FIRES AT THE EDGE
"Some fires don't destroy you. They reveal you." Jessica, works at a blood center where every day feels the same-until Nick walks in. He's younger, quiet, and carries a darkness that feels both dangerous and magnetic. What begins as curiosity turns into obsession, and what feels like safety slowly twists into something else entirely. Nick sees her in ways no one else does. Her patterns. Her fears. The way she hides her loneliness behind politeness. His mind is chaos-psychopathy, BPD, OCD-but Jessica becomes his anchor, the one person who makes the noise stop. As their connection deepens, obsession burns slow but steady. Boundaries blur. Control shifts. Every glance becomes a confession, every silence a war. And when the line between love and madness disappears, Jessica must face the truth: some connections are fated to consume.Complete

Bruised Hearts and Silent War
They say college is where you find yourself. I didn't come to find anything. I came to hide. Arina Blake learned that silence can be armor, and disappearing is safer than being seen. She wants a quiet life, invisible footsteps, and no eyes on her. Especially not his. Ethan Hayes doesn't chase people. They move when he looks at them - fear, respect, survival. His world is shadows, control, secrets no one survives getting close to. Until her. She bumped into him and didn't flinch. She talked back. She didn't look away. Now he can't stop watching. And she can't stop wondering why the most dangerous boy on campus looks at her like she's the only thing he's decided to want. He shouldn't want her. She shouldn't go near him. But tragedies recognize each other - and broken souls bleed in the same color. This isn't a love story. This is a collision. And collisions always leave scars. But sometimes... they remake you. "You don't get to walk away from me." His voice didn't rise. It didn't need to. "Not after looking at me like you wanted to run... and wanted me to follow."
