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!

Also, feel free to check out the playlist that I have in the works for World Coming Down. Some of the songs feature throughout various chapters, while others fit the vibe while I've been writing.

Ivy, Grey and Arrow are finally back in Sin Sity but things are far from normal. Ivy has left her old life behind and thrown herself head first into the world she's been running from since she was a child. With her sister by her side, and some new unlikely allies, Ivy fights to stay out of her fathers grasp. But as gang members disappear, and cryptic letters and packages show up on their doorstep, the endgame of this plan is beginning to look more and more bleak.
Meg's life, Grey's life and Arrow's life hang in the balance and the anticipation is making Ivy crazy. She thought she could do this. She thought she could beat this. She thought that love would conquer all.
But what if it doesn't?

The blood on his hands stains my thighs.
My pearly skin turning crimson under his touch. And I knew I should feel disgusted. I mean fuck- he'd just killed a man in front of me. But I wasn't. Maybe that said more about me than about him but I didn't care. Not as his hands squeezed my skin and his teeth caught my ear lobe. But he pulled away after just a moment.
Arrow tugged me up until we were standing pressed together. Ignoring the body lying lifelessly on the floor of the basement. Arrow walked us backwards toward to the stairs. He turned me around when we reached the first step. We didn't speak as we ascended the staircase and walked straight to the bathroom.
Arrow turned on the water, and stripped my clothes before stripping his own. Steam billowed into the bathroom as we stepped into the glass shower.
We moved into the water and his lips found my neck. He kissed gently as I watched the pink water swirl around the drain.
The door to the shower opens and I turn. Grey's dark eyes give nothing away as he moves to us. He reaches around me to peck Arrow on the mouth, then leans down to capture my mouth in a brutal kiss.
He pulls away and smiles down at me. "I love when you're already wet for me, angel."
