Strange house we must keep and fill. House that eats, and pleads, and kills. ▍ AN ORIGINAL STORY ╱ historical romantic melodrama! Cape Iris was swathed in lilacs and lilies. A small land of pure fragrance. A honey scene of air soft dandelion tuffs encased by a large pool of Himalayan salt and ivory sand beaches. The Chevaliers ruled that place. (The Chevaliers ruled the world.) Whispers were harsh, tones full of lead at the mention of the Chevaliers wealth. They were gold emblemed, star-studded, but there was something about them. Something the world raised their necks, clearing the ears, eager to know. What do you know about the Chevaliers? Nothing. No one knows a thing. Some said the father had multiple wives. Some said the mother had a lobotomy. Some said the son had a drug problem. Some said the daughter murdered the Lowry boy. But everyone talks. So does money. And the Chevalier's had a lot of it. But no one could pay Killian Alcott, esteemed writer, enough to keep his fingers off the typewriter and his prying eyes away from the Chevalier's that dreaded Summer of 1954. But there was one Chevalier in particular that left an impression. Call it a mark. A wound within flesh. A narrowed confession only spoken between two. And that single impression doomed the Chevalier name. Isn't that the best part of a story? The tragedy. ❪ m!oc & m!oc ❫ ❪ f!oc & m!oc ❫ 𓊝 written by april PEARLJARS © 2024 COVER by the amazing @morstern ❤︎

In 1959, Janet Brooks is the picture of a good girl-modest, well-mannered, and always doing what's expected of her. That is, until she meets Vinny VanSant, a rough-around-the-edges greaser with a temper, a leather jacket, and a heart full of devotion for the girl he calls his doll. What starts as a passionate, reckless love quickly turns into a battle against whispers in the school hallways, family disapproval, and dangerous enemies from Vinny's past. As Janet falls deeper for Vinny, she's forced to choose between the life she's always known and the boy who makes her heart race. But love in the 1950s isn't simple-especially when it's tangled in secrets, violence, and the fear of losing everything. Decades later, Krista Morgan stumbles upon a past that was meant to stay buried. Raised by her loving grandmother, Janet, Krista has always known about the romance between her and Vinny-but when she finds a missing person's poster from 1973 with Vinny's name on it, everything changes. Determined to find out what really happened, Krista dives headfirst into the mystery, uncovering the truth about Vinny's sudden disappearance, his dangerous ties, and a love story that never truly ended. With the help of her best friend Molly and her boyfriend Mark, Krista pieces together the past-realizing that some love stories never fade, and some secrets refuse to stay hidden. But as Krista gets closer to the truth, she finds herself being watched. Someone doesn't want her to uncover what really happened to Vinny. And she's about to find out why. A story of forbidden love, sacrifice, and the lengths we go to for the ones we love-Loving Vinny is a nostalgic and emotional journey through the past and present, where love is fierce, choices are costly, and some mysteries refuse to die.

Quiet, intelligent, and dangerously compelling, Michael awakens desires and emotions Fia has spent years burying beneath caution and self-control. Their attraction is immediate. Their connection undeniable. But as war erupts around the Corleone family, Michael is drawn deeper into a world he once swore to avoid. Forced into exile in Sicily after a deadly act of vengeance, he and Fia build a passionate and fragile life together far from America's violence, only to discover that the reach of their enemies extends far beyond New York. As Michael steps ever closer to becoming his father's heir, Fia must decide whether love is enough to survive the darkness gathering around them both. Because loving Michael Corleone may ultimately mean watching him become the very thing he once feared. Fanfiction inspired by the novel, The Godfather by Mario Puzo, and the film of the same name.

1950s Harlem... rooted in struggle, rich in pride. I knew it all too well, smoke curling through jazz-filled nights and danger walking wearing a tie. There was only one word to describe the De Luca mob family, and that was cutthroat. Their presence whispered in streets they hadn't even walked, and their influence evaded the law. And even my family's diner wasn't safe from their corruption... until my family used a pawn never used before... a girl. Me.
