    What's in the heart of a Hyde? Is it purely dark and filled with hatred, or is it still possible to make it flicker? *** Tyler Galpin is done with mothers and masters. His heart can't take any more sorrows and rejections. He believes himself to be a lost cause. But yet, when Isadora Capri, the new principal at Nevermore Academy, offers him the opportunity to enroll in a special rehabilitation program for outcasts whose abilities have made them dangerous to others, he reluctantly agrees. The moment he steps into the school, the whispers and gasps start. They all fear him. Everyone but Wednesday Addams. She who saw him. She who freed him. She who he swore to kill. When another string of Hyde attacks occurs, Tyler becomes the prime suspect. With no one on his side, he is about to give up when an unlikely ally steps forward: Wednesday Addams. She believes he's innocent, asking him to aid her in the investigation. But they have to work fast, before Tyler is deemed too dangerous for the school and sent to another asylum. The hunt for the culprit leads right into Tyler's past and makes him question whether what he believes about himself is actually true. Perhaps it's not too late to make the heart of this Hyde flicker? *** This story is set in an imagined season 4 of the show. It's told entirely in Tyler's POV as he navigates Nevermore after having learned to control his Hyde (well, somewhat at least... you'll see!). It also features a slow burn (because I don't think there is any other way to do this, as there is a lot of healing and mending needed) romance between him and Wednesday.

    In a world gripped by a second Great Depression, where poverty and conflict have torn society apart, Ariella struggles to survive in the midst of a devastating pandemic that has unleashed the undead-crawlers-upon the earth. Haunted by betrayal and heartbreak, Ariella flees her shattered past and stumbles upon a group of survivors hiding in the wreckage of civilization. But trust is a scarce commodity, and the group's wary leader, Jonah finds that Ariella's presence stirs something in him-an unease, a flicker of vulnerability he'd rather keep buried. Desperate to prove her worth and carve out a place in their fragile community, Ariella must navigate a labyrinth of suspicion and old wounds. As she battles the monsters beyond the cave walls-and the ones within her own heart-she finds herself at a crossroads: will she surrender to the darkness of her past, or fight to forge a new identity in the ruins of the world? In this tale of survival, love, and overcoming fears, Ariella's journey will test the boundaries of loyalty, trust, and the true meaning of family in a world where hope is as scarce as a beating heart.
