Left at the Alter
Adrian Hanson is a 24-year-old, gay man, who gets left at the altar on his wedding day by his fiancee, and they had been together for 5 years in total, and engaged for 2, and he thought everything between them was fine. He decides to move out of the town they'd been living, and move to another state because he can, and he works remotely from home, and he needs a fresh start from the place that he and his ex-fiancee had been living together. He takes a couple of weeks to coordinate everything - finding a home to rent until he can search in person for a home to purchase, letting his job know that he's moving, and the new address once he's moved, packing the belongings he's taking, and selling or donating the rest, and notifying everyone important to him about what he's doing. Despite knowing that he's upsetting a few select people by moving states, thankfully they don't guilt him into staying.Complete

🔱 BROKEN 🔱 A feeling of hopelessness, loneliness and despair. A feeling that leaves a person empty, blank and stone cold because of it. Usually accompanied by a lack of self worth. Cause: Trauma, depression or loss of a loved one. Sometimes all of them. Can also be a side effect of bottled up feelings, waiting to burst at any moment. Treatment: The greatest cure for of al. A cure so hard-so rare, yet beautiful-to find, let alone acquire. Once it is in your grasp however, nothing can come between it and the person who craves it. Love. 🔱🔱🔱 Ashley Crowther has had it all. She's been all. She knows nothing but joy, laughter and how to have a good time. Get under her skin however, and she might just bite. You might just see a side of her that she's so expertly great at keeping at bay. But how long? How long will it take for her true self to finally burst free? 🔱🔱🔱 Eros Huxley is broken. To a point where he cant be put back together, to a point where he couldn't care less about anything. He's been the boy your parents warned you to never play with, the boy who never smiles, the boy covered in bruises and the boy who always looks down. The black sheep of not just his family, but of a whole town. All these before he was even 12 years old. What about when he gets older? 🔱🔱🔱 With every light, there is a darkness, waiting for its moment to come. With every right, there is a wrong. With every joy, there is a sorrow. Nothing can truly be itself, without having an opposite side to it. One cannot exist without the other. With sadness always watching from the corner, growing and growing, bigger and stronger, for its moment to arrive; to surface. No one is ever truly free from it. ©Complete

Guns & Whistles | Victor Zsasz
She couldn't tell you what was wrong with her. What kind of girl invites a serial killer into her home? UNDER EDITING * * * * Jovie, the strangest mix of self-destruction and an unexplainable will to survive. Living a twitchy, paranoid life in Gotham City, pursuing the lifestyle that comes with being a struggling artist. Her fascination for the criminal mind finds a focus when she goes on to a career as a sketch artist for Gotham City Police Department. Even more so, when she strikes up an odd friendship with Gotham's best hitman, Victor Zsasz. It's a strange and unsettling friendship, but one Jovie simply can't resist. From the moment the two met, you could feel something insidious wrapping around them, pulling them towards a path that they knew, deep down, shouldn't be followed. Caught up in a whirlwind of emotions, unable to see the danger that lay ahead. Love at first sight? No. This was something far more sinister, something that promised pleasure and pain in equal measure, something that would haunt them both for the rest of their lives. * Victor's touch burns, hot and cold. Long gone the remembrance of her marble white skin, tanted and reddened by his touch. Driving her further to that marble white grave he wants made for her. His tongue lingers on her parted lips, before dragging away. He can taste himself still on her tongue. He tilts her face up, and she finds, him, still there. He hadn't moved even an inch. But then his fingers cradle her sanguine cheeks, and his thumb presses on the corner of her bottom lip. He drags it down just a little, making her pout. Her lips tremble. . . . #2 in Zsasz (2023)
