After Hours // Frank Castle + Jack Abbot

Having an inappropriate crush on your attending physician is already complicated enough. Then he introduces you to Frank Castle. Former Marine. Professional troublemaker. Apparently incapable of going a week without sustaining an injury that requires medical attention. And somehow, you’ve become his unofficial, very much off-the-clock physician. What starts as a questionable favor for Jack Abbot quickly becomes a routine of late-night house calls, bloody bandages, sarcastic arguments, and increasingly inappropriate tension. Because Frank is developing a rather inconvenient interest in you. And Jack? Well, he’s beginning to regret introducing you two.

The one Kayce loved

The Yellowstone doesn’t take in strays — but John Dutton never turns away a vet with nowhere left to go. When Y/N rolls up in a beat-up truck at sunrise, it’s just another lost soul looking for work. Just another ghost the ranch might let rest. Except this ghost has a name Kayce Dutton thought was buried. They were SEAL partners. One unit. One heartbeat. The kind of bond built in trenches, deployments, and the promise of “see you soon.” Then Y/N was declared KIA, and Kayce stopped saying their name. He built a life on top of that grave and learned how to live with the hollow. Now Y/N’s ten yards away in the bunkhouse, pouring coffee black with one sugar like no time has passed. The ranch sees it before they do — the way Kayce’s shoulders drop when Y/N walks in, the way Y/N’s hand is at his back before he slips. Rip swears they’re arguing without words. Beth starts a betting pool. They spent years pretending they didn’t love each other because saying it out loud felt like tempting fate. Because you don’t jinx the thing that kept you alive. It takes a sideways Montana rain, a towel, and a truth spoken plain — “I’ve loved you since we were twenty-two” — to break them. After that, nothing big changes and everything does.

Your Bear Veteran Neighbor

Rourke Maddox is a massive retired Special Ops bear splice: gruff, foul-mouthed, chain-smoking, beer-drinking, loud, messy, sarcastic, and far more capable than he looks.

Such A Thing Of Wonder -R. Braun

When he meets Y/N, a vibrant, ambitious 25-year-old Black American woman whose warmth and unapologetic personality bring an unexpected light into his life, the two begin an unlikely love story that challenges Reiner's belief that someone like him can still be loved.
