Summary
New Orleans, 1928. The Bayou Butcher has been active for years, but only recently has his case begun drawing real attention.
When Evelyn Bennett takes a position as Alastor’s secretary at the local radio station, she quickly realizes he is not what he seems: She sees enough to know better and decides to look not too closely.
As their connection deepens through music, work and conversation, curiosity becomes something far more dangerous.
What forms between them is built on what is noticed and what is left unspoken.A slow-burn story about control, awareness and choice. Where love is not redemption and staying is a decision.

Summary
In the gritty, snow-choked streets of 1935 New York, a hard-boiled private investigator—known as Grimm Wolf—keeps to himself, scraping by on odd jobs and cheap whiskey. Once a decorated veteran, Wolf now avoids both trouble and his own kind: the “fables,” supernatural beings hiding among humans. He prefers the company of ordinary people, even if they rarely return the sentiment.
But trouble finds him anyway. After a run-in with corrupt cops and a failed gig chasing a runaway cat, Wolf’s routine is shattered by a surprise visit from Prince Charming, the impossibly handsome and powerful CEO of Fairyland. The prince reeks of money, entitlement, and secrets—and he’s not alone. He’s looking for his missing secretary, who turns out to be none other than Miss Red Riding Hood.
Will Wolf uncover the truth? Will he finally be forgiving? Only time will tell.- Language:

Summary
“Just before you got back, Tiny was telling me all about the time he knocked down Eddie Rickard.”
“Can’t picture you knocking anyone down,” Rabbit said. “Aren’t you supposed to turn the other cheek?”
“Frank was turning the other cheek and it wasn’t getting him anywhere.” Tiny leaned back in his chair like he was settling into the story. “Asking him nicely wasn’t getting anywhere and this was before I really knew Frank. We were in the same class, sure, but I hadn’t said more than a word or two to him. Just kept seeing this scrawny, quiet kid getting pushed around and I’ve always been a lot bigger so no one was going to be picking on me. Anyway, I knocked him over a couple times. Didn’t take long for him to get the idea.” He grinned as he reached for his beer. “Me and Frank’ve been mates ever since. Haven’t we, Frankie?”

Summary
Vincent Whittman finally got the chance to lead the first long range television experiment, but it all went horribly wrong. He found that everyone in the lab and the surrounding city was dead. He desperately tried to get in contact with anyone else who survived, but had no luck. Until he heard a voice on the radio…
Alastor lived alone in a cabin in the woods, just outside of New Orleans. On his day off from hosting his radio show, he liked to sit by the fire and listen to other popular radio shows. On this particular day, the broadcast ended in screams and static. Alastor soon found that most people in New Orleans had died… and others had taken on a strange form. He retreated back to his cabin and began doing nightly radio broadcasts to document the apocalypse.
In other words, a single broadcast is what brought them together at the end of the world.
Updates will be posted every Friday!

Summary
Charlotte was the daughter made of sunshine and big, bright dreams. Diana? Diana was made of the quiet,always in the background, stuck with a title from Heaven she never wanted.
Now, she’s come to in a damp New Orleans alleyway with no memories, a scratchy blanket, and a cold that won't leave her bones. She doesn't know who she is or why she’s there, all she knows is the woman who found her is very kind.
And then there’s Alastor. He’s sharp, he’s curious, and he’s looking at her like she’s a riddle he has to solve.
Being human is a lot harder than the stories she grew up on, but maybe it’s a little easier when you aren’t doing it alone.

Summary
Sin. It was a sin.
The only thought passing through Yunho's troubled mind was that Mingi had committed the greatest of sins. Still, going against all of his own dogmas, Yunho found himself seeking Mingi's warmth even more. Yunho wanted to pray for him, to connect with him. Perhaps that was Yunho's purpose in the world, perhaps he could change Mingi for good and make him seek salvation while there was still time.
But Mingi, whose arms then wrapped around Yunho's body in a longing embrace, did not seem to want to be saved.
