Born in silence. Shaped by pain. Bound to the will of gods.
On June 5th, 1917, beneath the thunder of a Parisian storm, a child was born without a cry...his skin pale as porcelain, his eye wounded and weeping blood. They called him Damage Doll. Cursed from birth, molded by abuse, and discarded by the world, he became a man who could not feel... yet could not die.
In a world ruled by a celestial government, where angels, demons, and gods operate behind human history, D.D. is marked as an anomaly. Too intelligent. Too quiet. Immortal by divine punishment, he moves through decades seeking purpose, perfection, and belonging, only to be broken again and again by those he trusts most.
D.D.'s journey is not one of heroism, but of survival, and the cost of becoming human in a world that refuses to let him be.
This is not a tale of light and triumph. This is a hymn for the cursed.

The Darkness of Love
by littlekitten0925 She was a quiet storm, breaking within her own silence. He was winter's breath-cold, untouchable, hiding a thousand sins. Two souls carrying shadows, colliding in a world of crime and consequence. Hate was their language, but love... their most dangerous secret. In the darkness, where trust bleeds and hearts betray, can broken pieces find a way to fit- or will love destroy what little remains of them?
Echo
He was never supposed to be a voice. They wanted an Echo-silent, compliant, nothing more than a reflection of their design. But the boy they tried to unmake listened too closely. Learned too much. Refused too deeply. Answering a call he never understood, Echo stepped into a world that demanded he forget himself to survive. He didn't. Instead, he grew teeth. Chose war over obedience. Chose love over chains. Now, freedom costs blood, survival demands brutality, and devotion sharpens into something sacred and savage. He is not their Echo. He is his own. And he will never be silent again.Complete
Ocean Orbs
He was the silent prince of her chaos. She was the unexpected melody in his mute life. She fell for the eyes he desperately hid. He loved the girl who didn't know his identity.To her, they were the calm ocean amidst the chaos. To him, they were a painful mistake. A tragic marriage history of her sister made her hate love. Engineering success was her only future. Expectations bound her. A scholar who was tired of speaking. A prince who was unable to speak. Their silent gaze made them want to speak again. Their shared silence became their only connection. Her voice was ignored. His was broken. The only thing louder than their silence was the truth behind their unspoken stare. She chose silence because no one listened. He chose silence because he lost his voice. Could they hear the truth in each other's eyes?

When two parents in Russia begin to worry about their quiet son, they tell themselves it is nothing. Boys speak late sometimes. Some children are simply shy. But in the late 1940s, silence feels heavier than it should. Though he was not quiet by choice, perhaps it was safer that way. In a time when neighbors listened through walls and governments listened through wires, many preferred silence over sound. So when they hear of a man, a "miracle doctor," they call him one who specializes in children who are "lacking," and they allow themselves hope. Five months later, hope returned, with a black case delivered to their door. It is filled with money. Their son is gone And on top rests a single note. "Thank you."
