    Summary

    She looks down at the silver ring she's been cradling in her palm, at this (good, great) man that she's let past her walls and trusts with her life, and the trepidation blooms in her chest, twists, and shakes, and transforms and expands until it's defiance. The drumming in her heart speeds up with love, love, love and she fights down the fear, the hesitation, the insecurity, the little whispers of ideologies born in a war-torn land and buried in this shining new world they've just started to build.

    She is a weapon and a person, and she belongs to no one, but she belongs with him. She's got a new purpose, and the bright, winding, ever uncertain road to the future stretches ahead, all hers for the taking. And this is not shameful, it's not disgraceful. Reaching for happiness is no treason, and she's going to grab hers with both hands and hold on tight with all she's got.

    Summary

    “If they find out Jiang Min is Wei Ying’s child?” Lan Wangji questions. Jiang Cheng grinds his teeth at the thought of it, “I lose custody over Jin Ling, the reputation of Yunmeng Jiang goes down the drain, and my child is the target of a hundred different sects.”

    Lan Wangji nods slowly. He is silent for a long while and Jiang Cheng gets the sense he is contemplating something.

    “Jiang Wanyin,” Lan Wangji speaks finally, with deep gravity, “Will you marry me?”

    (The first time Jiang Cheng lets Wei Ying knot him, they are still bloody from killing Wens.)

    Summary

    From Wheatley's perspective, this all felt like a form of personal Hell. Here he was... armless, legless, without a management rail. With only the gravitational orbit of the moon as his way of movement. The only thing he had with him to talk to was the other core, who seemed more preoccupied with the vastness of space.

     

    Wheatley floats around in space, thinking about what he did.

    Summary

    Robert and Sonar spend a lovely weekend together, and without really thinking, Robert walks into work on Monday with giant bite marks visible on his body that make it look like he was attacked by a vampire. Naturally, the Z-Team takes it upon themselves to bet on it while Robert and Sonar clumsily fumble over themselves trying to keep them from finding out who actually gave him those marks.

    -----------

    Fixing his hair, Robert walked into the building and made his way to the break room, pouring himself a coffee.

    “DAMN BITCH! I didn’t know you was freaky like that!”

    “Huh..? What are you talking about?” Robert turned to Prism, who was snacking on a banana and scrolling against a wall nearby.

    “Your neck! And.. collar.. And your arm? Jesus, Robert! You freaky freaky!” She snickered to herself as the realization dawned on Robert. Shit.

    “I really don’t... What are you trying to say, Prism?” he rubbed his face.

    “Whoever you’re dating is some kind of fuckin’ vampire, girl.” she tapped on her phone a few times and moved to him, snapping a photo of the side of his neck. “Look.”

    “What are we talking about?” Malevola phased into the room, sheathing her sword.

    Summary

    Neil was the pervasive lie Andrew foolishly allowed himself to indulge. A person who would stay? Fairytale. It wouldn’t last.

    Forevers didn’t exist for him.

    With graduation on the horizon, Andrew leaves Neil before Neil can leave him. But after a year, he starts to wonder if maybe he was wrong. Maybe he can have it all.

    Summary

    His hand is small in yours. He has grown so much at eight years old, unrecognizable from the infant you were too small to hold yourself but looked at so much when he came into this world bloody and screaming. He had almost died, you will get to know later. They had to cut the umbilical cord he had wrapped around his neck and nose before pressing his hand in front of his face, dragging him out of your mother’s flagging body almost against his will. You’re glad they did. You’re twelve years old and you love him fiercely. You love him because he is your responsibility - and more so despite it.

    Summary

    [Incarnation Kim Dokja will be killed by the person he loves most.]

    At first, the question that came to mind was who that one person could be; however, the realisation that it was every single member of his company, his family, made far more sense. Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse, the story contained in the novel, is what led to his demise.

    That didn’t dull the pain of Yoo Joonghyuk’s final blow. The protagonist was no longer a fictional character, his existence had become a very real and tangible thing in Kim Dokja’s mind. While he never loved Joonghyuk more than any of the others, it evolved into something that transcended words and death itself. Kim Dokja both loved and was in love for the first and only time in his life; the emotion would be everlasting and interwoven into the fabric of all the worldlines.

    -

    Yoo Joonghyuk finally shares his daily routine when he has free time. It's just as depressing as all his other pastimes!

    Summary

    Fuckin’ crazy, her mother often said. About everything and anyone. The oil prices? Fuckin’ crazy. The corner store employee who refused to let Stephanie purchase a pack of cigarettes for her mother? Fuckin’ crazy.

    Your father? Fuckin’ crazy.

    “Why do you do it?” Steph asked him once. Arthur was sat at the coffee table, writing and rewriting a first draft of the note he planned to leave behind after tomorrow’s robbery. “You’re gonna get caught again.”

    For once, Arthur didn’t tell her off for bugging him. He flipped his pencil around to erase a word, his eraser squeaking on the paper. “Keeps me sane.”

    Steph considered that, frowning. “Can’t you be sane and not get caught?”

    “Not how it works, babygirl. Not for people like me.” He rubbed her head. “Go get me another beer, will ya?”

    Summary

    Across the Universe traces the slow orbit of two young men shaped long before they ever meet.

    At fifteen, Shane Hollander learns how to be excellent by being careful—by following rules no one ever writes down, by earning praise through restraint, by believing that belonging is something you can lose if you move at the wrong moment. Watching from a distance, he begins to notice another player, Ilya Rozanov, whose way of moving through the world seems governed by different laws—unsettling not because it is reckless, but because it appears unafraid.

    Years pass. Careers begin. The distance between them closes and widens again, shaped by ice time, expectation, rivalry, and the quiet cost of becoming exceptional.

    This is a story about misalignment and recognition, about bodies that know before minds allow, and about what it means to find your rhythm in a universe that never quite feels like home.

    Summary

    Wednesday has never seen the appeal of sex. But with her peers constantly prattling on about their crushes and boyfriends and girlfriends and the activities they supposedly get up to, she is becoming more and more conscious of the fact that her stance is based on theoretical knowledge only. In the interest of scientific rigor, it behooves her to gain practical experience and make a study of the effects of various carnal acts on herself. And there is only one person whom she could fathom in the role of her tutor.

    Summary

    A blind man and a mute man meet in a church. Somehow, they make the friendship work.

    Jason's ultimatum ends in the way he least expected it: with a batarang to the neck courtesy of Batman, and his murderer laughing as he bled out. Even though he survived, the damage was done. Mute, he decided to take his leave and wound up in Hell's Kitchen, New York.

    Enter Matt Murdock; blind lawyer by day and the vigilante known as Daredevil by night. Some would say his desire to help others would be what would get him killed one day, and his track record did back up that sentiment. However, that doesn't stop him from befriending a broken but kindred spirit.

    Summary

    The world has gone gray.

    No shades of blue, teal or pink.

    No brown, no yellow.

    Just gray. The gray of the stone of her cell. The gray of the bars separating her from the outside.

    -

    After the battle at the Commune, Jinx is not arrested by Caitlyn, but rather taken prisoner by Ambessa.

    In her cell, an offer is made: Harness the Arcane for Noxus, and Isha may live again.

    Summary

    The boy is just as content not bothering, defining his edges of the world with the same monochrome graphite he uses to block out shapes in the margins of his notebooks. He doesn’t have anyone to give so much of his emotional energy away for so uselessly in the first place.

    One day, normal and like any other, Ken Takakura glances up at the sound of shuffling and only sees pink.
