Following recent turmoil in his organization, Gerry finds comfort in Sam, an ex-government agent seeking redemption through the Co-op. Sam is haunted by his past and failing to fit in, but he seeks guidance in Gerry's passion and idealism. Seeing his desire to change, Gerry feels a deep connection with Sam despite his baggage. Their budding relationship is strained near its breaking point when Sam reveals even more secrets from his past. Gerry has to question if he can forgive Sam one more time. Can Sam truly be reconciled, or is he doomed to always make the worst decision? This is a passionate train wreck that explores evolutions in relationships, the challenges of moving on from the past, and the struggle to build a future against a backdrop of political transformation.

This is a continuation from The Silent Veil, and contains spoilers for the book. However, this piece can be read completely separately and stands alone. I recommend reading the book first.

Mrs. Avery by RejectedConcepts
47 parts Complete Mature
Love is strange. It exists in many forms and is one of the key components that makes humans happy, but there isn't a lot of understanding surrounding it. At least not the kind of understanding with which the average person identifies. Agnes is one of the few people that can accept all kinds of love. Despite her dated name, she is a woman in her late 20's dealing with the death of most of her family. She's now stuck in the middle of figuring out how to raise children that she never saw in her future and deciding what love means for her, when it has to exist within layer upon layer of complication. She let go of her boyfriend after almost a decade because their love wasn't meant to exist under the strain of children, only to find herself confronted with the overpowering connection of her old high school sweetheart. The same man she ran away from because their values hardly aligned when it came to how love should be expressed long term. Within the midst of learning how to raise children and balance her ever-building career, Agnes tries to recover from her mother's death, seek comfort without complicating her circumstance, and figure out why her mother would name her Agnes. Finding real comfort starts to feel impossible, as her most available options are her ex-boyfriend and her assistant. Completed! Rejected 6 times** "This one just isn't for us." By far the most plain rejection I have ever received and I can respect it. 1/22/2022 - 1K 9/28/2022 - 10K
