Every smile, every word, every detail of her life is a fragment of a love that only Y/n can truly understand. From afar, he watched her, studied her, waited for the perfect moment. But watching is no longer enough. Emma needs to know they are meant to be together. And if fate won't make it happen, Y/n will do whatever it takes to ensure it does.

This time, I bring you the translation of the fanfic In Emma's Shadows (Male Reader), written by @juanelmataabuelas. This story really caught my attention - not only because the lovely Emma Myers is the protagonist, but also because it's the first time Y/n - or rather, we as readers - play the role of the stalker. The plot is full of manipulation, obsession, and toxic love. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.wattpad.com/story/391769935-entre-las-sombras-de-emma-mal%C3%A9-readerComplete
