    Summary

    Caleb is like a puzzle piece that matches you perfectly. His joy floods into you like summer rain. But it comes at a cost; a reminder of the ache just under your sternum that comes with both missing him and being around him. Even your heartbeats seem to remind you that you’re lonely; incomplete.

    Maybe it's because no matter how many hugs, jokes, cheek pokes or nicknames you two trade, he always stays just out of reach. Maybe it's because you haven't taken the leap. Or maybe, just maybe, Caleb is hiding something from you.

    Just like you're hiding something from him.

    (Hi! This was originally a completed short fic of three chapters. However, as a result of people's support and my own love for MC and Caleb's banter, I will be continuing this into a much longer fic with lore, angst, and spice. So, if you want short, read 1-3. If you want long, keep reading! <3)

    Summary

    In Alderwyn, pretty wives are meant to be ornaments: silent at dinners, dutiful in bed, grateful for the hands that own them. For years, five young women have lived as trophies on mantels and ghosts in their own homes.

    But scandal travels faster than carriages. A baron falls to laudanum and lies, forged paintings whisper truths in gilded frames, and a war hero’s violence leaks through polished doors. Into these fault lines step five very different men: a widowed physician with a healer’s hands, a charlatan who only takes what is offered, a spy who sees everything, an artist who refuses to paint ghosts, and a soldier who won’t return a woman to the man who breaks her.

    Each novella in this series follows one trapped wife and the unlikely ally who helps her reclaim more than just her freedom. Their stories interlace in courtrooms and salons, in secret letters and hidden symbols, weaving a quiet network that begins to reshape Alderwyn from the inside out—each residence becoming a waypoint in a shared map of resistance.

    Summary

    “What do you think?” Luke asks his nephew. “She has potential.”

    “She bit me, Master,” is Ben’s stiff response. “Any opinion I give would be biased.”

    Or: Everyone is connected, even if, sometimes, it's just by the skin of our teeth. Even in the midst of darkness, still, luminous beings are we.

    Summary

    Rey is a barista who never forgets a face.
    One day, a man walks into her café refusing to show his.

    -----

    [The scar] crept up from under his collar along his neck, and her eyes traced the length of it. The part that disappeared under the thick, dark waves covering his right eye was still stitched closed with fresh black sutures twisting deep into his skin. He must have been split open to the bone.

    Whatever happened had hurt, in more ways than one, and that hurt was reflected now in the way his lovely mouth dropped open in fear and how horror darkened the one eye fixated on Rey’s face.

    -----

    A Reylo coffeehouse AU where a very sweet, very shy, but very physically and emotionally broken artist Ben meets a sunshiny but lonely barista/college student Rey - and they help heal one another.
