Both of them were running from the ghosts of their past. Both of them haunted by a childhood filled with blood, violence and death. One became the most prolific serial killer the BAU has ever encountered while the other became the very person that hunts them. What if everything was meant to lead them to each other?

My name is Emily, and though I don't share their name, the Bridgertons are the closest thing I have to a real family. I've grown up alongside them - at their dinners, their dances, their summer retreats - so often that Lady Violet jokes she might as well adopt me. Each Bridgerton sibling holds a different part of my heart. Anthony treats me like a younger sister, always protective, always watching. Benedict sees the artist in me and encourages it, even when I doubt myself. Colin can make me laugh even on the worst days. Daphne shares her strength with quiet grace, and Eloise? She's a force of nature, and somehow, she understands when I need space and when I need someone to pull me out of it. Francesca's calm brings me peace, and Hyacinth? She brings the chaos - but the good kind. But Gregory... Gregory is different. He's my very best friend - my anchor. We're inseparable, always have been. Where he goes, I follow, and where I fall, he catches me. He's the only one who knows the truth behind my quiet smiles and quick excuses. Only Gregory knows what my life is like behind closed doors - how cruel and controlling my father truly is. I never had to tell him; he just knew. And he's never left my side since. With the Bridgertons, I've found laughter, warmth, and belonging. But with Gregory, I've found safety. And when your world at home is built on fear, that kind of love - the quiet, steady kind - is everything.

A novel inspired by The Outsiders Tulsa, 1965. She wasn't a Greaser. She wasn't a Soc. She was something quieter, sadder, stronger - a girl who showed up when things fell apart and stayed long after they should've scattered. To Ponyboy, she was a mystery wrapped in poetry and cigarette smoke. To Sodapop, she was laughter in the kitchen at 2 a.m. To Johnny, she was kindness - the first he'd ever known. But to Dally, she was danger. Something soft he could never keep. And to Darry, she was the one thing he couldn't protect - no matter how hard he tried. They both loved her in their own ways. She loved them both back. But only one could have her. And when the bullets fall, and the fire dies out, and the silence grows loud - she'll still be there. The girl with scraped knees and a heart full of gold. The Earth Angel they never forgot.

You and Benedict have been best friends since childhood, but things change dramatically once you come out in society. You're struggling to find someone you're as compatible with and who knows you as well as Benedict, all while trying to quell your ever-growing feelings for him. Shenanigans ensue.

What if the Curtis brothers had a little sister? Real original I know but hear me out. Candy Curtis is going to be the first woman in space, if she can stop daydreaming about it first. Full of family drama, fun, and more than a little bit of heart ache. Takes place about a month before the events of the book/movie/musical whatever strikes your fancy. Disclaimer: I do my best to be historically and canonically accurate, but sometimes I mess up!
