Genre: Erotic Romance/BDSM AU
Tone: Darkly intimate, psychological, emotionally charged
Chi doesn't believe in safety - not in the way most people do. Haunted by trauma and hollowed out by survival, she lives in silence, craving a kind of pain that feels like control. When she finds a message from two Dominants seeking one submissive to serve them both, her body responds before her mind can rationalize it.
Tristian and Kai don't coddle. They don't compromise. They want everything - her obedience, her submission, her pain. They promise structure, protection, ownership - and the freedom only complete surrender can bring.
What begins as a trial agreement quickly spirals into something deeper, darker, and more honest than any of them expected. For Chi, it's a chance to reclaim her body. For Tristian and Kai, it's a change to break someone beautifully. But in a world of whips, silence, scars, and trust, nothing stays on the surface for long.
Somewhere between pain and care, discipline and devotion, three broken edges begin to fit.
But to belong fully, Chi must be willing to lose everything - including who she used to be.

"Sh..." he murmured, stroking her hair. She nuzzled her face into his hand, eyes closing in bliss from the simple contact.
"You've been a very bad girl, haven't you?"
She nodded immediately. His hands stilled, and her eyes popped open.
"Yes, sir. I'm sorry, sir," she whispered. A tear slid out of her eye.
"Oh sweetheart." He moved forward, wrapping her in his arms. He dropped his face to the top of her head. "We're going to make this right-we're going to make it all better."
(This is a bdsm story with real characters and a real plot. Feel free to squirm at hot and heavy scenes, but at its core, this is a story of redemption. Of real people coming together in love and community.
*Warning* There are themes of abuse here as well as sexual situations. I will say that the main relationship is not abusive. This story does not glorify abusive relationships or sexualize them. The bdsm elements are entirely SSC (safe, sane, and consensual) RACK, PRICK, etc.)
