31 parts Ongoing Mature
Story Bio: AMELIA HANSLEY writes to survive. Poetry is where she hides the things she can't say out loud. The loneliness, the longing, the quiet hope of being seen. To the world, she's just another girl with a perfect smile and unspoken struggles. But beneath it all, she dreams of a life bigger than the one she's trapped in. Just when her words begin to matter, everything falls apart. Pulled into the orbit of a man who offers protection wrapped in control, Amelia's world shifts into something darker , dangerous, and impossible to escape. He watches her like a promise and a threat all at once. Her world collapses-dragged into the hands of a man who promises protection... at a terrifying price. She looked for a hero- but he's the devil in disguise. She's stuck in a world where she doesn't belong. If that wasn't enough, an unnamed stalker kept crossing her. Can he be her savior? or the very person she needs saving from? Will she find the hero she's always written about, or will she fall into the clutches of the villain who thrives on destruction?
Something Like Oxygen by desdemona_shay
60 parts Ongoing Mature
Tommy's older, jaded, and sure he's too broken to love. Riley's younger, gentle, and still believes in forever. - Tommy Carter learned early that desire could drown you. That wanting the wrong thing could get you hurt, or worse. So he buried it. Became a cop. Got engaged to a woman. Lived the life expected of him, even as the weight of silence filled his lungs. Then he met Riley Monroe. Twenty-two. A physical therapy student. Sweet, soft-spoken, and too young for the things Tommy shouldn't be thinking about late at night. He's sunshine in human form, with a shy smile and eyes that see right through him. And Tommy- thirty-two, closeted, and aching- knows he should keep his distance. He's never been with a man. Never let himself want one this badly. But Riley's kindness cracks something open in him. Makes him feel like maybe, just maybe, it's not too late to want more. The age gap should be a warning. The timing couldn't be worse. But Riley is something like oxygen... and for the first time in years, Tommy wants to breathe. TRIGGER WARNING: This story contains homophobic language, traumatic childhood scenarios, and mature sexual content.

Duskwood: Love's Beginning by AnastasiaBellerose
57 parts Complete Mature
Even in the darkest moments, the beginnings of love can be found. Jayna Chacon is stuck in a rut. Her job is interesting, but she doesn't have any friends or anything else she's particularly passionate about. That is until a group of strangers starts texting her, asking her to help find their missing friend. Shortly after a faceless man reaches out and starts giving her orders. As time goes on, Jayna realizes she's risking her heart, her safety, and maybe even her life. Disclaimer: This original work of fanfiction is based on Everbyte Studio's mobile game, Duskwood. I do not claim ownership of Duskwood or its characters, nor do I claim that this story is part of the original. As this is a fanfic, I also will not earn any money from this work. There is more development of the main character than in the game so that readers who aren't familiar with Duskwood can still follow along. This storyline follows the main character and Jake (Jake X female MC). I've also added in a few characters of my own, just to give the story some more depth. As this is fanfic, there WILL be spoilers, so if you plan on playing the game or haven't finished it, I suggest you do so before reading this book! The chapters go from the MC's and Jake's point of view, so they don't follow the episodes in the game (i.e. there are more than 10 chapters to this book).

In the Shadows of Emma (Male Reader) by hiyodo
24 parts Complete
Synopsis: What began as simple admiration quickly spiraled into an overwhelming obsession. Y/n doesn't just love Emma Myers - he needs her. 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. Because true love knows no limits, fears nothing - not even a "no" for an answer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey, everyone! 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-reader
