Summary
In Zaun, nothing comes without a price—least of all power.
You're no stranger to surviving. To bartering body and silence for safety. But when a job places you directly under the eye of Zaun’s most dangerous man, the rules begin to shift. Silco doesn’t make idle threats—and he never repeats himself.What starts as a transactional arrangement soon becomes something far more complicated. He’s ruthless, calculating, and unreadable. And yet, behind the mask, something stirs—something fractured, something human.
As loyalty deepens and lines blur, you begin to realize the most dangerous thing in Zaun isn’t what Silco does to his enemies.
It’s what he awakens in you.

Summary
In the shadowed corridors of Undercity, you deliberately sabotage your own success to provoke the wrath—and attention—of Silco, the Undercity’s most dangerous crime lord. But when your calculated disobedience earns you a private audience, you realize too late that Silco doesn’t play games. What begins as punishment blurs into obsession, as dominance and desire collide in a brutal dance of submission, pain, and unexpected vulnerability. And when the high fades, both of you are left wondering: who’s really in control?

Summary
You've been drawn back into Silco’s orbit after weeks of silence, uncertain of what awaits you. But within the walls of the old aquarium, the distance between you feels thinner than glass—fragile, waiting to break. And when it does, it isn't with words, but with touch, control, and a kind of attention that leaves you breathless. In this moment, it's unclear whether you're being tested, punished, or worshipped. But one thing is certain: this will change you both.

Summary
You weren’t supposed to matter. Not like this.
When a beating leaves you broken on the floor, it’s Silco who finds you—rage simmering just beneath his skin, hands bloodied from the man who dared touch what’s his. He crosses a line he swore he never would.
It’s not love. Not quite. It's something darker.
And in the undercity, that’s the most dangerous thing of all.Series

Summary
You waited. In silence. For months. So you made a move—a calculated one. Took jobs from a rival crew, let your actions do the talking. Let the streets whisper lies. Let them say Silco didn’t want you anymore. But Silco doesn’t just let go. Not of what's his. Now he’s back—not with a plea, but with a lesson. One that will leave his name carved into your skin and burned into your memory.
You wanted proof? You’ll bleed for it.

Summary
The morning after, there’s warmth. Not fire-but something softer. Safer. You wake in his arms, kiss his cheek, and let yourself imagine what it might mean to stay.
But the Undercity doesn’t wait for lovers to figure themselves out.
There's a knock. A warning. You're dragged from the bar before Silco can finish dressing, you're gone before anyone knows you're missing. And when he finds out-when he realizes you’ve been taken-Silco doesn't rage. He calculates.
Then he hunts.

Summary
You’ve healed. Mostly.
No more bandages. No more IVs. But the silence hasn’t faded—not between words, not between sheets. Silco hasn’t touched you like that since he carried you out of the warehouse broken and bleeding. And you can’t stand the distance anymore.
So you close it.
