Jenn never meant to fall for V - the quiet, guarded boy who seemed to understand her without ever asking.
Between late nights, missed chances, and the songs that said everything they couldn't, something real began to grow.
But life pulled them apart before they could even begin, leaving only distance, silence, and a promise of a date that never happened.
Now, after months away, Jenn is back - but V is gone.
And the space between them has never felt wider.
*** I know the title picture doesn't give Vessel the right mask. I created it with AI, and it took forever for it to get even a little close to him. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy the story.

Ashes To Sleep
Ash Morrigan never believed in gods, let alone ones that fed on dreams. But when sleep becomes a battlefield and her body begins to slip between worlds, she learns the truth: she is the last living key to an ancient curse-a soul tethered to the Realm of Sleep, where gods are real, monsters are memories, and every desire has a price. Vessel, the masked emissary of the god Sleep, is sent to retrieve her. He is not supposed to feel. He is not supposed to want. But Ash awakens something in him that even divinity cannot suppress. As he guides her deeper into the shifting, myth-soaked lands of dreams, desire spirals into obsession. Together, they face ancient creatures, gods of decay and hunger, celestial courts, and fragments of Ash's own forgotten past. Her body becomes a temple, a weapon, and a battleground-craved by darkness, haunted by loss, and worshipped by Vessel with savage reverence. But Ash was never meant to survive the journey. She was meant to be sacrificed. And Vessel was meant to deliver her. Unless love ruins everything.Complete

Cleanse Me with Pleasure
As usual, Vessel was petrified. You'd think since he'd been a musician for all his adult life, and the lead singer and composer for his band for years he wouldn't get stage fright anymore. But you'd be wrong. He does. Every. Single. Night. There's only one thing that helps. Well, one act, three people. Sex. With them, his bandmates. II, III and IV. Notes: there is no mention of band member's names or real identities in this fic. There is definitely smut. Polyvessels (eventually). I'm not 100% how long this fic will go on for, but I have a few more ideas for hopefully around 10 chapters so far and more may come as I go along.

Vessel's Beginning
THIS IS AI GENERATED BASED OFF THE SONG LYRICS. ONE: Sleep seduces Vessel, offering solace from past mistakes but initiating a toxic, manipulative relationship. Vessel succumbs, believing Sleep to be his only escape from guilt. However, Sleep exploits Vessel's vulnerability, gaslighting him into dependence. TWO: Vessel attempts to prove devotion to Sleep, even committing violent acts against his past lover, Eden. Sleep, satisfied, tightens its grip, while Vessel begins to reflect on his actions and toxic entanglement. JAWS: Vessel fully offers himself to Sleep, conflating self-destruction with love. His sense of agency erodes, though moments of clarity spark internal conflict. SUNDOWNING: Vessel oscillates between romanticizing his relationship with Sleep and recognizing its destructive nature. Despite doubts, he clings to the connection, increasingly aware of how much he has lost of himself.Complete

Until the Stars Knew Us
Some love stories begin with a spark. Theirs began with silence, distance, and the invisible pull of fate. Nova never believed in fairytales - until she met Hunter, the boy who felt like he had stepped straight out of one. With him, every moment was softer, every word heavier, every touch unforgettable. He wasn't just a dream; he was the answer to prayers she never dared to say out loud. But love like this isn't simple. It's fragile, tested by time, by fear, by the world outside their own. And yet, no matter how far they drifted, something always pulled them back - as if the universe itself refused to let go of what was meant to be. Because some bonds are unbreakable. Some hearts are stitched together long before they meet. And some stories... wait for the stars to finally recognize them. This is their story - of love, of longing, of a forever that was written long before they knew it themselves.
Silent Flames - Bloodline II
The problem with Janggi was that sometimes, silence was deadlier than war. Park Jimin had always lived between two worlds- the warmth of dance and the cold shadow of his nightmares. He spent years convincing himself he could outrun fate. But fate had a name. Jeon. The marriage contract had been signed long before Jimin even understood what it meant to belong to someone. He was just a dancer. Soft-spoken. Graceful. Unassuming. And Yoongi? Yoongi was the storm people didn't survive. Jimin should have been terrified. But when Yoongi slid the ring onto his finger with quiet finality, he felt something worse than fear- curiosity. Yoongi never promised love. He promised protection - cold, calculated, and absolute. A man who played with fire, yet never let it touch him. When he looked at Jimin, it wasn't as a husband might. It was as if he were a piece on a board - Something to move, to control, to win. "You don't love me," Jimin murmured, testing the weight of his new reality. Yoongi's lips curled into something sharp. "Love isn't the game I play." Jimin tilted his head. "Then what do you want from me?" Yoongi's fingers brushed against his wristlight, cold, inescapable. "Everything." ----------------------------------- Themes: Mafia | Survival in Silence | Power Struggles | Omegaverse | Emotional Repression | Healing Tropes: - Mafia x Dancer - Forced Marriage / Marriage of Convenience - Cold, Emotionally Distant Alpha - Soft, Resilient Omega - Forced Proximity - Slow Burn - Strangers to Lovers - Morally Grey Top - Healing Through Love Important Notice: Silent Flames is NOT a standalone is part of an interconnected trilogy.
