"The Brotherhood separates humans from the animals, athletes from the sociopaths. They're in the shadows, in every gym, dojo, mat, ring, and octagon. They defend the sacred art of combat, ensuring fighters don't use their skills to exploit the weak. Or worse, to kill."

---

Conner is a former U.S. Army pilot who thinks he's too volatile to be protective.  

Delilah is a Pakistani-American writer who thinks she's too different to be trusted. 

Expelled from his fight gym, Conner is hired as Delilah's private security by her superhero-movie-star boyfriend JR. But Conner yearns to fight again, if only The Brotherhood would absolve him for yielding to The Darkness.

Try as he might, Conner's reserved Texan demeanor is no match for a brown-eyed Brooklyn girl who talks too much... even if, she too, battles The Darkness. 

And JR, desperate to be an off-screen hero, may be involved in something much darker. 

But when bigotry terrorizes Los Angeles, who will confront The Darkness in a city ripe with summer blockbusters and barren of heroes? Who makes up The Brotherhood? And what, if anything, elevates us above the animals?

*Featuring music from nine iconic albums of '01-'02 and 300+ noir aesthetic GIFs.

Ziyah : His Haunted Heart by QueenJalexia

"No jay.. you can't.." His expression darkens at her words. He drops his hand from her cheek and takes a step back, the knife still clutched in his hand. "He took something from me that I can never get back, angel. Something precious." His voice is filled with a quiet, seething rage. He steps closer again, his eyes flashing with an intense obsession. "He took you away from me. He made sure our families were enemies. I can't forgive that." "I didn't want to marry Liam my dad.." Her voice breaks. His expression softens for a moment, his thumb unconsciously brushing over her lips. "Shh, I know. You never wanted Liam. You wanted me. Your dad forced this engagement on you just to keep us apart." His grip on her throat tightens slightly as he leans down, his voice barely a whisper. "And now, you're engaged to Liam. The thought of you with him... it makes me fucking insane." His eyes burn with a possessive intensity. "I can't let that happen, angel." "I'm sorry..." She whispers, her voice low and quiet afraid. scared. His expression cracks, revealing a deep vulnerability beneath the madness and obsession. "Don't apologize. You have nothing to be sorry for." His thumb strokes her pulse point as he closes his eyes briefly. "I'm the one who should be sorry... for what I'm about to do." Tropes: Emo x Softie. Obsessed psycho Mafia x Innocent Collage student.

Burning for Her: A Love Out of Tune by dreAmyfantacy

"She said she hates me?" Then let her hate me so much she can't breathe without thinking of me. I don't want her back just to hold her hand. I want her to be mine. Her soul, her fire, her chaos... all of it. And I swear on every ounce of pain I carry... I'll make her feel safe again. I'll make her feel chosen. I'll make her feel like no man on this cursed earth can touch what's mine. Because she is mine. She always was. And I don't care if the stars fall, or if the gods scream, or if fate tries to rewrite the story... This time, I'll cry for her. I'll bleed for her. I'll kneel for her if I have to. Because she's the war I'll never stop fighting. So, Ira... Be angry. Be distant. Be cruel if you must. But I'm coming to you. Just a few more hours, and you'll see... The man who once broke you... Will be the man who worships your soul like it's the only truth that ever mattered. And I promise... You will love me. Even if it starts with hate. Even if I have to burn myself to light your way. Because what is mine... Will be mine...

When Villian Falls In Love by Angel_writes72

If you're looking for flowers, sunshine, and forgiveness-close this book. This is fire. This is blood. This is love... born in the dark. ................ She wasn't meant to survive him. He wasn't meant to feel. But the devil fell in love-and that ruined everything. ................... Trigger Warning: This story contains possessive villains, forced proximity, psychological obsession, morally grey trauma, and twisted romance. This is not a love story. This is a warning. ..... Enter if you dare. This is not a fairy tale. This is a horror story with kisses that feel like knives. ....... He pulled out the black handkerchief, soaked in something sharp and chemical. She struggled violently.. He leaned in, whisper brushing her ear. "Par abhi to khel shuru hi hua hai...emerald..." He chuckled, dark and slow, then shoved it against her mouth. Her scream died instantly. Her legs jerked, then went slack. He caught her again-like a lover. As her eyes rolled back, his lips brushed her ear. "Tum meri thi, Isha. Pehle bhi. Ab bhi. Sirf tumhein yaad nahin." ..................

Live For It by LyEr7107

He seemed like the devil. He was evil. Cruel. She was always portrayed as a weapon. A tool. An occasional use. One wrong turn -literally- and everything changes. What happens when she finally decides to stand up for herself? The once known 'shy' assassin is now a runaway killer. Will she be able to protect the people she loves while fighting for her title? That arrogant and dangerous man, Zion Armani, who has a past trailing to hers...They meet again. Forgiveness is a difficult concept. Two broken souls from two different sides. Many failed attempts, many murderous frenzies, and many unretrievable mistakes. Her concept of life is far-fetched compared to others, one of the many things that makes her so human and so real, even if she was taught to refuse it. Could she battle the wars in the underground world while an addicting man fought against her? A chase? Not necessarily. Will she find a reason to keep going? Will Zhara Di Maggio find something --or someone-- to believe in? Will the Golden Raven prove her fate wrong and find her own reason to live? ~~~ Zion Armani, even the darkest hide from his shadows. Zhara Di Maggio, the only brightness left. "You know how to live, you're just too scared to do it."

Outlaw | 18+ by devilseyez

READ TRIGGER WARNINGS! In a world where power is the ultimate weapon and betrayal is currency, the line between hero and villain doesn't just blur... it shatters. She's the woman you're warned about. She's selfish and deadly, you don't see her until you feel the knife in your back. He's the man everyone fears. He's cold-blooded and dark, the embodiment of vengeance in an expensive suit. They should have destroyed each other. But instead, they made a deal. She's playing a game with no rules. He's rewriting them as he goes. Together, they're a storm no one can outrun. Loyalties are broken, alliances burned, and blood spills in their wake. But when the smoke clears, only one thing remains certain, trusting the devil doesn't make you safe... It makes you just like him. She's the sinner. He's the executioner. And in their obsession, no one gets out alive. Some stories don't have heroes. Some don't need them. This is theirs. Outlaw - where survival isn't enough, and obsession is the only law.

DREAMETTE 2 The Perfect Date Is Dead by AxelOfGalloway

Cinematic Thriller Saga • Horror Mystery • Cyber-Noir Themes: Exploitation, identity, found family, rebellion, the creation of monsters, the corruption of systems. Behind the neon glow of Southeast Asia lies a secret empire built on beauty, obedience, and silence. Dreamette, the world's most mysterious idol brand, hides its darkest truths behind masks, myth making, and vanished girls. Across seven books, the Dreamette Saga follows the people who refuse to look away, a dying man chasing redemption, a woman determined to rewrite her fate, a group of teens dragged into a nightmare through the glowing screen of the internet, and the survivors who rise to become rebels, mothers, fugitives, and warriors. From alleyways in Manila to the deepest corners of the web, from hidden backrooms to full-scale uprisings, their stories collide in a battle between humanity and the machinery that feeds on it. As Dreamette rises and falls, one truth remains: The scariest monsters are not the ones who wear masks, but the ones who pay to keep them on.

You V.S. Mafia by scaryberry123

[COMPLETED] "Shoot," Joey mumbles, letting out a string of profanities under his breath. We turn around to find a group of men, all with guns, standing where we just came from, and they look pissed... probably because they were forced to run through this tunnel after us. "Thought you could get away, didn't you?" The man who I saw before asks. His husky voice booms in the hollow tunnel, reverberating off of the dirt walls. His voice sounds familiar, and a realization strikes me. It sounds like the man from my dream. I remember him holding a gun and wearing a blue suit, smiling evilly at me. "Leave us alone," Joey says, sounding dangerous and snapping me out of my thoughts. The levity of the situation hits-we need to get out of here. I look around for a route of escape and thankfully I see a light, literally, at the end of the second tunnel. I let out a small, almost inaudible, gasp and nudge Joey. He looks at me and I subtly gesture with my head to the second tunnel. He glances at it and immediately we are on the same page. His jaw sets and he looks at the group. The man speaks up again, chuckling darkly-a sound I will never forget and will be permanently etched into my brain, "You can thank your father for starting this mess." -------------------------- Liza was a normal teenaged girl, living the average life that an eighteen year old girl should be living. She had good friends, good grades, a happy family, a loving boyfriend, and an overall content life, seemingly having everything a person could ask for. However, when she somehow gets thrown into the mix and is in the crossfires of a brutal mafia war that she has no business being a part of, things spiral out of control and she has to do whatever it takes to regain her freedom. In this hectic adventure of gun fights, torture, bank robbing and intimidating mafia men, Liza has to face it all, putting her average life on the line in order to defeat the bad guys and go back to her normal way of living.
