Cain's coven thinks he died when he was starved, defanged, and exiled, but little do they know he has a thirst for vengeance- even if that requires teaming up with a hotheaded monster hunter to help him do it. As long as she doesn't find out his true nature, he should be fine. Right? When River gets a tip about a vampire coven operating in Manhattan, she's determined to set her hunter's Guild on the trail. But when she's met with doubt, her only option is to team up with the sketchy Brooklyn boy who put her on the scent. [a vampire x hunter action romance] Content warning: Graphic depictions of violence, sexuality, and recollections of emotional abuse. A muddy antihero with a messy past, including referenced sexual abuse and assault. And blood. Lots of blood. [Book 1, Monsters of New York]

Alex has a crap record with relationships. When her friends nominate her for a dating show, she's got nothing to lose, right? So what if her particular brand of weird is exactly the sort of thing that makes for good TV? She's just going to be herself - her maybe too physical and highly outspoken and shockingly honest self. Jonas didn't try to get into reality TV, and he's only in it for the paycheck. If girls want to subject themselves to the humiliation of being filmed 24 hours a day in their search for love, it's not his business to stop them, just point the camera. But Alex is different. He doesn't get why she's here, he doesn't get why she's talking to him, and he really doesn't like that his ex-boyfriend has jokingly granted him "protector rights" over a girl who's just an ex of an old enemy. She deserves a hell of a lot better than she's getting, and Jonas doesn't appreciate catching morals. Or feelings. - A bi4bi m/f reality tv romance with a twist! Started as fic of a fic, but bears little to no resemblance to canon aside from names. So have fun if you knew the original thing, or just enjoy the original setting and new characters!
