Johnny Pierce is a self-taught tattoo artist with ink-stained fingers and a past he doesn't talk about. Sol Dawson is a rising fashion designer, all silk seams and sharp ambition, born into a world that never made room for boys like him. But years ago, on the edges of Brooklyn, they collided-two teenagers with too much to carry and nowhere to put it.
Now, years later in Chicago, their worlds cross again. He's built a name from nothing. She's unraveling everything she was told to be. As old sparks reignite and scars resurface, Johnny and Sol are forced to face the question neither dared ask the first time around: Can two people stitched together by the past ever fit into the future?

Where the Reapers Sleep
An MC Romance Leah Stratford wasn't looking for war when she opened her tattoo shop in Falcon Ridge-a weathered town in California where the sun bakes the asphalt, secrets ride shotgun, and danger hums just under the surface. She wanted quiet. A clean slate. What she got was Tyler "Vice" Dawson: cocky, inked, and the dangerously charming Vice President of the Black Reapers MC. Tyler doesn't do feelings. He does loyalty, adrenaline, and one-night stands. But Leah isn't like the girls who chase his cut. She's mouthy, magnetic, and can throw a punch that earns his respect-and his attention. The pull between them is instant, undeniable, and explosive. And it only gets messier when Tyler's world bleeds into hers. As tensions rise between the Black Reapers and their longtime rivals, the Saints, Leah's past returns with a name and a threat that could tear both her and the club apart. With blood on the horizon and her loyalty questioned, Leah must decide if she'll run from the fire-or become the kind of woman who rides straight through it. Because in Falcon Ridge, love isn't safe. It's survival. And nobody sleeps where the Reapers ride.
Uroboro's Mark
"Every beginning was an ending, every kiss a wound-an ouroboros written in flesh." Tokyo, early 2000's. Mari Ara Murata has built her life in ink - carving permanence into the skin of strangers while carrying scars of her own. Bright, talkative, and stubbornly optimistic, she hides a childhood of loss and loneliness behind pink hair and a bright smile. In her world of buzzing needles, late-night manga, and chaotic roommates, tattoos are more than art - they are survival. When Kyo, the elusive vocalist of Dir en grey, steps into her shop, Mari expects nothing more than another client. Instead, she finds herself staring into silence - a silence heavy with shadows that seem to recognize her own. Each tattoo session pulls her closer, blurring the lines between artist and canvas, between protection and vulnerability. But loving someone like Kyo comes at a cost. His world is secretive, harsh, and unforgiving. And once she's marked by him, there's no turning back. Because some scars fade. But others - like love - are permanent.
Nightmoth
•When is a monster not a monster?• •When you're in love with it• "Listen to me," he whispers, his voice clearly clouded with desire, "if you want me to stop, you will not hesitate to say it, understood?" He's the most dangerous thing she's ever known, and the rational part of her wants to stay away. He's brutal. He's scary. And he's someone she definitely should not be messing with. Yet, with every touch, every clench of his jaw and tensing of his muscles, she can't resist the urge to torment him. What she doesn't know: It goes both ways. She's bright. She's brilliant. And she's someone he can't help but be drawn to. Lucky for him, it doesn't look like she wants to stay away. And lucky for her, torment is in his job description. [Warning: Gore, violence and sexual themes] Author's note: This is a slowburn romance, and will probably have you pulling at your hair at times.

"You've crawled under my skin, and I can't shake you off." she realizes the lie they built together might just be the most real thing either of them has ever had. In a love signed on paper but sealed in fire, who breaks first-the man uncapable to feel, or the woman who made him do it anyway?

A Castle in the sky
Quick note for my readers before you start this story. It is going to be taken off and sent off to the editor on the 13th of December 2025. Fern thought marriage meant partnership, love, and the quiet safety of family. For four years she's tried to believe that-tried to ignore the sharp edges of a mother-in-law who never wanted her, an ex who had moved too close for comfort and a husband who is always looking the other way. But when her husband's negligence leaves their little girl in a hospital bed with burns on her hand, Fern can no longer swallow the excuses. She is done being the afterthought in her own marriage. Her husband Conner insists he loves her, but love doesn't keep a child safe. Love doesn't silence a mother-in-law's whispers or stop an ex from poisoning the air of every family gathering. Love isn't enough-not when Fern's entire world has been built on the shaky ground of compromise. And as the fractures in their marriage widen into fault lines, Fern has to face the question she's been afraid to ask- What if walking away is the only way to save herself and her daughter?Complete

OBSESSION. too personal
This could have been a gentle story for quiet autumn evenings. But it shattered against Morphine - a chapter that will not let you stay indifferent. And now, you'll understand why. This is not a story about perfect love. It's about healing through pain, about love that blooms after trauma, and about the fragile line between salvation and obsession. She is a woman rebuilding herself from the ashes. Not strong - simply real. A mother. A fighter. A writer whose words cut deeper than truth itself. She doesn't want to be someone's muse - she only wants to be understood. He is the man the world worships... and fears. A legend. A symbol of an era. But behind the fame, there's a man haunted by his own darkness. Together, they are fire and gasoline - two broken souls learning how to love without losing themselves. Their story isn't a fairytale. It's an age-gap dark romance about redemption, grief, and the courage to love again. With touch. With words. With silence between the lines.Complete
