*****A gothic Wednesday AU***** Reichenbach Academy has always thrived on silence. Pressed uniforms. Polished stone. Perfect control. And something ancient buried far beneath its halls. When a student collapses mid-class with glowing sigils carved into his skin, the administration insists the situation is contained. The students don't believe them. Thorn Rosales, a half-vampire psychic known for trouble, hears the disturbance before anyone names it. A song threading through the academy's bones. Xavier Thorpe, haunted by the Hyde and his past at Nevermore, begins drawing the same symbols appearing across campus, as if something is guiding his hand. Together, they uncover a truth Reichenbach has spent centuries burying. This is a slow-burn, lore-heavy gothic mystery about power, memory, and forbidden connection. Where silence is a weapon, and the walls are starting to sing.

He never respected her enough to call her an equal. She never respected herself enough to demand it. They both had to break to become whole. "Don't leave anything behind," he murmured as Mira was getting herself dressed. Mira Ellison knows the rules. She wakes before the city does, answers his calls before he finishes speaking, and shows up in the dress he'll peel off hours later. Because that's who she is to him - the girl who runs his world by day and surrenders to him at night. He's never said he loves her. He's never said her name in a room full of people. But he's the boy who once sat beside her in silence after her mother's funeral. And now he's the man who says stay with his hands, but never with his heart. Everyone thinks Mira is just his assistant. No one knows she's his weakness. And maybe... his undoing. The Things We Owe is a slow-burn, high-angst, emotionally filthy romance about obsession, class, and the girl who stopped waiting to be chosen - and made herself unforgettable instead.
