"Can we stop feeling guilty, Amelia? Guilty for all the things that weren't our fault." "We can Leo. Maybe someday." "That day isn't far off Amelia. I'll make sure of it." ___________________________________ There is a lot to think about when you find out your best friend has been raped and murdered. There is even more to think about when you're the last person she saw the night she died. But that's not what caused me to black out in the middle of a rocking party scene, surrounded by all the people I had known all my life. It was when I saw who had killed her.

KILLER SYMPHONY by Captain_Fein

It's Classical Music vs. Heavy Metal! A dark sci-fi story about a killer who falls in love with the superstar violinists he's paid to silence and a heavy metal idol that gets his left arm replaced by a mechanical limb. How far would you go to protect the music you love? One lived to create killer symphonies, the other craved to reinvent heavy metal… Gabrant Evergreen, a music-obsessed, schizophrenic hitman, is hired to silence the world-famous violinists, and twin sisters, Artemis and Arjuna. As he falls in love with their looks and their music, he rebels against his employers and starts to fight the other assassins sent after them. After Rikk Raven, a sensitive guitarist, sees his girlfriend brutally murdered, he receives an invitation from an obsessive fan that turns his world upside down. If he gives up his left arm, he could get it replaced by a mechanical limb that would allow him to play the guitar like no-one in the business. He agrees to this and meets the secretive Wintervia, an inventor who promises to make him into a star. Controlling everything from his subterranean throne, Wintervia uses six elite hitmen like chess pieces in his war against classical music, while he transforms the broken Rikk into the ultimate heavy metal machine.

Symphonies of You by theasstour

✔️ COMPLETE Part-time violinist and full-time procrastinator, Jackie Picot, has a total of five problems after only the first week of starting Battersea, University of London. 1) Her flatmate keeps having sex with a bloke Jackie knows will eventually break said flatmates heart. 2) She can't find a job in bloody busy London, and without one she'll never be able to afford the violin of her dreams (or survive, for that matter, as she needs food). 3) She misses her little brother so much it hurts. 4) Jägerbombs used to taste better. 5) A very cute, yet annoying, guy named Harry keeps popping up everywhere, and she's unsure how to appropriately flirt with boys as she's only ever done so with girls.

The world, coming down by MyEyesAreCircles

One way or another, Dec had been captivated by it all; those eyes, that smile, his somehow calm but chaotic energy. He was captivated. Enthralled. Desperate to live the life he couldn't help but fantasise about. Even if, in reality, it wouldn't be the perfect, picket fence existence he imagined. Even if the world would come falling down over and over again. Even if everything went wrong... It would all be worth it in the end. Dec/Stephen

Silently the Senses Abandon Their Defenses (Larry Stylinson) by LHStylinson

"You know, the answer to everything. You know all there is to know in the universe. Crunch the numbers. Tell me the answer. What's the point of love if it's just gonna disappear? And how is it worse to not love anybody? There has to be meaning to existence. Otherwise, the universe is just made of pain, and I don't like the thought of that, so tell me the answer." "If there were an answer I could give you to how the universe works, it wouldn't be special. It would just be machinery fulfilling its cosmic design. It would just be a big, dumb food processor. But since nothing seems to make sense, when you find something or someone that does, it's euphoria." -The Good Place Louis and Harry's love of music helps them find each other. And in one night, euphoria.
