Summary
Rue Bennett dies at 21—falling down a set of floating stairs at a party she should’ve never attended. She leaves behind two daughters, a mother who warned her, and a husband who loved her too late. It was a life she fit herself into because that's what you do.
In the summer of 2023, Nate Jacobs becomes a reluctant widower and the architect of a life built on performance. As Rue becomes a ghost in his home, he’s forced to confront what it means to parent in her absence—and to grieve someone he never fully understood.
It isn’t a story of recovery. It’s what remains when the person holding your chaos disappears.

Summary
Corinth, 89 CE. Rhoebe Benetos is sold into marriage to Naxios Iacobus—second son of a powerful Roman family—as a political solution to save her mother and sister from ruin. Once a free Greek girl with Kushite and Greek roots, she becomes the quiet wife on occupied land, watched by Roman guards and stripped of her rituals. But Naxios, cold and exacting, does not strike her. He preserves her. Polishes her. Possesses her. And in return, she begins to haunt him.
Set against a backdrop of olive groves, gods in exile, and a household divided by legacy and ambition, IN THE HOUSE OF JUPITER, SHE DREAMS OF DEMETER is a dark romance born from silence, power, and slow undoing. -

Summary
Rue Bennett sits under the fluorescent buzz of Interrogation Two, the faucet dripping in time with her pulse. Reality, memory, and hallucination tangle until she can’t tell what’s happening now and what’s only in her head. Cal’s blood. Nate’s hands. Detective Rivers’ voice. The drip, always the drip. She repeats it like a prayer: I didn’t do anything. But the silence doesn’t believe her.
A companion one-shot to Terrible Things—dreamlike, fragmented, Rue’s POV dissolving under guilt, love, and obsession.

Summary
“Their lavender wasn’t pastel. It wasn’t aesthetic. It was the purple of a bruise—dark, deep, vascular. Something that lingered long after the blow. Their marriage wasn’t a veil. It was a wound they’d agreed to live inside.”
'BRUISE' tells the story in fragments: soft fights, too-late honesty, bed-sharing, body-sharing, a little bit of sex, and a lot of closeness that doesn’t fit cleanly in anyone’s vocabulary. Rue and Nate are married. Kind of. They fuck. Sometimes. They love each other, maybe. Or maybe they just stopped looking for exits. This isn’t a redemption arc. It’s just what happens when the performance never ends, and the intimacy is real—even when everything else isn’t.

Summary
“I didn’t think you’d call,” Rue admits, hating the vulnerability in her voice. But silence is impossible between them. Nate keeps his cards so close that Rue feels she has to bear her every thought just to keep him within reach.
“I’ll always call,” Nate murmurs, facing her. “You’re my girl.” He says it so simply that it catches her off guard. It always does. He rarely speaks, and when he does, it’s even rarer for it to be affectionate.

Summary
AU: Nate Jacobs is recovering, likes to make lists, and is a little too fascinated by human behaviour.

Summary
When Rue grins, she’s terrifying. Her joy seems like a separate beast she keeps tethered to her side. She holds up the syringe. She checks the pressure, taps the needle and makes sure there’s no air bubble.
That would defeat the point.Rue bends down.
“Ever had one of those sexy nurse fantasies?”
