    Summary

    You thought you wouldn’t recognize yourself because of how especially beautiful you looked…but that wasn’t it.

    For the life of you, you just couldn’t help the light frown on your face, the worry on display in the crinkles on your forehead. You couldn't recognize yourself because everything was perfect, and you still had a misplaced look of unhappiness.

    You looked like a…like a ghost of yourself. Your mind bit bitterly back at you when you said that word, knowing the pull it had on your heart.

    OR

    Dark Ghost is back, and steals you from your wedding. :)

    Summary

    Years ago—back when her world had been hospital hallways and fluorescent lights—she’d learned how fear worked.

    It wasn’t the screaming kind people imagined. It was quieter than that. It slipped in under the skin, slowed time, turned the body inward on itself. She’d seen it in patients who froze when blood hit the floor, in parents whose hands shook too hard to hold onto their children, in interns who went pale and empty the moment something went wrong.

    Fear locked joints. Stole fine motor control. Made people small.

    Adrenaline was different. Adrenaline sharpened. It narrowed the world into something manageable, stripped it down to essentials. Breathing. Pressure. Warmth. Stay alive.

    Summary

    Simon has spent his entire life learning the architecture of cages. How to stitch his rage shut. How to swallow the hunger until it sits heavy and cold in his gut.
    Then you walk into his orbit. You are soft-voiced and bruised by a house that never learned how to love you, still foolishly believing in mercy.
    He tells himself you’re off-limits. You are too fragile, and he is a weapon waiting to misfire.
    But obsession is a quiet, creeping thing. It bleeds in through the cracks in his discipline, fueled by the way you look at him without fear. He knows he is cracked glass held together by duty and duct tape. He knows that loving you is an act of violence in itself.
    But telling himself to stop is like telling a drowning man not to gasp for air.
    He is starving, and you are the only thing that feeds the void. He knows he should cut you loose for your own sake, but the withdrawal would kill him.
    So he stays.
    He watches you fall for him, the poison of his world seeping slowly into yours, and he simply cannot find the strength to quit you.

    Summary

    Simon Riley is not a particularly nice student. He's tolerable at best. He sticks to himself and keeps an eye on his little brother. School is just a free meal ticket right now. So when he's forced to sit in English Literature Revision as punishment for falling behind, He dreads the fact that you are there to witness him. See him.
    He's run into you before. And he doesn't know how to categorise the feelings he has for you, not as you make it so easy for him to sit next to you.

    Years later, despite having shoved you out of his life, you slip back into it somehow. It drives him nuts.

    Or alternatively -

    Teenage Simon Riley being fucking horrid to himself as he crushes on the reader then Adult Simon Riley also being fucking horrid to himself when he's reunited with her.
