In which Layla finds a new home in a new city.

Shawn Hatosy

After getting cheated on and chased out of Westbridge, Cara Spinner deserved a break. She needed a new start, and PTMC was the perfect place.

Emma Franklin is a saint. Andrew Cody is a sinner. In the Cody house, Smurf is god and loyalty is a religion. But the "static" in Andrew's head only goes quiet at The Sandy Anchor, over bad coffee and a smile from a woman who calls him Andrew. When Smurf marks the diner as a decoy for their next heist, the sanctuary is compromised. Now, Pope has to pay the tithe. He'll be the one to walk through those doors with a mask and a gun, because the only thing more dangerous than terrorizing the woman he wants is letting someone else do it.

⋆｡°✩°｡⋆ One year ago, Sophia and Jack crossed a line they were never supposed to cross-after Robby's birthday night out, what started as tension and stolen glances turned into a single, unexpected moment that neither of them ever truly talked about again. No labels, no closure, just silence layered over something that never fully left either of them. Since then, they've learned how to exist around each other in the ER-careful, controlled, buried under professionalism. Jack stayed distant, convinced it was the safer choice. Sophia told herself it didn't mean more than it did. But both of them kept remembering it anyway. Now, with Sophia transferring to night shift, everything shifts. The walls between them start to crack in the long hours of shared trauma cases, quiet break room conversations, and moments where their hands brush too long or their eyes linger too openly. Night shift strips everything down-no distractions, no escape-just them, the chaos of the ER, and feelings they never dealt with properly. What was once buried starts resurfacing. Tension turns into closeness. Silence turns into almost-confessions. And every shift becomes harder to survive without acknowledging what that night really was-and what it still might become. Because in the end, it was never just one night. ⋆｡°✩°｡⋆ Jack Abbott x fem OC

Jack Abbot is not an overly-neighborly person. He has secret nicknames in his head for most of the people on his floor and actively avoids any and all types of neighborhood politics. However, he can't deny his growing fondness for the single mom and toddler in apartment seventeen. (Nor his burning hatred for your baby daddy).

Vivienne Riddle spent her entire life believing she was the daughter of an exemplary Slytherin and a Black woman distant enough to leave no trace behind. Raised by the Malfoys and educated in France, she arrives at Hogwarts in her sixth year carrying a surname everyone seems to recognise before she does. But between ancient corridors, buried secrets, and knowing looks that linger a little too long, Vivienne discovers that her transfer was no accident-and that she is being watched closely by the one man who has spent her entire life pretending she did not exist: Severus Snape. ⚠️ Content Warning In this version of the story, all characters involved in romantic and/or sexual relationships are adults and fully responsible for their own choices and actions. This story contains dark and mature themes, including psychological manipulation, power imbalances, emotional control, trauma, morally ambiguous authority figures, obsession, possessive dynamics, and the exploration of inherited darkness. It also includes magical corruption, fractured identity, violence, and a complex tension between mentor and student. This is not a traditional romance, nor is it a redemption arc. The characters are flawed. Choices have consequences.

Severus Snape survived the war, but surviving was not the same as living. Retreating into the solitude of Hogwarts, he has grown accustomed to a life of silence, books, and solitude-until a stray black cat crosses his path one evening. What begins as an act of kindness quickly becomes something far more complicated when Severus discovers the cat is an Animagus... and a young woman who claims to have escaped the Ministry. She has secrets. He has questions. And neither of them is prepared for what happens when their lives become entangled.
