He's a threat. Danger that should be avoided at all cost. He's death in a flesh, a man that you should run away from. But you didn't. It's a story about her — just a simple human, and him — a mafia mob along with the twisted series of events that led to something that shouldn't have taken place.

contents: mafia!au, mentions of death, weapons and abuse, sexual themes, hurt/comfort, heartbreak — please read warnings to each piece, reader discretion is advised

STATUS: COMPLETED a/n: thank you, each and every one of you, for reading and liking this story as much as you did. I will forever be grateful for the support I received on this one. 🖤

DOYLE: ....I’m just saying he’s projecting a certain kind of image, and asking for money isn’t part of it. He’s sensitive about that. CORDY (getting up): Oh, here he comes. Okay, we’re going to stand up to him. DOYLE (standing up): Yup, we’re standing up. CORDY: Just as soon as he’s had his coffee. DOYLE: Right. ANGEL: Morning. DOYLE and CORDY: Morning. (ANGEL pours himself a cup of coffee, drinks, makes a face) ANGEL: What is this? CORDY: Last week's coffee. Think of it as Espresso. ANGEL: I think my esophagus is melting.

Rating Info

Fiction Rating Key Here

"NR" = "Not Rated"

Authors' given ratings usually trusted, but "general audiences" and "K" or "K+" are increased to "FRT" because of original BtVS/AtS series' ratings. Occasional stronger ratings given when chance glances show they're needed. The "F-bomb" requires FRMA, no matter how it's used. Graphic depictions of violence and/or child sexual abuse deferred to next day's editor for private life reasons. Thanks for understanding. :-)
