Fated Black-Hearted Souls - A Wyler Fanfiction & Redemption Arc

Color me obsessed, but I’m addicted to the idea of Wednesday Addams and Tyler Galpin having a passionate and epic romance. Am I nerd? Yeah. An obsessed fangirl? Also yes. Therefore, I wrote a fanfiction post-season 2 titled Fated Black-Hearted Souls and posted it across AO3, Wattpad, and fanfiction.net (direct links are posted toward the end of this blog and on authorkrcook.com/fanfiction).

For the record, and before we continue: I DO NOT USE AI. Period.

Maybe it’s the soft dark romance girl in me, but I’ve been in stitches over a Tyler/Wednesday romance since season 1 came out in 2022. He was like the golden retriever to her black cat. Wednesday has walls up - for good reason ‘cause the world is indeed a cruel place (as Mother Gothel rightfully said) - but I’m a romantic at heart and wanted Tyler to EARN tearing down her walls and be her “pillaging the world together” beau. Unfortunately, he turned out to be a villain, but I fully believe that boy was NOT faking desiring Wednesday. He definitely didn’t fake that kiss at Weathervane. The whole torturing him bit buried Tyler beneath his Hyde persona, which I do explain in my Fanfic. Tyler deserves a redemption arc, so I gave him one. He and Wednesday also deserve a happily-ever-after, and I am a romance author with the power to provide that for them. Paranormal Romance/Monster Romance is my specialty, as is writing from the POV of a tortured MMC (male main character).

I was itching to write a story for them. To give Tyler another chance to be a hero and not constantly manipulated and abused. To give Wednesday a chance to take a look in the mirror and realize her part in that abuse (e.g. torturing him for information rather than having a heart-to-heart, and then attempting to inject him with a plant-derived chemical to MAKE him succumb to her as his new master). BOTH are things Laurel did - torture, manipulation, forcing herself on him as a master. Even his own mother took away his autonomy when she went against his wishes to de-hyde him at Iago Tower. His uncle didn’t care whether he lived or died. His father loved him, but he kept secrets and shut his son out in many ways. I wanted to touch base on so many topics, and I do in my story.

I also wanted to explore what goes on in Wednesday’s mind. She’s often misunderstood, seen as the “goth girl without a care in the world”. Wednesday is just as complex as anyone else, and just like the rest of us, she has insecurities that drag her down on occasion. Forgiving someone who nearly killed two of her closest friends, threw her out a window while in extra dark Hyde mode, and wanted her dead for the longest time is not going to be easy for her, and she certainly won’t make things easy on Tyler. While Wednesday may eventually forgive Tyler, she’s no pushover. On the contrary, she’ll make you regret it. In her own words: “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, and I’ll make you pay in the most excruciating way.”

This story might a bit of a slow burn, as one user commented “Finally!” when our fav black-hearted couple kissed at the end of chapter six. Is there yearning, passion, tension? 100%! Danger? Of course. Would he burn the world down and die for her? Absolutely. Tyler is a morally gray anti-hero. I’d say Wednesday is his weakness, but she’s actually his strength, giving him that extra push to be his best Hyde.

Other characters make a return as well: Thing, Fester, Enid, Morticia, Gomez, Pugsley, Eugene, Capri, and more. There will also be a surprise character entering the game. And as a romance author, I can’t help but provide love interests for a few other characters…

This story is available on AO3, Wattpad and Fanfiction.net. Chapters will be posted every Wednesday.

Summary:

While on the hunt for Enid, Wednesday finds herself in Hyde territory during an impending winter storm. The last person she expects to come to her rescue is the Hyde she set free and gave a second chance to in Iago Tower: Tyler Galpin. Tyler never expected to see Wednesday again, but after witnessing her nearly be shredded by Hydes, he vows to save and protect his merciful ex.

Between surviving Camp Hyde, the rumored beast in the woods, returning to Nervermore and Willow Hill, and saving Enid, Tyler and Wednesday's relationship is constantly challenged and interrupted (partly thanks to Fester). Both must fight for what they truly want and for each other.

In this enemies-to-lovers, second chance Wyler fanfiction romance, Tyler Galpin gets a second chance at being a hero and overcoming his past and the mistakes he made. Wednesday has the chance to see the part she played in Tyler's villain story and to overcome her own insecurities and fears. Both are given the opportunity to start over and be together without secrets, vendettas, or ulterior motives hanging over the relationship.

Written from a present-tense, dual POV, we get to get inside both character's minds. POVs switch between chapters. New chapters to be uploaded every Wednesday. Links are below.

Before I could chop him up like one of my old dolls, I realized a startling revelation: I loved Tyler Gaplin. It’s irrational and reckless, but as my mother would say, so am I.

Did I also spend hours making a cover to support this Wyler Fanfiction? Yep! It’s not my best work, I’ll admit, but the writing is certainly better. For the skilled artists reading this story and itching to make a different cover, feel free to share your creative insight.

Fated Black-Hearted Souls, the title of the literary Wyler Fanfiction piece, sits up top on the cover surrounded by an ethereal purple/pink aurora-type glow. A grayish-blue and white snowy mountain landscape is depicted in the background while a blanket of snow is at the bottom-front of the cover. Thing, Wednesday Addams appendage family member, sits in the blanket of snow with blood spatter near his fingers. A few blue snowflakes trickle down from the title. On each side of the cover, purple flowers on a green vine are crawling up from the snow toward the title, a singular crow sitting on each. At the bottom, the text “Written By K.R. Cook (Fairgoddess)” is shown. Cover made using Canva Pro.
