He vowed silence. He vowed purity. He burned an entire monastery to claim her. Isolde was meant to disappear-buried in a quiet monastery to repent for the scandal that ruined her family. Her unwanted husband, Brother Cassian Vale, was meant to keep her in line: silent, detached, holy. But Cassian is no saint. He is the Church's best-kept secret-The Butcher of Adrion, tucked away behind vows meant to leash the monster within. And sharing a hallway with the woman he was forced to marry awakens every violent, forbidden urge he swore to drown in prayer. His pacing becomes obsession. His silence becomes possession. And when another man dares to touch her, the saint shatters-and the sinner rises. Now, Isolde is the spark and Cassian is the wildfire. The monastery wants to cast her out. Cassian would rather burn the world. When the bell tower rings its final warning, she must decide: flee the monster everyone fears... or fall willingly into the arms of the man who would destroy heaven for her. A dark romance of obsession, ruin, and a love too dangerous to cage.

But destiny is already stirring. As hunters close in on his family and long-buried secrets begin to surface, Vlad feels something ancient awakening inside him - a power that demands sacrifice, restraint, and hard choices. To protect the people he cares about, Vlad must decide how much of his humanity he's willing to lose...

Renesmee Cullen is trapped between worlds. Half-human, half-immortal, and wholly alone in her fears. Nights are haunted by dreams of the Volturi, visions that claw at her with guilt and a sense that everything she has survived is her fault. By day, she hides her cravings, her growing dependence on human blood, and the secrets she can't bear to share, even from the family who once kept her safe. Ashwood, Grey Harbour, may be a quiet town on Vancouver Island, but beneath its misty forests and cold waters, Renesmee's life is unraveling. When her nightmares begin to pull her in directions she cannot resist, and the blood that once sustained her is denied, she faces a choice: stay among the living she can no longer trust, or seek the darkness that calls her name. A story of addiction, guilt, and the lure of power, where every decision has a cost and every dream could change everything.

This is for the unspoken, a force for the unheard, a promise to stand shoulder to shoulder. You are not alone. And if the world can't hold your fire? Then we'll burn it down together.

(This is a crackship between the Undertaker from Black Butler and Henry's mom from Horrid Henry) The Henry house was nothing if not... messy. Mornings full of spilled cereal, slammed doors, and constant shouts of "Don't be horrid, Henry!" Mums fussed over laundry, silly fights erupted over toys, and Perfect Peter tried, again and again, to stay perfect. But that was before the knock at twilight. A tall stranger in a black coat and a tipped top‑hat appears at the doorstep. Pale skin. Calm smile. Eyes that seem too ancient to belong to the living. He calls himself the Undertaker, and says he might offer services to "very ordinary households." Mum stares. Henry's grin vanishes. Peter clutches his teddy, Bobo. The house goes too quiet. What follows isn't a typical schoolyard prank or one of Henry's chaotic schemes. It's far stranger. Coffin‑shop shadows brushing against the wallpaper. Whispered footsteps down empty hallways. Midnight visitors who never leave. As gothic secrets seep into their cosy home, the ordinary collides with the unearthly. Henry smells opportunity (pranks, chaos, you know him). Peter just wants to hide under blankets. Mum isn't sure whether to faint, fight or call for help. And the Undertaker? He offers silent smiles, polite patience, and promises that life, and death, are more complicated than any bedtime story. Curiosity, fear, and reluctant fascination spiral together. Because sometimes, the weirdest visits turn out to be the most life‑changing...
