Poco antes de su muerte, Lilith relata a un amigo su atribulada y fascinante vida: cómo, desde una difícil infancia, llegó a convertirse en una de las prostitutas más famosas de una París de los años '40.
Entraremos un mundo secreto dominando por las pasiones y sostenido por las apariencias, donde sensualidad y belleza no pueden separarse de la degradación y el sometimiento: un mundo de seducción, pasión, alcohol, drogas.

REDAMANCY ~ D.M
Lilith Hawthorn had long yearned to experience the kind of profound, unconditional love that dances through the pages of fairy tales, but as the years slipped by, her hope began to wane like the fading light at dusk. Living under the watchful eyes of those who sought to shape her every decision, she grew increasingly rebellious, her spirit yearning for freedom. From a young age, Lilith developed a distinctive worldview, one that was firmly rooted in her own beliefs and values, and these convictions proved resistant to the pressures of conformity that surrounded her. While her peers embraced societal expectations, she navigated life with an independent streak that often set her apart, straying far from the rigid norms imposed by her household. Common sense, it seemed, was a language she struggled to understand-what others deemed obvious often felt like an enigmatic puzzle to her. The world around her was a labyrinth of misconceptions and assumptions, leaving her to wander in search of something genuine, something that would provide the love and acceptance she so desperately craved. (I do NOT own any of the Harry Potter characters from the movies or books.)
Nuestro Si? Si.
Nuestro Sí? Sí. es una historia sobre el amor joven, el autodescubrimiento y los lazos familiares. Algunas historias de amor comienzan con un "sí", otras con incertidumbre, y algunas se escriben entre líneas de conversaciones nocturnas, miradas prolongadas y la silenciosa valentía de dos almas que buscan encontrarse. A través de mensajes llenos de risas, vulnerabilidad y revelaciones sinceras, Rafa de 22 años casi 23, que enfrenta las expectativas sociales y la homofobia internalizada-explora un romance reavivado con Martin, de 30 años recién cumplidos. Entre la paciencia tejida en el destino y una conexión tan profunda que convirtió cada amor pasado en un mero prólogo, su viaje se convierte en más que una historia de amor: es un camino hacia el autodescubrimiento, la fe y la aceptación de su verdadero ser. Porque hay amores que transforman, que desafían la duda y que enseñan que, a veces, lo más valioso es aquello que se construye con el tiempo. ¿Será su "sí" un destino escrito? ¿O se convertirá en un "qué hubiera sido" perdido en los ecos del tiempo y las circunstancias?

They fear us because we are different. They fear us because we have special powers, because the goddess gave us gifts. The goddess gave us these powers to protect the non-gifted. They don't care about that. They fear us because they think we will hurt them. They believe we are power hungry, the irony. They have hunted us for centuries now. Killing us because they are afraid. We just want to live out lives in peace. Why must there be a fear for people who are different? Why must there be such hate for people who just want to live their lives? My name is Lydia Martin. I fight for my freedom. This is my story. The story of how I fell in love with my target. The story of how I fell in love with the one man I wasn't supposed to fall in love with.Complete
Broken Radio | Alastor x Reader
"Well hello there." He says in his usual cheerful tone. "So you're the little demon that's been stepping in my territory for the past seven years." His voice becomes more sinister as he keeps speaking. I scoot back on the bed some more to create some distance between the two of us. "And what if I am?" "Well. That's not very nice." He says in a faux-nicety that makes it clear he's not going to play along. "I'm the radio demon, dear. You don't get to waltz into the pride ring and just start making noise on the radio. That's my job." ─── ☾ ⋆*･ﾟ:⋆*･ﾟ ─── (Y/N) was one of many VoxTek workers until Vox promoted her to be his assistant.

Our Secret To Keep.
A delayed flight. A stranger at a hotel bar. A one night stand. Stranded in New York for an extra night than planned due to a delayed flight, I needed to find a way to keep myself occupied, and I soon found that something. It was easy enough when the handsome stranger introduced himself to me as Kade. It has been a while since I have had a hot one-night stand, and he reminds me how fun it can be. There are no questions, expectations or reasons to see one another again. What I don't expect is our night together to come around and bite me in the ass. When I arrive at a family dinner with my parents and two older sisters to celebrate my return home to Scotland, he is sitting right there with them. Not only is he my father's new business partner, but he is my sister's blind date set up by my parents. We pretend to be strangers because things would become complicated if we didn't. No one ever needs to know about what happened between us. My dad would freak out if he found out about us because he is overly protective of me as the youngest, and with the age gap between Kade and me, my father wouldn't approve. My relationship with my older sister is already strained; I don't need to make things worse between us. Even though he doesn't seem interested in her and he tries his best to show that it could still make all hell break lose. My sister hates losing. She always gets what she wants. I should stay away from him, but it is easier said than done with the tension and chemistry between us, and we struggle to fight against it. No matter what happens, it needs to be our secret to keep.
Fawn ♡Alastor x Reader♡
"Radio Demon," I say while glaring harshly to the man across from me. "we have a deal." Just when you thought your life couldn't get any worse. You just had to go and make a deal with a demon who had claimed himself your friend. He even offered you a deal to get you out of your abusive household when you were younger. One you didn't take until you were actually out. But with every deal, there's a cost. One you didn't know would enslave you to the man you would dub a monster, even after he saved you. ❤️This story was made in 2022, it may not be accurate to the show, this Alastor is based on the one from the pilot❤️ __NOTES__ ⚠️THIS IS A STORY FOR MATURE AUDIENCES! 18+ ⚠️ ♡Reader at first will be a bit naive but will later become more feisty ♡Reader is female, she|her ♡Alastor will be called Radio for MANY chapters ♡Does not deal much with the Happy/Hazbin Hotel but will a bit later ♡abuse, cursing, smoking, drugs/alcohol, vulgar language/actions, sexual mentions ♡Since Al is ace there will be no sex, just fluff related stuff ♡Al will be slightly OC and slightly yandere ♥︎Art credit: @gpz666 on X/Twitter {I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS OR ARTS AT THE TOP OF THE CHAPTERS!
