I am a Mhin simp till the end of days but the potential for most angsty love story is with Leander.
Picture this: You're an outlaw. Always had to go without. Always had to fight. Your closest friend betrays you.
Now more penniless and alone than ever, you face death with nothing but regret.
Only you don't die. You wake up in a strange place in a strange bed. You're being tended to by ab even stranger man, who sends you to a fishy bar.
There you meet a familiar group of rascals. The kind you used to be around. You meet their leader too.
A charismatic man (they always are) who acts very friendly (they always do). He says he can handle your curse.
You don't believe him.He proves you wrong. It changes your life.
Now, you should know better than to fall for a pretty face and smooth talk. You've been burned before, not so long ago as a matter of fact.
But... you've never been held like that. Touched like that. Seen like that.
When was the last time you gave everything of yourself, without withholding anything? When was the last time you were cared for so well?
Can you really be blamed if you wanted to believe it was real and sincere, despite all the warnings, despite your own experience?
Leander loves you too. Of course he does. That's what makes it so difficult.
That's what will make the knife in your back hurt so much more. That's what makes it painful for the both of you.
I think you both knew this was a lie. He gave you the illusion because he loves you. Because (if the undead Leander theory is true) he will love you for a long time.It's proof that he is alive.
You believe it because you need to. And because you got to see him without the facade and loved him anyway.
You knew each other fully and chose to stay.
Here is the kicker: you loved him too much to save yourself but he didn't love you enough to save you from himself.
But you both knew that going into it. It doesn't make it any less beautiful.
"Flowers don't last but they make an impact", remember?

OCs and WIPs Masterlist
Here's every WIP, original and otherwise, I've got running right now. I've got older projects I may dig up someday and gods know I'll come up with more, so I'll add/subtract as things change.
Help me stay motivated! Feel free to ask anytime about any of these projects, characters, or fics!
Current fics:
Becoming is Unbecoming (IHNMAIMS, 9/? chapters)-- jelly!Ted finds the other survivors. Mostly hurt/comfort.
Sympathy for the Devil (IHNMAIMS, 1/? chapters)--AM gets trapped in Ted's head after the events of the game. Hurt/Comfort, angst, slow recovery, character exploration.
Original Stories:
Wyatt and Malcolm, aka the Oriaz Crew-- fantasy world with undead demon-slayers and the strange things they fight. The grumpy one is friends with the sunshine one. Found family out the wazoo.
Reid and Leif-- sci-fi fighter pilot rebelling against the system in the name of his lost brother. Technopathy and brain-to-brain interfacing. Political rebellion, global war, some aliens maybe.
Lenny-- a young tech nerd gets swept up in an Illuminati-esque organization fighting a supergenius who makes cyborgs. Body horror, found family, lots of violence and gore, spy-type stuff.
Mordred and Valiant-- an outlaw alchemist and a failed succubus both find out they're "special." The second closest thing to romance I'll ever write. Fantasy, gore, some religious critique, possibly sex.
Delphi, Shiloh, and Nestor-- in a post-WWIII world, mutants made for combat are finding other ways to survive. The closest thing to romance I'll ever write. Exploration of abusive relationships, sci-fi, a touch of noir, spy stuff, gay sex.
Shit I think about but never write:
Leander and Calleo-- what happens when the "chosen one" loses to the baddies; a world-ending demon is trapped in his long-suffering vessel, hijinks ensue.
Jason Liakos-- the son of a famous geneticist is legally claimed by the organization his dad made for having patented combat genes. Technically my first novel, not that I ever actually wrote it.
Tilion/Elijah and Autumn-- a dragonslayer from the past is transported to a future where dragons and humans coexist.
Mark and Jared-- a young mage discovers his place in an urban fantasy and finds himself, not proudly, the low man on the pole beside his hyper-powerful friends. YA-ish.
Cyrus-- manmade monster combat is everyone's favorite gladiator sport until someone enters a mostly-human combatant. Gore, body horror, poorly-written political intrigue.
Vaalik plots-- shapeshifting aliens invade earth. There are, like, three different plots that run through this concept at different points in the story. October is an amnesiac soldier that befriends an alien; London is part of the cleanup crew in the early days of the truce; Dez, Russ, and Kat run control on the results of mutating alien diseases.
Tom, Rich, and Basil-- three teenage boys on a crazy fun frat-boy adventure to expunge the demon from Tom's body. Not actually as fun as it sounds.
