"What I'm tryna say here, is that it don't matter what you really done: London thinks you're capable of doin' the unthinkable.
"And frankly, Dexter, you're capable of more than you appear to think."

Corruption, spite and deceit. These tossed Dexter Gray within their web throughout his childhood. They nibbled and clawed apart his skin with a carcinogenic intention, tearing all he cared for from his fingers and attempting to devour it.
Years would pass. Slowly he convinced himself he'd shaken off the last of the venom stuck to him. He built himself a life he grew to adore: a home, a marriage, a family.
Until one day. One day in which he's met with the familiar sight of police at his door, and he finds everything he spent the last ten years protecting is called into question.

MATEO || bxb
It only took one summer to change everything. Now Camden is just trying his best to carry on with life like normal, but that's a little tricky when his memories keep haunting and some nights are so bad that sleep evades him completely. He can't even imagine how much worse it would have been if Mateo hadn't been there. But that was the summer before and Mateo's been gone for the whole year since. What happens when Mateo comes home, and how will Cam ever face him again? ___ 'He looked mostly the same as last summer, older maybe, definitely more tanned. He'd grown his hair out a little longer, so it hung lower in his eyes now. I'd seen him post a picture with his hair like that a few months ago and decided to grow mine out too. I wonder when he looked at me, did he see me as I am now, or did he see me as I was then, that night?' ___ TW: sexual assaultComplete
His Bride
{BoyxBoy} "Well I need a wife, if you haven't noticed a wedding is supposed to take PLACE!!" Gustavo yelled making me shrink in fear. He's one scary dude. "Where are we going to get a bride?, It's late" his mother said trying to reason with him. His eyes roamed around the room before it landed on me. "What about him?" Gustavo suggested, his eyes boring into mine, making me shrink a little with fear and discomfort. I wasn't scared of him, it was just that I'm naturally a shy person, so obviously someone who was oozing with such aura would make me panic a bit. "He looks just like his sister, the same skin colour, his hair is shorter but we can work with it" he was talking to himself now, but his gaze was still fixed on me. His eyes then darted to his mother who looked the same as my mother, stressed. "Put him In her wedding clothes, mother go tell the priest not to add the kissing part, I want the wedding short and fast" he said before leaving the room.

Untangled
I slammed the table loudly and groaned out of pain. Not only the pain from the headache I was having right now. But also from the memories flooding my mind as well. I was slowly remembering everything. "I hate you!"I shouted seething from anger as I gritted my teeth to stop myself from attacking him. He was really tempting me and I knew it wouldn't be long before I would attempt to pull his face apart and rip out his throat. "Not more than I hate you Alexander Norman. Trust me." He said emphasising on the name that seemed so foreign to me yet that was my real name. He had a mischievous glint in his eyes as he seemed to enjoy the internal battle I was having in my head. " So back to my story-" He drawled in an attempt to irritate me before he continued. " Your mother married me because I had her secret and I threatened to ruin her with it if she did not give in to my wishes." "And what exactly was her secret?" I asked. "She killed your father." He responded and glanced at me probably waiting for my reaction at what he just said. ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● Scandals brew in the air once more.

The Doctor Of East Hadena [MXM] [SERIAL KILLER] ✓
Camilo Carter is The Doctor of East Hadena, one of the deadliest serial killers the city has ever seen. He's excellent at what he does, with no signs of getting caught any time soon. He thinks he has it all figured out, sees himself as almost bulletproof. He's never slipped up, never come remotely close. Camilo is untouchable. That is, until the really hot lead investigator of his case moves in across the hall. ~ "Perfect," he tells me, tone low. My heart practically stops beating in my chest. "I meant you're perfect." Decari doesn't know. He has no idea how untrue that is, how far off. He doesn't know, and he can't know. He can't ever fucking find out! He just can't, and I'm terrified that if I let this continue any longer... I'll get too comfortable. Too secure. I can never allow myself to doubt his loyalty to the law. If I'm to give in, I need to promise myself that. I take a step forward, and we're so close like this that I can feel the heat of his body. I finally move my gaze up to his eyes, which look a lot darker like this. He is entirely focused on me, and I don't think he even realizes he does it, but his hand drops from my face and finds its way to my hip a moment later. The world seems to disappear as I look into his eyes, deciding to warn him one last time. "You'll change your mind."

Resurgence
WORK IN PROGRESS‼️ ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── There was no noise; I was at peace, and ironically, the stone-cold pavement never seemed warmer as my blood oozed out of me and around me like a painted canvas. I was slowly losing consciousness, but my mind never seemed happier now that I was dying. The white walls with big bright lights did not resemble heaven; in fact, it was quite the opposite. I thought I had died. When I came to, I found myself in this strange place, disoriented and confused. I looked around and found another five pairs of eyes looking at me with the same emotion swirling in their gaze. Now, 15 years later, I train with these girls. Our makers take care of us, feed us, and make sure we are clean, healthy, and fit. Some of us never had that; that's probably why it took so long for us to realize we were being used. The dirty work they made us do, none of us questioned it. How could we when we were taken off the streets? For a chance at normalcy, we settled for anything, even if that meant blurring the lines of right and wrong. After a mission gone haywire, we started noticing, and now we strike back to take our voices and reclaim the power that was used on us as a way to control us. After all, they are the ones who trained us; we are just returning our long-overdue favour. ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Rankings : Featured in Mystery-thriller #5 in Mystery-thriller on 7/12/24
Wish's Desire
Wish knew the rules of survival better than most-learned them young, with bloodied knuckles and empty stomach nights in Midas's unforgiving underbelly. The city was a glittering lie, its promise of fortune thin as a hologram, reality lurking beneath: grime, corruption, and the unspoken brutality of those who wielded power like a blade. He'd climbed from gutter rat to Desire's most coveted possession, a sleek predator hidden behind the polished facade of a high-priced escort. At Desire, he learned the art of manipulation, sharpened his charm into a weapon, and turned his own body into a carefully constructed illusion, perfected to draw out the dark desires of Midas's elite. Now, those same skills were keeping him alive-but barely. Hunted by government agents and Solstice Corp enforcers, Wish was caught in a tightening noose, each breath of Midas's polluted air heavy with paranoia. Corporate mercenaries stalked his every move, and the gleaming towers around him felt more like prison walls, closing in inch by inch. Yet Wish thrived in chaos, his heartbeat strongest in the storm's center. Survival was never enough; he needed answers-why was he the target? What sinister game was playing out behind the corporate curtains? His only path was straight through the web of secrets choking the city. Trust was scarce currency, allies fleeting shadows. He would leverage every trick he'd ever learned, twist every whispered confession collected in Desire's velvet rooms into weapons of his own. The hunted would become the hunter. Wish knew the odds were steep, but then again, danger was his oldest friend. And in Midas, beneath neon-lit skies bleeding into smog-choked streets, the only way out was to fight-not just to live, but to tear down the gilded cage around him, piece by corrupted piece.Complete
