Emerson used to believe in friendship, trust, and the idea that people saw him for who he truly was. But that all changed when a rumor spread-one that twisted his actions and reshaped how everyone saw him. His closest friend, Colin, was at the center of it, turning whispers into wildfire. No legal charges were ever made, but the damage was done. Emerson lost everything-his friends, his reputation, and, in some ways, even himself.
Now, three years later, he's different. Quieter. Colder. The past lingers in his mind like a shadow that never fades. But it's not just his own thoughts that haunt him. A voice-soft, insidious-has taken root, whispering to him in the quiet moments. It feeds on his anger, his uncertainty, gently pushing him toward something he isn't sure he wants to become.
As the world moves on without him, Emerson is left with a question that won't leave him alone: Was he wronged, or is there truth in the version of himself that everyone believes?

Psychopath [solangelo au]
Nico has lived with that term all his life. Psychopath. He knew it was muttered behind his back when he walked through school. Thats how the world saw him. The boy who hears voices, the guy who talks to himself. Everyone defined him by his mental illness, and no one had ever bothered to know him. The word wasn't even accurate. Having schizophrenia was a pain sometimes, but it didn't mean Nico was crazy, even if the voices told him he was. The real ones, and the ones in his mind. The only person he could ever consider a friend would be his psychologist (aka his therapist), Jenny, who he had grown a strong connection with over the 4 years he had been going to see her. He didn't trust anyone else. Nico knew that no one would look past it all like she does. That is, until Will Solace enters the picture, the happy go lucky college student striving to be a therapist. What could go wrong? . This is a solangelo fan fiction and will have swearing, mental illnesses and there may be triggering moments that will have warnings. I will hopefully capture Nico's point of view accurately, and what he his going through, but I have never experienced schizophrenia so it may not be perfect. . Kinda going through editing? This story has mature themes including drinking, drugs, cursing and mentions of self harm, mentions of eating disorders, and panic attacks. #1 #schizophrenia may 31, 2021 #1 #diangelo November 28, 2021Complete

One Dark Fate The Battle Of Survival ||Kth ff|| Mafiya A/U
**"And Suddenly, All Her Demons Fell Silent on His Lap"** *"You would be the ruin of me, wouldn't you?" she asked, her voice trembling, a crack in her cold façade.* *"Yes," he answered, his gaze steady. "Does that scare you?"* Once the heartthrob of millions, Kim Taehyung's world turned into a living nightmare. Death threats from the shadows dragged him and his bandmates from the dazzling stage lights into a darkness they never saw coming. What began as a sinister game of survival thrust Taehyung into a realm of chaos-a world of cold steel, gunpowder, and blood-soaked vengeance. There, he met her. Venom. A name that sent chills through the underworld. Ruthless, unrelenting, and devoid of emotion, she was a monster who thrived on fear and destruction. Her rule was simple: *Never love. Love makes you weak. Love kills.* She had made herself a weapon, unyielding to everything and everyone-until she met him. What began as a fleeting encounter under the Paris rain spiraled into a collision of two worlds that should have never crossed. For the first time, Venom's dead heart betrayed her. His light was too blinding, his purity too tempting, and his presence too dangerous. Taehyung yearned to unravel her secrets, to embrace the darkness she embodied. And Venom? She wanted nothing more than to destroy the feelings that tethered her to him. But love isn't soft. It's a war-a brutal, fiery dance where every step drags them closer to ruin. *"Tell me every terrible thing you've ever done,"* he whispered, his voice trembling with a raw tenderness that pierced her armor. *"And let me love you anyway."* For him, she was worth burning the world to the ground. For her, loving him was the one sin she couldn't forgive herself for. In a world where enemies lurked in every shadow and death was a constant companion, their love became the most dangerous game of all. This is not your typical romance. It's raw. It's violent. It's love in the midst of war.![M I N E [MINSUNG]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/232092849-256-k730252.jpg)
