angst burn criminal eames family goren healing intent law order romance slow slowburn trauma

Like whisky, Robert Goren was an acquired taste. He knew it. She knew it (as did anyone that spent time in his company).

But Alexandra Eames liked whisky.

This story explores the deep bond between Eames & Goren. It covers the events of the series and beyond (including their interim absence during S9) with one major change. Eames's pregnancy in S3 wasn't a surrogacy for her sister. Instead, she chose to have a child on her own.

And Bobby learns to reevaluate a poignant question- is it too late?

Unwritten, Yet Ours by Seoulfulbxblover

Aiden Kim always believed his life was straightforward. An architect with a steady future, he thought marriage would be the final step in his carefully built plans. But when his arranged bride runs away on the wedding day, Aiden finds himself bound to someone entirely unexpected-her younger brother, Lucas Rivera. Reserved, sharp, and carrying scars no one can see, Lucas is thrust into a marriage neither of them chose. The Kim family resents him at first, unaware of the cruelty he faces in his own home. But little by little, walls begin to crumble. Laughter seeps into silence, warmth replaces coldness, and the family that wasn't supposed to be his starts to feel like home. Lucas falls first, quietly and deeply. Aiden falls later, but harder than he ever imagined. Together, they face rivera family, painful truths, and the slow, undeniable pull of a love that grows in stolen glances and whispered promises. In a world that accepts them, can two men bound by accident learn to choose each other-and rewrite the vows they never asked for? --- ✨ A slow-burn BL romance about family, healing, and love that isn't forced, but chosen. ✨

7 Nights with Mr. Black by AlmostPsycho

"I hate you." My voice cracks as I tell him. His feet stop at the door. I clutch the bedsheet tightly around my chest as he turns around with an emotionless face. "Then there will be a lot of hate fucking between us." A smirk curve his lips as his green eyes rake over my body with the heat of conquest. Hot rage flows through my veins and I glare back at him with so much hatred for what he did to me. "Breakfast at sharp 8:10. You remember, right?" He smirks arrogantly and walks out of the room with his warnings. WARNING: FORCED SXX BOOK!! 🔞 * * * * * * * * * * * Dakota Black was a man cloaked with charisma and power. But I made him a monster.

Little Light (GxG) by special_anonym

In a world that moves too fast, she's learning to breathe slowly. To feel again. To let someone touch the parts of her she thought were long gone. There are no crowns here. No thrones. Just the quiet war of learning how to be held without flinching. She doesn't beg for safety. She creates it in silence. And when she kneels, it's not for weakness- it's because she trusts. But trust has a pulse. And it just might be hers. A story of shadows softened by light, of control given, not taken. Of healing whispered through touch, and love written in silence. This isn't where the pain begins. It's where it learns to rest. ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ : EMOTIONAL INTIMACY SUBSPACE SLOW-BURN HEALING TRIGGERING THEMES (VULNERABILITY, TRUST, PAST TRAUMA)

His gaze burned into mine, and I sensed the struggle within him to maintain control. His eyes, like dark pools, drew me in, and I felt myself drowning in their depths. My breath caught as his gaze lingered on my face, and I knew he was fighting the urge to reach for me. My own desire rose to meet his, and for a moment, we simply stood there, our hearts pounding in unison. Then, with a visible effort, he tore his eyes away, his voice low and husky as he spoke. "We should go inside." The words were a thin veil over the raw passion that threatened to consume us both. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I realized how close we were to surrendering to our desires.

Dark Hearts Entwined || Regina Mills x OC || OUAT by CherryWine513

Regina Mills X FemOC Abandoned as a newborn by a woman she'd never known, Adirra Evanna and her twin brother were rescued by their fairy godmother, Tigerlily, who entrusted them to their Father Malcolm. Hesitant at his ability to raise the children without their mother, Malcolm took them in. Although he made sure they had a roof over their heads, his blind hatred for his son, married with substance abuse and emotional neglect only fed the growing resentment within Adirras heart. A resentment that with every injustice her father inflicted, clawed through her like a scream she never dared to voice and eventually began to manifest as something sharper, something with more spite. Magic. Dark Magic. Growing up with a father that feared her but also knew exactly how to hurt her and would, given the opportunity, affected Adirra more than she'd like to admit. After finally escaping a man that resembled the devil, Adirra resided in a secluded cabin, deep in the enchanted forest. Her life of isolation was integrated by the only two people Adirra had ever let get close enough to stay, Tigerlily and Clare. However this peace was quickly fleeting compared to the next two and a half centuries she was forced to spend with the man that abandoned her and her brother as children. Exposed to the harsh reality of a world that tried to control her, Adirra thought she'd be subjected to a life of solitude for eternity. That was until a soft brown haired boy, firm in his beliefs and adamant that his family would rescue him, arrived on the island. Luckily for Adirra, they did, but of course nothing comes without a price. Tropes: Enemies to friends to lovers Soulmates Slow burn Takes place from season 3 to season 7
