Romance
Reuben Williams, a quiet, and emotionally retrained 18-year-old college kid with BPD, who begins therapy with 27-year-old Dr. Ciera Valé, a seasoned, emotionally detached trauma psychologist known for her cool composure and professional rigor. What begins as a standard therapeutic relationship slowly shifts as deep emotional vulnerability gives way to unexpected intimacy. As Reuben reveals the raw truths of his past, Dr. Ciera Valé finds herself drawn to him; not only as a healer, but as a woman confronting her own buried longings. Their sessions blur the lines between professional care and personal connection, culminating in a sexual relationship that both liberates and destabilizes them. As the story unfolds, both characters grapple with the consequences of their actions ethically, emotionally, and professionally. Is their connection a manifestation of healing or something more?

Emil Robertson is a little special with emphasis on the "little." He's twenty-two years old and has a unique family situation. "Unique" doesn't always mean "good," and it certainly does not hold positive connotations for Emil's situation. But he's got an amazing big sister and good parents that take care of him. Or at least, that's what Emil forced himself to believe about his parents for years until his sister brought home a man who becomes his savior. And that man will help Emil become more mentally stable with being the guiding hand in his life as well as becoming the love of his life and vice versa. ________________ WARNINGS: Abuse (not perpetuated by the main characters) Child abuse (mentions) Kidnapping - attempted and successful (not perpetuated by the main characters) Psychological problems PTSD and general trauma Age-regression Daddy Dom/Little Boy (DDLB) Dominant/Submissive Good things: Overcoming mental health issues Fluffy gay romance Emotional healing Sweet friendships New family members A little smut Side note: This story does not sexualize real littles. There is romance and smut, but it's between two adults with Emil in his adult mind. There is usage of "Daddy" and "Baby" in a few hot scenes until later in the book, but you will be able to recognize whenever Emil has mentally age-regressed. And he's not ever that way when he's doing naughty things with his lover/daddy dominant. ________________ I've been working on this story since very late 2018 and now I can start posting it! :3 The original teddy bear image is not mine, but it's copyright-free. Even so, I manipulated the image into a cover format and edited it. Please do not steal my hard efforts with making this cover. I can direct you to the original image, so just PM me if you want it. Stealing is not cool, after all. 3: Best tag rankings out of a 1000+ stories: #1 in "therapist" (2/25/2023) #2 in "littleboy" (10/15/2022) #2 in "therapy" (8/7/2023)
