Velvet Graves (Gothic MM Romance) — trope checklist:

• Second chance romance ✅

• Forbidden love ✅

• Slow burn ✅

• Found family (sort of — found town) ✅

• One of them was literally chosen to die ✅ (upped the stakes a little)

Coastal Maine, a flooded cathedral, and a guy who left ten years ago coming back to find his best friend scheduled for sacrifice. It's Song of Achilles meets Twilight meets "please stop drowning my boyfriend."
