The Modern Faust
Felix was never meant to live happily ever after. Not with a God who calls his love a sin. Not with a fiancé who chose salvation over him. And not with a heart that won't stop aching to change his fate. So when a demon named Memphis offers him the chance to become normal, Felix doesn't hesitate. He signs away his soul to kill the part of himself he can no longer bear to live with. But the devil deals in illusions, and what begins as a dream quickly spirals into a nightmare of lies, madness, and blood. A fusion of Faust and Medea, this modern tragedy dives into the brutal consequences of internalized homophobia, the war between faith and desire, and the terrifying price of rewriting your nature. The Modern Faust tells the story of a man who dares to defy what he is and loses everything.

Steady where she's shaky, gentle where life has been rough, Gio sees Junie in a way no one else ever has. Not the version she tries to present to the world but the real her.

He just shows up again and again with warm hands, quiet patience, and a heart big enough to hold the pieces she's afraid to show. As Junie slowly lets herself trust him, she discovers something she's never had before: a place to rest. A place to be small. A place to be safe. But safety is new. Trust is terrifying.
