Exiled. Hunted. Alone.
Gruul never expected to survive outside his warband, let alone be mistaken for a mercenary hero by a desperate human town. With a brutal past he can't outrun and enemies closing in from every side, Gruul faces a choice: embrace the monster they think he is-or become something more.
Thrown into political games, border raids, and the slow-burning trust of a people who fear what he is, Gruul carves a place not just with his axe-but with unexpected loyalty.
He didn't come looking to be a savior.
He just wanted to be left alone.
But in a broken world, sometimes the last one standing is the only one who can lead.

UNTIL WE BURN Taekook
Two empires. Two heirs. One marriage they never asked for- and a love neither expected. Taehyung is Seoul's perfect prince-cold, poised, and raised to be untouchable. Jungkook is Busan's shattered heir - a beautiful mess of pain, addiction, and a love he was forced to leave behind. Their union is written in ink and duty, not desire. A marriage forged to end a war, not start a love story. But under the weight of tradition and a shared silence, something begins to bloom-soft, slow, and impossible to ignore. In stolen glances and quiet nights, in the spaces where pain meets comfort, they begin to find each other. And in a world that punishes love as weakness, what grows between them feels dangerously close to rebellion. This wasn't meant to be a love story. But some hearts were made to collide. And some flames were born to burn forever.

Everything was fine until Taehyung was forced to marry a boy he didn't know, leaving his past love, Jeongguk, to struggle alone. After eight years, Jeongguk became the very thing Taehyung had always feared-a dangerous gangster. Jeon jungkook , a 28-year-old gangster, is attractive, intelligent, obnoxious, and conceited. Despite his rough exterior, his heart belongs entirely to Taehyung, his one and only family. jungkook can't imagine a single moment without Taehyung, his true love. Taehyung, 26 years old, is beautiful, attractive, smart, and a sweetheart. Although jungkook is his first priority, his loyalty to his father holds a powerful influence over him. The fear of his father is the greatest enemy of their love, driving a wedge between them and forcing Taehyung to make choices that break both their hearts.. **** Everyone was cheering for the newlyweds, but the fury in jungkook's eyes was unmistakable. His gaze was fixed on the couple as they kissed, and he clenched the glass in his hand so tightly it shattered. The sharp pain in his hand was nothing compared to the agony in his heart. Watching the love of his life marry someone else tore his heart into a million pieces. "You have to forget me, Kook," Taehyung had whispered as he kissed jungkook for the last time that night. jungkook's heart broke all over again as he remembered those words, feeling the cold finality of that kiss. His love, his everything, was slipping away, and there was nothing he could do to stop it. **** It's not a story of revenge; it's about a second chance.

I loved a hero, a man who everyone saw as only good. Then one day I was stolen away by a man everyone believed was consumed by darkness. The enemy of the one I had stood by for so long, and one no one wished to meet. Yet slowly pulled me out of the darkness the hero's shadow had left me in. { I do not own any of the art work, all credit goes to the artists}Complete
Victims of a Brutal Reprise
The war is over. The world moved on. But Abital wasn't supposed to survive. He was built for war, abandoned to die, and left to fade into the background of a world rebuilt on lies. Now, he walks among the living as a ghost; hiding a power that could change everything, as he suppresses a past that refuses to stay buried. Living in hiding, stripped of family and purpose, he tries to disappear into the cracks of Dresden: until a voice starts speaking in his head. When Abital learns he may not be the last of his kind, he's forced to make a choice: keep hiding, or step into the light and reclaim what was stolen. But nothing is simple. Every alliance costs something. Every truth is stained with blood. And every person, friend or enemy, carries their own brand of cruelty. "Victims of a Brutal Reprise" is a story about power, identity, and the things people will do when survival is on the line. A tale about what happens when morality breaks, and the monsters don't look like monsters at all. [On hiatus]

He used to be the monster who hurt me. Now he's the man who guards me from the world and from himself. But kindness cuts deeper than cruelty when you don't believe you deserve it. And I can't tell if he's saving me...or atoning for the fact that he's the one who broke me first.

Starry eyes sparking up my darkest night (Scar x Grian)
Grian knew a lot of things. He knew how to cook for a crew of 60 people. He knew how to clean and scrub the deck until his arms went numb. He knew how to avoid being the crew's punching bag for the night. He knew when to shut up and do what he was told. But most importantly - he knew not to hope. Because hoping hurts. So when a battle ends and an unfamiliar man steps into the kitchen, grinning at him like he's not just another piece of plunder, Grian doesn't know how to react. And when he's led onto the deck to meet the pirate captain - the man who now holds his fate in his hands - he braces himself for another cage. Instead, he's met with curiosity. Freedom. A handshake, instead of shackles. And, for the first time in years, a dangerous flicker of something he told himself he'd never feel again. Hope. or; A captured avian, a pirate crew, and a freedom he never dared to hope for (crossposted with permission from ao3)Complete
