Shadows of Desire: Dark AU - "What If Everything Went Wrong?" (Patreon Exclusive)

What if Alex hadn't backed down? What if the police hadn't arrived in time? What if everything that could go wrong... did?

I'm introducing Shadows of Desire: Dark AU - a completely separate alternate universe that explores the darkest possible timeline for our characters. This is NOT part of the main story. Think of it as a "what if" exploration that has no impact on Callie and Luca's real journey.

What is this exactly?

• A psychological thriller version of the story

• Explores themes of survival, obsession, and the lengths people go to for love

• Much darker content than the main series

• Completely separate timeline - none of this affects the main story

• 4-5 chapter arc with complete resolution

So, why am I doing this?
Honestly, it lets me stretch my writing muscles in a different direction while you guys wait for Season 2 of the main story.

Content Warnings (please read carefully):

• Kidnapping/abduction scenarios

• Psychological manipulation and mind games

• Threats of violence (not graphic violence)

• Intense psychological thriller elements

• Trauma and survival themes

• Non-consensual photography/messages

• This is genuinely dark content - much more intense than main series

What about the main story? Season 2 of the main Shadows of Desire is still coming! This Dark AU doesn't slow that down at all. If anything, it's keeping me writing and engaged while planning the main story continuation.

I'm nervous about this, to be honest. It's darker than my usual content, and I know not everyone will be interested. But I think for those who are, it could be a really intense, compelling read.

‼️‼️First Chapter will be released next week, and don't worry the ongoing story (Internal Affairs) will still continue to be updated. This is just a little something for my subscribers.‼️‼️

Let me know in the comments - are you interested in this darker exploration? Any questions about what to expect?

As always, thank you for your support and for being such an amazing community of readers.

Best,
Rory
