For those who like reading about the shadier side of love and relationships. These are high quality stories in which romance isn't all fluff and sunshine and babies. There are other kinds of love, and that's what we like to read about. Obsession, betrayal, manipulation, forbidden affairs, stockholm syndrome, twisted relationships, disturbing pairings, endings where love does not conquer all... This is all about the dark side of love and lust. Multi-fandom. |
