Liam and Lexi fall in love before they ever meet. When they see each other, the bond between them doesn't hesitate. It snaps into place-unmistakable, permanent, and consuming. A mating bond neither of them can deny. Their connection solidifies in pieces-voices in the dark, shared confessions, laughter that feels intimate. Liam chooses Lexi openly. He builds a life beside her, shares a bed, a home, a future that feels real in his hands. He loves her with devotion, with tenderness, with the certainty of someone who knows she is his. And still-Knox is always there. Knox is Liam's best friend, his brother in everything but blood, the one he has protected since childhood. For a long time, Knox's pain is loud and needy, and even as he begins to heal, Liam doesn't know how to stop making room for him. So he keeps inviting him in. Into their home. Into their routines. Into the quiet spaces where Lexi thought it would finally be just the two of them. Liam never sees it as choosing Knox over Lexi. To him, it's loyalty. Habit. Love that existed first. To Lexi, it feels like being mated-yet never fully alone with her mate. This is a story about a bond that is unbreakable-and a boundary that keeps being crossed. About loving someone who means well, but doesn't realize that presence can be a kind of betrayal. About learning that choosing your mate isn't a single decision-it's something you have to do every day, especially when the past keeps knocking at the door.

ONGOING -- Maverick was happy. He had friends. A career and hobbies. A girlfriend. Things were trending up. Until Maya-fucking-Falcon walked through the front door and turned his world upside down once more. She had no right. No right to make him long for what could have been. No right to parade her perfect little kids around his community. No right to make him question every decision he'd ever made. And he'd make sure she knew it. But as the truth of their past comes to light and he uncovers a web of manipulation and lies bigger than them all, Maverick must confront the fact that none of it had ever been about him. That he'd simply been a puppet in the deliberate and tactical destruction of the only woman he'd ever loved. -- To Echo a Falcon will follow Maya and Maverick as they reluctantly open the door to their shared history and relearn who they are to one another - with a sprinkle of shenanigans from the kiddos (and maybe even the Ravens).

This story will explore some heavier themes - including off-page SA, betrayal, and loss of a spouse/parent - so please make sure to review the full TW list when it goes live. Guaranteed HEA!
