In the worn down halls of a Brooklyn apartment, two lives cross when they shouldn't.
Shane carries the weight of everyone else's needs, quietly yearning for something more.
Noa is trapped in choices she can't escape, drifting through days that don't feel like hers.
Their connection is immediate, impossible, and dangerous- woven from late night glances, whispered words on fire escapes, and the kind of intimacy that both saves and destroys.
This is not a love story.
This is the story of longing. Of survival. of what happens when two people find, in each other, both the light they crave and the ruin they can't resist.

Welcome to the Neighbourhood
Bucky Barnes x Original Female Character Set shortly after the events of TFATWS, Bucky is back living in Brooklyn when feisty romance writer Dylan Hazel moves into his building and the two are instantly annoyed by one another. Despite writing love stories for a living, Dylan is jaded and unimpressed by relationships - could Bucky change all that, even if he doesn't know it? Classic enemies to lovers, you know the drill. Warnings for eventual smut, a bit of angst/pining, fools who can't admit how they feel. There are also mild references to a previous relationship which hints at emotional abuse.Complete
Polygamy: Flare Arc Part 2
Bright lights, cold lenses, and a contract inked in desperation force Flare into a world she doesn't understand - a world that demands everything she swore she'd never give. But the streets taught her hunger, and hunger makes you dangerous. What should have broken her sparks something else instead: a fire she didn't know she carried, a defiance that even Sam can't ignore. Every scene pulls her further from who she was, and deeper into who she's becoming. The question isn't whether she can survive this world. It's whether this world can survive her.

Haunted || Wenclair
BOTH SEASONS MENTIONED Nevermore Academy has always been a place of secrets, but none as quiet-or as dangerous-as the ones that bloom in the silence between two roommates. One thrives in sunlight, the other seeks comfort in shadows. They are opposites in every possible way, and yet, in late-night conversations, fleeting touches, and words that linger longer than they should, something begins to grow. It's a slow unraveling-an exploration of walls built too high, of signals half-understood, of the fragile thread between devotion and denial. What starts as coincidence becomes a pattern. What begins as comfort turns into tension. And what should have been ordinary friendship refuses to stay in the dark. This is a story about the quiet moments that change everything, and the dangerous beauty of falling for someone you were never supposed to.Complete
Glimpse of Us
"I've carried her in my thoughts for months, haunted by every touch, every laugh, every moment we weren't supposed to share. She's my best friend. She's my addiction. And she's slowly slipping away. Between stolen glances, late-night confessions, and the ghosts of what could have been, I'm learning one thing: some love doesn't wait for the right time - it waits in the spaces between us, impossible to ignore, impossible to let go."
In Between Us
We're not together. But we're not just friends either. Late-night messages. Almost-kisses. Unspoken feelings hidden behind casual conversations and coffee shop meetups. They never defined what they were-because definitions meant boundaries, and boundaries meant limitations. So they kept it simple. No labels. No promises. Just a connection that felt too real to be nothing... and too fragile to be something. But when emotions get too loud to ignore, and hearts begin to want more-what happens in between us can either bring them closer, or tear them apart. A modern love story about almost, uncertainties, and the kind of heartbreak you can't name.Complete
