Deep Like Water (Yandere!BEN Drowned X GN!Reader)
You never expected your parents to abandon you at the age of sixteen, and if it wasn't for the man your parents took in when you were ten, you would have been completely alone. Even after a year, you still half-expected them to come back. Your seventeenth birthday came and went with only two people to celebrate it, and you weren't related to either of them. Then came your eighteenth with the same two people. Your hobbies carried you through the loneliness that you found yourself in-although, your guardian told you again and again that ghost hunting wasn't a hobby. When a string of murders ravaged your town, your interest in both the paranormal and technology came in handy. If it wasn't for you, the case would never have been solved, and you never would have brought someone back from the dead, even if he did torture you with his embarrassingly truthful compliments and flirtatious lines. (this is a work of fiction. all the Pastas belong to their original creators. they are not real, nor am i saying that they are. the only thing i own is the plot and any OCs. please do not re-write my work. this is not a romanticisation.)Complete

What We Make Room For | Regression Story
What We Make Room For is a quiet, luminous tale about healing, chosen family, and the courage it takes to be known. On a coastal campus where faculty live just steps from their students, Ezra Reyes teaches art with a gentle hand and paint-streaked fingers. His partner, Dr. Liam Reyes, a grounded and steady professor of social work, is a quiet force of calm in a chaotic world. Together, their home is a haven filled with books, warmth, plants, and an unspoken capacity for care. Then there's Cara Rowan. Twenty years old, intelligent, guarded, and unraveling. Studying pre-med and hiding more than just her exhaustion, Cara is barely keeping it together. She's been taking black-market pills to suppress the signs of her true classification as a "little," a label she's terrified to claim but one that explains everything she's spent years trying to erase. The pills help her appear strong. But they also steal her joy, wreck her body, and bury the very parts of her that once made her feel whole. When Ezra finds her sketching behind the art building-anxious, sharp-tongued, and too tired to pretend-he sees something she doesn't. Over time, and with Liam's quiet guidance, the three begin to form an unexpected bond. A slow, tentative trust grows between them, anchored not in obligation but in deep, resonant care. As Cara is drawn into their world of shared breakfasts, long beach walks, and a love that asks for nothing but honesty, she begins to question the life she thought she had to live. But healing isn't easy, and to move forward, she must face the shadows of her past and the truth of who she is. This is a story about soft rebellion. About becoming. About finding home, not just in a place, but in people who stay.
