The Shadow He Left Ao3 Novels & Stories

But not everything left. From the earth’s cracked veins rose a shadow. Not formed from death, but from what had been twisted and forgotten, a memory of Caden, carved in pain, made real through hate. The shadow-Caden stepped forward, grinning. “Touching, really. Trying to rewrite the end.” Selene stood. “You’re not real.” “Oh, but I am. Every wound you buried. Every lie he fed you. Every part of you that still loves him.” Selene flinched, and the shadow grew taller.

Serena wrapped her legs around him, drawing him in closer.

She simply looked at him with those lightless grey eyes, and I felt Killian’s heart rate spike through the bond. "Killian, stop!" I screamed. "She’s a psychic parasite!

If he notices you travel from one realm to another, he's bound to get you. Not to mention your lover is an impressive tracker." "I do not have a lover," Shadow said stiffly. But his eyes spoke a volume about his past with Clavier, his Kiran. It was just a past that Shadow would never regret. He thought about forgetting about those memories he had with Clavier, but no matter how hard he tried, the memories remained.
