Silas Pinepeak is a gravedigger.
A widower forever, childless, this honest profession fits him like a glove. Silas is a skilled professional and takes great pride in finding the best grave; for a fee, in hard cash, needless to say. A life in the great outdoors, with quiet and accommodating neighbors. In short, happiness, if you want it.
That's why on a Thursday - a rainy Thursday, no less! - he finds himself in his cemetery, roving the vaults section in search of a gem to satisfy a grieving family.
However, not everything goes as planned. Nothing could prepare him for what he would see that day, which would profoundly change his life.

People with powers exist, believe it or not. And it isn't some magic thing that gave us powers; it's a genetic malfunction that cursed us to a life of living as societal outcasts. You'd think that would pull us together, right? Wrong! ••• Silas has a rare genetic malfunction, that very few people have. It is rare and terrifying, as anyone who has the malfunction is given telekinetic abilities. He's never met someone else like him, but he's also rarely gone out in public to limit the chance of being called out for existing. He isn't necessarily happy with his life, but he doesn't hate it either. It's just going on and all he can do is watch time pass and hope that he never has to interact with people who hate him for existing. That is, until he discovers that someone else with the malfunction is murdering people like him, and by discover, he means damn near killed by the psychopath. In order to stay alive and off the killer's radar, Silas moves in with a doctor and an officer who helped save him, but as he spends time with them, Silas discovers a side to normal people that he's never gotten to see. A side that may break down his inner walls that have kept him safe for years... ••• cover by Ishanwadhwa123 !!!Complete

Clinically Aggressive
Silas knows three things for certain: Ezra loves him more than anything in the world. Ezra would never hurt him on purpose. Ezra will, quite literally, be the death of him. *** Ezra and Silas have been inseparable their entire lives, for better or worse. Theirs is the kind of attachment that makes "forever" sound less like a promise and more like the premise of a true crime documentary. After eighteen years of proximity, distance finally exposes the rot. But even then, neither of them can let go. *** A study in codependency with a touch of romance, and no happy ending in sight. CW: graphic violence, blood/gore, harsh depiction of mental illness, sex & strong language
Under Their Control
One minute, Clara was walking home. The next, she was gone. Kidnapped off the street by three strangers-Ezra, Silas, and Lucian-she wakes up in a mansion too perfect to be real. Every room is tailored to her. Every meal, every hobby, every word-they knew everything. And now they expect her to play along in their twisted version of a family. They wanted her. To them, Clara is the missing piece. The daughter they've been waiting for. The one they've been preparing for. Every room is made for her. Every rule is meant to shape her. And every smile hides something sick. Ezra. Calm, calculating, always three steps ahead. No matter how careful Clara is, he sees through her. Every lie. Every escape attempt. Every flicker of rebellion. Silas is distant and cold, but dangerous in his silence. Silas keeps his distance-but when he looks at her, it's like he sees straight through. And Lucian... Lucian's the gentle one.The one who brings her hot chocolate with extra marshmallows and brushes her hair. The one who says this is all for her own good. Lucian is soft-spoken and kind... almost like he wants her to believe this could be real. But it isn't. They don't want her freedom. They want her obedience. Her love. Her role. They call it family. She calls it a nightmare. But if Clara wants to survive, she might have to play along. Even if it means pretending to love her captors. _________________________________________ Author's Note: This is a story I've been wanting to post and now I've finally done it.
