"You're not listening to me!" Politics is a hard game. That was a given fact. The DA residing over the case was an absolute... Well, there isn't a pleasant word for it, and they did say that if you didn't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
But this was his career... No, his life as he knew it, that was at stake here. He was a smothered flame in the eye of the court - another bad cop about to be taken out by the system they were supposed to be serving. But he was innocent, and that old rule of 'innocent until proven guilty' wasn't be practiced, and it was way too obvious to just shrug it off.
Yes, Mac Taylor could take care of himself. No, she wasn't giving him a choice this time. He'd already given himself a harder time than the rest of the world was giving him and the first thing he needed to do was stop digging. If he wouldn't do it by himself, she would have to do it for him. If he wouldn't listen, and the City wouldn't listen... She'd have to make them. She wasn't letting him go down for a murder that wasn't committed in the first place.
Dobson jumped. That was Mac's word. Sure, it was circumstantial at best, but couldn't she say the same to them? As far as Stella was concerned, it was circumstantial against circumstantial, and no one would let him tell his story straight. They always had to cut in. That was a system she wasn't going to tolerate.

[COMPLETED] "Love can be cruel," he mutters. "I thought it would be the reason I would propose, but it's not. Love never wins, does it?" Cruel. Devious. Twisted love. Love can play games, and we just happen to be the pawns. We play our moves strategically like a game of chess, until it comes to this moment. We can let the world separate us, stop us, pull us apart. We can let this old love between us fray at the edges. If love is a game, then Cato and I are destined to lose. "You're right," I whisper. "But love still exists. Even for a moment." His knuckles brush against my waist, before he decides to pull me flush against his chest. We're close, and burning, and his breath feels like electricity on my skin. In his green eyes, I see remnants of the heavens, the northern auroras flashing illuminating inside of them. He holds a new world inside of him, and I long to be the first to discover it. Cato's nose brushes up against mine, the space between our mouths fading like stardust. "Even for a moment," he murmurs my words against me.

Face Your Destiny | Tangled Fanfic
Just about 1 year after his fall and arrest, Varian alone in the darkness of his cell, longs for one thing. Meanwhile Cassandra's now endless power rises up, as she swears revenge on Rapunzel for what happened so long ago. Note: This is based off Tangled the Series which if you don't watch it you will be very confused. Sorry this thing isn't very good, it's my first fanfic. If you do somehow end up reading it, and wether you hate it or kinda like it, please tell me what you think! Cover art is not by me! (Couldn't read the name but it started with Cathy I think) Edit: it is by @codynaomiswireart on tumblr! I am so sorry for stealing this in the past, if you somehow see this do forgive me! ~ 2025 Edit: Wow, it has been a hot minute. The series finale just hit its fifth anniversary, and as I was thinking about it I remembered this fanfic existed. ...this is certainly a piece of work, lmao. Between the writing style being very reflective of my age to the self-deprecating comments I wrote about my own writing to the stolen cover art (my sincerest apologies for that, I am going to change it but the original is by @codynaomiswireart on tumblr) it is beyond me what was going through my head when I wrote it. It is for that reason I found myself shocked to see it with thousands of reads and comments, which thank you for by the way, I did not realize there was this much demand for moon Varian lol. For now I intend on leaving it up solely because it is hilarious to me and a good reflection on what was at the time a very important show to me. In the present, a lot of my love for the series has been somewhat diminished, due to many factors. But I won't deny what it did for me then, as I have moved onto, what I am hopeful to view as far greater artistic pursuits lol. In the meantime, thanks for reading all this, and I hope whoever is still reading Varian fanfiction in this economy is living their best life. Thanks a ton, MiloComplete

Charming Devil
"Walk into my parlor," said the spider to the fly. "'Tis the prettiest little parlor that you ever did spy." He was the villain. She was the hero. That was all Agent Hayes ever needed to get the job done. Born into a legacy of national service, codes, rules, and laws were etched into her very bones. Right and wrong might be matters of perception, but the law was absolute. The law was order. Yet, with every brush against the elusive criminal, her once-unshakable worldview trembled. Deception was second nature to her in undercover work. She had dismantled empires of evil with nothing more than a smile. Veterans of crime had been reduced to nothing, undone by their failure to see her coming. But this time, in a twisted game of I-spy, even with all her skills and strategies, she still couldn't catch the fly. She set out to unravel a single thread of lies, but for each one she pulled, ten more tangled knots appeared. The deeper she delved, the darker and more treacherous the path became-until, in a moment of piercing clarity, she realized the truth: she wasn't the one spinning the web. She wasn't the spider at all. She was the fly. And he was the Spider King.

She believed the best way to live life is to make the most out of it, even if by doing so meant you were tip-toeing the thin line between legal and illegal. That was actually the clear distinction between her and her twin brother, Scott McCall. Not that Scott didn't go on his fair share of risky trips, but that was mostly his best friend dragging him to do that. Stella knew Scott sought adventure, but he was too much of a chicken. But, in all fairness, his chicken-ness did help her out more times than she could count. The one thing she could not understand, though, is how did his chicken motor not go off when his best friend, Stiles Stilinski, came to their house with news of half a body found in the woods. In the end, they all should have listened to Stella about not going. Because that little midnight trip in the woods to fulfil their morbid interest ended up with Scott getting bit, and not just by any animal, no. By a werewolf.

I wrote this when I was 16 give me a break. TAKEN SERIES: BOOK ONE TW: kidnapping, manipulation, toxic/abusive relationship, violence, death, grief, self-harm, suicidal thoughts/attempts, sexual assault, non-consensual sexual content, alcoholism, stockholm syndrome, switching partners, etc. Do not read this story if you get triggered easily. If you decide to continue, that's your own choice. This story will portray a BDSM relationship, NOT counting the toxicity and genuine abuse that goes on throughout it. Do not comment anything unnecessarily judgmental, especially if you don't know what you're talking about.
