How do you know when love stops feeling safe? Lanai came to Atlanta carrying more pain than luggage, determined to never again let a man have the power to break her. She wanted peace. Softness. A life untouched by the version of herself she left behind in New York. Then she met Phoenix. A man made of control, silence, money, and secrets. A man whose love felt warm enough to heal her... until it slowly began to consume her. Because sometimes the people who love you the hardest are also the ones capable of hurting you the deepest. And when grief, obsession, and attachment begin blurring together... how do you tell the difference between being loved and being possessed? ✧🩷

| HAPPY LOWMAN x FEM!OC | Laney Teller could've anything she wanted. Fame, being an Old Lady, or the chance to follow in her mother's footsteps. Cara Cara was already hers, inherited from her godmother after she'd died a tragic death. She had none other than the Tacoma Killer wrapped around her little finger, even if he would never admit it. That man was neck-deep in it, unable to help but keep his eyes on her at all times. They had a casual arrangement, both too stubborn to admit that they'd fallen in love. And when Laney became pregnant, they both decided on adoption. It was for the best, right? But things didn't go as planned; their son ended up in the NICU, and, as if that weren't enough, Zobelle and Weston were gunning for war with the Sons, much to the detriment of Laney, who had to suffer the most besides Gemma. To place the cherry on top, Charming got a new Sheriff; an old schoolmate of Jax to be exact. And to put it mildly, they couldn't stand each other. As all this chaos unfolded around Laney and Happy, they needed to see whether these events would finally bind them together or drive them further apart. • STARTS AT SEASON 2 / I'm not writing episode for episode, I'm just adding some of the storyline to my own ideas.

Harlem doesn't forgive debts - it collects. Xyla never asked to be part of her father's street mistakes, but when his debt comes due, she becomes the payment. Snatched from her normal life and dropped into a world ruled by corners, codes, and consequences, Xyla finds herself under the control of Onyx - better known in Harlem as East. East runs his block with silence and fear. He's respected, dangerous, and untouchable. Loyalty is his currency, violence is his language, and weakness gets you buried. Keeping Xyla was supposed to be business - nothing more than leverage. But Xyla isn't weak, and she refuses to bow to the streets that claim her. As Harlem closes in and enemies start circling, tension turns into temptation and hate turns into something neither of them planned. East is torn between the rules that made him and the woman who's breaking every one of them. Xyla must decide if survival means escaping him... or standing beside him. In a city where love is a liability and trust gets you killed, one thing is certain - some debts don't get paid in cash. They get paid in blood, loyalty... and desire.

Now, after coming home to care for her ailing father, Cori runs into Jax again. This time, he notices her, really notices, but can he convince her that he's changed? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I own nothing to do with the Sons Of Anarchy storyline or original characters.

| Jax Teller x OC - COMPLETED | Fast cars, drugs of any kind, a criminal life - all of this can give anyone the adrenaline rush they're craving; but not many can lead that kind of life and not break. Cleo Hernandez was the typical random girl from the neighborhood, always polite and a sweet smile on her face when she was working at her mother's diner. But once it got dark and the sun was down, she turned into a whole different girl. Illegal street races gave her the adrenaline rush she needed besides swallowing every kind of pills; plus, she earned a lot of money, which her and her mother desperately needed to pay all the bills for the diner and their little house since they didn't want to accept her brother's money. But the number one reason for getting any kind of adrenaline rush every night, was the wish to feel something, anything. Somehow, Cleo never inherited her mother's good moods and positive thinking. Her life was dark and depressing until no other than Jax Teller showed up at her mother's diner. I don't own any of the SOA characters or the original storyline. I do own the ideas for my OC's and storyline.

Jackson. I saw the emotion in their eyes when they spoke of him. I was only five, but I was far from unnoticing, and it just made me all the more curious. I would spend the next 13 years putting together the pieces of the puzzle; a puzzle my "parents" never wanted me to solve. And it led me here: To this hard bed, in a cheap motel with annoying as shit Christmas lights flickering through the holes in the curtains. Twenty three dollars in my pocket, my bike on E and 40 miles to go. I know who you are now and what you did. I love you, Dad. And I'm coming home. ((Slow updates))
