(This is the old unedited version. I figured since so many people have asked for it, I would repost this, at least until the edited version is complete. This way you all can reread as you want and not have to wait for my adhd to stop being mean to me lmao.) (Fair Warning... as I've copied and pasted this to a doc from A03 I might have lost some of my chapter tag warnings...) Virgil Sharpe, a mute homeless street rat, who's been on his own since he was a boy, ends up beaten and dying in the woods he called home... when suddenly a voice pulls his attention away from the black pulling at his mind. "I can save you..." It spoke... Its voice like a song in the wind... magic in the air. He could feel the heat all around him as his vision blurred and darkened. "I can save you..." It repeated as this blurry figure bent down to look him over. "...but your life will belong to me... After all..." The figure slowly cleared enough, allowing Virgil to get a good look at the ethereal being before him, literally glowing in the night air. "You're the one who fell into my circle."

Cecilia doesn't do romance. She does lipstick, control, and emotional self-sabotage. But when a first date turns into a weekend away with a stranger named Eli, she finds herself slipping - not into love, but into something far more dangerous: vulnerability. Patterns Are a Bitch is a literary novel about emotional detachment, female rage, and the quiet violence of trying to feel again. Perfect for fans of Sally Rooney, Ottessa Moshfegh, and hot people with cold hearts.

Mariana doesn't cry. She doesn't feel the way others do. She studies the dead for a living. Because the dead are easier. Mariana is a forensic pathologist who understands the human body down to its smallest details - except for one thing: emotion. Feelings don't make sense to her. They don't follow rules. They can't be dissected. Until Camila walks into her life - warm, observant, and impossible to ignore. A psychologist who sees too much. Feels too much. And slowly begins to pull Mariana into something she cannot analyze, categorize, or control. What grows between them is not gentle. Not safe. Not easy to name. This is not a love story. It's an exploration of what happens when a mind built to detach is forced to feel. Because when someone who doesn't understand feelings starts to experience them... It doesn't look like love. It looks like unraveling.

A raw and introspective journey into the mind of an introvert, this narrative dives into the struggle with overthinking, social isolation, and the battle for self-acceptance.

In a world where silence is survival... love may be the most dangerous risk of all. Abigail Snow has spent her life surviving by staying silent. Brilliant, controlled, and emotionally untouchable, Abby built walls no one could break through-walls forged in foster homes, shattered trust, and a past she never speaks of. Her life is quiet, calculated... and entirely on her own terms. Until the night a terrified, pregnant runaway collapses on her doorstep. Emily Winter arrives with nothing but fear in her eyes and a secret she can no longer run from. Against every instinct, Abby lets her in-offering shelter, safety, and the unspoken promise of protection. What begins as a reluctant arrangement transforms into something neither expected: a fragile bond formed in shared loneliness, quiet mornings, and a nursery painted in soft green. But the peace doesn't last. When tragedy strikes during childbirth, Abby finds herself caring for Emily's newborn daughter-Madison-and thrown into the crosshairs of one of the most powerful families in the world. As Abby steps into the Winter empire, dark truths unravel: impossible expectations, family demons, and a legacy Emily never had the chance to escape. Everyone wants a piece of Madison. Except Abby. Abby wants only one thing: to keep the baby alive, safe, and far from the ghosts that destroyed her mother. But Abby has secrets of her own-secrets tied to the business world, to power she never asked for, and to a past that refuses to stay buried. As the Winters close in and Emily's last wishes demand answers, Abby is forced to face the one thing she has spent her whole life avoiding: Her own heart. Heart-wrenching, atmospheric, and full of quiet intensity, Beneath Her Silence is a story of trauma, found family, and the unbreakable bond between two souls who were never meant to cross-until they did.

She listens to the tick of the pendulum like it's a war drum echoing inside her chest. Everyone thinks she's made of ice-but even ice remembers fire. A poetic descent into a woman's fragmented mind as she chases silence, memory, and the freedom only blood seems to promise. For readers of lyrical fiction, dark poetry, and inner monologues laced with myth and madness.

As its victims start to fall under Roman and Virgil are faced with such a horrible choice resulting in tragedy striking the family. Now... Now it's a matter of Roman relearning what it means to feel yet again... to feel... And to love.

He was the type to shrug at ruin. Cold, cocky, careless-his mask was confidence, but beneath it lay only dust and absence. Promises meant nothing. Apologies never came. He moved through others' lives like a storm without aftermath, leaving behind silence, not sorrow. At least, that's what he told himself. But now, something clings to him. A shadow etched in red. A raven, slick and bleeding with memory, has nested on his head-its claws sunk into the rot of everything he pretended not to feel. No one else sees it, but it watches him constantly, whispering truths he spent years ignoring. He doesn't remember the names of those he hurt. But the raven does. And as the walls of his reality melt into guilt-soaked hallucinations, the figure who once stood above it all is forced to reckon with a version of himself even he forgot existed. He is nameless. He is forgotten. But the raven remembers.

Kim didn't believe he needed therapy, especially not for emotional trauma. He was fine, never been better after the invasion. Still, his brothers forced him to go to therapy to face what he never showed-his emotions. "Why do I need therapy for that?" Kim asked, "why do I need therapy for shoving away my emotions, and not reacting to them?" "Why do you believe you are alright, shoving all these feelings away?" "Because I don't hurt people, and I don't hurt myself. I'm in control"
