Mercy is a demon, and when you live in Rickton, that makes you a tool for the hand of the Father. Through his guidance, you are purified, and eventually your service will reap the ultimate reward- Heaven.
Mercy hasn't believed that for a couple years now, but there's not much it can do about the increasing number of executions the Father is performing beyond town walls or the unwanted attention beginning to fall at its feet.
Not before it meets Pat and Jim, a pair of killers who could be Mercy's key to removing the Father... so long as it doesn't turn them in for their crimes.
As tension begins to build both in the town and in Mercy's life itself, though, how long will it be able to keep Reggie and Ernie in line, and even more, will it even want to?

Beneath the Noise 1 - [MXM] ✔️
(Completed) Brothers of the Empire Series I've never been entirely sure where I belong. Most days, I exist somewhere between wanting to fit in and wanting to disappear altogether. The world moves too fast, too loud, too bright, too full of unspoken rules that everyone seems to understand but me. So I stand there, another face in the crowd, pretending the thrum of the music doesn't make my chest ache, pretending the lights don't burn when they hit just right. But that night wasn't about pretending. It wasn't loud or dramatic. It was quiet, a small break in the noise where something inside me shifted. Life never warns you when someone important is about to enter your world. They simply appear, slipping into your orbit so softly you almost miss it. That's how it began for me. One night. One unexpected moment. And the start of everything that followed. --------------------------- Author's Notes This story is told in short chapters, with many moments that build gradually over time. While it can be read as a standalone, it serves as the first book in the Brothers of the Empire series, offering deeper insight into the characters, their histories, and the overarching timeline. The series consists of seven books, each to be released only after the previous installment is completed. 🏆 Rankings & Achievements 🥇 #1 (Slow) - 09/07/2026 🥇 #1 (Family) - 08/04/2026 🥇 #1 (Spanish) - 06/01/2026 🥇 #1 (Mexico) - 09/11/2025 🥇 #1 (Autism) - 12/11/2025 🥈 #1 (Burn) - 09/07/2026 🥉 #3 (Fast) - 09/07/2026 🥉 #3 (Mlm) - 10/02/2026 🥉 #3 (Burn) - 04/01/2026 #4 (Struggles) - 09/07/2026 #19 (BxB) - 29/10/2025Complete

Outlaw | 18+
READ TRIGGER WARNINGS! In a world where power is the ultimate weapon and betrayal is currency, the line between hero and villain doesn't just blur... it shatters. She's the woman you're warned about. She's selfish and deadly, you don't see her until you feel the knife in your back. He's the man everyone fears. He's cold-blooded and dark, the embodiment of vengeance in an expensive suit. They should have destroyed each other. But instead, they made a deal. She's playing a game with no rules. He's rewriting them as he goes. Together, they're a storm no one can outrun. Loyalties are broken, alliances burned, and blood spills in their wake. But when the smoke clears, only one thing remains certain, trusting the devil doesn't make you safe... It makes you just like him. She's the sinner. He's the executioner. And in their obsession, no one gets out alive. Some stories don't have heroes. Some don't need them. This is theirs. Outlaw - where survival isn't enough, and obsession is the only law.

Heaven
In Sina Noir's eyes, God isn't dead, but He should be. Working as a stripper, he's seen the godly turn into savages and knows that religion gets you nowhere. After years of self-imposed exile and drowning in alcohol and blood, Father Caleb Hill returns to civilization- sober and ready to face God again. His arrival in Heaven breathes life back into Saint Agatha's church after the passing of their previous priest. A chance encounter between the two men changes everything. But in Heaven, faith is a weapon, and loving someone of the same sex is a sin. Giving in to desire is deadly. Captivated by Father Caleb, Sina will do anything to win his affection-even risk his own life. When his need to save Sina becomes desire, Cal suppresses the way he feels in fear of his hateful congregation and of having his painful past repeat itself. +++++ Disclaimer for bad language and situations (such as drinking, drugs, violence, murder, smoking, trashy clubs, blood, homophobia, prejudice, etc.) and typical Christine darkness. There is NO: SA, suicide, gore. +++++ This is the new and much longer version of Heaven! Heaven is only available on Wattpad.Complete
'Broken Image' ♡ (MXM) ♡
(This is targeted for people 16+) "Same with hurting you. Or marking you.." He slid his arm gently down to his back, closing his hand around a bruise that lay on the hero's waist. The hero flinched at the action, still keeping his lips sealed. "I can be the only one capable of doing it.." "Your fucking crazy..." The hero sighed with a bit of fear hidden in his tone. The man smiled with the description, turning his head in the direction of Oxzy's ear, he spoke with a sweet voice. "I can make you go even crazier than me Ox..." ------- A hero and a villain in the same low-profile town, they battle. One protecting, one destroying. The town tries to break them apart, but instead... They grow closer. The hateful and spiteful relationship can only last for so long.
