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.

To Have Loved [BxB] Book I ✓
Moving is never fun, moving into your new stepdad's house because your mom decided to remarry again is even less fun, and being sent away unexpectedly to an unjustifiably expensive boarding school is the least fun of all. Out of all the things that have gone wrong in Kayden's life, the least expected was catching feelings for his rival. Elias Astor is annoying, and cocky, and Kayden can't seem to keep his eyes off of him. As much of an arrogant asshole as he is, Elias somehow makes life in their stuffy boarding school more bearable. #1 in darkacademia [5/16/22] #1 in ADHD [2/7/22] #2 in lgbt [10/4/21] #3 in boardingschool [10/4/21] #9 in enemiestolovers [10/4/21]Complete

Dangerous. A Voss never touches what he doesn't plan to break. But this time... he touches Ezra. "You're quiet because you're scared. "But I hear you just fine, Ezra. And that's what makes this fun." What begins as curiosity turns into obsession. And Lucien? He doesn't know how to love without breaking everything in his path. TUNE IN TO KNOW THEIR STORY 🩵Complete
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.
