Niamh Lynches world fell apart the day her sister Nora died. Left with the grief of losing her sibling and the weight of secrets too heavy to carry, Niamh retreats into herself, unable to find solace in the broken pieces of her family. As her parents struggle to hold their lives together, Niamh pushes away the only person who's ever understood her.

Liam has been a constant in Niamh's life since they were kids-her best friend, her anchor in a world that's falling apart. But since Nora's death, Niamh has pulled away, unable to face the pain of losing her sister, and terrified of letting anyone in again. The walls she's built around herself only grow higher as she wrestles with the trauma that lingers in the shadows.

Liam, however, isn't easily shaken. He's seen Niamh at her best and worst, and he's always been there. But as Niamh pushes him further away, he begins to question how much longer he can stay-how much longer he can be there for her when she refuses to let him in. In a world filled with confusion and heartache, their bond is tested, and Niamh's journey toward healing becomes more complicated than she ever imagined.

In the Wake of Silence is a deeply emotional story of love, trauma, and the struggle to reclaim a life that's been shattered. It's a powerful exploration of how we heal-or don't-from the wounds that refuse to fade.

Unravelling You - Boys Of Tommen by Hlibrary____
48 parts Complete Mature
Leah was lucky. After a lifetime of poverty, her and her mother were saved. She had new clothes, a new house, a fancy new school, a new step father, and everything she had ever lacked. But as it too often is, everything was too good to be true. Yes, her private school uniform is pristine but the bruises that lie underneath tell a different story. But she can hide it, she just has to get through this year, and then she can be free, but everything starts to unravel when she meets a boy. At age twelve, Tadhg was saved. He got out of that haunted house. He had adoptive parents that adored him, his siblings were happy, and he was finally safe. So why did he still feel this way? Why was he still on edge after all these years? He should be thriving like his brothers and his sister, and yet he wasn't. He was numb to it all, until he met her. She unraveled him. This is a Boys of Tommen fan fiction, following Tadhg Lynch and Leah Daly. This story is the third instalment in my 'Boys of Tommen You Series' and is connected to my other two stories, 'Seeing You' and 'Haunting You' but are not required to read before this one. Also I'll start updating this story once I finish 'Haunting You' All of these characters belong to Chloe Walsh, I do not claim any of them as my own, this is purely for fun. As there is not much information surrounding Tadhg and Leah's story, I won't be following any canon, and Leah's story will be entirely created by me. TW: This story will include character death(flashbacks), domestic abuse, child abuse, sexual abuse, drug addiction, smoking, mental illnesses and overall a lot of trauma. There will also be some explicit scenes that are 16+. I will however be putting specific warnings for different chapters, so you can avoid triggers. Thank you so much for reading and I hope you enjoy! (Comment any questions or suggestions that you have for me)

𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐁𝐇À𝐍 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐎𝐍 is used to blending in. She's the girl with ink on her fingers and headphones always around her neck, the quiet type who prefers comic books and coding to crowded parties. With divorced parents and a split life between two houses, she's learned to stay steady on her own. At Tommen, she's known more for her brains than her presence, until she's assigned to tutor 𝐑𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐊𝐀𝐕𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐀𝐇. Rory is everything Siobhán isn't. The golden boy. The all-smiles Kavanagh. Charming, popular, and seemingly untouchable, he carries the weight of expectation with a grin that fools everyone. Everyone except her. Beneath the grin, she sees the cracks, an anxious boy trying to hold it all together, desperate not to let anyone down. What starts as awkward tutoring sessions turns into something deeper: stolen laughs, late-night conversations, and an unexpected tether between two people who never thought they'd collide. But when rumours swirl and Rory's carefully built mask begins to crumble, Siobhán has to decide if she can step out of the shadows to stand beside him, or risk losing the boy who finally made her feel seen. ‿̩͙⊱༒︎༻♱༺༒︎⊰‿̩͙ This is a fanfiction based on the Boys of Tommen series by Chloe Walsh. All original characters, storylines, and settings from the series belong entirely to her.

NAVIGATING 5 - tadgh lynch by lollerwaller
30 parts Complete Mature
Together through thick and thin since senior infants, Tadgh and Lilibeth are inseparable. What happens when the truth comes out and all of their heavily packed trauma and secrets come out? Will their friendship survive? This is a slow burn. I think I'm going to make another book after this one, and they might not even get together in this book. If they do there will be NO SMUT. Tadgh and Lilibeth are 6-12 in this book, and i don't feel comfortable writing about that stuff when their minors, that being said, keep in mind that for this book Lilibeth and Tadgh are TWELVE. This book is based in 1999-2005, and they aren't 18 until 2011, so womp womp. Most of the storyline belongs entirely to Chloe Walsh, apart from Lilibeth's backstory. All characters apart from Lilibeth, Annalise, Adam and Lilibeth's parents also belong to Chloe Walsh. This whole story is fictional, and any resemblance to people in real life, living or dead, is entirely coincidental. There will be mentions of SA, domestic abuse, drugs, etc. If you don't like or are uncomfortable with the topic, I would not recommend this book. ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴍᴇɴᴛᴀʟ ʜᴇᴀʟᴛʜ ᴍᴀᴛᴛᴇʀꜱ. There wont be trigger warnings at the beginning of chapters.

RECLAIMING 4 || TADHG LYNCH X LEAH DALY

55 parts Ongoing

IN WHICH: TADHG LYNCH X LEAH DALY Tadhg Lynch is a boy lost in borrowed belonging, drowning in sleepless nights, too-tight blazers, and the kind of silence that presses on your chest like a stone. He survives by vanishing, one grade, one breath, one heartbeat at a time. Leah Daly is a ghost in her own life, perfect on paper, hollow beneath. Grief built her a cage, and her father locked the door behind her when her mother died. They were never meant to meet, let alone matter to each other. But in the wreckage of everything they can't say, they find something like peace, sharp-edged, forbidden, and quietly life-saving. Started: June 5th, 2025 ‼️Y'ALL I'VE WRITTEN "TADGH" INSTEAD OF "TADHG" THROUGHOUT ACT 1 AND ACT 2 I'M SORRY
