Mission after mission, Leon has carried out his duty. But every time he returns, the world feels more distant-like a place he can no longer belong to. He once accepted this life as inevitable, but now-after everything he has endured-he wonders if there is still a chance for him to be normal again.
Yet, the weight on his shoulders never truly fades. Guilt clings to him, wounds from the past refuse to heal, and nightmares never cease. He wants to stop, but the world won't let him. And amid his growing exhaustion, he senses something else-something unseen, yet always present.
Someone is watching him.
Leon knows it, but whenever he searches, the presence vanishes, slipping away like a shadow beyond his reach. Is it just his mind playing tricks on him, worn down by too many sleepless nights? Or is there truly someone lurking just out of sight?
And when his body bears the weight of unseen wounds, when his soul teeters on the edge of breaking-he finally sees him. Those eyes, the gaze that had always watched from the darkness, can no longer look away.
For the first time in a long time, Leon is no longer alone.

This is the first fanfic I wrote myself, I used Ai as the editor because I'm not good at composing words. But don't worry, most of the writing is my own. I only use Ai to improve my limited vocabulary. Thank you for reading my story and please vote if you like it.
I changed some things in this story because I felt something was missing, but the essence of the story remains the same.

Stuck Like Glue
(Resident Evil fanfic~ Leon x male! Reader) :I do not own any of the RE characters, I only own the story and what goes on within.: You grew up in these halls, from years upon years of exploring the familiar corridors, only one thing was really different from all those previous times. That would be the blood that was splattered on various parts of the walls and floor, and the ceiling for some odd reason that you didn't know. Now you walked, fearing the very people you used to call family. Family. What an odd thing you had then, you never realized the true behavior until HE showed up. That man with the short dirty blonde hair and his comrades. Now you were trapped between two factions, good or evil. Would you stay in line with your mindless family of undead corpses that littered the once shining halls? Or will you fight for the other side against them? Or perhaps, there's something lurking that takes root. ~Read to find out~Complete

18+ Due to explicit content! Back again for my fifth book writing about this fictional man because apparently no matter how many times I begin to think my RE obsession is fading, Leon seems to pop up when I most need him. This book includes imagines with fluff, angst and the occasional smut. ⚠️Requests are currently CLOSED⚠️
Only With You
A life with Noh by his side, that's how Phun imagine his life would be. A clinic of his own, their very own restobar where Noh and his band could jam, a cozy house by the sea and waking up with each other every single breathing day...that's how life should be. But...fate came in with a different plan. And just like a thief in the night, it took his beloved Noh away. Left alone in this world, will love ever come again? Will heaven be kind enough to give a miracle to an abandoned soul? Will there be someone to save him? This is my first fanfic so please be kind.

Universe
Pushing off the sink in irritation, I turn to leave but he grabs my bare upper arm. My blood boils in annoyance while my skin tingles with excitement. He perks a brow, obviously sensing it. "Your aura is in disarray," he states bleakly. "Yeah, no shit Sherlock." My Earthly phrase earns me a tilt of his head and I scoff. "Where have you been, Beta?" "On a mission in the Xin Galaxy." "Okay? Would it not be wise to inform your OA of any missions that require your departure? Let go." I pull against his grip and he reluctantly lets go. "Yes, however, this mission did not require your presence nor your opinion," he replies candidly. My eye twitches and wordlessly, I turn away once more but his grip on my arm returns, this time more gentle, as if pleading rather than restraining. "I only meant that this mission did not require you to accompany me as my OA in pretence. It's safer to stay with your younglings out of sight anytime the role is not needed," his voice softer. "You disappeared after you..." I pause and shake my head. I feel embarrassed to say it out loud to him. I feel embarrassed at how much it affected me. "After I kissed you," he finishes for me, the silence following the words adds to the thickness growing in the air. _____ Wrongly accused of being a rebel conspiring against supernatural beings, whom she never thought existed outside of her world of anime fiction, a nightmare plagued Lyla becomes a wanted fugitive. she and her two young children are forced into hiding in a foreign yet beautiful world thousands of galaxies away from Earth to escape her death sentence.

In Shadows of Night
I woke to a sudden breeze invading the warmth from the heavy blanket that caressed my skin. Here, alone with my thoughts, the still, calm quiet in the atmosphere is almost painful. I feel suffocated in the clingy, static air. In quiet, still moments like these, I can almost feel Him. I don't know who "Him" is, but I can feel his presence. It's almost calming, especially on fearful, anxiety fueled nights. Usually, he was the strongest when I had a nightmare. The nightmares weren't as common now, but, right after everything happened, I was having them every night. I'd wake up and swear I was drenched in blood, my eyes and lips sticky, my nose filled with the smell of iron and fuel. After everything, that's when Him first came. From there, he just never left. I can usually sense when Him is near. Today, though, his presence is stronger. I can almost feel Him next to me, weighing down the mattress. Some nights, I roll over and imagine how he looks, envision his smile or the sparkle in his eyes. He's never there and I'm left clutching to the thought that he exists, staring into empty air. Tonight, though, I swear I can reach out and touch him. Extending my hand gently, I sweep my hand out into the darkness and meet an inexplicable warmth. A scream rips from my lungs as hands cover my face and two icy blue eyes stare back at me, daring me to speak again. A soft cloth caressed my nose and mouth before I felt myself fade into bed.
