Summary
Mira and Zoey have built a life together full of messy kitchens, late-night streams, and a love that’s loud, chaotic, and perfectly theirs. Mira keeps the restaurant running while juggling stress and perfectionism, and Zoey brings energy, laughter, and an audience that somehow knows too much about their lives. Everything feels steady — until Rumi shows up. Tall, stoic, and covered in soot more often than not, she has a habit of appearing at the wrong place at the right time, and somehow she starts to carve a space in their hearts without even trying.
Flour fights, shared blankets, awkward glances, and very pointed touches later, the three of them are learning that love isn’t always simple — especially when it comes in threes.
Or
Fire, flour, feelings, and very bad timing. They’re not always graceful, they’re rarely on time, and somehow every small disaster ends in a moment that melts their hearts. Welcome to domestic chaos with a side of pining.

Summary
Fresh off a move and armed with a questionable apartment, a worn-out couch, a handful of bad habits, you're full of hope life will be better in NYC as you're about to start your first year at NYU.
Then you stumble into West-View Café, and meet its two redheaded owners: Wanda, all soft smiles and gentle curiosity, and Natasha, all sharp lines and blunt honesty.
What starts as a desperate quest for caffeine quickly turns into something else, a place to be when the demons in your head refuse to stay quiet. You came to New York to start over. You didn’t expect to be noticed. And you definitely didn’t expect them.
But sometimes a city gives you exactly what you need - long before you realize why. What starts as a way to relieve stress quickly morphs into something you forbid yourself to feel. Caught between your unraveling thoughts and your desire to just keep the past in the past, you start to wonder if, maybe, good things can happen to people not heaven bound.

Summary
After Verosika gets into a disagreement with Valentino, Vox swoops in to do damage control. Or at least, he tries to.
---
Verosika laughs a little again before taking her drink and swirling it gently.
“You know, Vox, you’re an asshole,” she says, watching the dizzying liquid spin in consistent, comforting circles. He starts to say something, but before he can, she finishes, “But I like moments like this. You’re an asshole, but we can laugh about it...It feels real.”
---
Vox stands and snaps his fingers. A silky instrumental begins playing warmly through the office speakers. “And who knows, you could actually end up connecting a bit with Valentino, if you let yourself.” He saunters towards her, presence grandiose enough to take up the entire room. In that moment, he feels giant and Verosika feels-
Vox goes on, “Through our fits and fights, when the smoke clears, all I hope is to keep a good relationship between the four of us - Val, Velvette, and me and you.” He reaches out his hand to dance.
She reluctantly takes it.

Summary
“Only What I’ve Made of You” follows Brenner Valcoris, the gentle, reluctant heir to one of five ancient vampire houses that secretly rule the modern world. Brenner grows up unloved in a cold and calculating household, valued not for himself, but for the serpent born of his blood, a manifestation of his unborn twin. Longing for warmth, he befriends a human boy named Nik, whose friendship becomes his only escape from the silence of his family estate. But when an accident awakens the serpent, Brenner's father condemns Brenner to silence, forcing him to watch as Nik is taken away to live under another house.
Years later, Nik returns, transformed by years of abuse, hunger, and blood. Once bright and kind, he has become something monstrous, a half-blood driven by both love and hatred for the boy who made him. Brenner, now an adult trying to balance his human life in the city with his duties as heir, finds his fragile independence unraveling as Nik reenters his life. Their reunion reignites old guilt and impossible desire. Beneath it all lies a world of aristocratic vampires, secret human farms, and government complicity, a decaying empire sustained by control, silence, and blood.

Summary
--------
Aki doesn’t seem to find pleasure in smoking. Doesn’t seem to be an addict waiting for his next hit. Out there on the balcony, the faint glow of the cigarette illuminating his fingertips, he instead looks like a man in atonement. For what, Angel isn’t sure. Aki has always been what most humans would call a good man.
Angel steps outside. Aki glances at him.
“You always look so miserable out here,” Angel says.
“Do I?” Aki’s voice is soft, like speaking too loud would interrupt the low drone of insects singing under the stars.
Angel shrugs. “More than you normally do, anyway.”
Aki exhales through his nose like a muted laugh. “Didn’t realize you paid that close of attention.”
“I don’t.” A lie.
Aki stares at him for a moment. Takes a slow drag. “I’m not miserable,” he says quietly. “I just…” he trails off.
Angel waits. The insects sing. Aki sighs.
“Do you ever think that maybe you’re just… not meant for the things you want?”--------
In the months leading up to Aki's death, the Angel Devil unexpectedly moves into his apartment.

Summary
Soobin crawled into his nest, carrying the bag with him. Methodically, he pulled out the new clothes and began arranging them among everything else. Clothes were tucked into the footboard and under the pillows at the head of the bed. Though it was hard not to tell that the scent of alpha was by far the most prominent. The realization alone had him blushing. He looked over at the other two as he finished. He found himself settling on his knees with his hands folded in his lap. He couldn’t help himself as he asked, “Do you like it?”
“Of course,” Beomgyu said at the same time Yeonjun blurted, “Yeah.”
Soobin hated the way he preened slightly after gaining their approval. “Do you guys want to come sit?”
Beomgyu started to bound over, but Yeonjun held him by the shoulder. “Are we allowed to?”
Soobin blinked rapidly. “I don’t actually know. I’ve never had an alpha in my nest before.”
Admitting it was embarrassing. But they didn’t look appalled or even shocked. They wore soft smiles, bright and open. “We’re honored then,” Beomgyu said as they reached the bed.
𓂃۶ৎ
Yeonjun and Beomgyu want to have a baby. They ask their omega friend, Soobin, to be their surrogate.

Summary
Spencer,
Since maturing, I have had one fantasy — to make a meal that is truly better than sex. Ambitious, truly, and only worse when I truly explain it: I wish to watch my lover orgasm simply from eating what I have prepared for them. Dreadfully far-fetched, but nonetheless addictive to my mind. I know this is physiologically improbable (at best). However, after giving it some thought — read, years of thought, including to this very moment, I think the effect I dream of could be readily achieved. It would, I think, only take a carefully planned menu, some light mechanical aid, and a willing participant.
I hope this letter gives you some food for thought. Please let me know if you’d be interested in making this a reality with me.
Tuck in,
Rossi---
In a universe where the BAU is an established polycule, Rossi invites Spencer to help him bring a fantasy into the real world - bringing a lover to orgasm with nothing but food.
