|| Story Explanation ||
In a world where happiness is mandatory and all other emotions are suppressed, Atlas finds himself at a crossroads at 17 years old. Raised on the happiness pills like everyone else, he stumbles upon a post online that reveals the truth behind the medication - it's a form of brainwashing designed to control the population to get them not to question things anymore.
As Atlas begins to question the reality he has always known for the first time, he decides to stop taking the pills and starts to experience a range of emotions he never knew existed. But as he tries to convince others to do the same, he faces resistance from a society that has been conditioned to believe that happiness is the ultimate goal and all other emotions are bad.
As Atlas delves deeper into the truth behind the medication, he uncovers a sinister conspiracy that goes beyond just controlling emotions. With his mother still under the influence of the pills, Atlas must confront his own inner turmoil and make difficult choices that will determine the fate of his world. He discovers that there is a dark secret behind its creation. The government, in an attempt to control the population and maintain order, developed the pills to suppress negative emotions and dissent. Those who refuse to take the medicine are labeled as "unstable" and are sent to re-education camps where they're forced to take the pills.
Is happiness truly worth sacrificing all other emotions?

TAKEN SERIES: BOOK ONE TW: kidnapping, manipulation, toxic/abusive relationship, violence, death, grief, self-harm, suicidal thoughts/attempts, sexual assault, non-consensual sexual content, alcoholism, stockholm syndrome, switching partners, etc. Do not read this story if you get triggered easily. If you decide to continue, that's your own choice. This story will portray a BDSM relationship, NOT counting the toxicity and genuine abuse that goes on throughout it.

His Little Bird
Saving Leah Series Book 7 "So what do you admire most about women?" I ask the man as he sips on his coffee. He smirks as he sets his cup down, acting as if my question was some sort of joke, "Her complete submission, of course." I hum, disproving greatly of this answer as well as all the others before. "Birdie is not the type of submissive to give complete submission easily. What is your plan with that?" I ask him. He just laughs, "Every submissive can be broken in, it is only a test of a dominant's will," he says with a smirk. I smile tightly and slide his application into my folder, having all the answers I need. "So when do I get to meet her?" He asks, suddenly standing as he sees me gathering my things. I smile for real now, taking great pleasure in this part of the project. "Birdie is a flame in need of stoking, not extinguishing. I appreciate your time, but I have a lot of other candidates-" "There is nothing wrong with me holding my submissive up to high standards.
