#Twisted emotions

[coffeeinthebackpack]

I know we all love Nino and Kiara but goddamn I just read a Remo x Kiara fanfiction and now, I can't get the pairing out of my head.

[lighthousepigeons]

Remo: I miss Nino.

Kiara: Well, you still have me.

Remo: It's not the same, Kiara. I can talk to Nino about the things I can't talk about with you.

Kiara: Okay, like what?

Remo: Well, for instance, the annoying things that you do.

Kiara: REMO!

Remo: See, I can't talk to you.

[bookishpedia]

Serafina: Accept your flaws, you'll feel better. It worked for me.

Remo: You accepted your flaws?

Serafina: God, no! I accepted yours

"She’s seen me at my worst, and she’s still here.”

“Try to scare her as little as possible.”

“I can be pleasant and gentlemanly if I try,” he said.

Fabiano laughed. “Sorry, Remo, but that’s the best joke I heard in a while.”

...

“Before you, there was calm. There was order and logic.”

I remembered the beginning of his song, that perfect composition. “And now?” I let out a hoarse exhale.

“Now,” he growled and his expression twisted, “now there’s chaos.”

#3 | Twisted Pride - Remo & Serafina ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“I’m fairly sure God designed your body to drive men into insanity,” Remo said darkly.

Stifling the excited thrill Remo’s words sent through me, I retorted, “You believe in God?”

“No. I don’t. But looking at you, I could turn into a believer.”

#4 | Twisted Bonds - Nino & Kiara ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Remo touched my shoulder looking from the baby up to my face. “You are going home and talking to Kiara.”

#5 | Twisted Hearts - Savio & Gemma ⭐️⭐️⭐️

He became still. “You’re asking me to cancel your promise to my brother?”

I merely nodded. “Then he’ll be free to do as he pleases, and I can find someone who really wants to marry me.”

#6 | Twisted Cravings - Adamo & Dinara ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

“The role of Ken and Barbie in the family are already taken so we had to settle for the emo couple,” I shot back before I could think it through.

Nino Falcone—the man that you are. You better make space for a 3rd in that relationship with Kiara.

[critical-quoter]

Don't you understand? I am a woman. I'm guilty by default. It's always like that. They will say I asked for it. A smile means I'm flirting. A nice word means I'm asking for it. Revealing clothes mean I'm inviting touch. That is fact, Nino.

Summary

Nino Falcone is 2nd to the Capo of the Camorra and self-proclaimed sociopath - he claims to have no emotions. In fact, his friends and family get annoyed with him frequently because he comes up with reasonable and logical solutions to problems that most of them get really emotional about. He also happens to be one of the fiercest fighters to exist in the mafia underworld. He has been cage fighting for his whole life and feels no remorse killing and torturing others.

When push comes to shove and the Camorra and Famiglia are at a crossroads, Nino proposes a marriage between the families to increase trade and peace across the mid-west and eastern parts of the United States. The Camorra and Famiglia leads decide that Nino Falcone and Kiara Vitiello are the eligible respective family members for the marriage.

Kiara, at the ripe ol' age of 19, is scared shitless. She is the only child to survive her parents. Her father was brutally murdered by the head of the Famiglia for being a traitor, and her mother was killed incidentally as well. Kiara was sent to live with her aunt and uncle, who resented her because of her traitorous father. In fact, a different uncle brutally raped her at age 13 several times as punishment for being related to her traitorous father.

Kiara and Nino navigate their arranged marriage in an unexpectedly heartwarming story. Nino quickly deduces that Kiara is a victim of rape and teams up with his brothers to publicly humiliate and murder the rapist in her honor. He is also extremely patient with her, slowly working to earn her trust. She, in turn, reveals to Nino that perhaps he's not as cold-hearted as he thought.

Nino Falcone

YOOOO not gonna lie Nino reminds me a whole lot of my HUSBAND!! I'm convinced that, in another life, Nino Falcone makes an excellent mafia attorney. Not only is he logical and clever, but he uses it to rationalize his "simulated" emotions. For example: He understands that Kiara has a traumatic history and that, in order for her to trust him, he has no choice but to adjust his behavior to make her comfortable around him. It's just how people work!! and I LOVE THAT FOR THEM.

"I can cuff one of my hands to the headboard. What do you say? That would give you a sense of safety, don't you think?"

There is probably no better match for a person with sexual trauma than a logical, level-headed human being who can think through the consequences of their actions before they even do anything.

Kiara Vitiello/Falcone

I have had the privilege of not undergoing the trauma that Kiara went through so I don't understand her extreme fear and flinchiness.

I do think that, for someone who experienced brutal sexual trauma caused by a male, for her to be suddenly thrust into a home filled with sex-driven, aggressive men is probably fucking terrifying. I mean Nino, Remo, and the other men living in this house are I N S A T I A B L E. Luckily they don't Kiara catch wind of their sexual needs or activities.

All things considered, I'm impressed with how Kiara worked with Nino to grow their relationship and make the best out of a shitty situation. Super extra double bonus for Nino and Kiara for boosting her confidence and encouraging her to step out of the shadow of shame into the spotlight, commanding respect from her family that previously hated her (for things she never even did).

--------------------------

Who I would recommend this book for:

Anyone who can stomach depictions of child rape, molestation

Anyone who can stomach a child becoming an orphan and entering foster care

People who are okay with spousal infidelity when it is mutually agreed-upon

Mostly, if you are into mafia stories and can follow the intricacies that can come with it, this is the book for you. I was a little overwhelmed by the mafia plotlines. It got a little complicated for my tiny, smooth brain. But if you can't follow the plot lines, the romance is still superb.

Despite the dark, twisty beginnings of Kiara and Nino, their love story ended up being one of the most heartwarming stories I've read in a while. Maybe because I can relate to a history of sexual trauma, but having a partner who listens, understands, is hypervigilant and overly communicative is a great match. A partner like that helps you heal from your past.

But also...makes for a BANGIN sex life. Kiara and Nino explore a lot for Kiaras' psyche's sake but also for pleasure 😛

Nino: I thought you were decorating for Halloween.

Kiara: I am.

Nino: You're just hanging pictures of Remo.

Kiara: You said you wanted scary decorations.

Dante: You have two options

Remo: Death

Dante: I didn't even say the yet.

Remo: Death is always an option.

[bookhermitt]

Trust. Tenderness. And so many more emotions I didn’t understand. I’d never truly resented my incapability to feel, but in this moment I did.

doylist explanation for why Gidel is only in Fellow's non-idle lesson animations: probably something about space constraints and making sure two sprites in one seat aren't covering anyone else when they're not in focus

watsonian explanation for why Gidel is only in Fellow's non-idle lesson animations: he snuck in and is hiding from the teachers, don't give him away 🤫

(I've reached my limit of unsuccessful attempts at pulling them before I need to save keys for Halloween, so I've been living vicariously through youtube videos...but the fact that Gidel just pops up from under the desk to wave his arms around happily is really testing my resolve. D: I'm gonna die when they finally get to do alchemy...)
