In a city where love gets you killed, he chose her anyway.
Silas rules the South Bronx-feared, untouchable, and built from pain. No one crosses him. No one gets close. That is, until Leilani.
She's soft where he's sharp. Quiet where he's loud. Light in the middle of everything he's tried to bury. She wasn't supposed to matter. But when the streets pull her into the dark, Silas finds himself breaking his own rules to keep her close.
They say he don't save nobody.
But for her? He just might start a war.
A short story about loyalty, trauma, survival, and a love that defies the city it was born in.

Clinically Aggressive
Silas knows three things for certain: Ezra loves him more than anything in the world. Ezra would never hurt him on purpose. Ezra will, quite literally, be the death of him. *** Ezra and Silas have been inseparable their entire lives, for better or worse. Theirs is the kind of attachment that makes "forever" sound less like a promise and more like the premise of a true crime documentary. After eighteen years of proximity, distance finally exposes the rot. But even then, neither of them can let go. *** A study in codependency with a touch of romance, and no happy ending in sight. CW: graphic violence, blood/gore, harsh depiction of mental illness, sex & strong language

Scared to Love you
Stella Kiefling thought her life was ordinary enough to survive quietly. A wife trying to hold together a marriage already cracking at the edges, a mother carrying exhaustion behind polite smiles, a woman swallowing disappointment until it settled too deep inside her chest. The days blurred between unpaid emotions, responsibilities, and the kind of loneliness that could still exist beside another person in the same bed. Then everything began shifting all at once. The betrayal she tried not to see. The humiliation that kept returning in different forms. The fragile independence she slowly reached for with trembling hands. One step outside the ruins of her marriage led her into a world far louder than her own, filled with wealth, attention, and people carrying influence powerful enough to overturn her quiet life completely. And somehow, Stella became trapped between three men. One was the husband she thought she knew, yet still lingered inside her heart like an unfinished wound refusing to close. The second came with quiet restraint, offering concern that slowly blurred into something more dangerous. The last entered her life like a storm, overwhelming, intrusive, impossible to ignore no matter how hard she tried to push him away. Each of them carried their own way of reaching for her. Attention. Protection. Possession. Regret. And Stella, already exhausted from surviving her collapsing marriage, found herself dragged deeper into emotions she no longer trusted. Because the more she tried to steady her life, the more everything around her tightened-jealousy, desire, public scrutiny, buried secrets, and the painful question of whether love had ever truly existed in the first place. In the middle of it all, Stella could only keep moving forward, even when every choice seemed capable of ruining her all over again.
Broken Mirrors and Dead Roses
TW:⚠️ Abuse⚠️ violence ⚠️ Leilani never meant to fall for him. Gotham was supposed to be a fresh start - a place to rebuild her life in the shadows, far from the scars of her past. But crossing paths with Bruce Wayne changes everything. What begins as a carefully guarded arrangement spirals into something neither of them can deny. Bruce has always believed love is a luxury he cannot afford. His life belongs to Gotham, to the mask, to the endless war. But Leilani forces him to confront the one thing he's always feared most - what if he's capable of more than the mission? What if someone could see every fracture, every scar, and still choose him? When enemies rise and war stretches across the world, their fragile connection is tested by secrets, sacrifice, and the relentless pull of duty. Leilani builds a life of her own, determined to stand on her own two feet... even if it means leaving the man she loves behind. Bruce, torn between the city he swore to protect and the woman who haunts his every thought, must decide if he's willing to risk his heart in a way he never has before. From whispered confessions to explosive battles, from heartbreak to the chance of forever - this is not just the story of Batman. It's the story of the man behind the mask learning to fight for something beyond Gotham's shadows. Dark. Romantic. Emotional. A love story tangled in war, resilience, and the hope of second chances.Complete
And You Stayed...
She is not cold. She is tired. Ruth has spent so long surviving her own mind that loving someone feels like another responsibility she might fail. She pushes. She withdraws. She convinces herself she is protecting him. Dylan loves without knowing where to stop. He stays when it would be easier to leave. He calls it devotion. He does not realize it is slowly costing him pieces of himself. When honesty finally breaks through, love is no longer soft. It is heavy. It is breathless.
