Joy has spent the last ten years running. From cold towns and worse apartments. From men who raised their voices too quickly. From motel rooms with broken locks and memories that still wake her up at three in the morning. By twenty-seven, she's learned how to survive quietly: keep moving, keep smiling, never stay long enough to belong anywhere. Oceanside, California was never supposed to be permanent. Neither was The Drop. After walking into the bar looking for work, Joy unexpectedly finds herself pulled into the orbit of the Cody family - a dangerous, volatile crime family held together by loyalty, violence, and Smurf Cody's suffocating control. Deran gives her a chance behind the bar, and what starts as an easy friendship slowly turns into something far more complicated as Joy becomes entangled in the family's lives. Especially Pope's. Quiet, observant, and deeply unsettling, Pope sees too much too quickly - the scars hidden beneath Joy's tattoos, the exhaustion she disguises with humour, the careful way she keeps one foot permanently out the door. As the lines between survival and belonging begin to blur, Joy finds herself becoming attached to the worst possible people she could ever learn to love. But nobody enters the Cody family untouched. And nobody leaves unchanged. A slow-burn fanfiction. This book will include heavy descriptions of drug use and addiction, self-harm scars/references, childhood abuse, domestic violence, emotional manipulation, mental illness, violence, trauma, sexual themes, and mature language. The feedback you guys gave me after i wrote my Jack Abbot books was AMAZING, thank you so much! I don't feel terrified sharing things i've written now, this will be VERY different to the other two books and a lot darker but i hope you enjoy it as much!

𝗧𝗪𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 𝗦𝗔𝗚𝗔 | For a thousand years, Galen Volturi has been a solitary figure, a vampire who has grown accustomed to the freedom and respect that comes with his immense power and longevity. He has roamed the earth for centuries, traversing vast distances and collecting new vampires to join his ever-expanding coven, reveling in the autonomy of his existence. Galen has grown to cherish this independence, relishing the ability to go where he pleases and do as he wishes without the burden of emotional attachments or the constraints of mortal relationships. He has become a legend among his kind, a figure of awe and deference, his mere presence commanding the reverence of those around him. Yet, despite this rarefied existence, a subtle shift begins to occur when Galen unexpectedly encounters a young, unassuming human woman - a brunette beauty whose shy demeanor and vulnerability strike a chord deep within the ancient vampire's hardened heart. In this chance meeting, Galen finds himself confronted with the realization that this fragile, mortal girl is in fact his destined mate, a revelation that upends the very foundations of the solitary life he has cultivated over the centuries. Suddenly, the freedom he once prized so dearly begins to feel like a hollow and isolating existence, as the pull of this unexpected connection challenges Galen to confront the possibility of forging a bond that could forever alter the trajectory of his immortal existence.

In the chaos of The Pitt, falling for Dr. Jack Abbott is never simple. Whether it's late-night shifts, quiet moments between patients, jealousy, comfort, or the kind of love that sneaks up on you, every story is different-but somehow, it always leads back to him. A collection of reader-insert one-shots full of slow burns, soft moments, angst, and all the complicated ways of loving Dr. Abbott.

Dr. Eleanor "Nell" Carver is one of the senior residents in Pittsburgh's busiest ER . Relentlessly capable, and far better at saving other people than taking care of herself. Between endless night shifts, traumatic cases, and the quiet exhaustion of her own treatment, Nell is trying to hold together a life that never seems to slow down long enough for her to breathe. The one constant in the chaos is Dr. Jack Abbot - the attending physician who knows exactly when to push, when to stay quiet, and when to simply stand beside her. Their relationship is steady, private in all the ways that matter, and built in the spaces between ambulance sirens. But while Nell spends her shifts fighting for strangers, the people closest to her are struggling too. Her younger sister, Lois - the hospital's head chef - is trying to keep everyone fed while pretending she doesn't need looking after herself. And Nell's best friend Frank Langdon, freshly separated and emotionally unravelling beneath it all, finds himself unexpectedly drawn toward Lois in the middle of the hospital chaos.

❝ Get on your knees, Red. ❞ Forks, Washington is the kind of place where nothing is supposed to happen. Which is probably why Brooklyn sticks out so much. Bella Swan's cousin-sharp-tongued, sarcastic, always a little too honest for her own good. The kind of person people in Forks are used to seeing but never really figuring out. She's known, she's noticed, she's just... never fully understood. Especially not by the Cullens. Until Bella comes back to town and everything starts to tilt. Because Brooklyn has opinions. Loud ones. Especially about Edward Cullen, who she decides she doesn't like from the very first second-and somehow makes that everyone's problem. Then there's Jasper Hale. He notices her the second she walks into the room. Something about the way she moves, the way she laughs, the way she looks like trouble waiting to happen, it pulls at him. She notices him too. And in three hours, it's not just a look, not just a conversation. She sleeps with him. Because when Brooklyn wants something, she doesn't ask for permission. And Jasper, who's spent decades learning to control everything, suddenly can't control a single thing.
