When Bella receives a provoking message from a stranger on Instagram, intrigue ensues. Who is this Masen person? And what the hell does he want?

As a woman alone in a world gone wild, Bella couldn't trust anyone. It had been two years since a deadly virus was released in all of the world's major cities. The population is decimated. Modern society is a thing of the past. The things we do to survive.

This summer was going to change everything. We just weren't prepared for how much.

"Is that all it takes, to make someone a relative stranger again? Five-ish months of a not-so-trial separation? She'd expected it to take longer."

He's her warning. She's his sweet temptation. An addict always wants what he can't have, even if it will ruin him. "Speak of the devil and she shall appear. Who am I kidding? I'm Beelzebub."

A story of perseverance & the lack thereof. For the downtrodden. About love & loss along with the betrayal & bitterness that ensues in its aftermath. Long story short, a story about Hades & how maybe he's not the bad guy, after all. 1/4 c Lucifer. 2 tbsp Meet Joe Black. 1 heaping swig of Twilight. Misc nonsense. Liberties with Greek mythology. MA, ExB AH (sort of) blah, blah, blah

Upon waking, there's a brief, blissful period in which you don't yet recall the sins of the night before, but eventually, you have to open your eyes. I'm Bella Swan, seventeen years old, cheerleader. This morning I woke up in the wrong bed.

With too many secrets and a haunting past she'd love to forget, at seventeen, Bella is sure love doesn't exist. College dropout Edward Cullen can't seem to keep hold of love, or his music. A cottage, a lake, a tree, a muse, wrong choices, and heartache. How will these two cope with life and keep afloat? A daily word-prompt WitFit. Alternates between past and present. AH E/B

Damaged Edward, damaged Bella. Two sides of the same scarred coin. When one side is up, the other is down. Language and lots of it. Lemons eventually. It's a slow burn, slow and painful. Mature. Lots of random pop culture references. AH, AU, ExB.
