    In the ceaseless downpour of circumstance, we are not condemned to await the clearing of skies; our freedom lies in the choreography of our steps amidst the deluge. Existence is not given-it is chosen, moment by moment, in the naming of what we will become. To name is to create; to create is to assert that reality is not fixed but forged in the crucible of will. The dance-that defiant movement against the weight of the world-is the truest form of resistance. For in dancing, we refuse to be mere victims of the storm; we become its interpreters, its partners, its conquerors. The rain never truly ceases; we simply learn to move within it.

But Livy's peculiar behavior and whispered secrets hint at something far more sinister-something tied to Hill Manor's past and a curse that refuses to be buried. With the help of a loyal friend and an unlikely ally, Debbie delves into a chilling tale of betrayal, revenge, and sacrifice. Time is running out, and as the truth unfolds, Debbie must confront her deepest fears to save her sister before it's too late. Hill Manor hides more than just family secrets.

    One thing one could say about Arthur Ashford is that no place had ever kept him long enough to become his home. So when he returns to London for his brother's funeral, he expects grief, awkward relatives, and a quick departure. Instead, he finds Kathe, the widow. She is composed, elegant, and entirely too in control for a woman who has just buried her husband. Naturally, Arthur decides this is none of his concern. Unfortunately, he keeps noticing things. A leather pocket-book that makes no sense at all. A household that runs too smoothly. A widow who always seems to be exactly where she should be, no more, no less. And the more he looks, the worse it gets. Because suspicion is inconvenient. Attraction is worse. And Kathe is both. Arthur tells himself he is imagining things. The difficulty is that he has never been good at leaving things alone. 💫 Victorian mystery with a slow-burn romance 💫 Forbidden love 💫 Strong heroin 💫 Funny and witty CHAPTER BY CHAPTER

    I am the house now, Lizzie. I've got you. I'll never let anything break you." In the sweltering heat of 92 Second Street, the air is thick with more than just the scent of stale mutton and brewing storms. It is thick with secrets. For thirty years, Emma Borden has been the architect of her sister's sanity, building a fortress of protection around Lizzie to honor a dying mother's wish. But a house built on repression is a dangerous place to live. Lizzie Borden is a woman of two faces: the pious Sunday School teacher the town respects, and the trapped bird screaming for air behind locked doors. When their miserly father destroys the only thing Lizzie loves, and Emma-the only anchor she has ever known-is pulled away, the foundation finally shatters. What follows is the most infamous crime in American history, but the real tragedy isn't the blood on the walls-it's the silent war between two sisters. One who committed the unthinkable to be free, and one who sacrificed her soul to keep the secret. From the cramped shadows of Second Street to the lonely halls of the Maplecroft mansion, The Anchor and the Ruin explores the psychological breaking point of a woman pushed too far and the sister who stayed by her side... until the silence became too loud to bear. Nineteen blows for the stepmother. Eleven for the father. A lifetime of silence for the sister.

    "Don't look so amused. I will kill you next time." He chuckles and his eyes have a dark look that I can't quite make out.

    The stage is set, the curtain rises. We are ready to begin. ~ The lights. The music. The people. The money. The rush. John craved everything, all the time. That was before Sherlock. In his veins, there was no blood. Just liquefied rubies rushing in circles through his body, to his pearl fingertips, his gold hair, his sapphire irises. Everything he touched became a mine of perfection, just waiting to be exploited and sold to every crevice in society. That was before Sherlock. When John tried to recall a good life before Sherlock, he failed. Because in this life, he had never held something so precious in his hands as a single silky chestnut curl or a perfectly sculpted alabaster jaw. After he met Sherlock, it was never enough. Lights became unwelcome spotlights. Music became noise. People became ragdolls. Money became worthless. The rush was still there, though. Just a hundred times stronger. They were incandescent. The wick had been set aflame - a raging hellfire that they knew would shatter their ordinary lives. But a flame that blazes so bright is never meant to last. A story of morbid, freakish love and bitter revenge that challenges the rules of the nineteenth century. Cover credits: @anonymiae (SHE IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE BEST) (Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters from BBC Sherlock. All that brilliant stuff came from Steven Moffat, Mark Gatiss, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Any real life resemblances are purely for fictional purposes.)

    {Moriarty The Patriot} [Sherlock Holmes X OC] Elise Lambert is an editor working at a publishing house who comes across Sherlock Holmes, a consulting detective. Their paths intertwine after that as they work together to unearth the mystery surrounding the Lord of Crime. That's the most basic summary I could come up with but oh well. Expect a lot of drama, enjoy ✌ Disclaimer: I don't own Moriarty The Patriot nor the characters from the anime or the original works of Arthur Conan Doyle. There are a few original characters of mine here, including the main character, obviously. (You can feel free to insert yourself in here tho) I've been working/procrastinating on this for so damn long, I actually can't believe I'm finally posting it. I did quite some research into things so there shouldn't be a lot of historical inaccuracies except for the ones in canon ig. But either way, if you find any errors regarding the setting or the writing, please point them out! English is not my first language but I am fluent so there's really no excuse for bad grammar. Any constructive criticism is welcomed. Also, shout out to my friend for motivating me to write this and being patient with me. Thank you.
