Maisie never expected her quiet life as a schoolteacher to collide with Tucker's - a gruff firefighter carrying more scars than he lets show. But when a call for help brings them together, everything begins to change. On Tucker's peaceful farm, with wide skies and creaking porch swings, Maisie finds a kind of stillness she didn't know she needed. And Tucker, long used to solitude and silence, discovers what it means to be truly seen. Slowly, gently, they begin to untangle the pain in each other's pasts, drawn closer by shared glances, soft laughter, and the growing comfort of something like home. As love roots itself between them, unexpected turns reshape their world - bringing both challenge and grace in equal measure. Together, they learn that family can be something you build with your hands and heart. A moving, quiet love story about healing, trust, and the kind of life you choose - one moment, one morning, one person at a time.

AONE X READER || A short story COMPLETED ! - being rewritten VERY SLOWLY *** The train was packed, filled with people going to work, school and other boring places. The only seat open was beside a large white haired man. His figure was built and packed with muscle, and a deep frown seemed to be branded on his face as he stared down at the the floor. He looked horrifying. (L/n) knew better than to judge people based on their looks but... come on! Couldn't he at least just smile? She huffed out a puff of air and gently sat beside him, careful to leave space between the two of them. "I'm (L/n)." She held out her hand for him to shake. She had decided she would test if he was actually as mean as he looked. He turned to her, his frown still prominent but less threatening than she anticipated. The man took her hand in to his own, a bit roughly, but she could tell he was trying to be gentle. "Aone." He introduced.

Estratto: Ci guardammo a lungo negli occhi e ad un certo punto, lui scosse la testa e mi bació lievemente sulle labbra, lasciandomi per un attimo incredula. «Oddio, scusami. Non so cosa mi sia preso» mi disse staccandosi subito. Non ci pensai due volte e stavolta fui io a fiondarmi sulle sue labbra, che erano così morbide da creare dipendenza.

With a chip on her shoulder, Breanna ensured that everyone is kept at arms distance. She's been able to stand her ground and hold her own against everyone she's encountered.

A type of change they never imagined.

He cries out as he tries to fall back down on the couch. I pinch his arm and drag him back up. "Nope you're going to dance and your going to like it. Come on." I gesture him to follow me. I go to turn the volume up before going back to him. "Fine but you gotta give me kisses first." He answered with a smile on his pink lips. I roll my eyes but nevertheless lean up and peck his lips.
