    Summary

    The crux of it is something small, the choice to leave and save himself or stay and offer protection to those too vulnerable to protect themselves. Scott knew that the choice would change him, no matter which he decided to do, that it meant everything for who he would become.

    He chose to stay, and it meant everything and nothing. He chose to hold onto the pieces of him that remembered being human, being a protector.

    He didn't know that it was more than just his future hanging in the balance.

    *

    Scott chooses to care back in the beginning, before he ever saw Oakhurst or met any of the people who would eventually be there. It makes all the difference but changes very little. At first.

    Summary

    A gothic slow burn.

    Owen: had a perfect plan involving manipulation, murder, and mayhem. Then something got in the way. That something is spelled: a v i d

    Avid: Owen is so mean. But maybe… a little bit cute? Why did he have to be a vampire? And why did Avid have to get them trapped and nearly smashed to pieces?

    The question for each man is: kiss him or kill him?
    That should be an easy enough question, shouldn’t it?

    Scott: fledglings need excessive care, so he chooses only one victim to turn. But fledglings keep coming in, and some of them decide to become sires themselves. It’s a mess. Scott gets to use all his sire expertise in his power.

    Drift & Shelby: they both go looking for missing people. They end up finding dreams. Or nightmares…

    Slow burn. Angst. Mutual obsession. Poor impulse control. Fledgling instincts, vampire instincts, nesting. Things get worse before they get better. Fuzzy feelings. And naturally: plenty of blood.

    Occasionally illustrated per chapter.

    Summary

    Non-humans and hybrids really aren't much different from humans. They go about their lives practically the same, with just a few quirks unique to them along the way.

    Like heats.

    Both elves and dragon hybrids, like Scott and Nom, have heats. Which is awfully convenient.
