| Jax Teller x OC ᅳ COMPLETED | After Jax made the decision to leave Abel in Ireland with the couple who had adopted his son, his life took a completely different turn. He finally ended his relationship with Tara after his return from Ireland, whereupon Tara decided to have an abortion and go back to Chicago. His mother hadn't spoken to him since Jax left her grandson with another family. Only the club understood Jax' decision at the time, which was now three years ago. Not a day went by when Jax didn't think about Abel and little by little the desire arose to get to know his son, despite his dangerous lifestyle. Maybe he wouldn't be such a bad influence like Kellan Ashby told him years ago and brainwashed him into thinking that Abel was better off without him. Especially after fourteen months in prison and a few more not so good months that followed, he needed a ray of hope. And that ray of hope was in Ireland. However, it wasn't just his son who gave him a glimmer of hope, but also Caitlin, Abel's adoptive mother.

In the shadows. (H.S) [A.U] by Aneesa2580

"There's something in the shadows. It finds you in a cold room. Silhouette against the wall." Elizabeth Rose walks home every night, nothing but murky rural streets, inky against the English night sky to keep her company. Her safe space has been invaded, however, feeling like every corner en route is a void trying to suck her in, and every tendril of dark is waiting to pull her into oblivion. It is the shadows, that is all she understands, and the thought has been quaking her shoulder blade. No amount of looking in retrospect can make her lay a finger on what's wrong. What's wrong? Is it the shadows? Is it what is in the shadows? Or is it a who? All she knows is that whatever it is, it is coming for her, all she can do is brace herself before it all crashes down. Before the shadows cave in. But she didn't see THIS coming. She NEVER did. highest ranking: #6 in darkharry. NOTE: THIS STORY DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND HARRY. HE HAS A CHARACTER IN IT BUT THE STORY IS BASED ON ELIZABETH'S LIFE MAINLY AND PARTLY HARRY'S.
