Defiance

Original Work/Dark Romance

Tomas Cavalleria/Charlotte "Lottie" Finley

Enemies to lovers, forced proximity, mafia/organized crime, slow burn.

Click here to read Defiance.

Charlotte is successful, single, and happy. If she's a little lonely, well, that's fine, that's what friends are for. On an out of state visit to her parent’s house, she arrives just in time to disrupt a handsome stranger's plan to kill them, though why he'd want to in the first place, she cannot fathom. Instead he makes a demand for an exorbitant amount of money and to make sure he gets his money, he takes Charlotte as collateral... collateral he has no intention of keeping his hands off of. Charlotte is thrown into a world she knows nothing about, trying to survive a man determined to have her and he doesn't care what it takes to get there. In this slow burn battle of wills, Charlotte tries her best to retain her fighting spirit, while he doubles down on his resolve to own her; mind, body, and soul. But not everything is as it seems in this tale of hurt, fear and betrayal. In the end, will her captor be able to set aside his quest for vengeance if that's what it takes to keep Charlotte? Will Charlotte be able to move past the cascading domino effect that continually seems to leave her life in absolute upheaval? Will they make their decisions before the past catches up and makes the decision for them?

(No) Strings Attached

Original Work/Dark Romance

Erik Stokes/Amelie Bird

Slow burn, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, organized crime.

Click here to read (No) Strings Attached.

Before she was a cop, Amelie Bird ran away from home, leaving her parents and her past behind her. Eight years and a lot of hard work later she finally lands her dream job in the FBI. Well, dream job adjacent. While Analyst isn't the position she dreamed of, Amelie is as ambitious as they come and will stop at nothing to make agent. When SSA Oliver Summers suggests her for an undercover operation, she jumps at the chance to prove herself. The assignment is simple. Pose as the entertainment, get close to the target, find out who is there on legitimate business, who is there in a criminal capacity, and bail. Should be fairly easy. A flattering dress, a little makeup, turn on the charm, and voila. But while Erik Stokes is not known for letting his guard down, he has a soft spot for natural blondes who sing and from the moment he first hears Amelie sing, Erik knows he has to have her and he is not taking 'no' for an answer.

Both stories are set in the same universe which will eventually have at least three more books as well with a couple of one-shot offshoots.

Trader gave me the word SUNLIGHT. I'm gonna use (No) Strings Attached for this. You can read it here.

S--Several painfully long minutes tick by.  He stares at me as if trying to see into my skull and I try not to squirm.  The truth is, I already tried for agent but they wouldn’t clear me.  So I went for the next best thing.  Analyst got me into the FBI.

U--Unable to do anything else, I do what he says, sucking in a sharp little breath through my nose and then letting it out with the same sort of rush that happens when you’re punched in the stomach.

N--“Nothing specific.” He tells me absently, clicking through my messages and calls, and then going through my contacts.  “I can learn more about you by going through this than if I ask you questions.  And your phone can't lie to me.”

L--“Look at me.”  He orders me, voice low and rumbly, filled with some emotion I can’t identify and don’t want to see in his eyes.  I keep my head down, a clear refusal, but then he wraps one massive hand around my ballet bun and applies steady pressure, forcing me to tilt my head back so he can look in my face again, this time right-side up.

I--I don’t know what to do with that.  If it’s meant to be an apology it is a poor one.  “What do you want from me?”

G--Given everything that's happened, those words should make me jump for joy, but there's nothing left other than the hollow feeling in my chest.

T--They share stories about childhood with me; playing, growing, and learning— idealized versions of a bittersweet past.

Writing fiction is fun because you can transfer your trauma to your main character and act like it has absolutely nothing to do with you.

[an0neemouse]

It is only supposed to be in the 50's today. Time to wear a cozy sweater and maybe do some baking. ^^

[velidewrites]

when a hot fictional man commits atrocities i’m like. where are your morals? where is your dignity? where do you live? when can i come over?

[birdplushie]

torture the character some more. put her in her worst nightmare and don't let her out

[an0neemouse]

On it boss!

[monsterquill]

“some people don’t deserve redemption” redemption isn’t something that’s deserved, it’s something someone does. it’s making the choice to change the way you live your life, to be better, to do good things instead of bad things and try to make up for the bad things. and everyone can and should do that, at any time, no matter what they’ve done. we can’t change the past, but we can choose what kind of person to be now and in the future. we have the responsibility to do so. it is so completely not about “deserving.”

[dingdongyouarewrong]

[an0neemouse]

This happened a lot with my book Defiance. The MMC Tomas is a nasty piece of work and a lot of people were screaming that he could not be redeemed, that nothing on earth could possibly redeem him. But here's the thing. They meant he couldn't be forgiven and that was absolutely true. He also stayed bad all the way to the end of the book, but his attitude towards the FMC changed and he paid every ounce of penance he could think of, not in an effort to get her back, but in an effort to simply love her. And in the end, even though the facts remained, that he did unforgivable things, he got his redemption. Some people forgave him. Others didn't. But his redemption arc... That was totally up to him and he made it happen.

[an0neemouse]

Gah! Me and my hubs!

[an0neemouse]

I do a phone call with my mom every Tuesday because I love her and know that she won't be around forever. For the most part, we are very good about avoiding certain topics of conversation-- or rather, she is good about avoiding topics of conversation that she doesn't want me to educate her on. But today, my mom definitely forgot which child she was talking to. She got waaaaaaaay too comfortable and started going off about welfare and how she thinks people on welfare don't deserve to be given phones. She seemed to think that people on welfare make more than what my job pays for drivers (which is nearly $28/hr). She was getting really wound up, ready for a nice long rant when I stopped her with a very loud, very firm, "No. Absolutely not. We are not doing this." She stopped. I swear I could hear the gears in her head grind to a halt as she realized which one of her children she had just said this to and how big of a mistake she had just made. I proceeded to educate her about her views. I explained how phones are not a luxury item like she thinks they are, that they are necessary for living in a world where EVERYTHING is online including the means to get the jobs she thinks everyone is just not doing for the fun of it. She hemmed and hawed and I hit her with this gem. "When was the last time you were a part of the work force, Mom?" To which she answered, "1999." I then told her that I love her, but she's out of touch and has no idea what she's talking about. And when she started in on some dumb bullshit about how welfare should be limited and blah blah blah, I decided to go for the fucking kill and hit her in her christianity. I told her I would rather just be charitable and not police how people live their lives. And ladies, gents, and everything in between or exempt from, that finally made a fucking impact.

I'm so fucking mad I could spit tacks.

[an0neemouse]

HELLOOOOO

I FULLY apologize if you have your notif enabled and I just blew up your phone while stalking your blog for the eighth time this month. I just wanna ask what originally made you start writing (I don’t know if you answered this already) because I know that every author has their own reasons (some being funny as hell)

Anyway, hope you’re doing well!

HI EGG!!! Oh my goodness! Thanks for the ask! I always smile when I see you in my activity log! Don't worry, I definitely don't have notifications on! lol! I'd nevver get any sleep that way! XD

Oh man, I started writing as a kid when those Dear America books came out. I desperately wanted to keep a journal like that that someone someday would read and admire me the way I admired (and romanticized) the people in those books. But... I suck at writing about myself. I hated every second of it. If I started one journal-style book, I started a hundred of them. And every single one was more terrible than the last. I still have a couple of my attempts... and boy, if you wanna talk about cringe... I sure was one cringy little critter. Even so, I regret nothing.

So fast forward a few years and a bit of life experience. I go to therapy for the first time and (unfortunately not funny) I'm trying to work through having been assaulted and a miscarriage. It was, in a word, awful. My therapist was great though. She recommended journaling (same as literally every therapist I've ever had). I tried it. I hated it. lol. Then she suggested I write about myself like it's fiction. Again, I tried it. I hated it. Finally, she suggested I try just... writing fiction. She suggested I use the emotions I was dealing with and put those on characters doing things that could or could not be related to what I had been through. I tried it. We struck gold.

Fast forward a couple more years. I'm 21. I just got back from a study abroad in South Korea and I am newly obsessed with Kpop. Super Junior and SHINee, in particular. I even met a couple of the members of SHINee while getting my lip pierced in Seoul. It was pretty great. And I was a lonely, weird kid who extended their time in college by an extra year to go abroad, but got too sick to stay gone. All my friends had graduated already. So I made my way online to where I could find other Kpop fans. And find them, I did. I also discovered the joys of fanfiction. I read and wrote a plethora of them on LiveJournal back in the day, and I met some really great friends along the way. One of whom, has been my friend now for fourteen? Fifteen? years. Something like that.

I went through a bit of a dry spell in writing for a few years while I was too busy pretending to be an adult. Then eventually I figured out that being what society thinks an adult is supposed to be is lame as shit. I didn't go back to fanfiction, though I do have the utmost respect for it. I wanted to write a few original works. I dabbled here and there. Tried all sorts of shit, but I love dark stuff and I never could really free myself to just write bad people. Then somewhere along the way something clicked. I started writing the darkest dark shit that mattered only to me. I got off of all social media except for the hell-site. And bam! I suddenly was writing nearly a million words in a year. The core of what I was doing with writing though, never changed. It's still therapy. I'm just lucky enough that my writing seems to have reached it's audience. There are other broken people out there who seem to enjoy my stuff for a whole variety of reasons, but regardless of said reasons, I am very grateful for them.

So... only kinda funny, but mostly a little sad. Even so, I wouldn't give up writing for the world. It's my sanity, if I'm being so for real.

Thank you so much for the amazing ask! I ADORE talking to you and all of my moots/followers. I hope life is being kind to you, my friend. <3

➡️ Content warnings on fiction are a courtesy. 

➡️ Not every medium of fiction and storytelling has or is expected to have content warnings or extensive tagging.

➡️ Print novels do not traditionally warn for content in any way.

➡️ Until AO3 came along, fanfiction did not traditionally warn for content in any significant way.

➡️ An author is only obligated to warn for content to the degree mandated by the format they publish their fiction on.

➡️ Content warnings beyond the minimum are a courtesy, not an obligation.

➡️ 'Creator chose not to warn' is a valid tag that authors are allowed to use on AO3. It means there could be anything in there and you have accepted the risk. 'May contain peanuts!'

➡️ Writers are allowed to use 'Creator chose not to warn' for any reason, including to maintain surprise and avoid spoilers.

➡️ 'Creator chose not to warn' is not the same thing as 'no archive warnings apply'.

➡️ It is your responsibility to protect yourself and close a book, or hit the back button if you find something in fiction that you're reading that upsets you.

➡️ You are responsible for protecting yourself from fiction that causes you discomfort.

[elismor]

That last one bears repetition.

You are responsible for protecting yourself from fiction that causes you discomfort.

[angel-in-your-basement]

Having a crush on someone when you have fucked up kinks is so embarrassing bc you’re just like “wow they’re so cute I want them to get off on the way I cry while they fuck me”

[angel-in-your-basement]

Also highly recommend looking thru the reblogs on this one cause so many people add their own versions, and the dom / sadist versions especially just fuckin tickle me. I love y’all bunch of perverts

[angel-in-your-basement]

You folks get me

[writingdose]

writers, instead of asking ai for help, you can always use your childhood trauma and repressed issues to help you with that fic

[an0neemouse]

it's crazy to me how many people don't understand how anti-censorship works. you say dark fiction has a right to exist, that problematic and uncomfortable themes are in fact safe to explore in fiction, that morally gray and pitch black characters or plots do not reflect the morals of the author, and inevitably you get six billion people coming out of the woodwork to say shit like 'i support dark media except if it's romanticizing it, that shit's not okay.' or 'yes, but not non-con or abuse or insert thing they feel is a step too far here.' like do you even hear yourself? anti-censorship means you don't get to choose what other people create or consume. yeah, sometimes it will make you uncomfortable. it may not be for you. you may not see the point. you may even be repulsed by it. but you don't get to say it can't exist. that's censorship. and that's the thing we're against here.

[an0neemouse]

Hmmm. Yes. Let's bring this back. The people need a reminder.
