The house watches her, its halls stretching like the remnants of a dream she once knew but cannot name.
He stands in the space between shadow and light, his eyes holding the weight of a thousand unspoken goodbyes.
She steps closer, drawn by something deeper than memory, something fragile yet inevitable.
Love is already there, quiet and waiting, but with every touch, every whispered breath, the curse tightens around them.
Somewhere in the folds of time, in verses left behind by hands long gone, the truth waits-but to find it is to accept that love, once held, must also slip away.

(MalexMale) The Soul Master [Crimson Immortal Series: Book 2] by --CN--Writes

The first of three curses was fulfilled. The town of Ceginia is no more, having succumbed to the Lich King's Heart Rot curse. Sei is still bound and obligated to finish two more curses for Zhil, a mage who learned the forbidden soul magic and forced a contract with him. They escaped almost unscathed from a group of mage hunters, who had been hunting for Zhil for many years, in the aftermath of Ceginia. Suffering from Zhil's poor handling of Sei's ghost magic, they both fell into a state of magical exhaustion. Sei is taunted by the nightmare of his rebirth into the Bleeding King, only to awaken to the news of the elusive Weeping King, another lich, being sighted around his realm. Sei and Zhil must return to find out what he wants before heading to Gytuana. The city where magic lives and the next curse in Zhil's contract. PREVIEW: Perhaps it was because Sei only managed an hour of sleep or perhaps because his mind was in disarray, he didn't sense the void steadily circling him. Hidden out of sight and biding their time until it was the right moment to strike. Muted by the ambiance of the landscape around it, a low twang of a bowstring hummed. Lofting its arrow forward at high speed. Penetrating through the air the wind gave no heed to its destination. The moment before it struck, Sei turned his head finally sensing the danger. But slow to judge the distance, he failed to get out of the way in time, allowing the arrow to slice across the front of his eyes, bathing his world in darkness.

Wings, Flings, and Demon Kings [Paranormal Romance] by SophieKestrel

[COMPLETE] A rambly angel. A debonair demon. A very stuck elevator... NIRAEL has never been the best angel. A little too loud, always in the wrong place at the wrong time, she constantly finds herself written up by her archangel superiors for minor misdemeanors. When her Remedial Goodness program forces her to do a capstone project on Earth, she decides this will be the day she finally turns her life around. That is, until she meets... AZERATH has always been a good demon. Which, for a demon, is tantamount to career suicide. Sent to Earth as part of his Remedial Evil program, his demonic superiors issue him an ultimatum: corrupt a hundred souls in the next month or risk being unmade. But they didn't specify that the souls he corrupts have to be human. Mostly romcom fluff with a dash of existential angst.
