Under a Japanese mafia called the Vipers, the redheaded Sage Fraser works as one of the leader's right-hand men. And he's got a not-so-secret obsession with his boyfriend. 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐔𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐑 - Quiet, reserved, and bratty. Finn Becker sees himself as the opposite of his redheaded counterpart. To him, it was a miracle that the two of them ended up together. After all, he hated Sage. But Sage isn't one to back down from a challenge. ── Months ago, the two of them went through hell and back in Chicago. Even acting against a psychopath that caused Finn to lose the majority of his hearing. Adjusting to his new situation poses many difficulties, leaving him to recede from his life and friends. Sage is willing to do anything that will revive the boyfriend he worked two years for from the empty shell who's been by his side. But instead of crafting their love anew, a terrible rift emerges. One that makes them split farther than they have before. And so, the hunt begins. A ruthless game of hide-and-seek.

𝐀 𝐕𝐎𝐖𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 & 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 ╰┈➤ 𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒔 𝒊𝒕𝒔 𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉. ── 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐔𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐄𝐑 - Manipulative, arrogant, and terrifying. He claims to be a good citizen who helps for the benefit of society, all while using questionable, non-traditional methods. Eros Montell is an editor-in-chief for a news journal, running the company he's under like his own. No one suspects that the person covering stories on murderers might actually be one too. After firing just nine assistants in only a month, his tenth becomes the one that catches his attention the most. 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐄 - Pretty, tempting, and headstrong. She's the former mafia princess who's been tasked with finding the root of the drug cases that have spread around the city like wildfire. Two years after killing her father, she finds herself now entangled with the Vipers. Under the guise of an assistant, Mavis Loman becomes acquainted with her boss in more ways than she'd like. ── The stage is set for them, and the play relies entirely on the trust between the actors. Though, it seems the darkness Mavis is chasing has been beside her all along. She falls into a dangerous game of deceit, one that ropes in her beloved friends too. It's up to her to call the shots that'll make or break her victory.

For him, dismantling Chicago's mafias with a flare for destruction is merely a hobby. As a vigilante who revels in the ruin of his enemies, Gray believes himself to be untouchable...until he crosses the wrong man. 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐏𝐓𝐎𝐑 - Sarcastic, possessive, and unhinged. Kaz Hirai, the shadow that refuses to quit until what he desires truly belongs to him. He calls himself an admirer rather than a stalker, though he has haunted Gray's every step for four long years. Watching, waiting, and sculpting his muse in silence. And the best part? Gray has no idea he's even there. ── When he finally rids himself of the mafia that screwed him over, Gray turns his attention toward a new rising power; a Japanese syndicate known as the Vipers. Their sovereign is a feared figure. One that people say is a terribly beautiful man with eyes of sapphire blue. The same man whose gaze never strays from his heart's desire. He's the one who watches his muse from the shadows, and sculpts him to be his in the light.

READ TRIGGER WARNINGS! In a world where power is the ultimate weapon and betrayal is currency, the line between hero and villain doesn't just blur... it shatters. She's the woman you're warned about. She's selfish and deadly, you don't see her until you feel the knife in your back. He's the man everyone fears. He's cold-blooded and dark, the embodiment of vengeance in an expensive suit. They should have destroyed each other. But instead, they made a deal. She's playing a game with no rules. He's rewriting them as he goes. Together, they're a storm no one can outrun. Loyalties are broken, alliances burned, and blood spills in their wake. But when the smoke clears, only one thing remains certain, trusting the devil doesn't make you safe... It makes you just like him. She's the sinner. He's the executioner. And in their obsession, no one gets out alive. Some stories don't have heroes. Some don't need them. This is theirs. Outlaw - where survival isn't enough, and obsession is the only law.

You're not supposed to want your best friend's brother. Skylar knows that better than anyone, yet she can't seem to ignore the way Damian looks at her. He's calm, a little intense and watches her as if he's physically unable to look away. He's wanted her from the moment she was introduced as his sister's best friend- and when an accidental text is sent his way, everything changes. Those stares grow longer. His need for her intensifies. Skylar can feel it, and with temptation thick in the air, she no longer knows how to stay away- even if staying away was the only thing she was ever supposed to do.

Never forget what runs through a Nystrom's veins. Unfortunately no one ever warned them what would happen if one fell in love with the other. 𝐈𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐀 𝐋𝐔𝐃𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐎-𝐍𝐘𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐌 wears indifference so convincingly that no one notices she's been falling apart for years. She keeps everyone at arm's length, convinced that love only ends in loss and that the safest place for the people she loves is somewhere far away from her. 𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐎 T̶H̶O̶R̶N̶B̶R̶I̶D̶G̶E̶ 𝐀𝐌𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐄, the man the underworld calls the Abomination, has built his reputation on brutality. They see the blood, the power, the monster. They don't see the boy still grieving, or the man whose greatest weakness has always been the same girl he's spent a lifetime trying to protect. Even if he's not good enough for her, he'll have her anyway. They're either each other's salvation, or the start to another war. 𓆩♡𓆪 Started: August 2024 Finished: TBA

(𝘉𝘖𝘖𝘒 𝘛𝘞𝘖 𝘐𝘕 𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝙁𝙍𝘼𝘾𝙏𝙐𝙍𝙀𝘿 𝘛𝘙𝘐𝘓𝘖𝘎𝘠) εꨄ︎з 𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐘𝐀 𝐇𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐈 has spent her entire life trying to earn a freedom she was never meant to have. Kept under her mother's control for as long as she can remember, she's finally given a chance to leave it all behind. All she has to do is infiltrate the people responsible for the massacre of her clan, earn the trust of their leader, and kill him. Simple. At least, that's what she tells herself. But the closer she gets to Rowan Adams, the less anything makes sense. Faces linger a second too long. Places feel strangely familiar. Answers only seem to lead to more questions, and every lie she tells him pulls her further away from the truth she doesn't even realize she's searching for. 𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐀𝐍 𝐀𝐃𝐀𝐌𝐒 is the last person anyone would expect to carry the weight he does. He's loud, sarcastic, impossible to shut up, and always the first to make someone laugh. It's easier that way. Easier than letting anyone see what's buried deep underneath. Then Amaya walks into his life. She was supposed to be just another stranger. Instead, she becomes the one person he can't stop thinking about. The one person he'd bleed for without hesitation. The only problem is that she came to destroy him. εꨄ︎з STARTED: July 2022 FINISHED: April 2023
