Ivy is a 24-year-old striving artist who finds herself trying to navigate the world as a newly single woman. Giving in to the pleas of her best friend Ella, she decides to take her off on her offer (or rather a demand) on a night out at their favorite goth club, Barracuda.
It seemed like any other night in the club, short of flying solo. When the band takes stage, Ivy finds herself captivated by the smoldering God that takes the stage. She would venture to guess him to be nearing 7 foot tall, with jet black hair down to his waist.
When the band strikes up and the stage lights descend, Ivy is spellbound by a pair of haunting forest green eyes.
And the spell he cast on her would become her undoing..

The idea for this story came to me over the years through my dreams. I've always had a soft spot in her heart for all things Type O Negative, or more rather all things Peter Steele.. 🖤💚 After many years of these dreams haunting me, I decided to finally put some of them down on paper.
I am writing this story as if TON were a present-day undiscovered band and that Peter was still in the land of the living. I realize that this story may be pretty niche, drawing in a specific crowd. But if you are one of us who stan the Green Man, this story is for you! Or rather, if you live for a good, spicy romance.. Welcome! This story is also for you! Who knows? This project may crash and burn, but it may also be wildly successful, as there are many of us who unashamedly love our smut. ;)
But alas! Enjoy the drama, and thank you for reading!

STORY 1
Ivy James loved being top of the school; she could click her fingers and get anyone to fulfill whatever her heart desired. She was happy enough with her equal, top jock, bad boy boyfriend, and there was nobody that could bring them down. Apart from a tiny rumor that people had seen Ivy and her boyfriend's best friend going into a room together at a party. What nobody knows is the evil that happened that night and the ways in which the queen bee's life changed accordingly.
Trying to navigate the aftershocks of assault, Ivy captures the interest of another member of the 'golden group'. He is fascinated by her and the way she acts around people. And before they both know it, not only are they navigating their own secrets, they find themselves engulfed in each other.
It's funny how we fall in love with the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time.
