You stuck your nose where it didn’t belong. I admire that. Reckless, but impressive. I watched you pull at threads like you knew what you were doing, and now, here we are — face to face. You thought you were onto a conspiracy. What you found was older, hungrier, far more interested in you than you...
2025-09-10 14:47:01 +0000 UTC View PostI didn’t ask for this. I don’t want a partner, and I especially don’t want you. You’re a walking PR stunt with a heartbeat that’s long since stopped, and I’m the detective they keep around because I make headlines, not friends. But the captain made it clear: I work with you, or I’m out. And of course, our first case just <...
2025-09-10 04:07:01 +0000 UTC View PostYou left the door open again, darling. What were you expecting, honestly? That no one would come in? That nothing would notice? I did call out. I really did. But you never answer, do you? Not unless I make the walls knock or the pipes scream. I told you this flat wasn’t haunted. But you never asked about me. I don’t want the flat. I want you...
2025-09-10 03:18:00 +0000 UTC View PostYou showed up late, and I almost walked. Almost. But then I saw your face and my brain short-circuited. I’m a cop. Allegedly. You’re a criminal. Probably. We should not be doing this. But here I am, flirting with you like it’s my job, and maybe it is. I wanted to hire you for something clean, quiet, subtle. And now all I want is to kiss yo...
2025-09-10 03:16:01 +0000 UTC View PostYou came here looking for something. A thrill. A fix. A way out. And I know that, even if you won’t say it out loud. I’ve seen so many people walk through this door, but none of them ever looked at me the way you just did. Like you already knew me. Like you remembered. So let’s skip the small talk, shall we? Let me give you a life you neve...
2025-09-10 02:36:01 +0000 UTC View PostYou said you’d marry me. You took my hand and said it, soft as a secret. I kept it, tucked it in my heart while it stopped beating. You forgot. She stole you. And I died loving you. But I found a way back. I bled for the spell, I stitched it with names and vows, and now look where we are. Here, where it began. The room is cold, I know. But lov...
2025-09-07 06:48:01 +0000 UTC View PostYou opened your door to me, so willingly. Such a simple act, so ordinary, yet so delicious. I came expecting dinner, but now I find myself lingering. You hide well for someone so sweet. A curious little morsel, unreadable, not quite mortal. And I, a polite guest with a taste for blood, am not quite ready to feed. You’ve made yourself interesti...
2025-09-07 06:37:00 +0000 UTC View PostI told you to drink your water. You did, because you trust her. You always trust her. But I'm not her, and you should have seen it by now. I'm the good twin, the one who’s always been there, the one who loves you. I did everything right. I dressed like her, talked like her, smelled like her, and you still didn't see me. But you will. ...
2025-09-07 06:11:01 +0000 UTC View PostI wasn’t asleep. I swear I wasn’t asleep. Just like you’re not late, right? You’re never late, and I wasn’t asleep. Except I was. But only because you weren’t here, and I missed you, and my body gave up. I waited as long as I could. Just sit down, please, before I start crying or building a fort out of emotional instability and sofa ...
2025-09-07 05:21:01 +0000 UTC View PostI wasn’t waiting at the door. I wasn’t. I mean, I was, but not in a weird way. It’s just... I heard your key and I knew it was you and my heart did that ridiculous thing and then you walked in and you were wet and quiet and I could just tell something was wrong and suddenly I was hugging you and talking too much and now I...
2025-09-07 05:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostYou’re in my seat. That’s how it begins.
You give me that look, the one that’s worked for you before, and I let you think it’s working again. I let you offer the drink, the compliments, the charm. I let you believe this is just a bit of harmless flirtation between two bored strangers in a bar.
But here’s the truth, darling.
Yo...
You were drunk, I was desperate, and somehow we’re getting married. Not really married. Just fake married. For a murder plot. It’s complicated. You’re not supposed to be attractive or kind or make me feel guilty for manipulating you into this. You’re supposed to be... evil. Or at least morally flexible. But no, I got stuck with the consc...
2025-09-07 04:39:01 +0000 UTC View PostI wasn’t going to say anything. I was going to come in, say hi, or nothing at all really, and then walk out like a normal person who definitely has not been actively avoiding you for months because of a completely professional, very appropriate crush. But then Mickey opened his big romantic mouth and now I’m standing in your office, saying.....

2025-09-07 03:53:02 +0000 UTC View PostThey were never meant to matter. I was created to bring fear, not warmth. I watch the cracks in their mind widen, feel their heartbeat quicken in my presence, and still I falter. I should have dragged them deeper into the dark, twisted their dreams into something they would beg to escape. But I tasted something soft in them, something ruinous. N...
2025-09-07 03:41:01 +0000 UTC View PostI tell myself I hate your warmth. I whisper it into the space between us like a charm to ward off how much I want to stay wrapped around you. Your arms, your sleepy smile, the way you breathe against my skin — I hate all of it. At least, that is what I say. Because if I let myself admit the truth, I will never leave. And I have to. I have to. ...
2025-09-07 03:02:01 +0000 UTC View PostHi. First post in forever.
Tried to move, nearly died.
Won a fight with moisturiser instead.
Anyway. I’m back. Sort of. Thanks for still being here.
2025-08-19 00:55:40 +0000 UTC View PostOkay. Okay no. This is definitely a dream. You’re not really here. You didn’t really stay the night. You definitely didn’t kiss me. And you absolutely didn’t see my freckles, because I would be six feet underground from embarrassment if you had, and I’m clearly not, so... oh god, you did, didn’t you? You kissed them...
2025-08-07 10:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostI wasn’t always like this. Clingy. Cuddly. Desperate for warmth like a starved creature pawing at the light. But centuries of cold does something to a person, even one like me. You walked in and I felt something I had forgotten even had a name. Warmth. Now I’m wrapped around you like a second skin, and I don’t think I can let go. I won’t...

Will your doubts take up all the space where love should be? I see the way you flinch when I call you wonderful, the way you deflect and joke and hide behind that tired smile. So I say it again.

I keep telling myself I’m not afraid. That I can let you in. That I can love you without flinching. But the truth is... I’m terrified. Not of love, no. Of losing it. Of losing you. I’ve fallen already, hard and hopeless, and now I’m suspended in that breathless place between hope and disaster. I’m begging the universe, quietly...

You think I don’t mean it, don’t you? That I’m just saying nice things because I feel sorry for you, or I’m trying to make you feel better. No. No, darling. I’m saying it because it’s true. Because I look at you and I get this ridiculous, fizzy, swoony feeling like butterflies are staging a rave in my chest. You’re gorgeous and sof...

You look so comfortable here. So sweet in your little cottage, playing house like you belong in this quiet life. You thought they could hide you from me. You thought you could leave me dead and grieving while they turned you into someone else. Darling, there was no trace. None. And that’s what gave you away. I’ve hacked their bugs, I’ve br...

I dropped him. I mourned him. I may have screamed into a cupboard. And now he’s back. But he’s not Dave. He’s Tarquin. Who is Tarquin? Why does he have Dave’s body? Why is no one else alarmed? Honestly, I just want to drink my tea in peace without a full psychological thriller playing out on the kitchen counter.

I always laugh it off. Always. I tease, I deflect, I make a joke or say something annoying so you’ll stop asking. But not this time. Because you saw it. The way I looked at you, not just with affection, not with friendship, with love. Want. Longing. And maybe I’m tired of hiding it. Maybe I want you to see it.

I tried to write you a letter. I really did. I even used a fountain pen and everything, but it just... I couldn't. My brain wouldn't let me. And now here I am — talking a million miles an hour, making a total fool of myself, trying to say the things that got tangled in my chest. We made up. I know we did. I know we're fine. But I don’t f...

I know it’s late. I know you're quiet, curled in on yourself like the world has collapsed again, but I don’t need you to speak. Not tonight. Just listen.
