Alessandra has never believed in safety. Life never gave her a reason to. Pain carved her childhood, silence became her armor, and trust? That was a luxury she could never afford. So when she runs -- bloody, broken, and barely breathing, she doesn't expect saving. She certainly doesn't expect to be taken in by a family dripping in wealth and power and. . . warmth? A mother who refuses to give up on her. A father who watches like he's waiting for her to let him in. And six brothers. Rough. Protective. Complicated. Brothers, who don't know what to do with a sister who won't speak. She doesn't know how to trust. How to believe that maybe not everyone wants to hurt her. Every instinct tells her to run. To shut down. But they don't let her go. Not when she flinches. Not when she hides. Not even when she breaks. Happiness is for other people, or that's what she believes. But when love comes wrapped in gentle patience and fierce protection, when hands reach for her without demand, when hearts break themselves wide open just to hold her... she starts to wonder. Can a girl stitched together with silence and fear ever belong in a family built on love? Can she stand tall when the ghosts of her past refuse to let go? And when danger claws its way back into her life, threatening everything she's come to know... will she find her voice, or will she shatter all over again? Trigger Warnings: Child abuse. Violence. Addiction. Panic attacks. SA. Self-harm. Death, and more.

Luca Romano isn't sure about much, but he knows one thing: he's been surviving on autopilot for years.

And when the silence gets too loud, he turns to the one thing that numbs it-until even that stops working. ---------- Book two of the "Stay With Me" series.

"he had really short hair, almost like a buzz cut I think" she was squealing at this point. "and he had a tattoo of a bird on his neck, I definitely killed that bird with how hard I was sucking on it" her jaw drops open. "what was his name?" at this I pause, remembering how he coached me to moan it.

Emilia had always known exactly who she would become. The stage. The lights. The flawless precision of every movement. A life measured out to the millimeter. The future felt carved in stone. Until one sentence from a doctor broke it. A brain tumor. The end of her career. A body that rises up against its owner and begins to live by its own unpredictable rules. Judy's life - the childhood friend with whom she once shared dreams of the big stage - is also collapsing, though along an entirely different path. Addiction. Impulsive decisions that promised freedom but delivered only another kind of cage. She still believes she is in control and that she can start over with a clean slate. But that belief has already begun to fracture. They were once each other's anchor. Now they are two young women whose weaknesses only deepen one another's destruction. The more desperately they try to save each other, the more clearly they see that their shared misfortune does not unite them - it tears them apart. Envy, fear, and old grudges that festered for years beneath silence now rise to the surface. Where there was once ease and trust, only a single string of tension remains, stretched to the breaking point. They will have to choose between themselves and each other - and accept that it is no longer possible to save both of their lives.

Hazbin Hotel was created by Vivienne Medrano (aka Vivizepop), Amazon Prime owns the rights to the show, and the music artists are the creators and owners of the music. I do not claim the story of Hazbin Hotel as my own. I just wish to respectfully retell the story by giving it the time to breathe, giving better pacing, and character development that doesn't happen off-screen, while also trying to respect Vivizepop and her work. The only thing I take credit for is any scenes that are non-canon to the show. Trigger warning at the bottom of the description. In an attempt to find a non-violent alternative for reducing Hell's overpopulation, the daughter of Lucifer opens a rehabilitation hotel that offers a group of misfit demons a chance at redemption. Triggers include: - Physical trauma - Emotional trauma - Psychological abuse - Physical abuse - Addiction - Drugs - liquor - Sexual abuse - Bodily Harm - Topics concerning mental health - A few limited comments involving sexism and racism -Cursing - Possibly more triggers (if needed, I will add more as they come or if I've missed)

Destiny will tear them apart. And Jungkook will burn heaven, hell, and Veradion itself before he lets anyone take his omega again.

Desperation, stemmed from years of trauma, can really turn an innocent soul into a cold hearted monster. I used to wish I couldn't feel things. I never thought the saying was true- "Be careful what you wish for" because my wishes were never more than just 'wishes' before. Now I feel nothing inside and I wish that I could un-wish that one, sometimes. I guess this is just my truth. My life.

In Castitas, there are no heroes. There is only Omega Squad: a covert unit of outcasts and misfits, used as cannon fodder by the highest echelons of the Church to fight a shadow war against demons. Their only lifeline in this cynical machine is an aging Cardinal. As their spiritual guide, he is the only one who sees them as souls to be healed, rather than mere weapons to be exploited. Among them is Damiano, a young man tormented by addiction who summons an unstable blade of light, and Elena, a nun and ruthless captain, trapped within an armor of rigid rules to hide an unspeakable trauma. Two broken souls forced to fight side by side, each mirroring the other's pain. Alongside a hacker ex-seminarian, a hulking giant battling repressed rage, and a cynical alchemist, they must thwart a new infernal conspiracy that threatens to devour Rome. But Castitas is more than just a dark urban fantasy of blood and exorcisms. It is a brutal journey through guilt and manipulation. It is the desperate search for connection by those robbed of their youth, in a world that values them only as weapons. Can true purity be found in the deepest darkness?
