Ezra will, quite literally, be the death of him. *** Ezra and Silas have been inseparable their entire lives, for better or worse.

After eighteen years of proximity, distance finally exposes the rot. But even then, neither of them can let go. *** A study in codependency with a touch of romance, and no happy ending in sight. CW: graphic violence, blood/gore, harsh depiction of mental illness, sex & strong language

Entwined by Dusk (BL)
WARNING: MATURE CONTENT🔞 "You were mine the moment you tried to understand me, Dimitri-every thought, every breath, bound to me. And no matter how hard you fight it, you'll always crave the darkness I pulled you into." The world watched in collective disbelief as the notorious serial killer, Thanatos, walked into a police station one cool September morning and surrendered. The infamous murderer, whose body count had surpassed a hundred, had brought nations to their knees with fear, causing parents to hold their children closer and cities to lock their doors at night. His sudden surrender was met with a mixture of shock and relief. Finally, the nightmare was over or so the world thought. But the man known as Thanatos, Kian Orlov, did not speak a word following his arrest. His silence was deafening, leaving investigators grasping at straws and the media scrambling for answers. With no confession and no clues, the case threatened to crumble, a shadow of its former terror lingering just beneath the surface. The authorities were desperate, knowing that without answers, the fear could easily return. In a last-ditch effort to crack the case, they called upon the world's most renowned criminal psychologist, Dimitri Romano. Known for his ability to delve into the darkest minds and emerge with the truth, Dimitri had faced monsters of all kinds but never had he encountered a case like this, nor a man like Kian. A criminal and a psychologist. A love story full of possession and power, pain and anguish, infatuation and passion. The borderline between reality and fantasy, between good and evil. What is their love if not forbidden? In the shadows of obsession and sin, their bond is as dangerous as it is inescapable.

His face was set in a glare, his dark hair, messy, as if all he had done to get ready was shake his head around. It was the guy, Adrien, who was separated from Riley's group. He was tall. I was average height, maybe even slightly above average but Adrien towered over me, I had to look up at him. "What fucking right do you have to come to his school." Adrien snarled. He knew. I didn't know him though. • • • warnings: mature themes and violence, drug abuse, mentions of overdose, mentions of sexual assaultComplete
