    Summary

    Megumi Fushiguro is a journalist who prefers facts over fate. When he’s assigned to cover a local university’s art exhibition, he expects nothing more than another routine article.

    Then he meets Itadori Yuji -- the artist behind the exhibit’s most talked-about painting, with a smile Megumi can’t quite forget.

    An interview turns into tutoring, and before long Megumi finds himself sticking around long after the papers are printed.

    Or: Megumi accidentally gets in way too deep with someone he was only supposed to interview once.

    Summary

    At the young age of merely 13, Kambria was taken by a ruthless gang who goes by "the O'Driscoll's" while being robbed from her home in Saint Denis.
    Taking a child captive until her parents pay up their riches, Colm is met with the disappointing announcement that Mr. and Mrs. Shaull had skipped town, leaving the orphan Kambria with the gang of murderous gunslingers. While Colm had planned on all that money being dumped into his lap, he supposed that Kambria will just have to take on her family's due payments.
    Forcing the child into gunslinging and placing the minor on dangerous jobs wasn't enough. But it would never be enough. Kambria, or Kam now, would stay with the O'Driscoll's for nearly 20 years, gaining the trust of the gang, especially Colm's.
    However, there are always rivals to the West, and rivals such as the Van der Linde gang will stop at nothing for revenge. Revenge such as taking Colm's right hand. Kam is stubborn and refuses to give out any information... no matter what pain the Van der Linde Gang gives her...

    Summary

    Furukawa Chie, an autistic girl who works as a kitchen assistant in the family business, has no greater concern than satisfying her demanding father's matchmaking expectations. However, everything changes when the restaurant collapses over an unfortunate member of the Shinsengumi, rendering him disabled for life as payment for attempting to save her life.

    Tani Sanjuro, a young man as impertinent and smug as he's skilled with the spear, becomes (to the annoyance of many and the delight of few) the captain of the Shinsengumi's 7th division. But the danger of his appointment doesn't stem from his clear contempt for the peasant class, but rather from the fickle plans of whoever is pulling the strings that determine his fate.

    Furukawa Kohana, a maiko from Shimabara who longs to flee the city and return to the lush meadows where she was born, sees her hopes dashed when the ruthless Shinsengumi puts a crushing end to her dreams of freedom. The Shogunate's sentence, however, pales in comparison to the obstacle posed by the whirlwind of intrigue that her non-human nature will unleash.

    Summary

    Sparkle quietly arrives on Jarilo-VI to visit her “old friend.” But an unexpected surprise awaits—she finds him entangled in some rather… peculiar emotions. This isn’t the Sampo she knows. She decides to lend him a little help…

    But first? She’s got a show to enjoy.

    -

    This is a canon-divergent, slow-burn Gepard/Sampo romance set post-Stellaron Crisis.

    Gepard: Protective to a fault. Haunted by PTSD after witnessing Sampo’s torture. Battles depression and self-destructive urges.

    Sampo: A master of deflection, burying childhood trauma and deep-seated worthlessness under layers of jokes. Will sacrifice himself without hesitation… but can’t fathom being loved in return.

    This story is about two broken men learning to trust, heal, and love each other. Expect pining, hurt/comfort, emotional intimacy, explicit smut, and a hard-won, 100% happy ending.

    If you're looking for a bittersweet story—where the angst is heavy but always serves the plot, and where the hurt always gets followed by comfort—this is for you.

    Notes: mob!Sampo, rape, torture, sexual abuse, trauma—all from third-party villains. No abuse between them. Their bond is mutual care, consent, and healing.

    Summary

    At U.A. High, Kyoka Jirou is perfectly fine being invisible.

    She has her music, her manga and the comforting weight of being unnoticed. . . That is, until Denki Kaminari, the loud, popular football star with a sunshine smile starts paying attention to her.

    What begins as an accidental argument over a manga slowly turns into something neither of them expected as Denki’s persistent kindness chips away at the walls Jirou has spent years building, she finds herself caught between the safety of solitude and the terrifying possibility of being seen and loved.

    But not everyone is happy about the “goth girl” catching the eye of the school’s golden boy.

    A story filled with awkward flirting, chaotic friend groups, late-night manga talks and one very determined football player, can two opposites really find something real?

    Summary

    “They equipped you with gentlemanly programming? Not a stone left unturned.”
    He blinked. He may have batted his lashes. “My social relations programming is thorough,” he said, “I can anticipate the desires of those around me without having to be told.”
    “You anticipate that I desire a gentleman?” The elevator cables whirred from behind the doors.
    “You’ve just told me what you want,” he said, standing with his hands folded behind his back. A dinging bell, and the lagging elevator doors opened. “I just anticipated it before you could.”

    Summary

    In a world where the dead have claimed almost everyone, one little girl survives by staying unseen.

    Nine-year-old Alex has no one. Haunted by years of abuse and the loss of her beloved sister, the only piece of her old life she has left is an old camera---a final gift that reminds her there was once beauty in the world.

    Every photograph is a memory. Every memory is a reason to keep going.

    And somehow, she's survived longer than anyone should.

    Until she meets a man named Lee Everett... and a little girl named Clementine.

    As their paths become one, Alex discovers that surviving the apocalypse isn't just about finding food, escaping walkers, or living another day.

    It's about learning to trust. It's about finding a family when you've lost your own. And it's about holding on to what makes us human... even when the world is determined to take it away.

    Summary

    Vague voices waft around him, he doesn’t know what’s going on, only one of them sounds familiar.

    Some images distract him from the voices.

    Beautiful cozy dreams of holding her in his arms or kissing her by the fireplace in their loft, tough heartwrenching nightmares of losing her with his own lightning or seeing her with his nemesis, coming back to his mind like returning to the torturous cycle he used to be in, remembering things he didn’t do any of.

    Summary

    *
    祖父说,希腊神话里的Mnemosyne,是记忆女神,缪斯的母亲,掌管记忆,文字,语言,时间和神谕。
    而文字和语言都是有声的,我把它们编到我的歌里。我觉得音乐也是一种记忆的形式。
    它可以是鹈鹕镇上的风、雨和云,也可以是无声的旋律。
    它见证了我的梦想、成长,还有……爱情。

    很早以前我看过祖父书房里的书籍,关于爱情的故事,是小时候的王子公主,格林童话。后来我很少看了,偶尔想起那些现在认为幼稚的童话,我还会想,我的爱情故事是什么样的?
    占卜师说,这像夏日的阳光,像秋日的落叶,像鹈鹕镇的雨,也像一杯浓稠的咖啡……她说我会知道的。
    而在十九岁的春天,那是我第一次见到她,像是命运的馈赠。当我意识到我喜欢上这样一个有一双安静明亮黑眸的女孩时,我仿佛听见有个声音说。
    故事开始了。

    ——山姆,于不知第几年的春日。
