Delilah Richardson first met famous rockstar Keiran Michaels as a teen, and she immediately fell in love with him. When she finally gets the opportunity to see his band, Broken Souls, in concert years later, she never imagines that a tornado would hit, or that it would end up changing her life.

 Trapped together in a small corner of the caved-in basement, with Keiran badly wounded, the two of them find that there is more to their relationship than just celebrity and fan. There's a history there, one that brings them closer but also brings to light the impossibility of them ever being together.

Keiran is already in a relationship. Though his abusive girlfriend makes life hell for him, to leave her would be to give up Broken Souls and flush his entire career. But to keep the band, and thus, his girlfriend from gelding him, would be to give up Delilah and the only source of true love he's ever found. 

It's a heck of a choice to make, one that might ultimately cost him his life in the end.All Rights Reserved

"Behind Closed Doors" by ariesss1794

Kayla's life seems perfect on the outside-she's a 23-year-old college student with big dreams, a tight circle of friends, and two protective older brothers. She's always been independent, handling her own business and staying focused on her goals. But when she meets Devin, a smooth-talking guy who seems to have it all together, everything starts to change. At first, Devin is everything Kayla could want-charming, attentive, and always making her feel special. But as their relationship deepens, his true colors begin to show. Devin's charm turns to control, and his love turns into something darker. Trapped in an abusive relationship that no one knows about, Kayla finds herself isolated, scared, and unsure of how to escape. With her best friend Lena starting to notice the changes in her, and her brothers Isaiah and Jordan growing suspicious, Kayla struggles to keep her secret while searching for a way out. But leaving Devin isn't as simple as it seems. The deeper she falls into his manipulation, the harder it becomes to break free. In this short, gripping urban drama, Kayla's strength is tested as she fights to reclaim her life and rediscover her voice. Set against the backdrop of city life, "Behind Closed Doors" is a powerful story about love, control, and survival, written in raw, unfiltered Ebonics that captures the realities of living in the streets. Will Kayla find the courage to escape, or will Devin's hold on her drag her down for good?

Falling Forward ✔ by ShatteredSparrow

Three things I live my life by: parties, puck bunnies, and playing my heart out on the ice. Becoming the new forward for the Cincinnati Cyclones means meeting new people, exploring a new city, and finding new things to occupy my time. Or, rather, people to keep me occupied. Falling for a girl never even entered the equation. Until I met Reece Reagan. Scars, tattoos, and a dark past all wrapped up in a neat little package of blonde hair and bewitching brown eyes. She's stronger than anyone I've ever met; makes my reasons for staying away from relationships seem shallow and insignificant. The emotions she triggers make me feel alive in ways I didn't know were possible. If only I could convince her of that. Because, without her, my world just might shatter. ** Three things hold my life together: Sharpies, sweatshirts, and scars that remind me I'm alive. Within the comfort of the Anarchy Immortal Café, I draw out the darkness that haunts me. Expel my demons and exorcise the pain from my heart. I keep to myself, resigned to the fact that while people come and go, they never stay once they've figured me out. Having a rough and tumble hockey player fixate on me was the last thing I expected. Bastien Killfeather is charismatic, sexy, and irritatingly determined to get my attention. Worse, he makes the fear I've coddled for so long feel like chains instead of armor. The feelings he invokes are terrifying. They also set me ablaze in ways I no longer thought myself capable of. Bringing color to an existence so confined in black and white. The problem is, I can't let him know that. Or else he'll bring my world crashing down. ** Co-written with WriterNat_A. Trigger warnings: domestic violence, self-harm, flashbacks of abuse.

Whisper in the Wind ▸ Tyler Owens by ProudToBeSarcastic

Once, long ago, Zahra Howard liked to consider herself fearless. Whether it was a car going faster than humanly possible, illegally racing down the rural roads of Oklahoma, or even chasing its tornadoes. She never seemed to fear anything. Until she did... And after that, she promised she'd never go back. She promised she'd never get that close again. Until, five years later, while she's busy sticking to that promise with determination, the past comes knocking on her door, asking for a favor. She could say no. It would be easy to say no. But the thing about her was once she cared; it was hard to let go. Even if she tried. And somehow, that made saying no harder than the alternative. Which is how she broke her own promise. How she ended up back here in Oklahoma, and right during an unprecedented tornado outbreak ravaging the place she'd once called home. ----- Twisters (2024) Twist in the Tale Series - Standalone Tyler Owens x OC

Six degrees of separation-ENG by NotFreddie

It's not easy to erase Harry from his life, certainly not when they live in the same building and they still happen to meet by chance in the hall or the elevator. Seeing him again always has the same effect on Louis, just like the very first time they met: a warm and enveloping grip on his stomach, a tingling feeling of electricity under his skin, a thousand heartbeats per minute. He will never be able to shake off the emotion that that face, those eyes and that smile cause him, a total upheaval: Louis always thinks about Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler, of the destructive, fully devouring love, toxic for those who live it depicted in its lyrics. Like Catherine and Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights, like Harry and he in real life.
