[UNDER EDITING] Bleak. Barren. Lifeless. Deadly. That was the only version of the world you knew. The Death Stranding destroyed the earth that once thrived with liveliness, leaving in its wake a world of destruction and death - life in neutral shades instead of vibrant colors. You had mostly been on your own for over a decade now, but recently, you started doing what you knew how to do best: killing BTs. And now, at the age of 26, you were called upon for a mission unlike one you've ever done before. Working with Sam Porter Bridges, you would go across what now remained of America and connect it through the chiral network. You knew it wouldn't be easy, especially when you catch the eye of the charismatic leader of the Homo Demens. You just didn't expect to fall for him as well. - *I do not own the rights to Death Stranding *AFAB reader (she/her pronouns) *Mature content (smut, violence, mentions of self-harm and suicide, etc.)

"It is your choice," he said, stepping so close to me that our lips were almost touching. "Either do what I say - or get another job." My heart stood still as I gazed up into his deep, dark, dangerous eyes... In a world where women's only role in life is to sit at home and look pretty, Lilly is determined to fight for her freedom. There's only one problem: a powerful man blocking her way.

In the shadowed world of Fyrm, vampires reign and humans survive. Luna DuPont, born blind with snow-white hair, has lived her life hidden, protected from the attention her strange appearance might draw. But fate doesn't care for safety-and neither does the ancient vampire king who senses her presence long before he knows her name. When desperation leads Luna into the heart of a castle ruled by cruelty, she expects to serve. She doesn't expect to be claimed. Not by the most feared creature alive. Not by the one who feels drawn to her in ways he cannot explain. As war brews between tradition and change, Luna must navigate a dangerous new world of blood, power, and forbidden connection. But some destinies are written in more than prophecy-some are written in blood. And love, in the unlikeliest of places, may be the most dangerous legacy of all.
