The Bright Room | 18+
If saving your life caused you more suffering than dying ever could, would you thank the man who did it, or would you kill him? Samantha is brilliant, driven, and running on empty. A visit to her old best friend was supposed to be a reset. Instead, one night tears her life apart and leaves her one breath from death. The man who saves her has his own methods, a cure much worse than the disease. Cleansed with light, stripped of everything, Sam loses herself layer by agonizing layer, and wakes up in the Bright Room as a mystery: to her captor, and to herself. The only thing she's sure she's not is a victim. But reclaiming her life means dealing with a captor whose ruthlessness is matched only by how broken he is; a debt to him she can't balance against the trauma he caused; and a thing waking inside her that may be more dangerous than the infection itself. What develops between them is Beauty and the Beast, followed to its natural conclusion: two beasts, containing each other.Complete

He's not sure he remembers how to hold anything without breaking it. A slow slow-burn starting in Season 2. Featuring found family, emotional healing, and a young girl who doesn't stop asking questions. Note: This fic contains violence, gore, and themes consistent with The Walking Dead. I'll do my best to include specific warnings at the start of chapters that contain more sensitive material. I do not own The Walking Dead or its characters. This story, including Ivy, Meg, and this interpretation of Y/n, are my original creations. Most of the images I use are AI-generated. 2025 Previously ranked: #1- normanreedus #1-hurt-comfort #1-Daryldixonxreader #1-thewalkingdead #1-readerinsert![The Sound Of You [YINWAR]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/401131430-256-k103522.jpg)
The Sound Of You [YINWAR]
When 911 dispatcher Yin answers a call, he expects an emergency. Instead, he finds War-hiding from his abusive boyfriend, not asking for rescue, but for a voice gentle enough to keep him alive. What begins as a lifeline, becomes something else neither of them can let go of. A story of survival, about scars, about hope, about trust. About a gentle soul kept in the dark, daring to reach out for the light. Updates every Wednesdays and Saturdays! PLEASE READ: TW: This story portrays themes of domestic violence and emotional abuse (not between the mains), which may be triggering for some readers. I wrote it with care, but please prioritize your well-being and step away if it feels too heavy. And if you are struggling or know someone who is, I want you to remember-you are never alone, and help is out there. Remember I don't own the characters, and I'm not pushing any narratives onto anybody. As always, this is just for our enjoyment!Complete![[Eddsworld] Txl au (English version)](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/332716180-256-k495629.jpg)

Protettore.
"P-please. I'll be good. Please don't hurt me." I begged him, wrapping my arms around myself, as though that would keep me from completely falling apart. "I'm not going to hurt you princess." He told me comfortingly. His hand raised to my face and his fingers ghosted over the cut from uncle's ring. "I'm not going to let anyone hurt you ever again. My name is Lorenzo Conti. Will you tell me your name?" Nora Phillips didn't think she would ever escape her uncle's grasp. Little did she know knights in shining armor could come in the form of mafia bosses. As soon as Lorenzo saw her, he knew he had to save her, but can he protect her from everything? Can he be her protettore? Rated M for language and violence.
