She uncovers evidence with quiet violence. He solves crimes with a peaceful conversation. She doesn't speak. He doesn't stop. The dead, unfortunately, have opinions about both. Galen Rose calls himself psychic. Shannara Chase calls him insufferable. When a confirmed extraterrestrial sighting leaves a man suspended between life and death, the government scrambles to erase its tracks. Armed with nothing but an antique notepad and a lethal amount of audacity, they do the one thing they were explicitly told not to. They start asking questions. She communicates in scrawls, sign language, and structural violence. He communicates in devastating wordplay, clinical deduction, and a smile that has talked its way out of three countries and into considerably more trouble. They are not a love story. They are a hate story. Best friends who almost hate each other. Enemies who would burn the world down for each other. Trapped in a high-stakes whodunit masked by lies, ancient secrets, and a mystery that doesn't want to be found, they must survive a partnership held together by endless bickering and a slow-burning tension neither can afford to name. The closer they get to the truth, the closer they get to each other. Neither is ready for either. Together they're either going to crack this impossible case or completely destroy each other. (Probably both.) ⚠️ Side effects include: UFO obsession, mutual animosity, conspiracy-induced insomnia, slow burn that will ruin you, enemies-to-lovers tension, and an unhealthy attachment to one devastatingly dangerous mentalist golden boy. Ranked #1 in UFOs and #2 Procedural, #12 in Crime fiction, 3 days into the launch!

"I bet you would be delicious."  Is this flirting, or is he actually thinking about eating me?  The server brings over our order. Evander devours his food. It is concerning and impressive how fast he wolfed it down, pun intended, I guess. "You know I've always been team Edward."  My attempt at changing the subject from me being food.  "The undead blood-sucking demon?"  "I assume you don't approve."  My mocking tone gets under his skin, and I enjoy this more than I should.  "Yes, why not? He gets to live forever, never gets cold, is super fast, and reads minds."  "Mmf, not to quote Jacob, but I am alive. I have heat, primal instincts, and I prefer to live fully rather than live forever."  Primal instincts- I wonder what all of that could entail. Why do I find that more attractive than scary?  "The heat could help," I admit as I pull the jacket closer to my body. He smirks, but there's a flicker of something darker in his eyes.  "So you'd rather cuddle with a corpse than burn with a beast?" That's an oddly intriguing thought, I'll admit. I raise an eyebrow. "Depends on the beast, I guess." He leans in slightly, elbows on the table, voice low. "Careful, Aylin. You're flirting with fire." I take a slow sip of my iced coffee, letting the cold contrast with the heat rising in my chest. "Maybe I'll like the burn."

"Are you planning to sweep me out of the building, or can I finish my drawing?" When a relentless April rainstorm catches Cleo off guard, she sprints into the city library looking for a dry place to change out of her drenched clothes. But a quick nap in her favorite fiction aisle turns into a nightmare when she wakes up to pitch-black darkness, a missing receptionist, and heavy deadbolts locking the front doors from the outside. Terrified by a strange tapping sound echoing through the dark building, Cleo arms herself with a broken broomstick handle-only to stumble upon Silas. Safe in the shadows of the history section, Silas is completely unfazed by being trapped. He's armed only with a mini flashlight, an open sketchbook, and a sarcastic attitude. With zero phone service and twelve long hours until the morning shift arrives, two total opposites are forced to share the quiet corners of the empty library. As secrets are shared in the dark and the lines between them begin to blur, they realize that being trapped together might not be an accident after all. A cozy, slow-burn, forced-proximity story about art, poetry, and the things we only confess when the lights go out. ⚠️ CONTENT WARNING: This story contains mature themes, psychological trauma, depictions of severe childhood trauma/abuse, and visceral, macabre artistic imagery. Reader discretion is advised.

"I was trapped under the surface, fighting to swim up...up...up. But some force, far stronger than me, was holding me down. My lungs were burning. My head was pounding. Darkness covered my eyes. I started screaming underwater, my last gulps of oxygen leaving my body, just like my hope of survival. And then, an explosion of white light hit me. I thought I was dying. Isn't this the logic turn of events? But I didn't die that night. I became something far worse than oblivion. Something that could outrun death for eternity". @All rights reserved. UNEDITED.
