem, neither of them can stop thinking about it. What could go wrong? Or in simpler words, a chaotic bisexual pro basketball player who's in love with his playboy footballer bestfriend. highest rankings #1 - interracialbxb #1 - maybesmut #2- collegefootball #2- interracialbxb #3- lgbtq #3- interracialbxb #13- interracialbxb

"Beautiful things don't ask for attention." In a world that thrives on conformity, August is an anomaly. Raised in a secretive overbearing family, she was chosen to leave its hidden grounds-not for freedom, but for duty. Sent to college to become the strategic mind for her generation behind the family's growing empire, she tries to move through the world like a ghost, draped in gothic shadows with secrets too heavy to share but her style is just too much to go unnoticed by judging eyes unscathed. Then she meets Kason through his older brother. A rising rapper with a reckless charm and a hunger for something real, dealing with battles of his own, he's instantly drawn to August's eerie demeanor and the quiet storm that lingers behind her dark mysterious eyes. She's nothing like the women he's used to-unbothered by trends, and untouched by the need for validation. The more she resists, the deeper he falls, his infatuation turning into an obsession he can't shake. One he cant let go of. As their worlds collide, the slow burn of their connection threatens to ignite everything August has been taught to suppress. With her past closing in and expectations pressing down, she must decide if she's willing to defy everything she's ever known for the chance at something dangerously real. In a society that demands she fit a mold, August stands in defiance. Unfortunately, love has a way of making even the strongest question their silence.
