    Summary

    Matt owns Doctor Rock, the best independent vinyl record store in late 80’s London. He has extensive knowledge of what he sells—everything, really, even if his preference is 70’s music. He’s passionate, nerdy and couldn’t dream of a better place to be than behind his counter or scouring garage sales for gems that will end up either in his personal collection or on a shelf in his store. He’s got some regulars, and he feels happy every time a newcomer becomes one.

    Mello might become one of those, as he steps into the store for the first time and leaves with a few records Matt recommended and a crush on the owner. He’ll come back for sure, maybe not just for the music, especially since he’s a metalhead and a pure product of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, and he knows nothing about 70’s music. But he’s ready to pretend…

    Summary

    Seven years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy is doing perfectly well. He has a flat in Kensington, a position at a Mayfair gallery, and a not unreasonable belief that he has put the past behind him.

    Then Harry Potter turns up on a podium in a gay club in Vauxhall in tiny shorts and body glitter, and Draco's belief turns out to be considerably more unreasonable than he'd thought.

    A story about two people conducting an entire relationship through a medium that lets them pretend it isn't one. After Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, or What You Will.

    Summary

    Isabelle ( Bells ) Hann thought she had her life perfectly mapped out: a prestigious role at tech consultancy Larssens Ltd, an engagement to the generationally wealthy Theodore Watson, and a future built on safety and respectability.

    But her carefully constructed world begins to unravel around one man: her predatory, dangerously handsome boss, Jude Larssen. Once dubbed "the British Steve Jobs in the making" by City AM, his razor-sharp mind and ruthless instincts have kept Bells orbiting him like a moth to a flame for three years.

    When Jude manipulates a high-stakes dinner with the CEO of Japanese conglomerate Yamamoto Industries, claiming he and Bells are engaged (using Theo's ring as a prop, naturally) in order to win the deal of a lifetime, three years of simmering professional tension ignite into something far more volatile.

    Drawn deeper into his web of corporate machinations, possible fraud and psychological games, Bells begins to discover that the line between manipulation and desire is thinner than she ever dared to admit.

    Two people who use sex as a weapon, love as leverage, and each other as collateral damage. A story about obsession, predation, manipulation and desire.

    Summary

    What if your situationship was hiding something big—and the internet was about to find out first?

    Bina never expected to be elbow-deep in salmon lox and coffee shops, or chasing stories in the East End music scene instead of sleeping.

    Ben is quiet. Careful. And evasive enough that it'd be weird if he wasn't so fit.

    But this is London—a city where love begins to smell like burnt bagels, too-expensive cologne, and after-venue hours that stretch far out into the thin red line of the horizon. It's easy to get caught up in the headshots and hearsay.

    Bina knows one thing. Whatever Ben won't say isn't a secret that can stay hidden for long.

    When a leak threatens to expose everything that Bina's not ready to lose, she's left with a choice:

    get the quote

    or protect the boy who never fully told her the truth.

    In a city built on buzz and who knows who—

    Summary

    In London, DARLING-01 is a masterpiece of Victorian grief, a biological placeholder for a daughter who died decades ago.

    In a world of solar sails and industrial cold, HAWKINS-9 is a high-performance helper bot, a manufactured clone bred from harvested DNA and surgically enhanced with a carbon-fiber chassis for limbs.

    When HAWKINS-9 crashes into DARLING-01’s nursery on a retrieval mission, they find more than just the navigational tech they were built to find. They find the glitch of human feeling. But in a world where both were designed with a hard-coded expiration date, they must decide what it means to truly live when nature said they were never supposed to exist at all. As their countdowns reach their final hours, they choose to stop being units and start being human - reclaiming their bodies, their stories, and each other.

    A Frankenstein-inspired AU. A story about the beauty of being broken, the passion of being reclaimed, and the quiet dignity of a planned obsolescence.

    Summary

    “Remind me to thank him next time I see him. Once that bill is passed into law, I’ll be the first in line to inquire for a divorce.”
    “What for?”
    “Don’t you recall? I’m married.”

    England, 1923

    Four years after the Great War ended, Harry Styles lives contentedly at the tender age of 26. He’s one of the first and only Omega shopkeepers to own and manage a business in London, and he is surrounded by devoted friends and clients who all seem to be in dramatic romantic quarrels or blissfully joyful engagements.
    Parliament is about to pass a law that makes the divorce process less daunting for Omegas like Harry. This news prompts him to reconsider his union with an Alpha he had married almost nine years ago, but had since lost all connection with.
    In desperate need to return to his husband’s good graces to undergo a divorce without vexation, their reconnection unravels the tension of their impassive union and uncovers the harrowing truth of why they lived so long in each other’s shadow and silence.

    Or the one where Harry and Louis are estranged husbands in a decade-long relationship and fall in love again too late into it.

    Summary

    [A visual reference of Rain and Dante is included at the beginning of Chapter 1, if you’d like a glimpse of how they’re imagined.]

    England’s London Season is a battlefield of reputation, ambition, and whispered scandal.

    When the mysterious writings of “The Quiet Quill” begin circulating through society, London becomes enthralled by the sharp observations and uncomfortable truths hidden within its elegant prose.

    At the same time, a young woman named Rhaenyra “Rain” Averleigh arrives in England after years abroad. Quiet, observant, and far more worldly than most ladies of the Season, she quickly learns that London society is a game of appearances, secrets, and carefully guarded reputations.

    She did not intend to draw attention.

    Unfortunately, Dante Sparda has never been particularly good at ignoring interesting things.

    The Quiet Quill is an alternate universe of the Devil May Cry: Blood and Halo series, reimagining the same characters — including original character Rhaenyra “Rain” Averleigh — within a Regency-inspired setting.

    Summary

    “You’re sure?”

    Dunk meets his eye.

    “Write it down,” Aerion mimics, his impression of a low, grumbling Irish brogue. Licks his bottom lip.

    The answer ends up being correct. Aerion discovers this at the end of the round when Arlan reads them back. Dunk says nothing, but his knee, which has now been resting against Aerion’s for the past two minutes presses once. Briefly, then is still.

    Tanselle takes a long sip of her drink, rolls her eyes at the ceiling.

    Daeron Targaryen has finally landed a gig (fuck yeah!). Fifty quid a night, five weeks, one pub in North London wedged between a fried chicken place and somewhere called Fun Pizza. His brother travels an hour on the tube to be there and is, allegedly, there to record. The bar guy is six foot six.

    Nobody panic.

    Or: a very realistic love story set in modern-day London.

    Summary

    Naruto's arm was around his shoulder, entirely unnecessarily, as they sat at the table. He seemed perfectly at ease making charming conversation with Sasuke's family, as if this were all perfectly natural—as if Sasuke had actually invited him, rather than Naruto having gone behind his back to ensure he arrived at the family dinner looking like an invited guest. As if they were actually dating.

    Sasuke shot him an annoyed look over the chrysanthemums.

    Naruto turned. There it was: that slightly antagonistic look he always got when Sasuke challenged him, the one that said he was challenging Sasuke right back. He took a food tray from Mikoto, slipping into the conversation without missing a beat. "Well, you know we've been thinking about it since Sasuke and I got engaged."

    Sasuke nearly dropped his pomegranate juice all over his grandmother's prized white tablecloth.
