Springtide. A word carrying two meanings.
It is the time when the tides grow strongest. When sun, moon, and earth fall into a rare alignment and their invisible pull is rising the oceans waters higher than usual. When shores disappear beneath the swelling sea, washing all stains of the past away in one furious motion.
It is also the first, soft breath of spring after a long winter. A stirring of live starting a shift in an eternal, icy stillness and a feeling of light and warmth setting upon frozen earth and bringing renewal and color back into the world.

Marcus Volturi is supposed to live and die in tragic fate. Sadness, pain and longing for his one and only true love and mate Didyme are supposed to end his story.
Well... until Thalia - Gen Z, law student, girliepop, and most importantly: his world greatest fan - dies (an absolutely heroic death) and gets reincarnated into the world of the „twilight"-novels.
Sure, it takes her some time until she finds out, where the infamous reincarnation truck got her to.
And yes, starting live somewhere in the 80s, without proper internet and this war crime they call fashion is everything but easy.
Not talking about hitting puberty (again) and finding out investing in Apple is hard as a minor (even if you have the mind of an adult) or blackmailing Laurent into giving her the fucking vampire bite.
But Tilly makes it her new live goal to save her favorite, restore his joy, make him ruler over Volterra, and getting revenge on everyone that wronged him (hello Aro and Caius).
Nobody could foretell that she would end up accidentally marrying him in the process. But hey, that only gives her a better opinion to achieve her goal!
Surely Marcus would never fall in love with his new, determined wife and finding his light again in her, right?
...Right?
"The Hacker and the Mob Boss" ❦
Reyna Fields seems to be an ordinary girl with her thick-framed glasses, baggy clothes, hair always up in a ponytail, and her head tucked away behind a computer screen. However, no one knows she's armed with a genius IQ and a heart of gold. She hacks her way into virtual systems on a search for her mother.
Unfortunately for her, she has hacked into the wrong database. She hacked into the database of the notorious mob boss, Santino "Saint" Venturi.
Saint is the opposite of his name. He's known for his ruthlessness. As a mob boss to a mafia, he learned to eat or be eaten. When Reyna stumbles upon his database, a plan dispersed into his mind. He's going to take her.

"I don't share, angel."
"He's a friend," she found herself saying. Dante was too busy staring at her to notice the fiery glare in Saint's eyes. She was mentally praying that Dante would just look away.
His fingers trailed up her leg before his hand latched onto her sex. He held her there while a small gasp left her lips. "I will fuck you on this table if he doesn't stop looking at what belongs to me."
