Engines scream, lights go out, and twenty hearts chase glory. But beneath the helmets are people- fractured, flawed, and fighting to stay whole.

This could have been a gentle story for quiet autumn evenings. But it shattered against Morphine - a chapter that will not let you stay indifferent. And now, you'll understand why. This is not a story about perfect love. It's about healing through pain, about love that blooms after trauma, and about the fragile line between salvation and obsession. She is a woman rebuilding herself from the ashes. Not strong - simply real. A mother. A fighter. A writer whose words cut deeper than truth itself. She doesn't want to be someone's muse - she only wants to be understood. He is the man the world worships... and fears. A legend. A symbol of an era. But behind the fame, there's a man haunted by his own darkness. Together, they are fire and gasoline - two broken souls learning how to love without losing themselves. Their story isn't a fairytale. It's an age-gap dark romance about redemption, grief, and the courage to love again. With touch. With words. With silence between the lines.

Hi, my name is Melissa. I've never considered myself a strong person, but I didn't realize that at the time. I always struggled to keep a job, never really understanding why happiness seemed so elusive. I thought I was content, unaware that I was, in fact, struggling. I know what you might be thinking, but please, keep reading. Something happened to me during my first year of working at 16 that changed my life forever. It hurt me in ways I couldn't fully comprehend, and while that pain has lessened over time, it shaped the person I've become-someone stronger than I ever imagined I could be. What I thought would destroy me instead pushed me to move to another country, a place where I barely knew the language. At just 24 years old, despite my parents' concerns and their insistence that I shouldn't go alone, I embarked on this journey by myself. Up until then, I had often hidden behind my parents, relying on them to face the world for me. But the events of my past forced me to confront life head-on. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was hiding from the world, keeping my head down, and avoiding the challenges that came my way. But now, I'm ready to share my story, lift my head, and face the world with courage. It's been a journey full of unexpected twists, and I promise you-it's going to get interesting.

The air is heavy with anticipation, the wind whispering secrets in his ear, as Gray sets out on a journey to unravel the mystery of the curse and claim his freedom. The stakes are high, the fate of his soul hanging precariously in the balance. Will he succeed, or will the curse ultimately prevail, condemning him to an eternity of rebirth and suffering?

Thirty seven years after the Baltic Fallout, an unplanned and unsanctioned extension goes awry for Pardus Caterva. Terminating Dessies, disease-riddled ex-citizens, is always risky business, so Pardus shrug it off as unusual and nothing more. Until a fright in the medic wing of Fyddin Seminary. Add into the mix the mad rantings of an escaped target, and the Caterva are left rightly suspicious. Pardus come to terms with the cards they have been dealt with, and despite their programming to serve Sentry and fulfil their duty to Crux, they find themselves in agreement: to do the right thing. Juniper Wolff has never been a fan of cliches, and finds herself impossibly less so when it's her own fingers burnt from playing with the fire. Because sometimes, doing the right thing simply isn't enough. Note: contains depictions of violence, "monsters" and muted language. All Rights Reserved. A Grace | Abbey Grace.
