Once, long ago, Zahra Howard liked to consider herself fearless. Whether it was a car going faster than humanly possible, illegally racing down the rural roads of Oklahoma, or even chasing its tornadoes. She never seemed to fear anything. Until she did... And after that, she promised she'd never go back. She promised she'd never get that close again. Until, five years later, while she's busy sticking to that promise with determination, the past comes knocking on her door, asking for a favor. She could say no. It would be easy to say no. But the thing about her was once she cared; it was hard to let go. Even if she tried. And somehow, that made saying no harder than the alternative. Which is how she broke her own promise. How she ended up back here in Oklahoma, and right during an unprecedented tornado outbreak ravaging the place she'd once called home. ----- Twisters (2024) Twist in the Tale Series - Standalone Tyler Owens / OC

Proxy: the agency, function, or power of a person authorized to act as the deputy or substitute for another. °•°•° SSA Koraline Thompson wanted to join the BAU the second she read one of David Rossi's books. So when she's handed the golden opportunity to fill in for Agent Morgan during his six month recovery, she takes it without hesitation. What she didn't expect was to befriend the gorgeous genius with comforting brown eyes and an entire encyclopaedia in his head. Dr Spencer Reid had been in the BAU for almost twelve years. He'd seen his fair share of agents join and leave the team, but none were as stunning as Morgan's proxy. Between her perfectly proportioned face, her sense of humour, and tolerance of his ramblings, he inferred that he'd be in trouble. As per usual, his hypothesis was right. The only thing standing between them is Kory's rule: no dating coworkers. Between that, FBI rules, and the shadows of their pasts, a relationship is simply off the table. Or it should have been. If only he wasn't able to read her so easily. And if only she wasn't one of the few people actually interested in every word he had to say. This would be a long six months. ||Spencer Reid Fan-Fic - Criminal Minds|| ||Seasons 11-15|| ||mostly original content with important canon events/trauma|| ||Content warnings inside|| ||Complete - 280,000 words|| ||Book 1/3 of the Thompson/Vasquez Universe|| Notable rankings: #1 in criminalminds #1 in spencerreid #1 in crimesolving #1 in friendstolovers #2 in ocstory #5 in pining #7 in crimefiction

Jasper Hale was born to blood and war. He had worn the uniform of the Union, carried the weight of slaughter across centuries, and buried himself in the Cullens' false salvation. But guilt is a brand deeper than any scar, and when he nearly lost himself in Bella Swan's blood, Jasper knew he couldn't stay. He fled north, into the cold. Into exile. Into Montana. Elkhorn Ranch was meant to be penance. A place where the days were carved out of ice and bone, where silence pressed down heavier than the snow. He came there as a ghost, another drifter with calloused hands and eyes too old to meet. But fate had already marked him. Wyatt Rose Uley was branded long before Jasper laid eyes on her. Born in La Push, she had carried the weight of an absent father, a brother who turned into something monstrous after she ran, and a mother who had nothing left to give. Wyatt carved her own way out-eighteen years old, a duffel bag and a sharp tongue, rodeo summers and brutal winters that kept her alive. She was fire and grit. He was ash and ruin. And when they met, the world shifted. What began as barbs in the frozen dark bled into something more dangerous: a hunger that burned hotter than the firewood in the bunkhouse stove. He called her Rosebud when she spat curses at him. She called him pretty boy when she should have called him predator. They bickered, they laughed, and somewhere between, they bled into each other. He thought he had come to Montana to disappear. She thought she had come to Montana to survive. But Alice Cullen had already seen it-the long winter nights, the stars stretched like scars across the sky, the moment Jasper Hale would meet the woman who would undo him. Some bonds are forged in blood. Some loves are carved out of ruin. And some fires brand you forever. This is Branded. A Southern Gothic tale of ghosts, cowboys, and a love too sharp to let go.
