In their world, trauma is a fatal weakness, a vulnerability is a target, and love is the ultimate liability.
Mikhail Volkov is a powerful politician with the government in his pocket and a corporate-mafia empire at his back. To the public, he is an untouchable king ruling from a throne of gold and shadows. Yet behind closed doors, he remains a prisoner of his own crown.
Niko Petrov is an underground street fighter and racer, running from the police on a daily basis and living by his own design. He bows to no authority, surviving on a strict personal code: loyalty is essential for life, and brotherhood is essential for the soul.
When these two opposing forces collide, the delicate balance of the Moscow underground shatters.
As a storm hits the city, the lines blur, the tension thickens, and dangerous secrets begin to unspool.
In a game where every player is a villain, survival demands a devastating price.

Art major Apollo Helios Torres and business student Eujae Nigel Castillo have been clashing with each other since their first day of university. They've been arguing for so long that they both believe there's no chance for them to be in good terms even in another universe.

Is it possible for a person to adore someone they've always disliked? One has to be insane to think that it is. But then again, Fate always manages to create some crazy twist. Content warning: swearing, a few (maybe two or three) sexual innuendos throughout the book, and discussion of certain social issues. Nothing explicit. Nothing that would warrant a change of rating to mature.

WISHBONE: Chords & Collars
Boy meets boy. Boy mocks boy. Boy falls (a little too hard). Dior Max is all sharp edges and smoother fabrics-stylish, strategic, and emotionally unbothered. Or so he pretends. Brix Julian is a walking headache with a guitar: smug, loud, and alarmingly good at sending the wrong message. They argue. They prank. They lock eyes for too long in crowded hallways. It's not flirting-it's war. Obviously. But somewhere between the teasing and tension, Dior starts collecting hope-one red paper heart at a time. Every mixed signal? Folded. Stored. Counted. He'll confess when the jar is full. Because maybe, just maybe, Brix means it. SPOILER ALERT: he doesn't. Turns out the signals were smoke, the crush was one-sided, and the heartbreak? Custom-tailored. Chords vs. Collars. Gloss meets grit. A stylish slow-burn that stings where it shouldn't. Because the cruelest crushes don't break-they hum. ___________// ⚠ gentle heads-up! This story explores sensitive themes such as homophobia, emotional trauma, misunderstandings, and the use of strong language. Please read with care and kindness to yourself. Your heart and well-being matter most. ♡ (Note: This story is currently a work in progress and may include typos or little grammar hiccups. Thank you for your patience and love!) 🧵🎸 just a tiny disclaimer: This story is fictional.
