Summary
Mike Ross is finally out of prison. But freedom isn’t as simple as stepping outside the gates. Haunted by the trauma of his time inside and unresolved grief over his relationship with Rachel, Mike struggles to find his footing in a world that’s moved on without him.
Harvey Specter is there to pick him up, but Harvey carries his own baggage—his mother’s betrayal, years of buried anger, and guilt that he never fully allowed himself to feel.
As they lean on each other for support, both men are forced to confront everything they’ve avoided for years: trust, grief, betrayal, and the painful process of healing.
A slow-burn love story about processing trauma, finding peace, and choosing each other—fully and completely.

Summary
“What if I can’t be the person you want me to be?”
Axel Ramirez never expected much after prison—just a grim halfway house, a fading city, and silence from the world he used to know. But then there's Roxas: his probation officer, his second chance, and the only person who looks at him like he’s not a lost cause. Roxas sees more in Axel than even Axel dares to hope for. And Axel? He sees something terrifying in Roxas: a future he might not deserve.
But healing isn’t linear, and neither is falling for someone you shouldn’t. Axel is still haunted by old scars—on his body, in his past—and as his former life tries to claw him back in, he’ll have to choose whether to let Roxas in... or push him away for good. In a world where rules keep them apart and their pasts refuse to stay buried… is falling for each other the biggest mistake they’ll ever make? I guess sometimes love sometimes arrives wearing all the wrong labels.

Summary
Set the day Mike gets released from prison. He tells Harvey the wrong time, making a plan to end his life, but ultimately goes to Harvey for help instead. Chronicles about a year of Mike's post-prison PTSD and mental health recovery. Possible triggers for suicide, depression, PTSD, eating disorders, and using alcohol to self-medicate.
This is a deep Mike character study, so Mike has a very cheeky, self-deprecating, and suicidal inner monologue, particularly at the beginning.
Please, please, please read safely.
The show did post-prison Mike so dirty (I may or may not blame Rachel). I needed a fix-it of sorts. Note: Rachel and Mike are already over by the start of the fic.
Part 10 of my "Our Song(s)" series of one-shots based on Taylor Swift songs. Lyrics are woven throughout, but you don't need to be a fan to read it. This one is based on "This is Me Trying."

But nothing had ever really been normal, had it?

Summary
It’s been almost twenty years since Benson Roche was sentenced to carry out four life sentences at G.H. Lemoine Correctional. Twenty-one since he had murdered his and Randy’s coworkers on a cool and bland January morning, since he had beaten Elliot Sheppard to death in the middle of Bill Snyder Elementary’s parking lot, had taken Miss Beard hostage only at Randy’s insistence he not kill her, had shot Marsha at the end of her shift at the Kutzburg Diner. Twenty-one years since he had forced Randy to drive around town with him for hours, laughing at him, maybe believing it was with him—driving around and never once trying to leave town, intent only on curing Randy of all that made him the most pathetic 21-year-old he had ever seen. Twenty-one years since he gave Randy the small white divot scars on either side of his shoulder that still twinge now and again in a flutter of permanently-confused nerves.
Twenty-one years since he became Randy’s captor. Twenty-one years since he became Randy’s only friend in the world, if only for a day. Since he had created the clean and even division of years in Randy’s life — Before Benson and anno Domini nostri Benson Roche.
In seven months, he'll be eligible for parole.
