Sexiness was a quantitative index of how much skin shows with a V-neck T-shirt. Logan Luxembourg stood firm with his philosophy. It was his gospel. He thought he was the apex predator, an alpha male. But he was just a V-neck T-shirt draped over a broken heart. This is the epiphany that love does not fall from the sky. Sexiness was a qualitative measure of another's identity. Troye Angelou was someone who most thought of as a fool. A fool to give up his livelihood to another; to lose his own will on issues that concerned his life. He was the prey, a puppet. This is the realization that love can be toxic too. Perhaps Logan's identity was his neck-line and Troye's was built by someone else. They were different, yet so similar. They were lost in themselves, so much to fight for, but no one to fight against. They knew that love could be forever. Until that day came, they would fantasize of a love that never ended; of a lover that loved despite their flaws, unconditionally.

Pskov, Russia - Winter 1941 The Germans came quickly. They stayed even longer. Eighteen year-old Katja is left alone when her brother leaves to fight for the Red Army. By the time winter settles over Pskov, her town is already occupied. Its streets patrolled by enemy soldiers, its people starving, its familiarity stripped away piece by piece. Survival becomes her only goal. Until she meets him. Wilhelm Winter, a young German officer stationed in occupied Pskov, never imagined the war would look like this. A lover of Russian literature and music, he finds himself trapped between orders and conscience, and the lines between right and wrong begin to blur. A single act of kindness, a pair of gloves offered in the snow, binds their lives together. What begins as fleeting glances and stolen moments grows into something far more dangerous. In a city ruled by fear and suspicion, Katja and Wilhelm navigate hunger, loss, desire, and the unbearable weight of loving the enemy. Every meeting risks exposure. Every choice carries consequences that neither of them can escape. As winter deepens and the war demands more blood, they must decide whether love can survive under occupation or whether it will destroy them both. * Wilhelm Winter is inspired by the character from the German miniseries, Generation War.

*****Strange Magics 1.5- Sequel to The Shadows Between the Stars***** Trigger warnings located in first chapter. HESTIEL- I had known about the evils of the adult world since before I should have been worrying about them. Had been in that world, diving in without thought to myself or what damage it would do to me, since I could form a coherent thought of my love for my family. To protect everyone I loved, I had fought and won against the worst kind of monsters. I had never thought to find myself an equal, a partner, someone I could share my life with. Someone who could understand the darknesses I had fought against, and empathize with the struggles I had faced my entire life. Someone who could sweep me, a woman who had never known the succor of another, off of her feet like some damsel in distress. Gods, I had never thought to expect him. ALEX- I had loved her since I was too young to know who I truly was. Since I was young enough that my uniqueness made sense not even to myself. Since I first began to squirm and fidget in my own skin. I had loved her since she gave me the courage to be myself in a world that nearly destroyed me. I finally found her, am finally by her side, and gods, she is glorious. As beautiful as I knew she would be, as steadfast and courageous as I had seen in her soul that fateful day I first saw her. She is everything I had hoped and prayed and longed for. Winning her hand, her trust, her soul, and her heart are my greatest ambitions. Will it be easy? Gods, no. The woman is strength itself and has never opened her trust fully to another in her entire life. She is stubborn, unruly, powerful, bitter, and wholly blockaded to any and all romantic advances. But dear gods, I am patient, and I know- I know it will be fucking worth it when she returns my smile and she is mine.
