Prompt 126: Because you're you, and I'm me, and we just don't fit.
Prompt 120: The door that closed to you many years ago has reopened,  and now it's  up to you to take a chance once more.

After doing time for beating a prostitute into a week hospital stay, Jesse Carrick loses everything-her job at Stanford University, her future, and the last shred of a normal life. But when a call from Himari drags her back into the underworld of Japan, she realizes the past isn't done with her yet.

Kidnapped. Sold into a trafficking ring. Trapped on a ship bound for hell.

After Jesse fights to survive 19 brutal days at Japan, she writes: a letter for every day spent in Japan, unraveling the truth she never wanted to face. The ghosts of her past are waiting.

But survival isn't just about escape. It's about fixing what can be fixed.

It's about Aaron Chaves, the man she left behind. The man she never stopped thinking about. As the days pass, her letters test everything they thought they knew-about love, about trust, about whether second chances mean a damn thing.

In 19 days, Jesse's world shatters.

Now, she has to decide whether to rebuild it-or burn it all to the ground.

A story of survival, revenge, and redemption, Peony Blooms in Blood dives deep into the wreckage of a love that refuses to die and the chaos of choosing the right path-when the world wants to keep you lost.

Now that the trial has been put to rest, Rueben believes that life is on an upward trend. It's not long before he understands he is sadly mistaken. Around every corner lies a new demon lurking with the desire to rip the rug out from under him. He makes the decision to team up with a secondary squad, but in the end, he wonder it's worth. Will dragging more people he cares about into the fight to save his best friend be beneficial?-or detrimental? The answer remains unknown. Without realizing it, more enemies have accumulated in his temporary departure from mafia business. Some seek vengeance in a faceless nature, while others are those he wouldn't dare believe would hurt him. Constantly stricken with the fear that his friends and family will receive the same fate as his sister, the fight to earn their freedom grows ever present. ☽ ☾ Mason feels as if his personal life is becoming what he's always wished for; he found someone that not only lights the fire in his body, but keeps it burning. However, not all things that start well, end well. Kai has a new person in his life and he's stealing all his time. The once open communication turns into broken boundaries. As the two of them slip into the shadows, acting in unison, Mason slowly gets shoved into the dark. And now the question remains: will everything he fears become reality? Everyone finds themselves battling for something. Love. Lust. Desire. Greed. Revenge. They've all got a motive. Only problem is-someone has to take the heat for it. ⤷ ᴍᴜʟᴛɪᴘʟᴇ ᴍᴄꜱ ꜱᴇqᴜᴇʟ ᴛᴏ ᴇɴᴛɪʀᴇʟʏ ʏᴏᴜʀꜱ ⤷ ✩ 350, 817 ᴡᴏʀᴅꜱ © COPYRIGHT MARELIZXX
Beautifully Obsessed by Aphrodite4263

He was her rock, her best friend, her first love. He became her worst nightmare, her tormentor, her captor She was his everything. His obsession. Their story should have ended with that court case, but he's found a way back to her, and he won't give her another opportunity to escape. Not this time. ------------------------------------------- Shivering, I sobbed out, unable to speak, unable to move. "Shh, shh, now baby-girl, it's alright, you're safe, don't cry" he soothed, moving closer to me. "N-Noah, I w-want to go home," I sobbed, feeling weak from my inability to talk without stuttering. A gasp left my parted lips as his hand forcefully connected with my cheek, "You are home, so I don't want to hear that crap from you, okay?" shaking, I looked down at my feet, his gaze too menacing to hold. "I said, do you understand" he spit through clenched teeth, "y-yes, I'm sorry" I whispered, a new wave of tears making their appearance. "Good girl, now I need you to keep being a good girl, okay?" nodding, my eyes met his dark ones. His form towered over me, making me feel small and irrelevant. "Words, Embry!" He demanded as I stuttered out a quiet yes. I studied him cautiously as he walked towards the far end of the room, shuffling through drawers before stalking back towards me and crouching down. I sucked in a breath as I saw the knife in his hand, his face held a mischievous grin as it glinted in the light. "Now baby-girl, you see, as much as I hate to, you need to be punished, do you know why?" Warning! This story is for mature audience, it contains strong language, abuse, mature themes and sensitive topics. Please enjoy, -Aphrodite.
Outlander: The Standing Stones by martykate1
36 parts Complete Mature
Irina is an American archaeologist on vacation in Scotland. She discovers there is a ring of stones (called a menhir, if you care to learn about such things) outside of town, so she decides to go and explore. What she finds delights her, not only a henge (a stone ring) but remains of tomb mounds and she spends a happy afternoon exploring it. Just before she decides to head back to town, she lays down, unwittingly, in the shadow of a tall stone. She wakes, realizing not only had she fallen asleep, but now she discovers that something is amiss--she may not even be in her own time. Even worse, she can hear the sound of men and horses...and realizes she is trapped and has nowhere to run. Fortunately, she stumbles across a young Highlander named Jamie Fraser who helps her hide. Together they spend the night in a tomb, but when she finds out that Jamie is on the run, she insists that he leave, and she will act as bait to enable him to make his getaway. This is not your usual "Outlander" story. A good portion is OC orientated, with Jamie making appearances and then vanishing from the story until he re-appears. When my OC finally gets to Castle Leoch, Gabaldon's characters make their appearances. I had fun writing this, it was the story I wanted to write, and it's Outlander themed. So far, people seem to like it so maybe I did something right! Thank you for all of those continuing to read this story and liking it!! I appreciate your votes and your comments and appreciate that you've helped make this story one of the most popular in the "Outlander" category!!! When I posted this on FanFiction.net, I'd pretty much given up hope due to the lack of response. If you are enjoying this story, please vote. I would love comments as I'd like to hear what you think!!!!

Taken Captive by RTEUYTAT
86 parts Complete Mature
I wrote this when I was 16 give me a break. TAKEN SERIES: BOOK ONE TW: kidnapping, manipulation, toxic/abusive relationship, violence, death, grief, self-harm, suicidal thoughts/attempts, sexual assault, non-consensual sexual content, alcoholism, stockholm syndrome, switching partners, etc. Do not read this story if you get triggered easily. If you decide to continue, that's your own choice. This story will portray a BDSM relationship, NOT counting the toxicity and genuine abuse that goes on throughout it. Do not comment anything unnecessarily judgmental, especially if you don't know what you're talking about. Thank you, enjoy. - - - - - "Don't ever do something like that again, or I will kill you, understood? "Yes, sir." - - - - - After being continuously hurt, left alone, heart broken and losing the one thing that kept her going, Nia Seymour turns to a new job that will show her how to let loose, live her life and make her happy again. The last thing she expected was to be Taken Captive by someone who would turn her life into chaos, make her addicted to the pain and hold her heart in his hands, breaking it and putting it back together over and over again until she's had enough. • • • The second he lays his eyes on her, Callum Rivera's world is turned upside down and he's made his mind up. She's his. He feeds off of the tears she cries, loves the pain all over her face when he hurts her over and over again, whether it's purposefully or not. As time passes and feelings evolve, soon enough the tears falling out of her eyes no longer give him pleasure, only pain and all he wants is for her to be happy, as long as she's with him. • • • The universe is sending challenge after challenge to these two individuals who want nothing but each other. Will they get past these secrets, lies, toxicity and pain? Or will one of them give up? - - - - -
