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.All Rights Reserved

The Incident at Garcinia Institute by Sapphire_PraiseWorth

The legacy of the Eliwood House was intrinsically tied to Henry, one of two children whose father tragically lost his life. The sorrowful shadow of his father's death forced the family to abandon their home in the Brightwood District, seeking solace somewhere new. His mother found it in the Corandale District, and through the toil of eight grueling years, she rediscovered an old flame via an online meeting. A high school sweetheart, a beacon of hope that illuminated the path to true love she thought was forever buried with her husband. The unexpected reunion rekindled their passion, culminating in a planned wedding as the fall leaves began to drop. The leaders of Eliwood House, bearing the responsibility of Henry's safety, dispatched colleagues to watch over him until his mother's wedding. They took residence in the Brightwood District and he made an unexpected decision - to enroll in a local university. His goal was to investigate his father's death. They even opted to reside in the co-ed dormitory, blending in seamlessly with the assistance of two members of the Eliwood House; he was able to uncover the truth. In his time at Garcinia Institute, Henry unexpectedly crossed paths with a familiar face-an old friend. United by their history and shared intrigue, they ventured into the forgotten remnants of the Lenora Institute of Technology, seeking answers to the mystery surrounding his father's untimely demise. During their exploration, they stumbled upon a series of vials intriguingly marked as 'Alphus Formula.' Intrigued and reckless, they decided to transport a few back to their base at the Garcinia Institute for further examination. However, an inadvertent disaster struck. A vial slipped from their grasp, its contents spilling and rapidly transforming into a pervasive, toxic gas that permeated the confines of their classroom. Yet, as quickly as it had manifested, it disappeared, leaving behind an ominous silence.

The Perfect Hold by selenefedorov

NSFW Celeste Evans has finally found the life she's always dreamed of and freedom from the shadows of her past. And she owes it all to Silas Grant. Silas is everything she thought she'd never have: loving, patient, and devoted, the kind of man who would move mountains to see her happy. From the moment he helped her escape her old life, he has been her sanctuary, her protector, the man who has anticipated her every need. Now, as they prepare to leave their London flat for a quiet village in the English countryside, Silas insists on handling every detail of the move, leaving Celeste free from worry. He wants her to rest, to heal, to be happy. But as boxes stack in the empty corners of their once-vibrant home, an inexplicable feeling begins to unsettle Celeste. It's something faint, just at the edge of her awareness-a quiet question that no amount of reassurance seems to erase. Her friends express their concerns in subtle ways, and Celeste dismisses them. After all, Silas is perfect. His affection and care have given her everything she never thought possible. Yet as she stands in the near-empty rooms of their apartment, she wonders if the life they share has been constructed for her rather than by her. Small moments- his way of always knowing where she is, what she's thinking-start to shift her perspective, making her question her place in the life he's so meticulously crafted. In Silas's love, Celeste once found peace. But now, as they prepare to leave the city behind, she begins to wonder if his devotion may come at a price she's only just beginning to understand. For the first time, Celeste must decide if she can trust the man who gave her everything or if he's built a world where she might lose herself completely.
