tryst // h.s
(COMPLETED) One would say this is your typical love story, you know, best friends falling for each other, romance and all that rainbowy stuff, happily ever after. Sorry to break it down to you, it's not. This is a story in which, she, just like him, is a dreamer. They share the same passion, the same ambitions, the same competition, essentially the same dream. But those are not the only things they have in common. His mate is her brother. Her brother is his mate. There are a lot of love songs involved, as cliché as it may sound but what can you expect when you have two of the biggest pop stars in the whole world falling and fighting for one another. However, as I mentioned before, this is not your typical fairy tale. I mean, they have feelings, connection, emotions, pretty much they are perfect together.

Poisonus Love(Blackhat x Fem!Reader)
'No one talks about the blood and dirt underneath your fingernails when doing the right thing, which was always considered too hard to be done.' Y/n always fought for what felt right. Not for glory nor praise. And definitely not for any self-righteous, spotlight-hogging hero who always had people treating them like legends in a time of history. Life begins bringing reluctant alliances. Thankfully, Y/n learns important key details. One's she wished she had known before meeting a powerful, demonic cryptid. Chaos dressed with elegance, he- a monster content with watching the world cower before him- recognized a familiar fire in Y/ns eyes. They'd bring a messy rivalry with many kinds of wrong she wanted to avoid. Struggling to stay away from a strange mark upon her, he felt a pull that only grew more as time moved on. Something within the chaos that both adored began pulling them closer. Close enough that flirtation would meet fury, and morality would bend for the other's sake. Both couldn't know just how hard it really was to avoid falling. "That's one badass lasso wonder man!" "For a dead girl, you don't look too bad without much on." Dying in such a way where her body deems it almost impossible to pull her soul back. Even then, she'd come back, yet feel the full force of being forced back into her broken vessel. "She's only telling us this because it's fanfiction...!~" WELCOME TO POISONOUS LOVE!!! SOMETHING I'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR OVER A YEAR(Yet haven't uploaded a damn thing about- UNTIL NOWWW) TW- violence, blood, death, suicide, contains (probably) smut, lemon, lime- all of that.
