Summary
There's an unexpected knock at her condo door.
Claire looks through the peephole and what she sees makes something like insanity shriek through her insides, like a knife wound. Ripping her open, leaving her innards spilling everywhere in an ocean of red in her mind. She can’t breathe. There’s no air in her lungs. She’s drowning. She’s suffocating.
She opens the door, because what else is there to do? “You told me you were never coming back.” Her voice is accusing. Betrayed. She's a mess of emotions as she stares up into familiar icy blue eyes.
It’s nearly been four years, but he still walks in, smelling of aftershave, cigarettes, and every bad choice Claire’s ever made.

"Imagine how good they'll look inside me."

Summary
"The people who often times do terrible things, are the same ones who have had terrible things done to them."
After Lord Voldemort murdered Harry Potter in the Battle of Hogwarts, the world became plagued with a darkness unlike anything it had seen before. Muggles were slaughtered in the streets, the Dark wizard's opponents were executed for show, and all those who had fought with the Order were forced into hiding.
Avalon Hendrix had lost everything- her friends, her peers, her loved ones. Everything. So, when she was thrown back in time to 1943, she knew that it was up to her to change the course of time and rewrite a new history- one in which she must find the Horcruxes and murder Tom Riddle before he could ever become Voldemort.
Tom Riddle.
Avalon Hendrix.
Either she was going to kill him, or he was going to kill everyone she loved. They were nothing more than two products of extreme circumstance that chose two very different paths, yet had time for their roads to converge.
•WARNING• This book contains themes and scenes that are intended for a mature audience.

Summary
He began to stroke himself, slowly, insolently, enjoying her desperation.
“Do you know how it felt, to watch you prance around in that tiny dress all night like a cock-hungry little slut?” The edge of torment in his voice, an admission in itself.
“Show me. Please, Aleksander. Please.” She spread her legs even wider, coaxing him.
“Fuck,” he breathed, hand reaching into his sweatpants at last.

Halbrand laughs against her lips. “We can’t — mm, I have to —“
Galadriel swallows the words whole.
Stay, is what she wants to say.

“If they catch us — “
He brushes a loose strand of golden hair behind her ear. “It wouldn’t be the first time.”

These days, she just wants to be consumed.
or: Galadriel and Halbrand were bad at this in high school. Now, as adults, they might be even worse.

Summary
Baghra had always said Alina would need to be protected from the world—that it would be up to Sasha to keep his sister sheltered from the evils that roamed and sought to steal her light and the beauty of it, shining lutescent on linen sheets and amber on oak furniture.
Baghra hadn't known, of course, that the true evil was the one she had birthed, the darkness of his shadows blooming from his heart and swirling in his blood.
Her entrails had created the dark and the light at the same time and the cupped hands that held her babes had begged them to protect each other, to keep each other safe.
She hadn’t known—
But wasn’t it what she had always wanted, after all?
He was protecting her—keeping her all to himself, so the world wouldn’t take her.Bookmarked by rushmanjames

Summary
But she didn’t come here to scream at him. Didn’t come here to ask why, didn’t come here to remind him that he robbed her of her childhood and family all at once.
One of the many reasons she did not disclose her plans to her therapist—the woman would have warned her that she was giving her father what he wanted. Would not have believed Alina when Alina claimed this as entirely her idea. Would not care that her father had respected the terms of the restraining order until she got in contact with him. Would not have believed that her father is not in control this time.

Alina decides to engage in exposure therapy for a week with her father.
