Eighteen year old Harley Willem has spent his entire life in the middle of no where. His father and Harley live on a remote farm for one reason to stay safe from the Man Eaters. They are the monsters, 30ft giants with yellow eyes, ears, a tail and a taste for human flesh. Bored and stifled by the summer heat, Harley wanders into the woods and comes face to face with his father's worst nightmare. But Ash isn't like the stories. Though he stands 20ft tall, he is starving, wounded, and terrified. A runt. As a dangerous bond forms between the lonely boy and the gentle giant, Harley finds himself stealing food, lying to his father, and falling for a creature that could crush him with one hand. But with his father growing suspicious and a rifle in the hall closet, Harley is walking a razor's edge. In a world where they are natural enemies, survival might be easy, but trust could get them both killed.

When Summer's mum abandons her outside of Tej Parker and Suki's garage in Miami, she expects the loud cars and louder people to ignore her. Instead, she catches the attention of Han Lue, who notices the bruises hidden under her sleeves and the way she flinches every time someone moves too quickly. While Dominic Toretto and the rest of the crew slowly become protective over the quiet British girl, Han becomes the safe place she keeps gravitating toward without understanding why. As Summer accidentally begins regressing whenever she feels secure, the crew spirals into panic-buying snacks, hoodies, blankets, and stuffed animals while trying to understand why a nineteen-year-old looks so confused by kindness. Between street races, garage chaos, and found-family dinners, Summer slowly learns what being cared for actually feels like.

The world ended, and Negan learned quickly that mercy was a liability. Then he found Summer. She's small, frightened, and behaves far younger than she should-sometimes a quiet toddler, sometimes barely more than a baby. Negan assumes it's trauma, the kind the apocalypse leaves carved into people whether they survive or not. He doesn't have the words for what's happening to her. He doesn't know that she regresses between the ages of zero and five. All he knows is that she cries when she's overwhelmed, clings when she's scared, and calms when he stays close. Negan never meant to become her caregiver. He doesn't call it comfort or protection-just another responsibility in a world that doesn't forgive mistakes. But as Summer slips into her smaller headspace, needing patience, routine, and gentleness, Negan is forced to confront something he buried long ago: the instinct to protect something soft. Set in The Walking Dead, Soft Things in a Brutal World is a slow-burn caregiver story about survival, unexpected tenderness, and a man learning that softness isn't weakness-it's what makes surviving worth it.

Riley Lachkov's life has only ever revolved around one thing-soccer. Raised in a family where emotions don't really exist, he's kept a cold front for as long as he can remember. Most people think they know him: a cocky, arrogant, rude jerk who couldn't care less about what anyone thinks. But there's a part of him no one's ever seen-and he intends to keep it that way. Archer Wilson has everything going for him. Top of his classes, most popular boy in school, and Saint Arthur's golden boy. He's charismatic, effortlessly kind, and has a way of making anyone fall for him without trying. When Riley's family immigrates from Russia to the States, he struggles to adjust, forced to start over in a place that feels nothing like home. His closed-off attitude and tendency to act like a total douchebag don't help either-they just push people further away. But Archer doesn't back off. If anything, he's more intrigued by the new transfer student, determined to break down every wall Riley has spent his life building. He can't help but praise him for everything he does, and quickly realizes he's smitten the moment he meets him. What happens when Archer, Saint Arthur's golden boy, starts falling for the new transfer student who seems to hate everyone? Will Riley finally let him in-or keep pushing him away like he always has? #1 in #gay (12.19.2025) tropes: #grumpyxsunshine, #polaropposites, #slowburn, #temporaryunrequitedlove #popularnerdxlonelyathlete #chasingarc #groveling #redemptionarc All Rights Reserved to Asphericity

(Book 1 of the Scott Family series) Valery Coolridge has always been different. Her nose and ears are more sensitive than other's she knows and she's never quite fit in. Not to mention the sleep walking. It's always random and she always wakes up naked and in a different place around her apartment. Sometimes there's scratches on the floor and things knocked over. On her twenty first birthday, she meets Travis Scott and learns exactly why she's different and why she's not as different as she thinks. Together, they learn about her hidden past and a world she never knew existed. *** Okay, disclaimer. There will be mature language, some blood, and sexy-sex stuff. The romance aspect will be pretty fast paced and there is no fated mates, or alphas, or packs even really. It's explained in the story. I hope you enjoy!
