Faron, an art school dropout, lives his life with a shadow looming over him. After his parents lost their lives in a car crash two years ago, he has lived a life of self seclusion in his parent's cabin in Emerald Lake State Park, Tennessee. He leaves his house as little as possible, often only to drive into town to check his mail.
Faron, consumed by the past, finds himself only breathing by the sheer will to live. With only the vast woods to keep him company, he has no relatives, no friends, and above all else, he can't seem to find the joy in life he once held so dearly. The only constant human interaction he has is with a cheery man who delivers his groceries, and with the memories of his once happy life haunting his dreams, Faron can't seem to escape his imprisonment.
However, his time spent alone in his cabin is coming to an end. With a strange energy in the air, a creature as old as time is born onto the earthly realm, bringing with it the pursuit of an evil just as old and ten times hungrier.
With his life flipped over on its head, Faron has no choice but to adapt.
The question is, will he survive, or will the darkness consume everything in its path.

Bloom in the wake of Ruin ⚣ ✔️
"Excuse me, sir. I think you may have dropped these?" It was the voice I noticed first. Smooth, a little amused, and low enough to draw me out of myself. Then I saw him. Dirty blonde hair that looked like waves crashing down the sides of his face, and freckles like splattered paint across his fair skin. A silver hoop in his nose, another in his brow, both catching the light. And those eyes... electric blue, staring into my green ones with intensity. - After a heartbreaking loss, Killian has spent two years shielding himself from love, or any human contact really-convinced that no one could ever replace the person he lost. Finn, on the other hand, is caught in the throes of a toxic relationship, knowing he's not getting what he deserves but is too scared to walk away. When their paths cross, the spark is undeniable, but both are hesitant, scared of getting too close. Killian fears the pain of loving and losing again, while Finn's relationship has made him lose hope all together-almost. Will they let their pasts define them, or can they find the courage to bloom together in the wake of their ruins?Complete

(bxb) Siren Song of a Savior (Siren x Human)
I had always been taught that humans were cruel creatures with the intent of dominating the Earth. I never thought I'd meet one, let alone form an attachment. "Stay. Please, Collin. I don't want you to go back." He bites his lip, his flat, human teeth digging into the soft flesh. His crystal blue eyes rake over my figure before he entwines his fingers with mine. He nods. I pull our hands to my mouth. "Thank Poseidon. I don't know what I'd do if you left," I murmur. A small, breathtaking smile graces his lips. This quiet, beautiful boy might just be mine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Collin has been ridiculed his whole life because he doesn't speak. Fueled by his traumatic past, he can't bring himself to open his mouth and say a word. One night, after years of ignorance, he'd been invited to a party on the beach. He thought it was the opportunity of his life... that is, until they tied him to a rock to die with the fish. Finn has always been the outcast, the siren that wouldn't eat human flesh. He was always fascinated by the creatures so similar to him that roam on the land.
