Dustin + Santos + Halsey
This was my first throuple trope written by this author, and I was completely swept away. The story centers on a three wonderful characters—Santos, Halsey, and Dustin—and their journey toward healing, reconnection, and second chances. I found myself rooting for them from start to finish, aching for their reunion and the love they so clearly deserved.
The stakes were high: Santos faced a potentially career-ending injury while battling the suffocating control of his bigoted father, who tried to force him into conversion therapy and separate him from the people he loved most. The emotional tension was palpable, and I was on edge hoping Santos would find the strength to resist.
Each member of the throuple carried deep wounds:
• Halsey, torn from her loves by disapproving parents, tried to lock away her heart and earn their approval—only to be met with constant criticism.
• Dustin, the rockstar, spiraled into addiction and self-doubt, believing he wasn’t worthy of love or life.
• Santos, under his father’s thumb, poured himself into hockey, suppressing his true self to survive.
Their reunion was raw and powerful, set against a backdrop of crisis and emotional reckoning. Santos’ injury, Dustin’s despair, and Halsey’s breaking point with her mother’s relentless judgment all converged in a moment that demanded truth, vulnerability, and courage.
I’ll admit—I was impatient! I wanted them back together immediately. But the author wisely gave space for each character to confront their past and grow before reuniting. That slow burn made their eventual reconnection all the more satisfying.
This story was a deeply emotional, beautifully crafted read. I’m so glad to read it!
