Prompt 46:
"We love broken, beautiful people. And it doesn't get more obviously broken and more classically beautiful than you."
People love to call it fate when two lives brush past each other in a crowded city, as if only the universe gets to play matchmaker.
But I know better.
I work in restoration, and I have an eye for broken things that need it. I spend my days saving delicate, ruined things from time, from careless hands, from rot. I know how to scrape away grime without damaging what's underneath. I know how to make the broken look holy again.
Then I see you.
Elias Thorne-quiet grey eyes, and an even quieter presence that tempts me to learn more about you.
You stand in front of blueprints like they're scripture, like you're trying to understand the soul of a building the way I try to understand the soul of a person. And something inside me clicks into place so perfectly it scares me.
That's when I knew. I finally found the missing, broken part of me. I finally found my soulmate.
I'm not here to pass through your story, Elias. I'm here to edit it. To erase what came before and peel away every ghost you still keep tucked behind your ribs-especially the one named Kathy.
And I've already started drawing the version of your life where there's only one name you remember.
Because love can fade. But attachment doesn't. And I'll prove it-I'll Never Leave You.

The Lines We Cross
We all cross lines at some point in our lives. Some small, some big. Some once, others over and over again. Some lead to ruin. Others to something dangerously close to bliss. I crossed some lines. Two weeks. That's all it took. For me to cross lines there would be no coming back from. Lines that changed me, unraveled me, awakened parts of me I thought were long buried, and ones I never knew existed at all. Two weeks. Two men. Endless lines. Will they blur into something blissful or destroy everything I've known? --- When Ava arrived at the cabin with her boyfriend for two weeks of wedding chaos, she expected nerves, a little anxiety, and time to reconnect with the man she thought she wanted. What she didn't expect was them. His older brother. The brother's best friend. Two men- one all control, the other pure chaos- who would blur every boundary, unravel every certainty, and draw out a version of her she's never been brave enough to become. Because some lines, once crossed, don't just change you. They remake you entirely. 18+Complete

Raphael Janvier (41) was the one man Erin Adelman (22) could never have. Older. Married. Untouchable. Once, he had ruffled her hair and laughed at her tantrums. Now, he looks at her like she's a woman-one he has no business wanting. Six years ago, she had been just a girl with braces and a hopeless crush, slipping him a love letter he never acknowledged. Now, she's draped in black silk, lips tinted red, and fully aware of the way his gaze lingers just a second too long. He's here for business, to keep his perfect image intact. To remind her that she is nothing but a memory of innocence. But when she leans in, when she smirks like she knows every wicked thought in his mind, he realizes she isn't a little girl anymore. And worst of all-she knows it. She teases, taunts, gets too close just to watch him pull away. Like she's testing him, waiting for the moment he snaps. Staying away from her might just destroy him. Giving in would be so much worse.
