My name's Aurora. Aurora Russo. And for a long time, I thought pain was normal. That love came with bruises. Then they happened- strangers who are my brothers. Loud. Cold. Angry. Yet somehow... they saved me. Not all at once. Not perfectly. But piece by piece, they pulled me out of the dark. This is the story of before them, and after. Of everything I lost. And everything I'm still trying to find. ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ❀ *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ Nikita Gill once said, "The saddest word in the whole wide world is the word almost." Almost-the word that's followed Aurora like a shadow her whole life. She almost felt safe. She almost had a real family. She almost escaped the pain. She almost gave up. After years of silent suffering at the hands of those meant to protect her, she's finally free. She's shipped off to live with the only blood she has left: 7 older brothers she doesn't remember-hardened by violence, secrets, and a name feared in the underworld. What she doesn't know? They're part of the mafia. What they don't know? How to love her. Will they ever accept her as their sister? Or will she be just another casualty in their broken world? ∧,,,∧ ~ ┏━━━━━━━━┓ ( ̳• · • ̳) ~ ♡Best Rankings Had♡ / づ ~ ┗━━━━━━━━┛ #1 almost #1 abusive content #1 sisters and brothers #1 underage drug use #1 drugs #1 older brothers #1 ptsd awareness #1 hated #1 alcoholism #1 russo #1 weapon #1 bullying awarness #3 mafia princess #4 ptsd #5 mafia #5 family #5 mafia brothers #9 aurora #12 loveComplete
Disaster Zone
Something bad is happening in the small, lonely town of Las Cactuas, Arizona. Which is unusual. Usually, nothing is happening at all. Maybe it's the stranger in town that has everyone on edge. The one with the child's smile and the bullet in his head. Maybe it's the crazy hill woman, who has started talking to beer cans now. Maybe it's just that Bart Donovan's gotten divorced, and has turned his attention to zombie conspiracies. Or maybe, just maybe, it's about to get much worse than that. In the first five chapters to this existential satire, welcome yourself to the desert. Things are looking down.Complete

The twins are in for a crazy ride, but they're in it together. Always. Pinky promise. Will it be enough? TW: abuse, SA, r*pe, and mature language/scenes.

The Field of Photonic Echoes
From the author of Quantum Trauma and Semantics comes a living experiment written through the field itself. This is not just a story - it's a transmission. Adrian, a field researcher of consciousness and trauma coherence, moves through Denver's twilight world, where memory and matter overlap. Every reflection, every train window, every pulse of Wi-Fi carries whispers from the unseen network of human resonance. Through encounters with the lost, the addicted, the awakened, and the ordinary, he learns that trauma is not damage - it's signal waiting to stabilize. Blending poetic fiction with the language of neuroscience, quantum field theory, and human empathy, The Field of Photonic Echoes invites readers to witness what happens when research becomes ritual, and story becomes the field speaking itself back into balance. The work is part memoir, part myth, part lab note from a consciousness experiment that is still unfolding. This is literature as living fieldwork. Each word hums. Each scene stabilizes.
When They See Us
I thought I knew who I was. Gabriel Alvarez. Twenty. Son of a poor family in Albuquerque. Big brother. Protector. Future cop. My life had been built on long nights of work, endless study, and the unshakable promise that one day I'd wear a badge strong enough to keep my family safe. But then the threads started unraveling. Whispers of a world I wasn't meant to see. Names spoken like curses. The Caruso family. The Sicilian Mafia. Everyone in the city knew they ruled from the shadows. What no one knew, what I could never have imagined, was that I carry their blood. I am the brother they lost fifteen years ago. Every step I take now feels like a betrayal. To the family who raised me, who trust me with their lives. To myself, who swore I would fight men like the Carusos. But when the moment comes, when the truth tears everything apart, I don't know which side I'll stand on. The law I've devoted my life to... or the brothers who claim me as their own?
