*The door to Lethica's room cracks open and Nari slips herself inside with a hearty plate of Mac and Cheese*

"Hello Love"

( @thenurturingsoul )

*She sees Jericho and Lethica with backs to the wall, leaning on each other in the hallway. Jerichos arm is in a sling, and he appears to be zoned out. Lethica smiles at her*

Hello Nari... Thank you for the food...

In 2015 I drew this sketch of Jericho Barrons from the Fever series and idly dreamed of doing illustrations for my favorite books in some capacity.

At the tail end of 2024, I was commissioned by the Librarian Box to paint officially licensed portraits for Barrons, Mac, and Christian from the Fever series. They're going to be used as character cards in this special edition book box for the upcoming re-release of the first three books.

I'm not yet to the point of consistently making a full time income from art, and there's the ever looming spectre of AI ripping away everything I hold dear, as well as complete societal collapse 😃, but something something don't give up on your dreams. ✌️

Work exhaustion

Larissa Weems x Female reader

Summary: Reader works as a part-time assistant for a fashion editor, so sometimes she can have very long and exhausting days at photoshoots, and this day was one of them.

Author's note: so yeah this is my first ever fanfic that i have written so please be kind lol, and this fic is maybe more like ‘day in my life’ kind of fic and is more focused on the reader than Larissa. And the fic is actually briefly based on my recent workday but i of course changed many things. Btw i would love to know your thoughts on this fic, and please remember that english is NOT my first language. And this is probably the messiest fanfic ever lmao.

Warnings: a brief mention of sexual content, exhaustion, a bit of strong language, bad english i think that's it but please let me know if you think other ways. ty :)

*alarm sound goes on*

“Goddamnit” you mumbled quickly turning off the alarm so you wouldn't wake the sleeping woman next to you.

you checked the time on your phone and it was 6:40am. You weren't a morning person at all so it took all of you not to go back to sleep because you knew how long your day was going to be.

You quietly got up from the bed the two of you shared, you didn't want to wake up Larissa because the school hasn't started yet so she could sleep a bit longer than normally even though she would be doing work things on her computer during the day, she didn't have to wake up at 5am like she normally did. You walked to the bathroom that was connected to your large bedroom and did your morning routines, after that you quietly gathered all the things you needed from the bedroom and went to the kitchen/livingroom to change your clothes that you already chose last night, (the outfit was just a dark blue hoodie and jeans) after changing your clothes you started making your breakfast which was just a piece of bread with cheese and cucumber slices on it and of course you had your morning coffee. 

After breakfast you took your favourite smoothie from the fridge and putted it in your bag because you knew that you needed something to drink during the day, you checked the time on your phone and it was 7:18am, two minutes before you had to leave, so you quickly checked that you got everything and putted your leather jacket and shoes on and then you opened the door of your so called apartment and left. 

Walking through the empty hallways of the Nevermore Academy you took your headphones from the front pocket of your hoodie and putted them on your ears, after that you opened the Spotify app on your phone and pressed play on the ‘This is Fleetwood Mac’ playlist that you listened all the time and the first song that started playing was one of your favourites songs that Larissa actually introduced to you and it was song called ‘Say you will’.

When you finally got out of the school you checked the time and it was 7:22am, you had 13 minutes before your bus to the city you were today going would stop on your closest bus-station, so you started walking toward the bus-station on your normal walking pace which some people wouldn't consider as a normal walking because you were actually a very fast walker, you had always been that way and you believe that you got it from your dad because he was also a very fast walker and of course one reason could be that you were together with Larissa because literally her one step was same as normal person taking two steps. And in your opinion you didn't have problems with keeping up on Larissa’s walking pace when the two of you were walking in the forest or in just around Jericho.

When you got to the bus-station you checked the time on your phone and it was 7:31am so you still had four minutes left before your bus would be there. 

The 4 minutes passed and you finally got on the bus where you would be sitting the next 40 minutes. The only thing that kept you together during the bus trip was music, it was probably one of the most important things in your life and as cliche as it was you believed that you couldn't seriously live without it.  

The 40 minutes passed very quickly and you realised that your stop would be next. You waited for a moment before the bus stopped and you got off. You then started walking to a studio where you would start your day with the photographer, your boss and the model. You were supposed to be at the studio at 8:30am but when you arrived in front of the building you checked the time on your phone and it was 8:22am, you were early as always. Then you realised that the door that led into the studio was slightly open and you were glad about it, because if the door was closed you would have call your boss so she could open it and you really didn't like calling to her so now that you got the change you opened the door a bit more so you could get in and closed it behind your back.

From inside the studio was quiet so you thought that there was no one except you so when you walked a bit forward into the studio you almost freaked out when all of sudden you saw Annie. “Hi” said she “hi, what are you doing here?” you asked “oh well i’ll be the assistant for the photographer today.” she answered. “Okay well i'm happy that you’re here ” you said, you liked Annie even though this  was the second time you actually met her, but she was much more energetic and helpful than you were. You didn't have anything to do so you just chatted a moment with her before she got a text message that she would have to go to the grocery store to get breakfast for your crew.

After a couple of hours everything was ready in the studio and you left to the location with the crew, you literally needed two cars because there was so much stuff that the photographer needed and also the clothes took a lot of space.

After you arrived at a small building that was in the area where the photo shooting would happen you were told that you would be staying the whole time in the building guarding the clothes etc.

So you just sat there and after everytime the shot for one look was done you of course helped the model change, there were 8 different outfits that would be photographed. Of course after your boss realised that you were just chilling during the shoots she made you do a million different kind of things that you had literally never done before.

The photo shoot took only 4 hours and when you were done you had to pack everything and carry all the bags to the car that would take them back to the studio. After everybody was ready you just left, it took a while to get to the studio but when you finally got there you started packing everything away with Annie.

After spending two hours in the studio packing all the clothes, shoes and bags with Annie you were finally free to go and you were exhausted. You thought that it was actually almost funny how tired you were, because all you did during the day was sitting around and help the model get out of the clothes and change in new ones, maybe it was the packing or the fact you slept only 5 hours during last night, or the lack of food or the fact you were working almost 10 hours straight, but honestly it didn't matter. When you left the studio and started walking towards the bus-station with Annie you took your phone from the back pocket of your jeans and texted Larissa:

“I’ll be home in one hour and i haven't eaten much today…”

You checked the time and it was almost 6pm so Larissa should be done with her work for the day, so you waited a few moments when you saw that she had seen your messages and then she started writing you back.

“Oh sweetheart, that doesn't sound good, i’ll make you something to eat when you get home:).”

You just replied with “<3”. And then you put your phone back in your pocket. 

You realised that you were already at the bus-station so you waited with Annie for your buses to come, her bus came first so you said goodbyes and then she went in and the bus left. You checked the time on your phone and it was 6:01pm three minutes before your bus comes. So you took your headphones from your bag and put them on your ears and started listening to Fleetwood Mac again.

3 minutes pass and you are already in the bus where you will sit for the next 40 minutes again..

The 40 minutes pass surprisingly quickly when you try your best not to fall asleep and you realise that your stop is next so you get out of your seat and wait for the bus to stop and you get out. After getting out your tired mind realised that you have to walk to the school, you were still exhausted. Honestly you wished that you didn't have to take another step today, but you really didn't have choices because it was too late to call Larissa to come and get you and also you didn’t want to bother her anyway. So you started walking the road that led to the school knowing that it would take much more time than it normally took. 

Almost 15 minutes later, almost at the school you tried your best to walk even a bit faster knowing that in just a moment you would be at home with Larissa. Opening the main door of the school you started walking towards your apartment door, when you came face to face with a large wooden door you unlocked it with your key and went in.

Inside the apartment Larissa was buzzing around your small kitchen while making food for you, but when she heard you opening the door she immediately turned to see you coming into the room. 

“Hi” you said with a small voice, you seriously didn't even have the energy to speak anymore.

“Hi” she answered while walking towards you she saw how exhausted you looked and when she was close enough to touch you she took you into her arms and hugged you.

She eventually let go and started walking back to the kitchen so she could finish the food.

“The food is almost ready dear, so please take your shoes and jacket off and go to sit on the sofa.”

You didn't even realise that you still had your shoes and jacket on so you took them off and walked slowly towards the sofa and tried your best to stay awake.

Meanwhile Larissa has finished the food she made which was chicken and rice because she knew you loved it. She then came towards you and sat next to you on the sofa while speaking quietly.

“The food is ready now sweetheart, you can eat it on the sofa but first you need to change into more comfortable clothing, i can go get the clothes for you but what do you want?” she almost whispered.

“Maybe an oversized t-shirt and my black pyjama pants would be nice” you answered.

“All right, i’ll be right back dear” she said while getting up from the sofa.

A couple of minutes passed and when she came back she saw you almost half asleep. 

You were almost falling asleep until you heard Larissa’s footsteps coming towards you. Now she knelt in front of you and said,

“I’ll help you to change your clothes now if you allow me?”

You just answered by nodding your head.

Then she took the hem of your shirt into her hands and started moving it upwards.

“Darling, could you please raise your hands for me so i can take this hoodie off?” she asked.

You did what you were told and lazily raised your hands so Larissa could get the hoodie off easier.

After she had almost completely undressed you and the only things you still had on were bra and underwear, Larissa watched you for a moment while sitting on the floor in front of you.

Usually this sight would turn her on in seconds but she knew that you could fall asleep in any minute so she gathered herself from the floor and started dressing you in her old oversized t-shirt that had a picture of Stevie Nicks on it and after putting on the shirt she helped you into the pyjama pants.

After that she went back to the kitchen to get you some food, she then returned to the sofa where you were sitting and handed you the plate.

You started slowly eating the food that Larissa had made for you, while she sat next to you and watched while you ate.

After finishing the food you thanked Larissa and leaned your head on her shoulder.

She didn't first even realise that you had fallen asleep until she started hearing that you breath steadied and when you didn't answer anything when she whispered into your ear.

Larissa let you sleep for a while before she slowly stood up and you still didn't wake up. She then gathered you into her arms and lifted you up from the sofa and carried you into your bedroom.

She put you down on the bed and went to the bedroom to get your hairbrush and a small tube of gel that you put on your face every night before going to bed.

After she finished doing your nighttime routines for you and you were still sleeping Larissa just moved you so your position would be more comfortable and then she covered most of your body with the blanket so you wouldn't feel cold during the night.

She then left the bedroom and went back to the kitchen/livingroom and made sure that all things were where they should be so that you wouldn't have to worry about that in the morning.

After cleaning Larissa returned to the bedroom and started doing her own nighttime routines, letting her hair down and brushing it, changing into something more comfortable, doing her skincare routines etc. 

After she was done with the nighttime routines Larissa climbed into the bed and carefully pulled your body close to hers so she could spoon you from behind, then she whispered “good night my love”

And closed her eyes.

heel turns and hangman

i think hangman still isnt quite a fully fledged heel. this isnt exactly a hot take, 'hangman did nothing wrong' is still going strong, but i want to talk about what i mean by this and why i think it's really interesting from a wrestling perspective. i made a post a while back about the word 'heelish' and why i love it cause it's not exactly a synonym for 'doing bad/villainous things', it refers to how the wrestler works to provoke a negative reaction from the audience. cheating, mocking the audience's town, some really creative things from drew mac like mockingly posting a traumatic scene from futurama (good move from drew but he will NEVER be the heel against punk in my eyes sorry mate).

hangman's big 'heel turn' really didnt involve any of this. it was a turn to the dark side, a character going bad, a moral event horizon when he burned a man's childhood home to the ground - but did any of it actually work to get the audience against him? the visual of him sitting on the lawn with the blaze behind him was literally too cool to boo. hangman is a dark and brooding monster, and i doubt anyone in the audience feels even pretend dislike towards him. for comparison, there was a period where they were split on MJF post heel turn, with some people going 'he's our scumbag', but that was a knowing smarky reaction. MJF was playing 100% heel, and he got the reactions he wanted for the most part. even the 'whose house/swerve's house' taunts that hangman often gets in his matches i wouldnt call heel heat the way a 'cm punk' chant during drew's promos is. they're more like the audience being the sicko at the window shouting "Make Him Worse! Make Him Worse!"

The one bonafide heel reaction hangman has gotten was that unforgettable scream/gasp at the end of all out, unforgettable because it shot straight past the usual scale of anger and hatred and into pure fear. but it was a momentary instinctual response, used for great narrative effect. the crowd still don't hate hangman. he's been pulling off more and more actual heel moves since all out - low blows, hitting john silver and shouting at aubrey edwards are all good heel shit. if he actually wants to get boo'd he's going to need to get creative, because that's a very hard outcome to get when your character is basically a badass who's gone off the deep end.

but, on the other hand, it's possible that hangman is not going for any of the usual heel objectives. cause he's always been doing something a bit different from the established wrestling formula, and more interested in playing a complex character than Getting The Desired Reaction - he went into that first title match with Jericho knowing people wouldn't want him there, and he patiently told a story from that point with much more vulnerability than wrestling fans are generally expecting from their white meat babyfaces. and he was so damn good at that that people cheered him with all their might. this is just him doing the same thing from the other side, and it remains to be seen what his arc is going to be.

there's a case to be made and many make it, that however complex the characters and their relationships are, you need the face/heel dichotomy in wrestling. the formula works for a reason. hangman's making some of the strongest case against that way of thinking I've ever seen, because he may not be a by-the-book heel, but damn if he isn't compelling as fuck!

OCs as types of suffering

Good morning! I was tagged by @gwynbleidd and @katsigian in the past couple days to complete this uquiz as my OCs. thanks for tagging me 🫡🧡 I decided to take it as my silly little family from my silly little world because my world is all I'm thinking about lately as far as OC stuff goes….. and honestly I feel like these results gave me even more insight to how my characters operate and how they complement each other. Especially Kilian's result i think shows me a side to his already existing sadness that I hadn't considered enough before; i think a lot about his anger but not as much about his sadness, so this is exciting to explore. It was fun!!

Tagging some OC people + anyone else who wants to do it— @dekarios @perpetuagf @avallachs @aelyosos @latenna @dekariosgale @tanzelwil @margaritalaux-antille @alexios @fury-brand @maxthetruman @arduath @nightwardenminthara @retsuunohana @windupreaper @ravensgard @loveofdetail @jerichoes @darkjusticiars @bladeofavernus @killerspinal @mightymizora @katagawajr @camelliagwerm @bhalspawn @mythrae @gortash @euryalex @stwaidwen @ederteylegc @glamfellens @mac-tir @varlineaux @alistairs @magebastard @reapersynth @wrymbloods @habit and whoagh that's a lot of tags! And I still pwobably forgot someone anyways lets go

Despair— The tunnel never had a light. You wish for nothing because you know you'll receive nothing, and your hopes died out long ago. The only thing that keeps you going is the thrill of emptiness you feel when things don't turn out your way. It's bitter. It's proof. Proof that you don't feel this way for nothing.

Yearning— The pain in your chest bubbles knowing that what you want may never be yours. You're lost in a fantasy world, or consumed by what you wish you were or had as opposed to what you do. It's hard to appreciate what's around you when you're appreciating the hope of what could be instead.

(Duslach and Eabha having the same result, it's soulmatery)

Of my top 10 favorite couples, which is my number one?

Tommy and Jude from instant star, my beloved. Would probably be in my top 10 but it's a lesser known show. I also love Mac/Jericho (Fever series) but because its a book couple I didn't include. Oh, and Ross/Rachel are up there but had no room. @simonspiervsthehomosapiensagenda @kiaracarreras @peytonsavyer @lauraa916 @anditsdraining

Mystery Man: Pt. 5

A/N: this chapter is a bit shorter than usual, so i’m sorry about that. I’ve been pretty busy lately, so I haven’t had much time to write. Enjoy!

WC: 965

~~

Wednesday finally wakes up. “Welcome back. What’d you see?” I ask. “Where are we?” Wednesday asks. “A bus stop. It’s the only shelter I could find that wouldn’t have people calling the cops on me. A guy holding an unconscious girl and insisting that she’s fine isn’t a good look.” I explain, with a slight smile on my face.

“What happened while I was unconscious?” Wednesday asks. “I heard some loud stomps, and I didn’t want to risk getting butchered to death by a giant monster, so I grabbed you and Thing and ran the hell out of there. That trip to the meeting house was rewarding, though. I found my father’s wallet, and I found out that the monster is a human. As I was running I saw it’s footprints turn into human ones.” I reply.

“If you pick me up again I’m cutting off your hands.” Wednesday warns. I chuckle. “Trust me, I only picked you up because of the circumstances. I know better.” I reassure her.

(Wednesday storyline up ahead, feel free to skip)

“This rain isn’t gonna let up anytime soon. I guess we’re stuck here.” I say, and sigh. “Wanna attempt a non-awkward conversation to pass the time?” I offer. “I detest any unnecessary time spent with you.” Wednesday replies. “Alright then, your majesty. As you wish.” I playfully bow down to her. If looks could kill, i’d be with my father right now.

After a few minutes of uncomfortable silence, Wednesday speaks up. “Are you going to the Rave’N?” Wednesday inquires. “Why’re you asking? Are you tryin’ to ask me out?” I ask, my lips curling up into a slight smirk. “Absolutely not. I was just… curious. That’s all.” Wednesday replies. “I think so. I could go as a tiger and scare the shit out of people.” I joke. Wednesday doesn’t respond. I might be going crazy, but I think I saw her smile a little bit.

~~

Everyone is gathered in town while the Mayor blabs on about the town’s forefather, Joseph Crackstone. They’ve built a statue of him to “celebrate his memory.” Honestly, I couldn’t care less about a guy who killed innocent people, stole their land, attempted genocide, and overall was just another dickbag white guy in history. But, I guess Jericho does.

After the mayor finishes up his boring speech, the band starts playing “Don’t Stop” by Fleetwood Mac, and the mayor presses a button that makes water start running out of the statue. Who the hell thought this was a good idea? Now people will make wishes in a pool of pilgrim piss.

I feel bad for Wednesday. She’s stuck playing a song she probably hates, for a statue of a man she also probably hates. Honestly, she probably has something up her sleeve. The statue suddenly blows up, and everyone starts freaking out and running. Except for me, this is free entertainment. Good riddance, bronze bigot. Wednesday starts playing Vivaldi’s “Winter.”

~~

~ENID’S POV~

I hold up a colorful long sleeve shirt to Wednesday “Too much?” I ask. Wednesday turns around to look, and immediately turns back around to continue typing on her typewriter. Wednesday sighs. “I feel like you just napalmed me, Enid.” She replies. “So glad I have my date with Y/N tonight. I was starting to think he wouldn’t ask me out. I was, like, 83% sure he’d ask you on a date instead.” I explain.

“Don’t worry, if he asked me out, i’d decline. He knows better than to try and develop our partnership into anything more.” Wednesday assures me.

“Well, I need to go now. Wish me luck!” I say, and grab my pink fluffy jacket and put it on. As i’m walking out, Wednesday speaks up. “If you- I mean… if he breaks your heart, i’ll nail gun his.” Wednesday says. Weird. She rarely messes up a sentence. I shrug, and continue making my way to where i’m meeting Y/N.

~~

~Y/N’s POV~

I’m about to leave my dorm for Enid and I’s date tonight, but my alarm clock starts blaring out of nowhere. I must’ve accidentally made my morning alarm 9:00 pm and not 9:00 am. I walk over to my nightstand and turn it off. I pause for a second when I notice father’s old pocket watch mother brought from home. I pick it up and look at it. It’s broken. It hasn’t worked since my father bought it at an antique store years ago when he and I went on a father son bonding trip.

I use my claws to pry off the back to see if I could get it to work again, and a piece of paper falls out of it. I pick it up and unfold it to see whats on it. The words “I’m alive” are written in red ink. My eyes turn into saucers as I stare at the note. My mind starts swirling with question after question. How is he alive? Did he fake his death? Or did he get resurrected somehow? If he’s alive, why hasn’t he come see me? Or Kat? Or mother? Why would he fake his death?

I leave my dorm and run straight for the bathrooms. When I get there, I can hear one of the showers running. I walk over to a sink and splash some cold water onto my face. The shower stops running, and someone steps out. I turn to see who it is. “Shit! Don’t look!” They yell. I feel myself turn to stone, and everything turns black…

To Be Continued…

A Curse for True Love

A note: Apologies for the sudden onslaught of Evajacks posts. This is what happens when you discover a series so late in the game.

After waiting for it for 2 1/2 weeks, I finally got to read A Curse for True Love. I have to spill all the feels I am feeling over this series, because they are many.

While not as good as BONA, there is still some really good material. This love story is one of the best that you can get from books that resemble fairytales. There is something so profound about it, and deep. I mean, you have the fact that you get both Evangeline and Jacks being victims of curses and danger. It was a true fight for true love. It reminded of some of my favorite fictional couples.

For the cursed angle, it was giving Captain Swan (but done better...yeah, I said it), as well as Snowing. With Jacks pushing Evangeline away to keep her safe from him, it was very similar to Dimitri pushing Rose away in Spirit Bound and Last Sacrifice, which I love. Let me add, Jacks watching Evangeline and longing from afar was reminiscent of Peter watching Mary Jane after being rescued in SM2, and the ending scene of the CW BatB pilot. I need more literature like that.

I just love the simplicity of this series. It's so straightforward; nothing convoluted like you see in certain romantasies. And I believe I saw a booktuber (at least I think it was this series) say that the stakes are more realistic and higher**, which I have to agree with. You have the FMC trying to find a second love she can be happy with, seemingly finds it, then becomes enamored with the MMC. She knows that he is unable to be with her, but is determined to find a way to be with him. With the MMC, he's wanted love, thought he found it, but she backstabbed him. Now he's bitter, and does nefarious things. However, he slowly falls for the FMC unexpectedly, but doesn't want to hurt her, thus pushing her away. It all changes when she is killed, and he goes back in time to fix it because of how much he loves her. But it all goes wrong when the FMC's false love takes her memories. Fast forward to MMC trying to thwart the husband, or any way FMC may be endangered, trying to protect her so she can live. However, he is going to make sure he doesn't try to interact with her too much, and makes plans to disappear from her life forever. It hurts him immensely, but, like before, feels he has to. She regains her memories, discovers his plans, and she has a race against time before he destroys the thing that allows him to love. There is lots of begging, confessions, pushing/pulling, and the like. She makes a move and BAM! Curse lifted. Only, after all of that, the false love kidnaps her and MMC has to still fight to be with her. Totally no big deal, right? LOL.

What I liked about the curse breaking is that they both had to believe in their love. At first I was confused as to why the cuff hurt him when Jacks tried to kiss Evangeline, but it's because that his second heart isn't in close proximity, so, he wasn't in his right mind. He probably didn't think she loved him the way he loved her. Subconsciously he likely did, yet it wasn't until she said those words and risked her life to physically show him.

Anyway, my whole point is this: Evajacks has now topped Feysand within my top 3 book OTPs in terms of overcoming odds and development. Seriously, the guy was going to destroy his ability to feel because he couldn't bear losing her again...at his hand. That is real sacrifice. What Rhysand did pales in comparison.

Anyway, here's my top 10 book couples.

Top 10 Book OTPs:

Romitri***-Vampire Academy

Haven and Stolas-Kingdom of Runes

Evajacks-Once Upon a Broken

Feysand-A Court of Thorns and Roses

Chaolaena (so fight me)-Throne of Glass

Warnette (gosh, this was hard to place so low)-Shatter Me

Kane and Arwen-A Dawn of Onyx

Jurdan-The Cruel Prince

Mac and Jericho-Fever series

Sera and Ash (would have been higher if not for Fire in the Flesh)-Flesh and Fire

**Edit: Okay, I lied; it was a different book. But, the belief still stands. Also, unlike the booktuber, I don't see this as a guilty-pleasure series

***Romitri is the first book couple I fell in love with. They have to be number one, no matter how I feel about the others.

BULLET POINTS

tw: anxiety, bullying, fatal car accident

Cormac was born to loving parents in Dublin, Ireland, the eldest of three.

Early in his schooling, it became clear that he was struggling and after some tests, he was diagnosed with ADHD. This led to some bullying from the other children.

Music and sports became his school outlet and helped stop the bullying. He became more popular and soon was the main guy in the year that everyone wanted to be around. This switch from the bullied kid to the most popular was hard to process. It led to a lot of anxiety and he became more internal in his thoughts.

This internal struggle with his ADHD, popularity, and previous bullying all came out in his music. At school, he masked and played the role everyone expected of him (similar to Ted Lasso) but at home he would break down and have anxiety attacks. Writing and strumming on his guitar were what calmed him.

Life in the small suburb of Dublin had always felt stifling. Although he was popular, he wasn't being his true self, and he felt like he didn't belong.

Moved to the US at 21 to chase dreams of being a musician. Started to experiment with his appearance and image, which he felt was more of him.

The attention of American women was a whirlwind, and he was somewhat of a lothario in his early twenties. He fell in and out of love quickly, much to the frustration of the women, until one woman stole his heart, and he was head over heels for her.

They moved to her hometown of Hollow Creek to set up a home together. He found work in the local bar where he would play some live sets for extra money.

She was driving to pick him up from work one fatal, stormy night but never made it. The car had been written off, and it was a closed casket. He never got to say goodbye.

Currently, working and singing, unable to process the grief. He is interested in investigating the town and the spooky happenings to distract from the pain of his ex. The anxiety attacks from his teenage years have returned, but like then, he masks it all behind the smile of the friendly Irish barman.

'Fever' series - Karen Marie Moning

Darkfever (#1)

"My name is MacKayla, Mac for short. I'm a sidhe-seer, one who sees the Fae, a fact I accepted only recently and very reluctantly.

My philosophy is pretty simple - any day nobody's trying to kill me is a good day in my book. I haven't had many good days lately. Not since the walls between Man and Fae came down. But then, there's not a sidhe-seer alive who's had a good day since then."

When MacKayla's sister was murdered, she left a single clue to her death, a cryptic message on Mac's cell phone. Journeying to Ireland in search of answers, Mac is soon faced with an even greater challenge: staying alive long enough to master a power she had no idea she possessed - a gift that allows her to see beyond the world of man, into the dangerous realm of the Fae.

As Mac delves deeper into the mystery of her sister's death, her every move is shadowed by the dark, mysterious Jericho...while at the same time, the ruthless V'lane - an alpha Fae who makes sex an addiction for human women - closes in on her. As the boundary between worlds begins to crumble, Mac's true mission becomes clear: to find the elusive Sinsar Dubh before someone else claims the all-powerful Dark Book - because whoever gets to it first holds nothing less than complete control both worlds in their hands.

I want him anyway.
