Ethan Hayes thought fleeing Atlanta would be the hard part. Escaping relentless loan sharks and a crippling gambling addiction, he lands in Las Vegas with nothing but a bag of cash and a desperate hope for a fresh start. But Sin City has other plans.

After stumbling upon so many misfortunes and getting his drink spiked, Ethan wakes up in a lavish penthouse he doesn't recognize. Surrounding him are marble floors, gold-trimmed ceilings, and a view of the city that only the elite can afford. 

Enter Dante Blackwood-the mysterious and dangerously charismatic billionaire who's face never fail to miss a page of the daily news articles.

Dante, the prodigal son who built his own empire from his family's fortune, rules the city's underworld drug trade and production with a cunning smile and an iron fist. Second only to Victor Moretti, the notorious crime lord who controls Vegas's darkest vices, Dante is determined to take the throne and be number One.

Seeing something useful in Ethan, Dante makes an offer: infiltrate Victor Moretti's inner circle and gather the intel needed to bring him down. In return, Ethan gets a roof over his head and protection from the demons chasing him. Desperate and out of options, Ethan accepts, plunging headfirst into a world of deceit, danger, and seductive power plays.

As Ethan navigates the treacherous landscape of Victor's operation, where every glance is a test and every word could be his last, he finds himself drawn closer to Dante. The lines between duty and desire blur, and Ethan must decide how far he's willing to go and who he can truly trust.

In a city built on illusions and ambition, Ethan discovers that the biggest gamble isn't risking his life-it's risking his heart.

Redemption (boyxboy) (18+) by MatildaReed
40 parts Complete
Nathaniel Angelev is a gritty, battle-hardened mafia prince who seemingly has it all - money, power, and devastatingly good looks - even though he's sacrificed a lot along the way. But the final straw isn't the knife fight that renders him mute; it's the one that forces him to take the life of his closest friend. So Nate leaves his legacy of blood and gunpowder, determined to turn state's witness and dismantle the entire organization that has caused so much pain. And he finds himself headed straight into the arms of Marshal Reid Logan, a man secretly running from a past of his own. 
But the usual witness protection placements fail, over and over, and after an especially close call, Reid realizes that there must be someone inside of the Marshals Service working against them. Their only option is to send Reid's partner back in to hunt the mole inside of the agency, while Reid and Nate go off the grid and hit the road together. They're constantly on the move, fighting both Nate's fearsome family and their growing attraction to one another. The Angelev specter of danger is ever-looming, leading to numerous close calls and showdowns, with the stakes climbing even higher after Reid and Nate give in to their fierce passion for one another. They come to realize what's truly worth fighting for and learn that love can grow even in seemingly impossible circumstances. *****contains language, violence, sexual content, and other things of a mature nature***** (Originally posted - in a very different form - as Destiel fanfic)
