When Sam leaves behind the life that rejected him, all he wants is a quiet new beginning in a strange city. But one mistake on his first night walking into the wrong apartment throws him into the path of a neighbor who is anything but ordinary.
Cold, unreadable, and guarded, the stranger across the hall seems carved from shadows. Yet something in his eyes lingers with unspoken pain, something Sam can't ignore no matter how many times he's pushed away.
Drawn together by chance and bound by secrets they'd rather keep buried, Sam and his mysterious neighbor find themselves circling one another in a fragile balance of distance and desire. As walls begin to crack and pasts refuse to stay hidden, both will be forced to choose: stay locked inside their scars, or risk everything for the one person who just might understand.
A story of broken pasts, fragile trust, and the kind of love that takes time to earn, Sam is a slow-burn romance where light meets darkness and neither walks away unchanged.

Waning Crescent (manxman) [COMPLETE]
Nox is dying. Marked by a curse no one understands, his once-vibrant birthmark fades with each passing day; an unspoken sentence counting down to his end. Alone on a desolate hillside, exhausted and broken, he clings to the last pieces of his fading life: a letter to his family, a worn sword, and a heart heavy with regret. Then, without warning, a stranger appears. Tall, dark, and silent, the man's arrival is both a mystery and a lifeline. There is something in his sharp, guarded gaze; a flicker of something deeper beneath the surface of his hardened exterior. In the face of death, what begins as wary dependence slowly shifts into something more powerful, an unspoken bond that neither of them expected but both desperately need. In the shadow of a fading curse and the weight of a broken past, Nox and the stranger find themselves drawn together by something neither dared to name. As life grows fleeting, their connection becomes a chance at salvation, not just of the body, but of the heart. Sometimes, love arrives when all seems lost.Complete
