centers on the relationship between an underaged kid and a pedophile. reads as cautionary rather than romantic without tiptoeing around the subject, so i’m interested in seeing how it develops.
short
a personal favorite of mine; main con is gratuitous rape scenes. has a strong balance between hope and despair, and becomes a realistic tragedy without overplaying the angst to an immersion-breaking degree. everyone is very human.
oneshot
really fun story centering around an explicitly evil character—there is no redemption or hero’s journey, only the obvious outcomes of falling for a demon’s wiles.
good lord, this is good. chapter 5 fucking killed me in my own room.
a romance story that’s not really for romance readers. favorite among favorites.
