Rwby : Ruby x Male Reader, The X-FACTOR
Vengeance made him a weapon. Love made him human. Tragedy made him something else entirely. Haunted by the brutal murder of his parents at the hands of Roman Torchwick, you've spent your life walking a path paved with blood. Feared for the dark, uncontrollable power that lives within you, the world has cast you aside-hated, lied to, and left to burn in your own rage. But fate has other plans. Everything changes when you meet her-a red-haired girl with a warrior's strength and a heart full of light. She sees something in you that no one else ever dared to: hope. With her, you begin to believe there's more to life than revenge. That maybe, just maybe, you can be saved. But happiness is short-lived in a world built on shattered dreams. As love turns to loss and light gives way to darkness, you're forced to confront the true nature of your power-and the man you're becoming. Will you rise above the pain, or become the very monster they always feared? I do not own RWBY the original owner is the company Rooster Teeth however This story belongs to me
Little Light (GxG)
In a world that moves too fast, she's learning to breathe slowly. To feel again. To let someone touch the parts of her she thought were long gone. There are no crowns here. No thrones. Just the quiet war of learning how to be held without flinching. She doesn't beg for safety. She creates it in silence. And when she kneels, it's not for weakness- it's because she trusts. But trust has a pulse. And it just might be hers. A story of shadows softened by light, of control given, not taken. Of healing whispered through touch, and love written in silence. This isn't where the pain begins. It's where it learns to rest. ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ : EMOTIONAL INTIMACY SUBSPACE SLOW-BURN HEALING TRIGGERING THEMES (VULNERABILITY, TRUST, PAST TRAUMA) 🔴 Tops: 🔴 1.
