"This is what it boils down to. A five years spent waltzing around each other, then seven more doing the same hand in hand. After all that loving, fighting, kissing, crying...this is all you get? A phone call and a few words? And what use are words anyway? They aren't permanent. This phone call isn't. The memories. Those years. None of it. Death is the only thing he’ll remember you for and it isn't fair."
As one lays dying, two lovers say goodbye.

Heart of Stone (Parts I & II)
[COMPLETE] Some bonds can't be broken, even in death. -- He couldn't endure another heartbreak. "Accepting her would be a mistake," he said. "She's a human. I can't afford to have her blood on my hands." Gwen looked away, and he knew she saw the image that flashed in his mind. The slaughter. Bodies everywhere. The putrid stench of decay and metallic blood seeping through his fingers and staining the earth under his feet. The small, lifeless body in his hands whose death he couldn't prevent. And whose death he could never forget. "It won't be like that with her," she murmured to the floor. "I won't take that chance." Heavy with sorrow, her brown eyes looked up into his.

The Silent Host (boyxboy OHSHC)
Cover by siimplyisaac Words. Everyone takes them for granted, using them non-stop, screaming them, laughing them, blurting them. But what about when they're dying? Are they strong enough to scream out their last words? To laugh out their final sentence? To blurt out the last thing people will remember of them? Your dying words mean everything. It's what people remember you saying last and it shouldn't be something stupid which if you get used to saying stupid things, I believe you won't have any control of what you say when you die. So words are valuable, and I, James Hunter, won't waste them. Of course I'll speak when it's important but I don't think I'll speak for anything other than that. But I'm dying and I don't want to be, but the choice isn't mine to make. My body- my heart has made up its mind, I'm going to die, I just have to accepting it. And if I'm going to die, I want to be remembered, I want them to visible see my face, feel my touch and hear my voice from my final hours of living. I want my family to know everything I've been holding in and I want my friends to remember me as strong. So what I'm going to die? Everyone does at one point. I'll just die sooner than expected and medication won't do anything to stop it, only postpone it and I don't want it postponed, when I'm ready... I'm ready and I want my heart to be on the same page as I am.Complete

A Gentleman's Kiss
Fall in love with a writer and you are instantly immortalized in her work, in her mind, and in her heart. Memories of you will never die as it will be re-read, relived, and will rekindle all emotions felt as if they lasted forever. ❤ Dedicated to A.R.R. whom I've been friends with since June this year. Some parts are really based on reality: what we do, how we talk, and that genuine feeling of happiness when I'm with him. Although for the sake of literature, I had to tweak some details a bit. Enjoy reading. :)Complete

•Love Beyond Death• (TSS Ghost Au Fic)
•Based on the @literallyglitchn Ghost Au on Tumblr• "I trained myself to always seem in control." Logan's voice lowered. "But with you, it's not the same. I'm not the same." "You seem upset about that." "I'm not sure if I like being different," "You realize you're only different with me, right? And I'd never judge you for it." Barry's expression softened as he brushed Logan's hair from his forehead. "I think it's a privilege to see this side of you. I really like it," he confessed, his thumb gently stroking Logan's cheek. Logan hesitated, his eyes meeting Barry's with a mix of uncertainty and curiosity. Their gazes lingered before Barry leaned in, capturing Logan's lips in a kiss. It was a moment that seemed to suspend time, and for Logan, it was a revelation. In that kiss, he realized his heart had found its true home. ⚠️TW: MAIN CHARACTER DEATH, MURDER, IMPLIED SMUT, EMOTIONAL & PHYSICAL ABUSE, PANIC ATTACKComplete
