In a quiet apartment building, two neighbours lead seemingly different lives. One is a reserved lieutenant, shrouded in mystery and burdened by his past, while the other is you, a curious woman navigating the ups and downs of daily life. Though your interactions are sparse, with fleeting glances and near-missed opportunities for connection, you wondered if there was more to the man you called your neighbour. The days unfold and the distance between you both blurs, hinting at the potential for something deeper amidst the silence of your shared walls. (Afab reader) Much-needed note: When I say slowburn, I mean it. It's SLOWburn. If there was smut in this, I would have put a mature tag, but there is not, so don't read this just because you wanna read people smash. Began: 22-09-2024 Finished: 25-12-2024

You inherited your aunts old house ten years ago, and now it was finally time to move in. A decade of abandonment clearly shows, but there is more to these walls than you initially thought... Strange noises, unexplainable drops in temperature and you could swear there was a pair of eyes watching you from the shadows. --- This story is safe for work!
