𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐊𝐄𝐍 𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 (m. yanderes x reader)
(COMPLETED) (Y/n) couldn't be happier. Ever since she could remember her biggest dream had been to become a Prima Ballerina, and now entering Bellemont Ballet Academy she's closer to her goal than ever before. And farther away from home than she's ever been, not that this bothers her though, if anything this only makes Bellemont Academy that much more appealing. And everything could have been perfect if her past had been okay with letting her go and if her future didn't hide monsters of another kind. Unfortunately (Y/n) couldn't be so lucky and should have known that Fate wasn't quite done with her. WARNINGS: this story will contain violence, gore, blood, murders and sexual content. Please proceed with caution if any of these trigger you. ( Inspired by: Bloody Hands by AnaDWinter, Dancing through the fire by LTMay)Complete

Ashes and Embers
"I warned you, Kristina," he said, leaning closer to me, his hand scorching my wrist, his silver eyes darkening to a stormy grey. "I told you what would happen if you defied me." Fire was racing up and down my arm. The rose necklace burned at my throat. "I love you, my Angel," he murmured, his eyes closing as he brought my hand up to his cheek. "The only question is, do you love me?" *** When Kriss Darcy returns to her family's upstate New York manor after her first year of university, she has no idea what the future has in store for her. A nineteen-year-old former theater star, she hasn't sung for others since her father, her idol and coach, died two years prior. But an obsession changes everything. A heavenly voice. Whispers of help. Passionate music stirring the air... and terrorizing the residents of the manor. A silver glare and a burning self-hatred. That's Ash. Childhood memories. A stolen kiss. Binging sitcoms... and confusing the hell out of Kriss. A shamrock gaze and a boyish charm. That's Jase. As the past meets the present, Kriss must decide what she wants. But every choice has a consequence - some more dire than others. *** "To love is to burn, to be on fire. Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility. And I don't know about you, but I sure as hell don't want to be set on fire." -------- #1 in masquerade - June 15, 2021 #1 in angel - November 8, 2021 #4 in demons - November 8, 2021 #7 in opera - April 3, 2022Complete
