Lorelai Wayne was born of a secret, raised in the shadows of Gotham, and buried under the weight of a last name she never asked for. Tattoos cover the scars she won't talk about. Bruises come and go. Weed keeps the silence quiet.
When Gotham nearly breaks her, it's Damian who drags her out-straight to Titans Tower, where she's supposed to "get better." She's not interested. She's not healing. She's not staying.
But Raven sees through her walls. Gar makes her laugh when nothing else does. And in a tower full of people just as broken as she is, Lorelai starts to breathe again. Eat again. Speak again.
She didn't plan on falling into something like love. She didn't expect to choose not to fight. And she definitely didn't expect cuddle piles, chaotic Titans, and a second chance.
Gotham was killing her.
The Tower is keeping her alive.

Safe With You
Ivy never expected to fall for her brother's best friend-especially not after everything she'd been through. Shipped off to live with the father who never wanted her, Ivy spent years learning how to survive. But when she returned home broken and bruised, it wasn't her family who saved her. It was Tyler. Her protector. Her safe place. Her Daddy. Now living under the same roof, Ivy and Tyler navigate a fragile, healing love rooted in deep trust and the softest, sweetest version of dominance and submission. Tyler gives Ivy everything she never knew she needed: gentle rules, bedtime snuggles, and unconditional care. In return, she gives him her heart-and her whole self. But the past never stays buried. When a ghost from their history reappears, it threatens everything they've built. Together, they'll face old scars, reclaim their power, and prove that love-especially the kind that's chosen every single day-is the most healing force of all.Complete

He calls her unworthy and she can't help to feel that it's true. Bruce wants him to distract Valarie,even if that means getting up close and personal. He never saw Valarie as someone who would interest him but she did. Valarie never saw him as someone who would change her, but he did. "You're...sorta amazing." Valarie says with a small grin. "Is that a compliment?" Damian asks with a smirk plastered on his face. Licking her lips she looks down and brushes some of her hair behind her ear. A warm fingertip touched her chin and Valarie jumped a bit. Her heart pounded against her chest as she looked up into those bright green eyes. "More of..." She stuttered, "an observation." **NEEDS MAJOR EDITING! This is an OLD FIC* (sequel; STAND) TRAILER BELOW https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RfpEP96GxSLLzwcY_b1-MRwa_Sn4yGt2/viewComplete

Bed of Lies
They broke her trust. They broke his mind. Now the past is back-and this time, it wants blood. Victoria learned early how to survive in silence. Grief became her shadow. Guilt, her constant companion. Because if she had died that night instead of her mother... maybe everything would have been different. But the past doesn't stay buried, and when it drags her back into a world she barely escaped, silence won't save her anymore. Xavier learned how to disappear behind scars, rage, and the monster his past made him. A man shaped by violence, and driven by retribution. Victoria was everything he should avoid- soft yet unyielding, broken but still standing. She had the kind of pain that mirrored his own. She saw too much, pushed too far and worst of all, she made him remember something he buried a long time ago. He hated it. Hated her. Because she made him feel. What exists between them isn't gentle. It isn't safe or healing. It destroys. And when the truth comes for them both, they'll have to decide: Run. Burn. Or destroy everything in their path.Complete
