Summary
“I guess I always knew he’d be the one to ruin whatever teenage dream I had left. I really… fuck— really thought that I’d just pack my shit, disappear, crawl back into whatever hole I came from. Or maybe— maybe you’d call the cops, and we’d just… fade out. Two ghosts, different graves, different towns. But then, you gave me hope, hyung. And that was the cruelest thing you could’ve done to me.”
Or: Just as the police prepare to declare a missing boy dead, Minho meets Peter.

Summary
Seabright Bay is too small to breathe in, and Izuku Midoriya swore he’d never come back. But his mother is sick, so he does — the town, the ocean, and the boy who made it hell all waiting where he left them. Katsuki Bakugou isn’t the golden prodigy anymore, he’s a sun-bleached apology in a surf shop, a storm he never learned to name.
What started at thirteen with salt, a kiss and a cruelty, it never stopped pulling. Years of silence calcified into hate, regret, and a want neither of them knows how to survive. Now they keep colliding: in doorways and bars, on sandbars and sidewalks, caught between who they were and who they’re terrified to be. Izuku is done drowning. Bakugou is done pretending the tide isn’t his fault.
This is about the love you survive, the apologies that come too late, and the kind of forgiveness that feels like standing in the break and choosing to stay.
“Because the truth was, loving Bakugou had never been the problem. It was surviving it.”
“You don’t get to call this unfinished, you hear me? You ended it the second you made me wish I was someone else.”

Summary
Simon Riley, known as “The Ghost of Manchester,” has spent fifteen years as the most feared hitman in Britain’s underworld, until one last job grants him a chance at a new life. He escapes to Wynndale, a picture-perfect Yorkshire village decked in Christmas cheer, determined to live in the shadows and forget his violent past. Which proves impossible when Johnny MacTavish, a cheerful ex-soldier turned coffee shop owner of The Sneaky Kilt, and relentless spreader of holiday spirit, crashes through Simon’s defenses like nothing he's ever experienced before.
As Wynndale celebrates the season, Simon is drawn into Johnny’s world of found family, sparkly kilts, the true joy that comes with Christmas, and after-hours decorating. Before long, he finds his dark grey world slowly transformed into golds, greens, and reds, though none as vibrant as the blue eyes of Johnny.
However, when Simon discovers Johnny's in danger from more than just the local thugs threatening his coffee shop, Simon must confront the darkness he can’t outrun, a lifetime of cold and calculation, and what it truly means to love and live with another.
Or as I like to call it: "Hallmark Presents : A Hitman For Christmas"

Summary
“I just wanted to—”
“To talk? You thought sitting here, all sad and tragic, in our spot, would spark some nostalgia?” Chuuya scoffed. “That I’d come
running back like some pathetic—God, I can’t believe I even came down here.”“I know you hate me,” Dazai said, standing up. “But—”
“Hate you?” Chuuya tilted his head, as if he was considering it, with the kind of detachment that hurt worse than fury. “Nah. I hated you for about two years. Now I just… don’t really think about you at all. Or at least I didn’t, until you decided to make a grand comeback no one fucking asked for.”
or, dazai comes back to his hometown at twenty-two, four years after leaving Chuuya without a word, trying to fix what he broke between them. In which, he isn’t particularly good at.

Summary
Clementine’s security detail had to change. Well, no— that made it sound like she had more of a choice over it.
When her ex-fiancé’s drug scandal had connections drawn between him and a certain cartel, Clementine was assigned a close protection officer even during her recluse. Now, about to go on a worldwide tour with camera’s capturing the very sweat down her back, her local bodyguard was no longer gonna cut it.
She wasn’t going to let the Las Almas Cartel scare her, not again.
Although her new bodyguard certainly did.
Protecta Security Company had a good reputation, often covering international cases like hers. It should soothe her; it should be reassuring. But meeting Simon Riley disturbed her waning relaxation. He seemed determined to instil the fear of God into her and try as she might to remain unbothered by the threat he brought to light, he was starting to wear her down.
In more ways than one.
“New photos of Clementine Watson of Eye For An Eye! What exactly is this bodyguard getting paid for?!”
